Tryna stitch me up

As a high school English teacher, Revision History has become an essential part of my teacher toolbox. It's a simple, clean, and effective tool for helping teachers better understand students' composition processes

Love the clarity of information provided. Seeing specific patterns highlighted really helps me communicate with students and parents. In general, being able to see the genesis/"life cycle" of a document is also fantastic!

Helpful as a teacher to see exactly how long and when students worked on documents, the playback feature to watch their writing process is especially helpful! I wish it could work with other google apps, but it's very helpful for google docs!

J'ai carrément copié collé un article complet pour ensuite le scanner. L'extension me dit qu'il n'y a aucun copié collé identifié. J'ai répété l'exercice à plusieurs reprises avec plusieurs textes différents, sans succès. Je ne peux malheureusement pas me fier à cet outil pour tenter de détecter du plagiat.

Great way to review written work. Very quick and saves time reviewing lots of history.

On behalf on The Cubenstein Investment Group, I’m willing to throw a solid $500 at this pathetic, half-baked, midget-sized Chrome extension, because apparently that’s the level of investment it needs to stop being a complete joke. You can’t even get the basic functionality right, and yet here we are. How is it that something so simple is constantly broken or underperforming? I’ve wasted enough time with this nonsense.If you even want a chance at seeing more of my money, I expect 90% of the company’s equity and full creative control, in which I will utilize to change to name from "revision history to "TruzzMech History". I’ve entrusted my low-level assistant, Naniel Dewman, to send the papers over, so make it quick. I’m currently in debt from my Investment venture in Floppy Fish Industries, and I can’t afford to waste more time on this. The bar’s set lower than I thought possible, and somehow, you’ve still managed to trip over it."

Revision History has been critical for our school in the age of AI. Detecting authentic work requires critical thinking and investigation of the writing process. With ongoing concerns about the reliability of AI checkers, teachers need tools to help them quickly authenticate student writing. Revision History's analysis is invaluable—it highlights large text pastes, provides a replay of the student's writing process, and tracks editing time. This tool facilitates important conversations with students about their writing process, and often, when shown these results, students quickly acknowledge when their work falls outside assignment parameters.

10 year educator here- this is the one. Perfect balance of ease of use and integration. I find it to be the quickest, simplest way to do a quick check for editing history, look at writing time, and then investigate further as needed. These types of tools are best when they are easy to use, don't involve too much clicking, and can let me go back to actually doing real teaching. Nobody becomes a teacher to be a plagiarism detector- so this helps me quickly detect irregularities and move on with my life, and go back to actually writing curriculum and giving feedback to real work.

Very helpful in both checking work and establishing transparency and trust with students.

Still reads "You've analyzed 1 out of 25 free documents this month" even though you claimed to have changed the policy to over 150 docs per month. Also, as an English teacher, I easily read 150 docs every few days (think: homework). If you have as many people as you claim who are interested in your product, something like .99 cents per month would still net you a pretty profit. My wife (another teacher) and I are deleting the extension immediately.

My students submit their graded assessments (homework, essays, tests) via Google Docs. This tool is a great way to quickly help me check the timeline of their submissions, deadlines met, the source of their content, and whether they are making constructive use of my comments. I hope the payment options will be tailored to academic calendars - I don't need it in the summer - and be reasonably priced.

It is disappointing that there is now a pay wall because this was my favorite extension. $5 a month is too expensive for public service employees to pay & many districts cannot afford to buy it. Any opened Google document will count towards the limit -- even if you aren't actively using the extension. Can there please be a way to turn the extension off quickly (to toggle between in use/ not in use) so that not every Google Doc counts towards the limit? I easily open over 150 Google Docs a day, many of which are not from students.

What teacher only grades 25 papers a month? No communication about changes and won't post a fee structure, must email to get information, no thanks. Deleting extension and looking elsewhere, my school can't afford any more subscriptions.

love

This WAS a game-changer when it came to ensuring academic honesty from my students. Now, it's a paid subscription after 25 documents a month. What teacher only needs to check 25 documents a month? Deleting, guess I'll try Brisk.

This extension has changed the way I think about AI detection and the writing process. As a high school English teacher who is having to think carefully about redefining cheating, reworking assignments, and reprioritizing skills, this extension is a MUST HAVE. It helps me have writing conferences with writers of all abilities regarding their writing time and process, and it helps me to flag issues with deletions and copying and pasting. Can't wait for this extension to extend to Google Slides and Spreadsheets! One of the most-used teacher tools in my wheelhouse of ed tech.

The price for this product is incredible considering the hours that it saves me. I would have liked some notice about the price changes, and also for them to have fully prepared everything before launch, but mistakes happen. Hopefully they're customer service will continue to be good.

Starting to charge all of a sudden is bad enough, but requiring a log-on for the free version is inexcusable. If I don't want to give you money, I probably also don't want to create an account.

