Question 1

Is BSmeter a StopFake alternative?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, no — not as a replacement. StopFake is a newsroom of human journalists producing citable, expert-reviewed debunks of Kremlin disinformation; BSmeter is software that scores claims in any video you paste. If you want an authoritative verdict on a Russia/Ukraine narrative, StopFake is the right source and BSmeter isn't a substitute for it. BSmeter is an alternative only in the sense that it answers a question StopFake doesn't take: 'is this specific video I'm watching right now accurate?'

Question 2

Can I send StopFake a video to fact-check?

Accepted Answer

StopFake accepts public submissions by email and runs a Telegram fact-checking bot, so you can flag something to them. But it's a newsroom, not an on-demand service — what gets investigated and published is an editorial decision, and it centers on Kremlin disinformation. BSmeter checks any link you give it automatically, regardless of topic, with no queue and no gatekeeping.

Question 3

Which one is more accurate?

Accepted Answer

On StopFake's beat, StopFake — human journalists with a decade of Russia/Ukraine expertise, working under IFCN standards with published sourcing, will beat automated analysis on nuance, context, and accountability. BSmeter's advantage is coverage and speed, not depth: it will check a video no one else has looked at, in minutes, and link the evidence behind every 0-100 score so you can judge for yourself. The sensible move is to use BSmeter as a first pass and StopFake as the authority when the subject is theirs.
