Online Fact Check — See What
Any Video Really Claims
Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link and BSmeter pulls out the main verifiable claims, scores each one 0-100, names the rhetorical moves, and finds evidence sources for the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). Free account, 3 analyses a day, no credit card.
Everything You Need for Online Fact-Checking
BSmeter combines AI claim analysis with a web search for sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), so you can see which claims in a video deserve a closer look and check them yourself.
Paste URL & Get Analysis
Copy a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link (or a direct link to an audio file) and paste it into BSmeter. Sign in with a free account, and BSmeter transcribes the audio and pulls out the claims that can actually be checked. No credit card needed for the free plan.
AI-Powered Claim Breakdown
AI models pick out the main verifiable claims in the transcript and give each one a 0-100 credibility score. They also name the rhetorical and framing moves in play (such as Missing Context, Confidence Mismatch, Anonymous Authority, or Cherry-Picked) and point out logical fallacies.
Evidence Sourcing
BSmeter searches the web for evidence sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), so you can open and read them yourself. Sources are found automatically and may be imperfect, so treat them as a starting point for your own checking rather than a final verdict.
Three Analysis Modes
Pick the tone you want: Roast mode is uncensored and joke-first, Analyze mode gives a neutral claim-by-claim breakdown, and Learn mode explains the fallacies and framing moves it finds so you can spot them yourself next time.

AI Breaks Down the Claims

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Fact-Checking
Everything you need to know about using BSmeter to fact-check videos online.
What is an online fact check and how does BSmeter work?
An online fact check is the process of checking claims made in digital content, especially videos, against evidence. BSmeter is an AI tool that helps with the video side of that work. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link (or a direct link to an audio file), sign in with a free account, and BSmeter transcribes the audio, extracts the main verifiable claims, and gives each one a 0-100 credibility score. It also names rhetorical moves and logical fallacies, and it searches for evidence sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). The results are AI-generated and can be wrong, so treat them as a starting point, not a verdict from a professional fact-checker.
Is BSmeter really free to use for online fact checking?
There is a free plan. With a free account (no credit card needed) you get 3 analyses a day on videos up to 30 minutes long. If you need more, Basic is $3.99/month for 15 analyses a day on videos up to 60 minutes, and Premium is $8.99/month for videos up to 2 hours. The same account works in the web app and the browser extension.
What types of videos can I fact check online with BSmeter?
BSmeter supports YouTube videos, TikTok clips, Instagram Reels, podcast links, and direct links to audio files. That covers news clips, political speeches, interviews, explainers, and short social media videos. BSmeter works from the spoken audio, so it checks what is said out loud. How long a video can be depends on your plan: up to 30 minutes on Free, 60 minutes on Basic, and 2 hours on Premium.
How accurate is the AI video fact checker?
BSmeter's results are AI-generated and can be wrong. It can misread a claim, give a score you disagree with, or find sources that turn out to be weak or off-topic. It is best used as a starting point: it shows you which claims deserve a closer look and which rhetorical moves are in play. For anything important, open any evidence sources it finds, check primary sources directly, and make the final call yourself.
Do I need to install anything to use the online video fact checker?
No. The BSmeter web app works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or phone. Visit the site, sign in with a free account, and paste your video link. If you'd rather not switch tabs, the Chrome and Firefox extensions show BSmeter's results on top of YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reel pages, and there is also an Android app. All of them use the same account and plan.
How is an online video fact checker different from traditional fact-checking?
Traditional fact-checking is done by journalists and researchers who investigate claims by hand. It is thorough, but it takes time, and it only covers the claims they choose to check. An AI video fact checker like BSmeter covers any supported video you give it (within your plan's length limit) and turns the spoken audio into a list of scored claims and rhetorical moves (plus evidence sources for the weakest one — the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium) in a single pass. The trade-off is that AI output can be wrong, while a professional fact-check reflects human judgment. The two work well together: use BSmeter to find the claims worth questioning, then look for professional fact-checks and primary sources on those.
