- Payment processor attribution differs across two live legal pages - the Privacy Policy names Paystack for billing while the Cookie Policy names Stripe (plus a Stripe cookie table). Both may be accurate for different layers, but the checkout flow was not exercised.
- No independent third-party accuracy evaluation is published; the benchmark figures are the vendor's own results on a 400-document internal corpus.
- Security posture is now unanswered rather than contradicted - the former 'SOC-2 Type II Certified' footer claim was removed in the 2026-10-08 fix, and no replacement certification or audit detail is published.
- The free tier is five one-time introductory checks (1 guest + 4 signed-in), not a recurring free plan.
Not a FormSubmit submission - an inbound affiliate/partnership offer to partnerships@aidetector.cx, held from 2026-10-06 pending two publication blockers. Editorial entry written independently; no vendor copy reused. Both blockers verified cleared on the live site 2026-10-08: (1) the training-use contradiction is gone - both /detector and /privacy now state submitted analysis text is not used to train or fine-tune detection models on any plan, and the old Enterprise/Professional-scoped opt-out sentence no longer exists; (2) the four named third-party testimonials (Forbes / Stripe / HubSpot / Nature Portfolio) have been removed from /detector. The vendor also removed the SOC-2 Type II footer claim and the 98.7% / 1.2s / 12.4M+ / 142+ marketing figures. Verified the same day from the live pages: /pricing (plans 12/29/79 monthly, 120/290/790 annual, 300/1,000/3,000 credits), /privacy (data controller AIDetector.cx Inc., Berkeley CA; 12-month analysis history retention, deletable from the dashboard; no training use), /terms (you retain ownership of submitted content; output licensed for personal or commercial use; governed by California law), /cookies (Cloudflare / Stripe / Supabase), and a sitemap listing ~40 pages. Operator: AIDetector.cx Inc., a named legal entity, not a sole-proprietor microsite. Name is shared with unrelated live detectors on aidetector.com and aidetector.ai, so the listing carries the exact .cx domain. Affiliate terms confirmed in writing 2026-10-08 - 30% recurring on eligible subscription payments for the lifetime of the customer, monthly and annual eligible, 30-day attribution window, 30-day hold, $50 minimum payout.

- The general pricing page does not expose one comprehensive price for every Microsoft Copilot product or enterprise licensing scenario.
- Pay-as-you-go agent consumption depends on the selected agent and metering arrangement; no single universal usage limit or price is stated on the overview page.
- The $18 Microsoft 365 Copilot Business amount is promotional; the checked pricing page does not state its expiration directly.
This verification is scoped to Microsoft 365 Copilot for business, not every consumer or product-specific service branded Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot works in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Loop, and other Microsoft 365 surfaces; it uses Microsoft Graph data the user is permitted to access and includes Copilot Chat, Copilot Search, agents, and app-specific drafting, summarization, analysis, and meeting capabilities. Prompts, responses, and Microsoft Graph data are not used to train foundation LLMs. Interaction content is stored under the customer's Microsoft 365 contractual commitments, encrypted at rest, manageable through Microsoft Purview, and deletable through Copilot activity history controls. Microsoft does not claim ownership of service output but does not determine whether output is copyright-protected or enforceable. Its Copilot Copyright Commitment can defend qualifying commercial customers against certain copyright claims when required guardrails and content filters were used. The official privacy and overview documentation was updated July 9, 2026. Re-verified 2026-10-01: The official Microsoft 365 Copilot pricing page still shows the recorded promotional $18/user/month Business price against the $21 list price, plus the $23.50 and $32 Business Standard/Premium-with-Copilot rates; no drift detected.
