FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
General
SiftMate is a mobile app that helps you assess the credibility of content found online. Share a link or paste text, and the AI the app uses will analyse the material and present observations about its credibility.
No. SiftMate works without registration, login, or any personal data.
Currently Polish, English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. The app automatically matches the language to your phone's settings.
Initial observations may be partially generated without an internet connection, but a full analysis requires a network connection.
Analysis & results
No — and that's important. SiftMate's results are observations and an opinion generated by artificial intelligence. AI is not infallible — it can make mistakes, lack access to all information, or present outdated data. Treat the results as an aid to your own assessment, not as a final verdict.

After the initial observations, which you see first, you can request a deeper analysis. The AI analyses the content in detail, searches for related sources, and presents a credibility assessment with reasoning.
The AI needs time to analyse the content, compare it with other sources, and prepare a detailed report. This usually takes between a few and around ten seconds.
You can check articles, posts, messages, and other text content from the internet. The app works best with news and opinion content. We do not analyse images or videos.
Payments
Initial observations are always free. After installing the app, you receive a free pool of full verifications. Once depleted, a full verification of a specific article, post, or text may require a one-time fee. You will see the price before deciding to purchase.
If a full analysis was not generated due to a technical error — yes, you are entitled to a refund. If the analysis was delivered — a refund is not available, as the service was performed. Refunds are processed by Google Play or Apple App Store. Contact us if you have an issue.
