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 up to 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.

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.
