Plagibot is an online plagiarism checker that offers a fast, free way to quickly check a file or pasted text for plagiarism. It works with .doc, .docx, .txt and .rtf files as well as direct copy and pasting
For this plagiarism checker review, we tested Plagibot against the Originality.ai plagiarism checker.
We used both direct copy-and-paste text from two Originality.ai blog posts as well as patchwork text to test the capabilities of this online plagiarism detector.
The results of our review, including screenshots, are below.
The results below show how Plagibot handles both verbatim plagiarism as well as patchwork plagiarism when compared with the Originality.ai plagiarism checker.
Patchwork plagiarism (so-called because it pulls from multiple sources) is more difficult for even modern plagiarism checkers to detect, especially compared to copy-and-paste plagiarism.
Plagibot is a quick plagiarism checker that searches millions of sources across the web to uncover instances of plagiarism. According to their website, they add nearly 60,000 pieces of content to their database every hour.

For this test, we focused on the Plagibot plagiarism checker.
We divided the test into two parts:
Step 1: First, we took content samples from two blogs featured on the Originality.ai blog.
Step 2: Next, we pasted the blog content directly into the Originality.ai plagiarism checker and into the Plagibot plagiarism checker. We then noted the percentages of plagiarism detected from both platforms.
We chose two text examples directly from the Originality.ai blog:
Step 3: For the second part of the test, we chose examples of patchwork plagiarism.
Patchwork plagiarism is an example of plagiarism that pulls from multiple sources. Because it pulls from a variety of sources, it’s more challenging for even modern plagiarism detectors to uncover.
Step 4: We then ran both samples through Plagibot and the Originality.ai Plagiarism Checker to compare results. Our findings are documented below:
Originality.ai Plagiarism Checker: 100% Match
Plagibot Plagiarism Checker: 100% plagiarized
Plagibot Plagiarism Checker: 100% plagiarized
Originality.ai Plagiarism Checker 100% Match
Plagibot Plagiarism Checker: 81% plagiarized
Originality.ai Plagiarism Checker: 77% Match
Plagibot Plagiarism Checker: 59% plagiarized
Originality.ai Plagiarism Checker: 62% Match
Plagibot Plagiarism Checker: 13% plagiarized
Plagibot started out relatively strong, with a 100% plagiarism detection on the first blog article. However, after that, its ability to detect plagiarism began to decline, with only 81% of plagiarism detected on the second blog post (Originality.ai detected a 100% Match for both published blog samples).
Plagibot also struggled with patchwork plagiarism, resulting in only 59% of plagiarism identified (compared to Originality.ai’s 77% Match identification) for the first patchwork piece and the only 13% identified (compared to Originality’s 62% Match detected) on the second piece.
With these results, we recommend that if you’re planning to use the Plagibot plagiarism checker, you check and verify your results carefully, since although Plagibot is incredibly fast, this initial test found that results weren’t always accurate.
As you can note from the test results shown above, Originality.ai’s Plagiarism Detector consistently outperformed Plagibot not just with verbatim plagiarism but also with patchwork plagiarism.
If you’re looking for a tool that goes beyond plagiarism detection, Originality.ai can also check for AI writing, check the readability of content, check factual accuracy, and improve SEO content optimization.
Although there are a number of plagiarism checkers and detectors with varying levels of accuracy, Originality.ai offers patented breakthrough technology through its best-in-class services. Check out our Originality.ai Patented Breakthrough Technology guide for more details.
Although Plagibot was one of the faster plagiarism detectors we’ve tested in our plagiarism checker review series, in this case, its accuracy didn’t match.
agiarism detector was able to identify a far more accurate percentage of plagiarized text in this head-to-head comparison.
If you’re thinking of using Plagibot to thoroughly inspect essays, blog posts or other content for plagiarism, we recommend doing your own tests independently.
If, however, you want to take advantage of the latest plagiarism detection advances in a powerful, easy-to-use platform, look no further than Originality.ai’s plagiarism checker.
