Fake Review Detector · Chrome extension
Catch fake reviews before you buy.
FakeCatch reads the reviews on the page you are looking at and marks the ones that read as paid, templated or off-topic. It runs by itself on Amazon, Flipkart and Trustpilot, and one click scans the reviews on any other store.
Free for 50 reviews scored a day. No account needed.
How it works
Open any product page
On Amazon (22 country sites), Flipkart and Trustpilot it starts by itself. On any other store, click the FakeCatch icon and press Scan this page. It reads nothing until you ask.
Each review gets a score
A small badge appears on every review within about a second: a trust percentage and, when there is one, the main reason for doubt.
You decide
Skim the green ones, be wary of the red ones. The popup sums up the page: how many reviews look suspicious, and the star average from the ones that read as genuine.
What the badges mean
Specific details of real use, natural wording.
Too generic to tell either way.
Reads like marketing copy, a template, or a review of a different product.
A few words say nothing either way, so very short reviews are left unscored.
A score is an automated opinion about how a review reads. It is not a statement of fact about any reviewer, seller or product.

Questions
Is a low score proof that a review is fake?
No. It is a judgement about how the text reads: generic praise, ad-like wording, no sign of real use, talk of free products. Genuine reviews can be short and vague too. Treat the score as a reason to look closer, not a verdict.
What does it read?
Only the reviews shown on the page: title, text, star rating, date and the verified-purchase mark. It does not read your account, your orders, your basket or anything you type.
Which sites does it work on?
It runs by itself on Amazon, Flipkart and Trustpilot. On other sites nothing happens until you press Scan this page, and then it only reads parts of the page that the site itself marks as customer reviews: stores using the Judge.me review widget, sites that publish reviews in the standard schema.org format, and reviews carrying a Verified Purchase label. More review widgets are being added. You can tick Always scan for a store you trust; Chrome will ask your permission for that one site.
Why does review text leave my browser?
Scoring is done by an AI model that is too large to run inside an extension. The text goes to our server and on to the model provider, and only the score comes back. Our server keeps the score, not the text. The privacy policy says exactly who handles what.
Does it work in languages other than English?
It is most accurate in English. It will score reviews in other languages, with less certainty.
How do I turn on Pro?
