My Take on Essay Writing Services: Which is the Best? Review

Before someone starts judging me for using custom writing services, let me get things clear right from the start: being a student is harder than I ever thought. It’s not that I’m not interested in the studies – I pull all-nighters, do well on exams, and try to do as many papers as my time allows… but I’m still far from getting everything done in time. It’s not about bad time management; it’s all about overwhelming curriculums.


When I heard that my fellow students in high school were using custom writing services, I thought that all my troubles have come to an end… until I realized that there are ridiculously many companies on the market and had the bad luck of bumping onto the wrong ones the first couple of times. It took some trial and error for me to find services that are good enough for my money and my professors’ expectations.

Choosing a great essay writing website takes more than browsing through some websites that pop up in Google results. After all, you’ve seen what they all claim – “we are the best in this industry”. For the good of all students out there, I decided to write this elaborate review on some of the top essay writing services on the market and tell you how good they really are.

1. BestEssays.com

The thing I most appreciated about this website at first sight was the offer of free samples. I took a look at the featured content and decided that if everything they deliver was of this quality, I wouldn’t have any remarks. The claim that this company has over 10 years of experience in the writing market also gives credibility, and its policies are quite beneficial for the customers. It has strong privacy guarantees, as well as money-back guarantees and a possibility to ask for free amendments.

After few wrong decisions with other custom writing services, I had my doubts about these claims. However, I decided to order my history research paper from this website and I’m glad I made that choice.

The result? This is the most professional writing service I’ve dealt with so far. I needed a very detailed history research paper and I already had my ideas on what to write, but didn’t have the time to complete it. The writer understood what I wanted immediately and delivered just what I expected – it was like I’ve written it myself, only catchier and with better academic language.

This paper was very important for my final grade in that class, so I was a little annoying with my questions to the customer support and writer, asking for constant updates. They were very helpful and kept me updated with the order status all along.

I ordered a research paper of Premium Quality with a deadline of 7 days (price per page was $24.99) and used a discount code that got me 25% off. This website offers quite reasonable quotes per page, the lowest one being $21.99 for Standard Quality with deadline of 10 days, and the highest one $60.99 for Platinum Quality with a 3-hour deadline. For the highly-professional service I got from this company, I have to say the prices are very reasonable.

The paper I received was exquisite, and my professor was just as impressed as I was (I have a strong A to prove that). This is the company I recommend the most to my friends. I am planning to place more orders from them, so I will update this review if my impression changes.

2. RushEssay.com

RushEssay.com was recommended by a friend of mine who had great experience with this company. She said “this is the company you need for extremely urgent papers, the name says it all”. I was in a tight situation with an essay for my sociology class, which I thought I would be able to write the night before due date. My friend’s recommendation was from experience in an urgent situation, so I decided to take the risk and ordered an essay with a deadline of 6 hours ($45.95 per page for an Advanced Level paper).

I contacted the customer support center immediately after placing the order and made sure to stress out how important this paper was. They were very attentive and understanding, and assured me that a writer with a sociology Master’s has already been assigned to the case. The paper came in right on time, and its quality was acceptable. It wasn’t impressive so I had to make few corrections myself, but all in all I was lucky to have chosen this company at the time because I don’t know what would happen if the decision was different.

The paper would have been impressive for someone else, because its quality was quite decent, but I am a sociology major and have really high standards when it comes to this area of study.

The prices of this company are affordable (of course, when it comes to the longer deadlines – the short deadlines are expensive no matter what company you choose, but I wouldn’t write a paper on such short notice for anything less). An essay with a deadline of 10 days costs $22.95 per page for Standard Level, and $52.95 per page for an essay of Premium Level with a 3-hour deadline.

When compared to the prices at BestEssays.com, you will notice that RushEssay.com has higher quotes for the longer deadlines and lower quotes per page for the shorter deadlines.

The only thing I would change was adding few discussion points in the paper, but I was completely satisfied with the service and have great things to say for the website’s customer support.

3. SuperorPapers.com

I’ve had a long-term relationship with SuperiorPapers I had my favorite history writer I repeatedly requested and I was satisfied for the last year of high school and first year of college with my regular orders at this website. You already guess – history isn’t my favorite subject, so I often need help with papers for this class. My communication with the writer and customer service of this website was top-notch. The orders were always on time (I’ve ordered 4-5 times from the same website), and the quality was impeccable.


