Quetext seems to pull up more duplicate text results than copyscape

If copyscape says your article is 0% duplicate, should you go with this finding since Copyscape is the 'industry standard' for SEO copywriting?

I use the Copyscape premium. It's the web's most powerful Plagiarism detection service.

And your proof is where?

I have a team of writers and we binned Copyscape a long time ago as it is crap.

At least if you're making such claims, provide a case study or research.

@blackbeans, yeah it's the norm still for writers to use Copyscape, but anyone I hire to write we have set criteria for and it doesn't include Coyscape.

Annoyingly Qutetext used to be a flat $10 a month but now have moved ( without notification ) onto a credit based system like Crappyscape.

When we reached out to ask why ( twice ) they chose not to reply.

Wow. I didn't know this. So they have a $10 initial buy like Copyscape now? How much per search at Quetext?
 
Copyscape is pretty much the industry standard, even though it’s not perfect. I mean, sure, CS giving a text 0% plagiarism is not foolproof, but it is enough for you not to get into any trouble. That is the idea, right?
The problem with using a stricter tool is the possibility of it detecting plagiarism where there isn’t any. When you’re writing about brands or niche products, making texts at 0% will become needlessly difficult. You should ask yourself if you want that headache.
 
Anyone know how much Quetext is per search? How many words per search?
 
I originally got Copyscape because of all the praise it gets. It's not good... The grammarly plagiarism checker for example does a much better job.
 
Quetext? I'm sorry but I have never heard of it. On the contrary. I use Copyscape every now and then. And it works great for me.
 
I've been using the free https://1text.com/ as an alternative to Copyscape
It's go 2 downsides
1) sometimes the wait times between searches if very long
2) it is extremely strict so make sure you make allowances if your original text has a lot of brand names or passage quotes
 
From experience, programs such as copyscape, among others, tend to fail (not always), it is best to use the double quotation marks "" and inside a small piece of text to see if that content is used by another web page.
 
I like Quetext but I still have credits in Copyscape. So, most of the time I use Copyscape. I don't like Grammarly, as suggested by a few of the members here, as I had many cases where it showed ZERO PERCENT plagiarism which was not the case. Quetext works fine for now. I don't order articles that often and what I write is generally plagiarism-free or very low plagiarism. :P
 
You may as well use the free plagiarism checker by smallseotools, for all the good either do you. Relying on anything that is very easily manipulated, isn't wise in the first place.

I'm afraid "Copyscape Passed", "High DR" and "High DA" as quality assurances need a major rethink. Content providers need to promise to use a minimum X number of sources and provide list, and link providers should offer money back guarantees for artificially inflated "D" metrics. You know the ones I'm talking about.
