Scribbr’s plagiarism checker, powered by Turnitin, detects plagiarism more accurately than other popular tools—particularly when texts are heavily edited.

The Sources Overview shows you the top five sources that match your writing. You can see the domain, database, and the number of matching words for each source. It’s important to cite these sources!
The premium plagiarism checker provides you with an accurate similarity score that tells you what percentage of your paper is not original.
Similarities in your document are highlighted for quick and easy reviewing. Each color corresponds to a source in the Sources Overview.
Use the comparison feature to see how similar your writing is to the original without leaving the plagiarism checker report.
Upload previous assignments or a classmate’s paper to catch (self-)plagiarism that is otherwise difficult to detect by regular plagiarism checkers.

Submissions will never be added to our content database. Therefore, no other plagiarism checker will see your text.
This plagiarism checker is not for you if you:
Ace your admissions essay to your dream college.
Compare your admissions essay to billions of web pages, including other essays.
Submit your assignments with confidence.
Detect plagiarism using software similar to what most universities use.
Take your journal submission to the next level.
Compare your submission to millions of scholarly publications.
You would never copy-and-paste someone else’s work, you’re great at paraphrasing, and you always keep a tidy list of your sources handy.
But what about accidental plagiarism? It’s more common than you think! Maybe you paraphrased a little too closely, or forgot that last citation or set of quotation marks.
Even if you did it by accident, plagiarism is still a serious offense. You may fail your course, or be placed on academic probation. The risks just aren’t worth it.
Scribbr is committed to protecting academic integrity. Our plagiarism checker, Citation Generator, proofreading services, and free Knowledge Base content are designed to help educate students in what plagiarism is and guide them in avoiding unintentional plagiarism.
We make every effort to prevent our software from being used for fraudulent or manipulative purposes.

|---|---|
| Normal document (7,500-50,000 words) | $29.95 |
| Large document (50,000+ words) | $39.95 |

If your university uses Turnitin, the result will be very similar to what you see at Scribbr.
The only possible difference is that your university may compare your submission to a private database containing previously submitted student papers. Scribbr does not have access to these private databases (and neither do other plagiarism checkers).
Luckily, many papers, theses, and dissertations are also published in public databases that Scribbr does have access to.
