PayForEssay Review

PayForEssay Overview

In this PayForEssay review, we’re going to discuss the nitty-gritty details about this essay writing service that promises “you could enjoy your student life”.

Checking the company’s background and history, we’ve found out that PayForEssay has already spent 12 years in business (which is true), with no signs of slowing down in terms of expanding their reach to students all over the globe. The website, PayForEssay.net, is now managed and operated by one BrainUp Limited, UK but formerly was under WritePerfect LTD, a well-known multimedia solutions company that’s associated with sites like GradeMiners, which also offer custom writing services.

PayForEssay has the usual offerings a student may need from a custom writing service, namely essay, research paper, coursework, dissertation/thesis writing, etc. But what exactly gives them a competitive edge compared to dozens of other writing companies out there? Are they affordable and safe to use? What are the perks and benefits of using hiring them? Read on to find out.

Types of Services

Compared to other popular websites, Pay For Essay has a more limited range of writing services on offer. This is probably a good thing, as they can focus more on writing options that are more in-demand among students.

PayForEssay’s writers can cater to different types of work, which are as follows:

They cover over 25 disciplines, such as:

Besides writing from scratch, PayForEssay also offers editing, formatting, proofreading, and rewriting services. On one hand, since the company only offers the more popular paper types, students who may need a paper written for a less common topic or discipline may have to look elsewhere.

Pricing Policy and Discounts

Sadly, PayForEssay’s website doesn’t have a dedicated pricing page. However, there’s a handy price calculator that’s conveniently placed in several areas, including the homepage. Using the calculator, you’ll notice that there’s a whole bunch of different pricing options depending on the type of paper you need, as well as the deadline and academic level.

PayForEssay has gathered all the possible price combinations, but we would’ve appreciated a fixed pricing table to get a clear picture of their pricing. With that said, if you want to get a clear estimate of your order, you must first go to their order form.

The price of their papers depend on several factors, such as:

• Type of Work
• Academic Level (High School, College, Undergraduate, Master, Ph.D.)
• Number of Pages
• Spacing
• Urgency
• Writer’s Level (Best Available, Top Writer, Premium Writer)

The standard rates per page (275 words) are as follows:

• High School: $9.82
• College: $11.93/page
• Undergraduate: $14.38
• Master: $18.94
• Ph.D.: $21.22

PayForEssay doesn’t charge extra, except when you set a tight deadline. The longest available deadline they have is 30 days, while the shortest is one hour. However, the sooner you need the paper, the more expensive it gets. For instance, if you need a single-page college-level essay with a 2-day deadline, you will have to pay approximately $19.

Unlike so many companies that resort to creating multiple website for different purposes, PayForEssay focuses solely on improving the quality of their services. For premium service, they offer standard yet cheaper rates compared to the likes of GradeMiners. In fact, PayForEssay is $5 more affordable than most.

Still, the fact remains that PayForEssay doesn’t charge cheap for quality service, which is why customers should take advantage of discounts and promo codes to go with their orders.

At the time of writing, they offer a discount for first-time customers. Simply use the PayForEssay.net promo code "first15" to save 15% on your initial order with them. They could use more promo codes to offer to their customers but for now, that’s the only discount available.

Quality Levels

PayForEssay claims to employ only ENL writers, but according to some customer reviews, we have reason to believe that the company also hires non-native ESL writers, as opposed to their claim.

From the order form, customers are given the option to select the most suitable writer to work on their project.

• Best Available. No extra charge. May be an ENL or ESL writer who’s currently available to work on your paper.
• Top Writer. Pay an extra $4.96/page or more, depending on the urgency, academic level, and type of paper you need. These are PayForEssay’s top 30 writers who are well-versed in your chosen discipline.
• Premium Writer. Pay an extra $9.93/page or more, depending on the urgency and academic levels, and type of paper. This is comprised of the top 10, highly demanded writers with the highest rating among clients.

The prices are still within a reasonable range. However, they don’t give returning customers the option to re-hire a writer they’ve previously worked with, which could save them from the hassle of waiting for a new writer to be assigned to their order.

Guarantees

Money-Back Policy

It’s a rare case for PayForEssay, but in case a customer experiences some issues or is not satisfied with the final draft of their paper, the company has a money-back guarantee in place. They offer a 14-day refund period for orders less than 20 pages, while a lengthier 30-day refund period is provided for orders over 20 pages. However, the refund period can be extended up to 180 days in exceptional cases (i.e. plagiarism is confirmed).

