Plagiarism checker is paid per word

Seems ok, but It should be more clear in the description that it costs $10 per every 25000 words to use the plagiarism checker

It's understandable to charge for the feature since you're using a 3rd party service (copyleaks), but if the plagiarism checker is the main reason someone purchases this deal they will be disappointed.

Why not save time/frustration and make this clear in the description (even the headline)?

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the space in the description was very limited, and it was used for the more important data. 😊
We implemented the credit system that CopyLeaks is charging us. Of course, it is not a free system. But the rates are pretty clear, and they are not hidden at all. The charges are per page. Page = 250 words. If we send a request by API to get a plagiarism check done, they go by credit system: 1 page = 1 credit = up to 250 words per page
Yes, you will need to buy credits - $10 will get you 100 credits. It is not per word. It is per page. Basically, for 500 words article, it will cost $0.20
However, if you send two words in the article for a plagiarism scan – it still will be one credit. Of course, you can use CopyLeaks yourself directly on their site. But, still, if you want to use plagiarism service in our app, these are the price for credits.
Yes, they do have excellent reporting, which is very useful. I prefer them to any other plagiarism service. This is why we selected them. CopyLeaks do a tremendous job of scanning and showing similarity scores, highlighting exact parts of the text in a report that is plagiarized. Hence, you know where it came from—a very lovely service. 😊
Yet, I hope that people are checking our app, not only just for that reason. We have a lot to offer, and plagiarism is only a tiny subset of our complete integrated content creation platform.
If you have more questions or would like to have 1:1 demo - I will be happy to schedule that. We can go over any concerns and accept any suggestions.
Thank you for giving us a try.
