Deepware Scanner and AuthentiLens both detect deepfake video. They occupy different rungs of the consumer scam-defense ladder.
Deepware Scanner is a free, single-purpose tool from Zemana. You upload a suspicious video file or paste a URL and it returns a deepfake-likelihood score. It is one of the longest-running free deepfake scanners and a sensible starting point for a one-off check.
AuthentiLens is a multi-modal consumer scam-defense tool. It detects AI-generated content across text, images, audio, video, social profiles, and websites, and it flags scam patterns and impersonation tactics that surround the video itself.
If you have one suspicious video file and you want a free quick check, Deepware is the right tool. If you need ongoing scam defense across every channel a stranger can reach you on, AuthentiLens is the right tool.

When to choose AuthentiLens
- You want ongoing scam defense across messages, profiles, calls, and videos
- The video came with a suspicious message, profile, or pressure tactic you also want analyzed
- You want a single tool that covers every channel a stranger can reach you on
- You want a tool a non-technical relative can run themselves
When to choose Deepware Scanner
- You have one specific video file you want to check, for free, right now
- You don't need scam-pattern detection or coverage of other media types
- You want a no-account, no-subscription tool for an occasional deepfake check
Can you use both?
Yes, and we recommend it for high-stakes videos. Run the file through Deepware for a free second opinion. Use AuthentiLens to analyze the surrounding context, the message it came with, the profile that sent it, the website it links to. If both tools flag the video and AuthentiLens flags the context, treat it as confirmed.
