Free vs Paid Plagiarism Checker

Plagiarism, accidental or deliberate, can have a huge impact on your academic career, from failing a course to legal issues.

Enago Plagiarism Checker with Auto Grammar Check starts just at US $12 and uses the most sophisticated algorithms to detect plagiarism against 91+ billion current and archived web pages.
