The Snopes Alternative for Video
Snopes built its name checking written claims and viral rumors, one article at a time, with a human team deciding what merits a review. That model is thorough but slow, text-first, and asks you to trust the verdict. BSmeter is the video-native alternative: paste any YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link and its AI scores every verifiable claim 0-100 against cited evidence you can open yourself — in minutes, on any topic, with no editorial desk in between.
How it works
Paste a video link
Drop any YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast URL into bsmeter.ai, or use the browser extension while you watch. Any public video works.
Any platform, any topic
AI extracts and scores every claim
BSmeter transcribes the video, pulls out each verifiable claim, and scores it 0-100 against cited evidence, flagging fallacies and deepfake signals along the way.
Results in seconds to a couple of minutes
Audit the sources

Every score links to its evidence
What you get
Built for Video, Not Articles
Snopes and similar sites focus on written claims and rumors. BSmeter checks the medium misinformation actually travels in now: video. It transcribes any clip, extracts every verifiable claim, and scores each one against cited evidence.
Checks YouTube, TikTok, Reels, and podcasts directly
Minutes, Not Days
A human-researched article can take days to publish. BSmeter returns a full claim-by-claim credibility report in seconds to a couple of minutes, while the video is still spreading.

Frequently asked questions
Is BSmeter a replacement for Snopes?▾
It is a complement built for a different job. Snopes does deep, human-researched write-ups of written claims and rumors; BSmeter checks video claims — every one in a clip you choose — instantly and with sources you can audit. If what you want fact-checked is a YouTube, TikTok, Reel, or podcast, BSmeter checks it directly and now, rather than waiting for someone to publish an article about it.
How is BSmeter different from Snopes?▾
Three ways: it is video-native (it transcribes and checks the clip itself), it is instant (minutes, not days), and it is auditable (every 0-100 score cites its evidence, so you do not take the verdict on faith). It also removes human claim selection — the AI extracts every verifiable claim rather than an editor choosing which to cover.
Is there a free Snopes alternative?▾
BSmeter's free tier includes one full analysis per day at no cost. Basic is $3.99/month for 15 analyses a day, and Premium is $8.99/month, adding deeper Grok AI analysis, audio narration, podcast intelligence, and videos up to two hours. Both paid plans come with a 15-day free trial.
Can BSmeter check political claims the way Snopes does?▾
Yes, and it applies one standard to all of them. BSmeter is non-partisan and evidence-first: the same 0-100 rubric scores a claim regardless of which side it helps, and every score cites its sources, so you can check any verdict you suspect of leaning.
