3 recommended plagiarism checker tools in 2022

Delivering unique and original content is necessary for brands and marketers to connect with their audiences. It establishes first impressions, builds trust, and offers up answers to likely questions.

That said, it's also easier than ever to accidentally use content copied verbatim from somewhere else, especially if other people are writing your content. Sometimes, writers may paraphrase content from research, thinking their stories have zero plagiarism.

Depending on the source, plagiarism can come with a range of implications – from getting chewed out by strangers all the way to dealing with their lawyers.

On the bright side, new tech offers ways to tackle the issue and prevent your team from getting into trouble. A variety of free plagiarism checkers are available online. In no particular oreder, here are some good ones to check out.
