| Core question it answers | Is what's being said actually true? | Is this voice real, and is it who it claims to be? |
| Claim-by-claim fact-checking against live sources | Transcribes the audio, extracts every verifiable claim, cross-references each against live web sources, and returns a 0-100 credibility score with the evidence linked. Also flags logical fallacies. | Not offered. Pindrop analyzes the voice signal and call metadata, not the truth of the content being spoken. |
| Synthetic / deepfake audio detection | Flags deepfake and AI-generated media signals as one component of a broader credibility analysis. | This is the entire product (Pindrop Pulse), not a feature. Purpose-built liveness detection with 300+ patents in audio analysis and a company-reported 99% accuracy; Pulse can flag a synthetic voice in about two seconds. |
| Live call and meeting fraud defense | Not offered. BSmeter analyzes published and recorded video and audio, not live conversations. | Real-time risk scoring on inbound calls (Protect), caller authentication and voice biometrics (Passport, Deep Voice), carrier/call metadata analysis (VeriCall), and deepfake detection extended to Zoom. |
| Where it runs | Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link — or run the Chrome/Firefox extension while the video plays, with claims checked in sync as you watch. | Enterprise contact-center integrations, an API, and a web app for file upload (Pulse Inspect), aimed at media organizations, governments, nonprofits, and platforms. |
| Access and pricing | Self-serve and instant. Free tier; Basic $3.99/mo; Premium $8.99/mo. | Enterprise sales-led with custom quotes based on call volume and implementation. No public pricing or free tier — pricing is negotiated directly. |
