Choosing a humanizer for Pangram
The humanizer ranking above sorts by average Pangram score alone. Pangram does not give one verdict for a whole text: it labels each passage as human-written, AI-assisted, or AI-generated. The score here is the share of the text Pangram labelled human-written, so a passage it calls AI-assisted counts against the tool just as an AI-generated one does. A rewrite that only softens AI text into "AI-assisted" does not score well on this page. The methodology explains how each detector's result is turned into a score.
Pangram's current model, Pangram 4, was released in July 2026. It labels mixed and AI-assisted writing more finely than earlier versions and adds a check aimed at text rewritten to avoid detection, which is what humanizers do. Detectors change over time, so note which cycle you are reading and look at each tool's history on its results page.
A high Pangram score is not the whole picture. Check the Overall column in the ranking, and the Meaning and Readability columns on the leaderboard, before you choose, then try the tool on a paragraph of your own writing and read the output for changed facts and lost citations.
Questions about Pangram
Is Pangram accurate?
On humanized AI text, Pangram caught 348 of 420 outputs in October 2026 (82.9%), the highest catch rate of the six detectors we test. We only test AI-written passages after a humanizer rewrites them, so we cannot say how often Pangram flags human writing by mistake.
Can Pangram be bypassed?
In October 2026, 72 of the 420 humanized outputs (17.1%) passed Pangram as human-written. It depended on the tool: the 14 humanizers passed it on between 0% and 87% of their outputs.