5 stars for the app. I LOVE this app. I HATE paying for it. My district will never reimburse or pay for it for the district (instead of paying for platforms that are useless to most teachers). That said, the butt-ache I save in arguing with students, parents, and admin when students cheat is well worth the price per year for me. I still shouldn't have to pay, but that's on the district--not the developers. As teachers, most of us believe that people SHOULD be paid for their skills and expertise.

I love this product, and while it sucks that all of a sudden it's limited, the price per year is not at all unreasonable. Plus, it appears that there are more features in the upgraded version. Having to pay for a good product is not a big deal.

Love the update! Such a useful product.

Hi! First, love your product. Second, understand the need to monetize and appeciate the increase to 150 per month. Two thoughts worth considering: 1). I move in and out of kids docs during a class period. The counter seems to be adding a new review each time it loads in my Canvas doc viewer. I am going to get to 150 super fast if this is the case. 2). School districts are notoriously slow for reviewing and purchasing products -- especially at the end of the school year. I have spread the word about your fantastic product and several of my teachers are bringing it to our district's AI communication meeting next week, but I am hoping your graciousness might extend a little bit further in the future since the decision making is glacial. EDIT: Actually three things -- it runs on every doc I open, including the ones that I don't need to check (staff memos, etc.) Is there a way to select which docs it reviews?

This tool is one of the simplest and easiest tools I've found for helping me know more about my students' composition process. Because RH quickly organizes the data in a little bar across the top of each document, I can quickly check issues that might crop up across an entire class, have a sense of how long students spent on their writing process, and dive deeper to see a fuller picture of student writing process and insertions anytime I want. I think it's ridiculous that the most recent reviews are downvoting this app to one star simply because they removed unlimited use and offered a subscription service. Yes, it was amazing that they did the work for free, but it sounds like there is some processing work that has to be done on actual servers for the app to work for everyone, and frankly, that doesn't come without a cost. Yes, the roll out of the paywall was not good - they should have rolled it out with notice rather than in the middle of spring semester, they should have warned people instead of just rolling out a log in, etc. - but that does not diminish the value of what the app does.

This was so helpful and now its a paid description. This kills my districts use. I was only here to help students. Really bad decision.

An excellent resource that has been ruined by a paid subscription. If you only want to use your plugin only 25 times a month, then this is for you. If you need to use it more often (like 95% of users), then you're out of luck.

I can't praise this tool enough. Thank you for helping teachers get a handle on student submissions, and where they may be using AI-generated content.

I relied on this tool to ensure that my students are presenting authentic work. I, like many educators, am so disappointed to see a 25 document limit on this chrome extension. If this is "built for teachers", who are historically underpaid and overworked, why would developers think that limiting access behind a paywall would be a good move? To also roll this out WITHOUT warning is disingenuous. It's disappointing to see an educator-based chrome extension locked away after years of use. Extremely disappointed. Please send recommendations for other extensions that function in a similar way.

This is an excellent extension for monitoring documents for plagiarism. However, it is now behind a paywall, which they rolled out without warning in MARCH. This is the time of year for lazy students and essay writing. I am so disappointed in the team that decided that this was a good idea to strongarm teachers into paying for a service that we have come to depend on. Disgusted by the management. It has ruined this product for me.

I love this extension; however, I'm a bit nervous that it needs full access to my google account. Is there any way it could just be attached to google classroom?

I was using the free version to much success in my classroom. I logged in today to find that I have to make an account, and now there's a subscription model. This is ridiculous. No thanks. I'll have to look for another service to find out if my students are cheating on their assignments.

I loved this extension and recommended it to my entire department. I am very disappointed that it is no longer free and that they are charging a very high price. Thirty-two dollars a year or $4.49 a month is a lot to ask a teacher to pay for a Chrome Extension, no matter how useful it may be. Instead of asking a more reasonable price to support development, they appear to be trying to capitalize on their large user base (the Chrome Store currently indicates 100,000 users). The free version now offers 25 documents a month, which is completely inadequate. That would barely be enough to check one assignment for one of my six classes, once per month.

Hi! I really like this extension. As other teachers have written, it's the best at finding out whether my students authentically wrote their assignments or if they copied and pasted from the internet (or AI). I'd like to buy a subscription, but I'm a little wary because the payment site kind of doesn't look legit. I definitely think it's worth the subscription, since I use it every day, I just don't want to get my info hacked or my card stolen.

This is the best app out there for teachers to assess student process! I've tried Brisk and Draftback, and this one is miles above both of those. It has much of the information you need in a banner at the top of the Google doc, and you can even watch a video of the entire writing process--word by word--in real time, if you like. In my effort to both assess student process to better identify composition skills and catch the use of AI (which is wildly out of control these days), it has been a much-needed savior. Yes, they've changed their model from completely free to two tiers--the first 25 Google docs per month are free, but if you want to view more, you need to pay for their premium subscription. However, that price is well worth it.

