- Consumer mobile app where a user pastes a video link or uploads a file for a structured, multi-layered analysis that reports likelihood of manipulation, transcript-level spoken-content analysis, and markers of deceptive intent (fraud, impersonation, credential theft) rather than a bare authenticity score.

- A standalone deepfake-detection consumer app from cybersecurity vendor Bitdefender, available across 14 countries, aimed at everyday consumers checking whether a video circulating online (for example, on social media) is a malicious deepfake.
- distinctFrom
- Unlike enterprise-focused forensic detectors aimed at platforms or governments (Reality Defender, Sensity AI, GetReal Security) or Slop Or Not's on-device iOS/Mac app (which covers text and images but not video), RealCheck is a mainstream consumer security-vendor app specifically for checking video links or files for deceptive-intent deepfakes, backed by an established antivirus brand's existing consumer install base.
