## Overview

Trust Me Bro is a claim-checking web app and Chrome extension that takes a single claim and searches published research for evidence for and against it. Each check produces a public "receipt": a verdict label such as Supported, Refuted or Contested, the sources on each side with quoted excerpts, a short written analysis, and a statement of the check's limits. Citations can be copied in APA, MLA, Chicago, BibTeX or RIS, and separate tools check a quote word for word and look up whether a paper has been retracted.

## FAQ

**What is a receipt?**

A receipt is the recorded outcome of a claim check: the verdict, the sources and excerpts on each side, and the limits of the check. The site says it does not guarantee a settled answer or that every cited source supports the claim.

**Is Trust Me Bro free?**

There is a free plan with 5 checks a month, receipt links included, and no card needed. Bro costs $9.99 a month for 400 checks and Pro costs $29.99 a month for 1,000 checks.

**Who makes the verdicts?**

Software does. The About page says no other person reviews receipts, and that receipts the system flags are held for the founder to review before publishing.

**Do I need an account?**

An account (email and password, 13 or older) is needed to challenge receipts, use the API and subscribe. The signup page is open.

**Are my claims private?**

No. Claims can appear in public receipts or the public feed, including ones sent through the API, so the site advises against submitting personal or confidential information.

**How accurate is it?**

The accuracy page shows a historical report on 20 cases from July 2026 and states that it does not establish the accuracy of the current release. Check the receipt's sources yourself.

**Is there an API?**

Yes. Bro includes 100 API calls a month and Pro 1,000. Beyond that, calls use a prepaid wallet at $0.003 or $0.01 per claim.
