Comparison

DeepSight vs Was It AI

Was It AI offers a simple, instant AI image detection experience focused on privacy. Upload an image, get a binary yes-or-no answer. No confidence scores, no forensic breakdown, no source attribution. DeepSight provides the same instant accessibility but adds multi-signal cascade analysis that tells you not just whether an image is AI-generated, but why, how confident the system is, and what specific forensic signals contributed to the verdict.

For professional use cases, DeepSight's multi-signal approach and API access make it the more capable tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do confidence scores matter?

A binary yes/no answer doesn't tell you how certain the detector is. DeepSight's confidence scores let you distinguish between a 95% certain AI detection and a 55% uncertain one. This matters for journalism, legal proceedings, and any context where the strength of evidence matters.

Is Was It AI free forever?

Was It AI offers free access with daily usage limits. DeepSight offers 5 free analyses without limits on daily resets, then affordable Pro and Enterprise tiers for heavier usage.

Does Was It AI have an API?

Was It AI does not currently offer API access. DeepSight offers a REST API starting at the Enterprise tier, allowing programmatic integration into your verification workflows.

Which tool is more accurate?

Single-model detectors, including Was It AI, are vulnerable to blind spots with specific generators. DeepSight's multi-signal cascade combines metadata, pixel forensics, LLM vision, and optional API layers, reducing the chance of any single blind spot causing a missed detection.
