PayforEssay.net 1/5

PayforEssay.net states that it has been in business for 10 or 12 years, depending upon the website page one reads. Whichever is the case, there is a lot of information about the company and its services, not just on its website, but on review sites and social media. We gathered information from the site content, from testimonials, from customer reviews found on the web, and from our personal experience in ordering a research paper. The review that follows is a compilation of all of these sources.

Products and Services

Pay for Essay is strictly an academic writing service. It provides essays, papers, case studies, reviews, lab reports, theses and dissertations, and coursework help to students from high school through Ph.D. programs. In addition to these products, it also offers editing and proofreading services and admissions, scholarship and personal statement essays for college and grad school application needs.

Website Quality

The PayforEssay website is organized into separate pages for the company’s features, including prices, guarantees, samples, blog articles, etc. Footer pages further describe a number of the specific products, and there are some published policies as well. The structure of the site is solid; however, the content text reflects some pretty poor writing. Here are just a couple phrases: “It will cost you much cheaper,” and “little to none time.” This is indicative of a non-native English writer, although the company claims that all of its writers are ENL.

Quality of Products and Services

For PayforEssay.net product quality, we used a number of sources, with the following results:

• Customer testimonials on the site are all favorable
• Samples and blog articles had a lot of grammar errors, as well as poor structures, lack of transitions, and in the case of two samples we thoroughly analyzed, incoherent flow and content that did not develop the thesis statements.
• Off-site customer reviews cited the same issues we found with the samples.
• The research paper we ordered arrived on time, but, again, had grammar and sentence structure errors, as well as some structural issues.

In terms of customer service, Pay for Essay probably uses an answering service. It was difficult to understand the reps we spoke with on the phone. The live chat feature worked better, but, even then, there were long pauses before our questions were answered. We did learn that a complete dissertation could be produced in as little as seven days, something that raised a huge “red flag” for us. we are not certain that the rep even understood what a dissertation is.

We can say that PayforEssay is not a fraud or scam. Our issue with the service is the quality of its products. Further, there is no BBB membership.

Prices and Discounts

Prices are about average for the industry. Our paper, 8 pages at the college level, with a 7-day deadline, was $143.60. we could find no discounts or coupon codes for special pricing anywhere on the site, nor was there any promo code for first-time customer discounts. We did read about a “bonus plan” and one rep explained that we would receive 5% of the cost of an order on account for a price reduction on future orders.

Extra Features

The only extra feature we found was the offer of a free plagiarism report, with a $15 value placed on it. There are also fee-based extras offered at the time of checkout. We are assuming that we were not charged for our title or bibliography pages, because we paid for 8 pages at the going rate per page.

Conclusion

In looking at pros & cons of Pay for Essay, we have concerns about quality and the fact that writers appear to be ESL, not ENL, as promised by the company. Further, the claim that a full dissertation could be completed within 7 days is ludicrous. We are assigning a rating of “Fair to Poor.”
