The FactCheck.org Alternative for Video
FactCheck.org does careful, human-researched analysis of mostly political, mostly written claims — valuable work, but slow, text-first, and selected by an editorial team. BSmeter is the on-demand, video-native alternative: paste any clip and its AI checks every verifiable claim it makes, scores each 0-100 against cited evidence, and shows you the sources so the verdict is yours to audit. Any platform, any topic, in minutes.
How it works
Drop in the video
Paste any YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast URL at bsmeter.ai, or use the Chrome or Firefox extension while you watch.
Any public video, any topic
AI checks every claim
BSmeter transcribes the video, extracts each verifiable claim, scores it 0-100 against cited evidence, and flags logical fallacies and deepfake or AI-generation signals.
Claim extraction, scoring, and fallacy flags in one pass
Verify it yourself
Each verdict arrives with its sources attached, so you can follow the citations and confirm the reasoning. Comment analysis shows how viewers are reacting.

What you get
Video-Native, Not Text-First
FactCheck.org reviews mostly written statements and articles. BSmeter checks the videos claims actually spread through now — it transcribes any clip, extracts every verifiable claim, and scores it against cited evidence.
Checks the clip itself, not a transcript someone typed
On Demand, in Minutes
Human-researched analyses can take days. BSmeter returns a full claim-by-claim credibility report in seconds to a couple of minutes, on whatever you paste.
Full report in minutes, on demand
Every Claim, No Selection
No editorial team decides which statements are worth reviewing. The AI extracts every verifiable claim in the video, so nothing is curated in or quietly left out.
All verifiable claims scored, not a subset
Audit Every Score
Each 0-100 credibility score comes with its cited evidence sources, so you can open the links and check the reasoning rather than trust the conclusion.
Cited sources on every verdict
Any Topic, Any Platform
Politics, health, science, finance, and viral claims alike, on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, or podcasts. It is non-partisan and evidence-first across all of them.
One standard across every subject and platform
Frequently asked questions
Is BSmeter a good FactCheck.org alternative?▾
For video, yes. FactCheck.org does deep human analysis of mostly written, mostly political claims and publishes on its own schedule. BSmeter checks any video you choose — every verifiable claim in it — in minutes, with each 0-100 score citing the evidence so you can audit it yourself. If what you want checked is a clip rather than an article, BSmeter is built for exactly that.
How is BSmeter different from FactCheck.org?▾
It is video-native, on demand, and auditable. Instead of an editorial team selecting written claims to research over days, BSmeter's AI extracts every verifiable claim from a video you paste, scores each against cited evidence in minutes, and attaches the sources so the verdict is yours to verify rather than take on trust.
Does BSmeter cover more than political claims?▾
Yes. FactCheck.org leans political; BSmeter applies the same evidence-based pipeline to health, science, finance, and viral claims in any video, scoring each claim 0-100 against cited sources regardless of topic.
