Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how FakeFind's Amazon review checker works.

What is FakeFind?

FakeFind is a free, AI-powered Amazon review checker built by Andrew Kane after Fakespot shut down in July 2025. Paste any Amazon product URL to receive a Trust Score (1–10), an Adjusted Rating, and a plain-English authenticity summary — all in under a minute, no account required.

Is FakeFind really free?

Yes. FakeFind is 100% free with no account required, no usage limits, and no premium tiers. You can run unlimited product scans at no cost. FakeFind earns revenue through Amazon affiliate links displayed alongside scan results — you pay nothing.

What is the Trust Score?

The Trust Score (1–10) reflects how credible a product's Amazon reviews appear based on FakeFind's analysis. A score of 8–10 indicates mostly authentic reviews. A score of 5–7 suggests some suspicious signals but not conclusive manipulation. Below 5 means significant manipulation patterns were detected and you should view the star rating with skepticism.

What is the Adjusted Rating?

The Adjusted Rating is a recalculated star average that discounts reviews our AI identifies as suspicious, fake, or AI-generated — giving you a cleaner estimate of what genuine customers actually think. It's similar to what ReviewMeta offered before going offline in early 2026.

How does FakeFind detect fake Amazon reviews?

FakeFind's AI examines reviews across four dimensions: Language (repetitive phrasing, generic sentiment, and statistical patterns associated with AI-generated text), Timing (sudden spikes in review volume that indicate coordinated campaigns), Behavior (reviewer account patterns, posting frequency, and anomalies in verified purchase data), and Content (off-topic reviews, mismatched product praise, and signs of review hijacking).

Can FakeFind detect AI-generated reviews?

Yes. FakeFind uses NLP models trained specifically on AI-generated review patterns — including text generated by GPT-4 and similar models. AI-generated reviews tend to be polished but generic, lacking the friction, specificity, and occasional negativity of genuine customer feedback. FakeFind flags these patterns. No tool catches 100% of AI fakes, but FakeFind catches high-confidence cases.

Is FakeFind a Fakespot alternative?

Yes. Fakespot was shut down by Mozilla on July 1, 2025. FakeFind was built to replace it — it's free, requires no account, and provides more detailed output (written summary + Trust Score + Adjusted Rating) than Fakespot's simple letter grades. ReviewMeta also went offline in early 2026; FakeFind's Adjusted Rating serves the same function ReviewMeta's did.

Does FakeFind store my searches or personal data?

FakeFind doesn't require an account and collects no personal information. Scan results (Trust Score, Adjusted Rating, summary) are stored to power shareable result URLs and avoid redundant analysis. We do not sell or share this data. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

How accurate is FakeFind's analysis?

FakeFind provides probabilistic signals, not definitive verdicts. It's designed to surface manipulation risk that's invisible to manual review reading. Use it as one input alongside product specs, seller reputation, and the written review content itself — especially for high-value purchases.

Is there a Chrome extension?

Yes — FakeFind has an optional Chrome extension that lets you analyze Amazon reviews without leaving the product page. The web tool at fakefind.ai also works on any browser with no install required.
