Illuminarty review

Illuminarty asks a question artists care about: was this image made by AI or by a human artist. The free plan classifies images and text, and the company says basic AI detection will always be free. Basic costs $10 a month and adds localized detection, which marks the regions that look generated, plus identification of the image model most likely used and an API with 10,000 requests a day. Pro at $30 a month raises the API limit to 40,000 requests a day and adds integration support. The browser extension is listed as in development, so checks happen in the web app. Compared with the leaders, Illuminarty publishes less detail on which generators it covers. We compared documented features and published prices.
