Quetext vs 1Text

[breakcode]

I have a question regarding plagiarism.
I have an article (that i have outsourced) that on Quetext pro tells me "no plagiarism found" but on 1text it tells me that there is a plagiarism value equal to 47%.

So the question is, who should I follow?

It depends on what you tell your writer, if you say you use Quetext then they will check using that.

In this case try a third and see what that shows.

Is it a writer you trust? Have they changed the UTC code?

This is the first time I try this writer (he offers his services on the marketplace).
The first time he gave me 3 articles with the control done through copyscape but I told him to give me the control with quetext pro, he made me wait another 4 days because he said he had to redo the 3 articles. Now as I wrote in the thread the 3 articles do not give plagiarism with quetext pro but with 1text yes.
I can't tell you if he changed the UTC code or not.

Figured 1Text could be over protecting sometimes becoming writer's nightmare

Exactly! So the question is to publish the article even if 1text gives a unique value of 47%?
Always considering that quetext pro does not find plagiarism.

Try manually copy and pasting a few segments into Google and see what comes up.

Doing so on google I get the site of which 1text indicates plagiarism but the sentences are only similar in the sense that the sentence seems copied but a few words have been added to differentiate.

In this case is it considered plagiarism? (always considering that quetext does not detect any plagiarism)

These types of tools are fine up to a point.

Rule of thumb with me is anything under 5% is fine, 6-10% needs addressing, over 10% is rejected.
My writers know my preferences etc, which helps.

I had an article from a writer the other month at 11% on Quetext Pro, but on closer inspection, the things it picked up were very generic words used on sites totally unrelated to my niche/topic.

These percentages refer to the values obtained from the quetext pro report right?

"Quetext pro" is far better than copyscape or anyother tool in the market as plagiarism checker.
