Turnitin alternatives

Hi All,

We just received word that in 2011, Turnitin.com will no longer be
sold as a stand alone plagiarism service. They are bundling it with
grading tools, which is not what we need. First of all, the bundle is
substantially more expensive than the stand alone service. Secondly,
I am concerned that our teachers and students would become confused
with multiple places to post grades - their service and our official
gradebook.

Has anyone used an alternative plagiarism detection/prevention
service? I am interested in finding an alternative, but my Google
searches all seem to lead back to turnitin.

Thanks,

Catherine
