    Turnitin is one of the main ones used by colleges. Some college even let the students access it before the final submission date to allow them to see for themselves what % of plagurism is being detected. Maybe look into turn it in and see if you can get an individual subscription to it?

    They cannot detect custom-written papers that certain websites offer. I personally refused to submit my assignments through 'Turn It In' and explained to my Lecturers that I didn't want my name in a U.S database due to privacy concerns. 'Turn It In' is alleged to have some affiliation with the U.S government. My Lecturers fully understood my concern so I simply emailed it to them and requested that if they still wanted to check it, to kindly remove my name and other personal details before running it through any plagiarism detection software.