To be eligible for a refund, you must meet any of the following conditions:

• 100% refund if the writer fails to complete your order on the designated deadline or when the paper is not delivered in its complete form to you.
• Partial refund if there are transaction errors or some irrelevance to your initial instructions. PayForEssay’s Quality Assurance Department will evaluate the quality of your paper and will refund an amount comparable to the percentage of mistakes present.
• Compensation for delayed orders due to unexpected circumstances, usually in the form of credit or discount that can be used towards the customer’s next order.

Revision Policy

The company encourages its customers to provide detailed instructions during the order process, and they can add more as they communicate with their writer. In case of any discrepancies, however, customers are entitled to request as many revisions as needed.

Much like their money-back policy, PayForEssay offers the same window periods for their revisions (14 days for orders less than 20 pages; 30 days for order 20 pages and above). Take note, however, that all revisions must be based on your original order instructions. Any additional or differing instruction will be considered an application for a new order and will therefore require additional payment.

Confidentiality Policy

Unlike other companies, PayForEssays aims to lay it all out with their terms and policies. With their privacy policy, customers are assured that all their personal data are secured and protected.

From their website, PayForEssay has provided a list of personal data that they may collect from their clients:

• Contact information (email address and phone number)
• Birthday (for special discount offers)
• IP address, login information, browser type and version, timezone, OS and version, geolocation information
• Data on how you use the website (pages you’ve viewed, response times, how long you stay on pages, clicks, etc.)

While collecting sensitive data like your IP address and web activity sounds a bit alarming, PayForEssay assures that these information will not be shared to any third-party provider, unless the client has consented with PayForEssay to do so. Additionally, data storage is in secured premises within the European Economic Area (EEA), assuring clients that any data transfer performed is protected to a level that meets the strict requirements of European law.

Online Reputation

Third-Party Website Customer Reviews

Is PayForEssay.net legit? Yes. The company is transparent about their services, from the pricing all the way to their privacy policy. They also guarantee zero plagiarism, where every order is double-checked for plagiarism and grammatical mistakes on completion.

From their website, Pay For Essay claims to have an approval rating of 4.9 over 5 stars, but to find out what customers really think about this series, you must look beyond their website and check for customer feedback in independent review platforms.

We’ve found plenty of PayForEssay.net reviews on sites like SiteJabber and TrustPilot and, true to their claim, they have generally positive reviews from verified customers, with an average rating of 4.4 over 5 stars. According to on PayForEssay review, the company lives up to their promise of delivering high-quality educational papers for students of all academic levels.

There have been no reports of plagiarism, but some customers on have complained about "false referencing", and that their assigned writer failed to follow instructions. At the time of writing, PayForEssay is yet to respond to this complaint.

Fake Reviews from Competitors

We’ve closely followed PayForEssay and how they’ve improved their services over the years. Needless to say, it wasn’t all cakes and bubbles for this company, but they do listen to their customers and make changes and improvements to their pricing and service quality, based on customer feedback.

But as we delved deeper, we noticed that Google is plagued with fake reviews about PayForEssay. Some so-called “review blogs” are deliberately spreading negative reviews based on false and baseless pretenses. Some of these fakes include:

• https://awriter.org/payforessay-net-review/
• https://essaysonline.org/payforessay-review/
• https://papersformoney.com/payforessay-review/
• https://www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/payforessay/
• https://essayreviewexpert.com/review/payforessay/
• https://bestbritishessays.com/payforessay-net-review/

But there are so much more. In fact, more and more of these fake review sites keep popping up like mushrooms.

Don’t get fooled by this smear campaign! These sites are owned by competitors who create multiple websites as part of their marketing tactic to promote their own products and services, while badmouthing rival companies.

Fake Positive Reviews

Likewise, you shouldn’t trust review blogs that promote websites by BrainUp Limited (like GradeMiners, MasterPapers, EduCibly, SameDayEssay, PaperNow, EssayWriter), because they might be directly affiliated with the company or are owned by the BrainUp Limited itself. Some of these dubious websites include:

• https://topstudywriter.com/pay-for-essay-review
• https://rankmywriter.com/payforessay-net-review

This is all up to interpretation, but there’s almost zero info about PayForEssay on Reddit. No news could be good news, right?

Our Verdict

Summing up our PayForEssay review, we can confidently say that this writing service company is not the worst one out there, offering students with high-quality, plagiarism-free papers at incredibly competitive prices. Some customers may be put off by the lack of a loyalty program and non-native writers, but you can expect value for money.

The company’s online reputation gives an accurate picture of the level of quality they deliver, so expect them to meet your expectations. Overall, they’re not a bad company and deserves to be in your shortlist of reliable essay writing services. However, there’s still room for improvement, so we recommend them with reservations.
