PlagAware Reviews & Ratings

4.5/5

“Makes Plagiarism Checks Simple and Dependable”

I can identify even the smallest overlaps because the reports are accurate and detailed. It is not completely free, which is its only drawback, but the value it provides makes the subscription plans well worth the money.

Pros : It is easy to use, and I do not need to be a very techy to figure out how to use it and navigate.

Cons : It is not 100% free. There is a free trial, but I need a paid plan for heavy use.

Switched from : CopyLeaks

Reason to switch : Copyleaks felt too complex for my needs and it was not as accurate as PlagAware.

4.3/5

“Great for International Content but Watch for False Flags”

PlagAware is fantastic since it supports a variety of languages, which is great for content from other countries. Nevertheless, it occasionally marks commonly used terms as plagiarism, which can be a little annoying to navigate.

Pros : It works for more than just English, which is ideal if I am dealing with international content.

Cons : It sometimes flags commonly used phrases as plagiarism and it can be annoying since I sometime overlook this.

Switched from : DupliChecker

Reason to switch : PlagAware manages multi-language content much better than Duplichecker.

4.3/5

“PlagAware Catches What Others Miss”

PlagAware is precise and even identifies minute overlaps that other technologies frequently overlook. The only drawback is that I cannot use it offline because it requires a steady internet connection.

Pros : I notice that it accurately detects even the smallest subtle plagiarism that other tools might miss.

Cons : It needs the internet to work. If my Wi-Fi acts up, I will not be able to use it anymore.

Switched from : Grammarly

Reason to switch : I switched from Grammarly since it focused more on grammar and writing style than plagiarism.

4.2/5

“Flexible Settings Make PlagAware a Winner”

PlagAware's ability to let me change the settings to ignore quotations or portions is great because it saves me a ton of time. Although the fundamentals are straightforward, it required some time to learn how to use the more complex features.

Pros : I like how they allow me to adjust settings to ignore quotes or specific sections which make my life easier.

Cons : There is quite a learning curve for getting used to the advanced features. The basics are easy in contrast with the advanced features.

Switched from : Copyscape

Reason to switch : PlagAware had adjustable settings unlike Copyscape which are perfect fit for my workflow.

4.2/5

“Versatile and Gets the Job Done”

PlagAware's multi-format compatibility is what I like most about it; I can easily upload Word documents, PDFs, and even raw text. Although the UI functions well, I wish it had a sleeker, more contemporary appearance.

Pros : I like how it supports multiple formats. I can upload anything such as PDFs, Word Docs, and even raw text. This comes in very handy.

Cons : While the interface is functional, I feel like they could have made it sleeker and smoother.

Switched from : Plagiarism Checker X

Reason to switch : Plagiarism Checker X felt limited in format options and was not as flexible.

4.2/5

“Secure but Customer Support Could Be Quicker”

PlagAware is dependable, therefore I trust it with my data because I know my documents will not be saved or exploited. The only issue is that, while customer service is always helpful when they do answer, they can occasionally be a little slow.

Pros : It is dependable and I do not have to worry about my data and documentation being stored or misused.

Cons : The customer support response time can be a little slow. They are helpful but I wish they would respond sooner.

Switched from : Plagiarisma

Reason to switch : I switched form Plagiarism since I was not sure how secure it was with my data.

4.2/5

“Budget-Friendly and Reliable but Needs a Mobile App”

Compared to other solutions, PlagAware is quite affordable, which is a huge bonus for my budget. I really wish they had a specific mobile app. It is not the same as having an app for instant access, but I can use it in the browser on my phone.

Pros : When I compare it to some of the competitors. I see that it does not cost a lot where it affects my budget.

Cons : I wish they had a dedicated mobile app where I can check on the go. It is only available on my phone.

Switched from : Scribbr Plagiarism Checker

Reason to switch : Scribbr was on the pricier side and did not offer that much value.

4.2/5

“Fast Results but Not Great for Non-Text Content”

I like PlagAware's speed; it provides results without needless delays when I am in a hurry. However, I have discovered that it is not that useful when working with graphics or code because it is mostly focused on words.

Pros : I received the result comparatively faster as it does not take forever. This is great when I am in a rush.

Cons : Its main use was for written text. It is not as helpful for non-text content like images and code.

Switched from : Crossplag

Reason to switch : CrossPlag was good, but PlagAware’s speed is a time-saver.

4.2/5

“Clear and Straightforward Reports”

PlagAware's advance reports eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding by making it quite simple to identify plagiarism. The options seem restricted and I wish it had better integrations with some of the programs I use.

Pros : The reports are clear and they show exactly where the overlaps are. There is no guessing game.

Cons : It does not have good integrations with most of the apps that I use. The integrations limited.

Switched from : PlagScan

Reason to switch : PlagScan was good, but its reports felt too vague and did not give me enough detail.

4.1/5

“Great for Teams but Reports Can Be a Lot”

PlagAware is great for cooperation because it makes sharing results and working with others simple. The one drawback is that, particularly when I am pressed for time, the in-depth reports can feel excessive.

Pros : It works well when collaborating with others, it is simple to share and great for teams.

Cons : The result for me were overwhelming. Sometimes that the detailed reports feel like information overload.

Switched from : Quetext

Reason to switch : I switched from Quetext since it felt too basic for team collaboration.
