Good for
One quick check of a single paragraph, with a sentence-by-sentence list, if you do not mind that it is a one-off without an account.
Main limit
One guest scan. After it, both “New Search” and a fresh scan led to sign-up, so we have no result for a humanizer rewrite or a human text.
Free plan facts↑ Contents
| Account needed | Not for the first scan. The second scan needed one; we entered no email and created no account |
|---|---|
| Input limit | The page says: “Free scans up to 1,000 words.” The counter reads “0 /1,000 words”. Our text was 109 words |
| Time to result | Effectively instant: the result page appeared as soon as we clicked “SCAN FOR AI”, with no spinner. The page itself says “<10s” |
| What you get | A percentage, a banner (“Our detector is highly confident that the text is written by AI.”), “Total Result: 5”, and a card for each sentence |
| The wall | On the result page, “New Search” opened a “Signup to Continue” box with no close button. From a fresh page, “SCAN FOR AI” redirected to /signup?ref=home (“Signup to continue”). Both asked for name, email and password, or Google |
| What the page claims | “Instant access. No signup required for a free scan.” We saw one free scan, not a repeat allowance. A different guest session or day might behave differently; we did not test that |
Findings & screenshots↑ Contents
- Text A, our AI-written education paragraph, scored 100.00%, with the banner “Our detector is highly confident that the text is written by AI.” This is the same call Copyleaks, GPTZero and ZeroGPT made on this text in our other tests, and Sapling gave 99.3%.
- All five sentences were flagged AI in the same green underline. The page showed no per-sentence number, so the list tells you which sentences, not how strongly.
- The left panel ran sentences together with no space after each full stop (“work.In today’s”). That is how the page displayed them; our input had the spaces.
- The wall came right after the first result. We tried to scan text D (an Undetectable AI rewrite) and got the sign-up page, so we have no Quetext score for a rewrite or for the 1889 human passage. That is the part detectors are most useful for, and a guest cannot test it here.
The text↑ Contents
The one text we could scan. Copy it to check another detector.
Artificial intelligence has fundamentally transformed the way students approach their academic work. In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, AI-powered tools offer unprecedented opportunities to enhance learning outcomes and streamline research processes. Furthermore, these technologies enable learners to access personalized feedback, identify knowledge gaps, and develop critical thinking skills more efficiently than ever before. However, it is important to note that the integration of AI in education also presents significant challenges, including concerns about academic integrity and over-reliance on automated assistance. Ultimately, striking the right balance between leveraging AI capabilities and fostering independent thought will be crucial for educators and students alike as they navigate this new era of learning.

Method & updates↑ Contents
On Oct 25, 2026 an automated browser opened Quetext’s free AI Detector as a guest, pasted text A and ran one scan. It then tried a second scan with text D from a fresh page and stopped at the sign-up form. We recorded the output, the limits and the walls; Jamie C. checked the records and wrote this page. Full method.
Not tested
- Texts D and F (an AI rewrite and a human passage): the sign-up wall came before the scan
- Whether the limit resets by day or by session
- Anything behind an account: the paid plans, the plagiarism checker, the API and the other Quetext tools
- Inputs near the 1,000-word limit and non-English text
Update log
- First published, from one scan.
