AI or Not works — but requires navigating to their website every time. Faux Spy is a Chrome extension that detects AI images by right-clicking, directly on any website. More accurate on current generators. 10 free checks/day without an account.

AI or Not is a free, accessible AI detection tool. It's been around since the detection category emerged and works for occasional checks when you have an image file on your computer.
Two things make it harder to use consistently. First, the workflow: every check requires downloading the image, opening aiornot.com in a new tab, and uploading. For checking profile photos across a dating app, that friction adds up fast — and most people stop doing it after the first photo.
Second, accuracy on current models has declined. AI or Not performs well on older generators. On Midjourney v7, Flux Dev, and other newer models, independent benchmarks put it around 75-80% — meaningful misses in the context of profiles that matter. Faux Spy uses Hive Moderation's engine, which actively retrains against new generators, maintaining 94% accuracy across current models.
| Faux Spy | AI or Not | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Chrome extension — right-click any image | Upload image to aiornot.com |
| Accuracy on current generators | 94% (Hive engine, continuously updated) | ~75–80% on newest models |
| Free tier | 10 checks/day, no account | Free single images, no account |
| Browser extension | Yes | No |
| Audio detection | No | Yes |
| Dating/scam context | Yes — built for this | No specific focus |
| Development activity | Active | Declining (~5.4% MoM traffic drop, Mar 2026) |
AI or Not's audio deepfake detection is something Faux Spy doesn't offer. If you need to check whether a voice message or audio clip is AI-generated, it handles that use case. It also covers video deepfake analysis in a broader context.
If you're not using Chrome, AI or Not is browser-agnostic — you can upload from any device. Faux Spy requires Chrome (or Chromium-based browsers).
For image-only detection on websites while you're browsing — particularly for dating apps and social media — Faux Spy's extension approach makes it significantly more usable in practice.
Faux Spy is the most direct alternative for browser-based image detection. It's more accurate on current models, works as a Chrome extension (no upload required), and offers 10 free checks per day without an account. For audio deepfake detection, AI or Not still covers something Faux Spy doesn't.
AI or Not is still a legitimate free tool for basic checks. Its declining development activity has reduced accuracy on newer generators. If you're checking images from current AI models on dating apps or social media, Faux Spy's actively-maintained engine performs better. AI or Not remains useful if you specifically need audio detection.
No. Like AI or Not, Faux Spy's free tier requires no account — just install the Chrome extension and start checking. 10 checks per day at no cost.
Faux Spy uses Hive Moderation's enterprise detection engine, which continuously retrains against new AI generators as they're released. AI or Not's declining traffic suggests reduced development investment, which means slower model updates — and accuracy drops when detection models aren't retrained against the latest generators.
