Question 1

Is BSmeter a good alternative to AFP Fact Check?

Accepted Answer

For on-demand video checking, yes. AFP publishes journalist-verified articles on claims its global teams select, while BSmeter analyzes any video URL you paste and scores each claim 0-100 with cited evidence within minutes. Most people are best served treating them as complements: AFP for major viral claims, BSmeter for the video in front of you right now.

Question 2

What does BSmeter check that AFP Fact Check doesn't?

Accepted Answer

The specific video you are watching, whether or not it ever makes news. BSmeter extracts every verifiable claim, scores each one, flags logical fallacies, looks for deepfake and AI-generation signals, and analyzes viewer comments. AFP, like every newsroom, chooses which claims its journalists investigate, so plenty of footage never gets a published verdict.

Question 3

How fast is BSmeter compared with AFP Fact Check?

Accepted Answer

BSmeter returns results in seconds to a couple of minutes, and its Chrome/Firefox extension can check claims as you watch. AFP's verdicts take longer because human journalists research and write them, which is also what gives those articles their depth. Speed is BSmeter's edge; reported thoroughness is AFP's.