Great extension! Fair pricing too given how much I'll be using it and how helpful it is.

After investing revision history, The Couwen Brothers (dangerous kingpins) , unsurprisingly, did not take kindly to my investigation. Almost immediately after I published my initial findings, I became the target of an aggressive intimidation campaign designed to shut me up for good. At first, they employed classic scare tactics—anonymous threats flooding my inbox, my devices suddenly glitching as if someone was remotely tampering with them, and a blacked-out SUV loitering suspiciously near my residence. But when these subtle warnings failed to deter me, they escalated their efforts. Enter Mazda Murt, a notoriously corrupt cop with a price tag as high as his ego. Known for burying evidence and strong-arming whistleblowers into silence, Murt has been on the Couwen Brothers’ payroll for years, acting as their personal enforcer within the so-called justice system. Reports of break-ins at my office were conveniently dismissed as “random burglaries,” and when I tried to file a formal complaint, Murt himself intercepted it, smirking as he “misplaced” the paperwork. The bribes and dirty work are often handled through Truzz, the Couwen Brothers’ go-to middleman, who ensures the money keeps flowing and threats are delivered with precision. Murt’s incompetence, however, is just as notorious as his corruption—his most infamous blunder being the time he crashed a Toyota Corolla straight into a police barricade during a botched stakeout. Of course, the official report blamed “mechanical failure,” but everyone knows Murt was more focused on counting his latest payout than actually keeping his hands on the wheel.

The Chrome Extension "Revision History" is far more than just a simple tool—it's a ticking time bomb of cybersecurity risks, secretly controlled by the dangerous crime kingpins, the Couwen Brothers. Even more unsettling is the involvement of Truzz, the shadowy figure rumored to be orchestrating this entire operation from behind the scenes. With so many unanswered questions, one thing is certain—anyone using "Revision History" is unknowingly stepping into dangerous territory, and it might be too late to turn back.

This is such a helpful tool!

This is so useful, a prime tool for educators to make sure students are DOING THE LEARNING!! (and even just collaborators who want to have control and visibility of what their peers have done). I don't hate the paid tier either, prices are quite reasonable - and I'm also getting the school to do the paying XD! (I suggest any other teachers do this)

Was free, now has a limit of 25. Not worth it anymore. Too bad, was a useful tool for awhile. On to the next free one.

I absolutely love this extension. As a high school English teacher, it has been so dispiriting to see so much AI generated or plain old plagiarized content. I love the band across the top of the document -- it tells a great story. And the video playback shuts the cheaters right up lol!!!! Thank you!

You keep saying y'all never imagined so many teachers would use y'all product.. guess you can stop imagining it. Your losses will be immense. The argument that people need to pay so you can "ensure developments and improvements" is a weak one. Were you not going to develop and improve before you gained an increase in users? 25 checks per month with over 100 students will never work, but you know that. Everything is a money grab these days. Really sucks because this was an awesome resource!

My self and other teachers moved to this extension after draftback started charging. We all stopped using draftback and came to Revision History after Draftback started to charge Teachers. Your increase in users is due to the fact your extension was free to use as teachers are looking for as many tools to use that are free that they do not have to pay for. Now your app is not learning from history and are making the same mistake as draftback. Unfortunately I will no longer use the extension and encourage others to do the same. Your extension did what I needed it to but unfortunately 25 checks a month does not cut it when you have 180 students.

Was an amazing add-on, especially with student use of AI and plagiarism at its height. However, I'm disappointed to learn that now there is a 25/month document limit and you have to pay to use it after that. With over 100+ students in one teacher's course load, this isn't feasible for even one assignment. I can foresee many educators not choosing this now due to the paid feature and its limitations. :(

Super helpful - using it to understand whether work from my copywriting team uses AI. Love it.

It's all about the money. This used to be a free tool. Now you have to create an account and log in to use it. You can use it on 25 documents per month for free. Anything more than that, and you have to pay. I honestly would have tipped the creators occasionally if they gave the option, but I am disappointed that they just thrust the payment model on us with no warning. I can only imagine they're going to steadily increase the pricing. Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile. No thanks! It was good while it lasted, and I sincerely thank the developers for that. However, I will be removing this extension and using other options.

This tool is super helpful. Thank you for building this!

Until March 14th, this was a five star add-on. It was a powerful, purposeful, and unobtrusive extension that let me see more of the students' writing process. Now, I need an account, and permissions for datamining. I'm sure the next step will be monetizing enhanced features, or selling student data. Too bad.

This toolbar has helped so much! Love that students do not need to log in and it shows up in any doc no matter the platform (I have students submit to both Google Classroom and Canvas). I would love to see this work on Google Slides and Sheets as well!

Excellent recent updates!
