Common questions

Lenstrum's accuracy is validated against third-party benchmarks for political content. We're upfront that this is an ongoing process — full methodology details are on our Methodology page for anyone who wants to dig in.

News articles, YouTube and TikTok videos, and posts from X and Instagram. Facebook links aren't supported directly — paste the text instead.

Lenstrum is actively expanding platform coverage and analysis depth — see our Roadmap page for what's shipped and what's in progress.

Free gives you 3 analyses a day with the full breakdown — framing, AI involvement, and source context — no account needed, and a free account also saves a history of your 50 most recent analyses. Pro removes the daily cap and adds deeper framing, AI-involvement and source-context analysis, more related coverage, Your Lens (your own media-diet breakdown), and extras like a branded social card and Citation PDF export, for $5/month (or $4/month billed annually).

We collect only what's needed to run your account and analyses — your email, and the URLs or text you submit for analysis. That content is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate your results, and we don't sell your personal information to anyone. You can delete your account and data at any time from your account settings.
