Crickit uses a freemium model. You can install the extension and try it at no cost for up to about 40 minutes of supported video and 120 fact-checks to see how it fits into your media diet. After that, continued use requires a paid plan.
One credit equals a segment of video up to two minutes long (and at least one minute long), watched partially or completely. If you later return to a video and re-watch a segment, it still counts as a single credit.
Why do I sometimes see fewer than three fact-checks per segment?
Crickit has a confidence gate: it withholds a fact-check if there isn’t enough strong evidence or context to support a clear judgment. That can happen when there are too few relevant search results, unclear timing or speaker information, or conflicting data. When this occurs, you may see fewer than the normal number of fact-checks in a segment. We are adhering to an important principle of fact-checking, and of science: an absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence.
How does Crickit make money?
Each fact-check costs real money to run because Crickit performs live searches, scans many sources, and uses advanced AI to compare them in real time. Pricing is designed to cover those costs and keep the service sustainable while staying as affordable as we can make it. Profit is not the primary goal; building a durable public-interest tool is. We have concrete plans to significantly lower the price over time, while maintaining and increasing quality. Thank you for subscribing and supporting us now, which will accelerate the reduction in price for everyone.
Why do you charge per fact-check instead of an “all you can eat” subscription?
Every fact-check involves real-time searches and high-quality analysis on up to dozens of sources, as well as a system optimized for real-time video fact-checking. That’s more expensive than simply asking an ordinary ungrounded AI model what it thinks. A pure unlimited plan would either be extremely pricey or would require aggressive throttling that most people would find frustrating. Charging by usage (or usage-based tiers) helps keep costs fair: light users don’t subsidize heavy ones, and we can keep quality high for everyone.
Where can I see the current prices and plans?
Because pricing can change as we scale, the latest details are always available on our Pricing page within the app and on our website. There you’ll see what’s included in each option, any limits or quotas, and additional options as they become available.
