Verify a claim online with sources you can open

VeriTrace is a claim verification tool built around evidence. It retrieves sources, weighs them by type and independence, and gives you a report you can export and share.

Verify a claim, free

From claim to cited report

  1. Paste a claim, a block of text or a link.
  2. VeriTrace extracts each checkable claim and builds neutral search queries.
  3. Sources arrive live, so you can watch the evidence come in.
  4. Each claim gets a verdict, an evidence-strength meter and numbered citations.

Why independence matters

Five websites repeating one press release are one source, not five. VeriTrace merges syndicated copies and same-publisher pages and tells you how many independent sources support a result.

Export and share

Download any report as Markdown, copy a short summary, or print it to PDF. Every report stays in your history until you delete it.

Frequently asked questions

What is claim verification?

Claim verification is the process of checking whether a specific statement is supported by credible, independent evidence.

How does VeriTrace handle syndicated news?

It detects copies and same-publisher pages and merges them, so duplicates do not inflate a verdict.

Can I export the report?

Yes. Export as Markdown, copy a summary or print to PDF.

Do I need an account?

A free account is needed to run checks. It takes a minute and includes 7 checks a day.
