Debunkr

Now Debunkr, with a new look. Paste any article URL for a 0–100 credibility score — publisher reputation, article quality, and real fact-check evidence. Read smarter.

Debunkr helps you read the news like a skeptic — without the homework.

Paste any article link and Debunkr scores its credibility from 0 to 100 in seconds, then shows its work so you can judge for yourself.

WHAT YOU GET INSTANTLY • A 0–100 credibility score with a plain-English rating: Highly credible, Mostly credible, Mixed, Questionable, or Low • A Rating Strength meter that tells you how much to trust the score • A breakdown across publisher reputation, article quality, and tone & balance • Devil's Advocate — the single strongest reason the score might be wrong

GO DEEPER WITH DEEP ANALYSIS • A Skeptic and an Advocate AI debate the article point by point • A Judge weighs both sides into a final verdict • A fact-check pipeline pulls up to 3 checkable claims and runs them against the Google Fact Check Tools API (PolitiFact, Snopes, AFP, Reuters Fact Check, and more) • Named people, places, and organizations are cross-checked against Wikipedia • Every citation comes from a real search result — no invented sources

HOW THE SCORE WORKS Debunkr blends three signals: • Publisher reputation (45%) — a hand-curated list built from Wikipedia's Perennial Sources consensus and the IFCN network of certified fact-checkers • Article quality (45%) — an AI model reads the piece and rates sourcing, hedging, and writing • Tone & balance (10%) — a small penalty for extreme political slant either way

BUILT TO BE HONEST Debunkr rates credibility signals, not absolute truth. A polished hoax can still score Mixed, and breaking news often has no fact-checks yet — when that happens, Debunkr says so instead of guessing. AI can make mistakes; we add safeguards but errors are possible. The in-app Methodology and Limitations screens lay it all out.

NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING No name, no email, no login. A random device ID enforces fair-use limits and nothing more. We don't sell or share your data.

Debunkr is a media-literacy tool, not a verdict machine. Use it to ask better questions — then decide for yourself.

Debunkr is in alpha. Ratings are estimates, not verified facts. Always check important claims independently.
