- Overall, we rate Factually as Least Biased due to its balanced sourcing strategy and neutral presentation. It is rated Mostly Factual because, despite good sourcing, its reliance on AI introduces the potential for error. The platform is fully transparent and demonstrates good methodological intent, but its automated nature warrants caution regarding factual precision.

History
Factually is an independent fact-checking tool created in November 2024 by a single developer. According to its About page, the project aims to help users research claims by extracting statements with AI, searching the web, and summarizing information with linked citations. The platform stresses that it does not tell readers what to think, instead focusing on providing contextual information across a variety of sources.
Location: Unknown
Funded by / Ownership
Factually is owned entirely by one independent developer and operates without corporate backing. It is funded solely through voluntary user support, available through its donation page at the “Support Us” section of the site. The platform has no advertisers, sponsors, or institutional affiliations.
Analysis / Bias
Factually presents itself as nonpartisan and its AI-driven method intentionally pulls from a range of ideological sources. Blog content like the article addressing viral rumors in “Obama’s alleged treason, ICE and the case of Luis Leon, Starmer’s travel rumors, Ozzy Osbourne’s death, and Brigitte Macron conspiracies” shows coverage of misinformation affecting both left- and right-leaning narratives.
Its fact checks, including “Did Donald Trump have an affair with Bill Clinton?” and “Why was the Katie Johnson case against Trump dismissed?”, cite mainstream outlets such as Reuters, NBC, and The Guardian, while maintaining a neutral tone. However, because conclusions are generated entirely by AI, the platform’s accuracy depends on proper model interpretation, and Factually acknowledges this risk with disclaimers on every fact check.
Failed Fact Checks

The platform is fully transparent and demonstrates good methodological intent, but its automated nature warrants caution regarding factual precision. (D. Van Zandt 11/20/2025)