Whenever I had additional requirements and asked for free revisions, the writer understood exactly what I wanted and managed to perfect the content to meet my needs.

However, my preferred writer wasn’t available for the last order and that was the point when I decided to try out BestEssays.com and came to the conclusion that it was one step above this one when it comes to website usability and customer support. I still have only great things to say about SuperiorPapers.com and I will probably return to it for my history papers. According to my personal experience, this is the website that has some of the best professional essay writers on the market.

The company provides free amendments, outline, title page, bibliography, e-mail deliver and formatting. I was never required to pay anything above the prices stated on the website. The extensive team of writers is consisted of professionals of all fields of study, so they have the capacity of completing any order with any deadline.

The prices are very affordable when it comes to the longer deadlines, which is why this website was my regular choice for a long time. An essay of Standard Quality with a deadline of 10 days costs $19.99 per page, and a Platinum-quality essay with a deadline of 3 hours costs $57.99 per page.

4. BestCustomEssay.org

This website is real refreshment in the industry. I was getting tired from similar-looking websites that offer similar order forms and features.

BestCustomEssay.org has a distinctive design that’s more appealing and looks extremely professional. I know that the look of the website is not a determining factor when it comes to choosing the best writing service, but I appreciate companies that invest in a good design.

After placing more orders at BestEssays and SuperiorPapers, I was on the search for another reliable website where I could use the benefits of a new customer. I needed a paper for my philosophy class, and let me tell you – the professor is quite demanding and requires students to have strong opinions.

I ordered a 5-page essay of Premium Quality for a deadline of 10 days ($21.99 per page), and landed the 15% discount as a new-coming customer. I was thinking about choosing the extra feature “fulfilled by top 10 writers”, but decided that the guarantees for Premium Quality should be enough for my needs.


The paper came in earlier than expected – I got it within a week. I had remarks on some points of the discussion (some parts seemed too generic and not strong enough), so I made notes within the document and contacted the customer support to elaborate my arguments. The agent that attended me understood the issue and the Quality Assurance department approved my paper for revisions. The same writer worked on the revisions and I got it back within 2 days after. I was completely satisfied with the final result, and got a B on the paper (expecting an A from this professor is science fiction).

The prices for the longest deadline are cheaper when compared to my first choice of an essay writing service (BestEssays.com), which puts this website on my list for future possible choices. An essay of Standard Quality with a deadline of 10 days costs $19.99 per page, and the price for an essay of Platinum Quality with a deadline of 3 hours is $52.99 per page.

5. Essay-On-Time.com

Essay-On-Time.com was my choice for a psychology paper. It offers a great discount of 20% on the first order, which was why I decided to give it a try. I already had custom-writing companies I could trust, but regular customers usually get lower discounts when compared to newcomers, so I decide to try a new essay writing company from time to time.
Strange thing to see was a little bit confusing design. But nice girl at customer support told me that they are having some hosting issues and fixing that bug, so  there is nothing to worry about.

I asked the writer to use a specific source to develop the discussion, and he accepted my requirements without any problems. I contacted the writer two or three times to get updates on the progress and the writer was always available to respond to my questions. He had some questions himself, which I highly appreciated, since he was interested about my standings on the topic and wanted to tailor a paper that would represent me.


The result was less than impressive, because large parts of the essay were paraphrased paragraphs of the source I submitted to the writer. There were some original parts in the discussion and the overall impression for the paper would have been great if I hadn’t read the source before. I didn’t ask for revisions because the due date was the following morning, and didn’t have the time to make corrections myself so I decided to accept it as it was. However, I got an A on it, so everything turned out better than expected. The paper was definitely not pre-written, and it was obvious that the writer invested effort in satisfying my requirements.

My order was a 5-page essay of Premium Quality with a deadline of 5 days (the price per page was $23.99). As you can see, I always choose the Premium Quality option because my experience taught me that it offers the best value for the price. The prices at the website are quite affordable – $19.99 per page for Standard Quality with deadline of 10 days, and $52.99 per page for Platinum Quality with a deadline of 3 hours.

Conclusion – Essay writing services are worth it when you know which one to choose

The choice of essay writing services on the market can be overwhelming. For a student in need, it may be easy to make the wrong decision and end up with a scamming website. I’ve made bad choices myself, but we’ll talk about them in another review. It took a lot of guesses to end up with a narrowed list of companies that deliver true quality and care for the customer’s needs, but the 5 websites listed above definitely deserved their spot in my top list.
