About Us
Headquartered in Cardiff, UK, PlagiarismCheck.io is an independent software project built to solve a simple problem: detecting copied content shouldn't be expensive, slow, or inaccurate.
The Builders
Andrew Kan
Founder & Lead Engineer
I'm a software engineer based in the UK. I've spent years building complex web applications and analyzing how information is processed and matched at scale.
PlagiarismCheck.io was born out of frustration. Existing tools in the market were either locking basic functionality behind massive paywalls, or they simply failed to detect intelligently paraphrased content. I knew that with modern machine learning techniques, I could build a faster, more secure, and highly accurate alternative.
Dr. Robert Hayes
Co-Founder & Academic Advisor
As a former university professor, I spent decades grading papers and dealing with the academic integrity pipeline. That experience taught me what reliable originality checking really requires.
I joined Andrew to build PlagiarismCheck.io because the academic world needed a tool that wasn't just searching for exact string matches, but actually understood the semantic meaning and structural integrity of a document. My role is to ensure our detection models meet rigorous university-grade standards.
Sarah Jenkins
Head of Product
My focus is entirely on the user experience and data privacy. Too many EdTech tools are confusing, bloated with ads, or secretly harvesting student data.
At PlagiarismCheck.io, I advocate for the user. That means ensuring our interface is dead simple, our results are presented clearly, and our "zero-retention" privacy policy is strictly enforced across every new feature we ship. We believe checking your work shouldn't mean surrendering your IP.
Our Commitment
Absolute Privacy
Unlike predatory services that steal your submitted essays to build their own databases, our architecture guarantees your data is deleted immediately after scanning. Your work remains yours.
Algorithm Accuracy
We focus on detecting meaning, not just exact word matches. Our system is continuously trained to recognize structural plagiarism and advanced paraphrasing techniques.
Fast & Accessible
We believe basic academic integrity tools should be free and accessible to everyone. Our free tier is robust, fast, and doesn't require a credit card to use.
