Pangram review

Pangram targets people who judge writing for a living: its site names professors, editors and researchers, and the Individual plan bundles text detection, image detection and similarity checks. For $20 a month after a 7-day free trial, you get 300,000 words, 100 image scans, file upload with OCR for scanned pages, and integrations with Google Docs and Gmail. A browser extension can scan feeds on social media and Substack, and the plan includes $10 of API credits each month. The Professional plan costs $65 a month with five times the words and image scans plus $200 of API credits, which suits small editorial teams. API pricing is published openly at $0.05 per 100 words of text. The main drawback for teachers is the lack of a permanent free plan and the higher entry price compared with GPTZero or Originality.ai. We compared documented features and published prices.
