Slop or Not vs Hive Moderation: AI Image Detector (2026)
Hive Moderation earns its enterprise price tag the moment you're moderating thousands of uploads a day across image, video, text, and audio. Slop or Not was never built for that job. For one photo on one phone, Slop or Not answers it on-device, free, with no payment method required just to see a result.
Hive Moderation runs AI-generated and deepfake detection for image, video, text, and audio behind APIs built for trust-and-safety pipelines. That's more ground than Slop or Not tries to cover. Free access requires adding a payment method before credits unlock. Slop or Not skips the pipeline entirely: open the iPhone or Mac app, check one photo. No account. No card on file.

Where your text & images go
With Hive Moderation, the public privacy policy covers account, billing, and analytics data; it does not specifically describe how content submitted to its detection APIs is collected or retained. See the Hive AI privacy policy for details. Slop or Not keeps native checks on your iPhone or Mac, and online checks run on Numen's own Apple hardware and are deleted after processing.
Where Slop or Not Fits
Hive wants a payment method on file before the free credits unlock. Slop or Not wants nothing: check the photo on iPhone or Mac and get an answer.
- Slop or Not runs its own detection models, so no third-party AI provider sees your text or images. Native checks run on the Apple Neural Engine; online checks run on Numen's self-hosted Apple hardware, and submissions are deleted after processing.
- Free daily checks in the iPhone and Mac app and in the free online checker. Pro removes the daily cap, and native checks have no per-document word cap.

Common Questions
Does Hive Moderation cover more than Slop or Not?
Yes. Hive's APIs extend to video and audio moderation on top of image and text detection. Slop or Not checks text and still images only; it doesn't detect audio or video.
Can I try Hive Moderation for free without a credit card?
No. The free credits require adding a payment method first. Slop or Not needs no card and no account: the iPhone and Mac app gives free daily checks, and the online checker is free in any browser.
Is Slop or Not built for a moderation pipeline like Hive is?
No. Hive is built for platforms routing high volumes of user uploads through an API. Slop or Not is a personal app for one person checking one file at a time.

More From Numen
AI can now fake a profile photo or wrap a scam in a link that looks safe to tap. Numen builds the apps that put you back in charge: spot AI-generated text and images with Slop or Not, run the best open-source models uncensored and private with Private LLM, and strip trackers from links and QR codes before they follow you with Clean Links.
One belief runs through all three: your data belongs to you, and no one else.
