Programming plagiarism checker FAQ

What is a programming plagiarism checker?

A programming plagiarism checker analyzes source code, rather than prose, to find copied, shared, or AI-generated code. Codequiry compares each submission to your peer group and to web sources including GitHub and Stack Overflow, understands code structure in 65+ programming languages, and returns weighted similarity scores with side-by-side evidence.

Which programming languages does the code plagiarism checker support?

Codequiry supports 65+ programming languages including Python, Java, C++, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Swift, and Kotlin, with no per-language configuration. It detects similarity even after variable renaming, reordering, and comment changes.

Can this programming plagiarism checker detect AI-generated code?

Yes. Alongside peer and web plagiarism detection, Codequiry includes a built-in AI code detector that flags code generated by ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Gemini, so a single report covers both copied and AI-written code.

Is there a free way to check code for plagiarism?

You can create a Codequiry account and run your first source code plagiarism check for free. Paid plans add MOSS, JPlag, Dolos, larger web-source coverage, API and CLI access, and higher submission volumes for courses and engineering teams.
