StudyBay.com review

Service Overview

Studybay is a platform that has been offering academic writing help to students since 2011, which makes it quite an old writing service. The site design is nothing special, but it's easy to navigate for the most part. I didn't like that some important buttons are dumped to the very bottom of the main page, but I won't draw conclusions in my Studybay review based simply on that.

I was optimistic about this site because of hundreds of reviews and a great rating on such platforms as TrustPilot and SiteJabber. However, on the company's site, I saw some unbelievable numbers: it is stated that they employ over 27 thousand writers who have completed orders for over 80 thousand customers. Granted, the company has been around for close to 10 years, but I still couldn't help from wondering, is Studybay legit? This review is for those who are curious to find out the truth.

Quality of Services

As for the quality of writing, it's a kind of a lottery with services like this. You may get a good writer, and that will explain some positive studybay.com reviews. You can spend time scrolling through the available candidates, chat with them, and make your final choice.

Unfortunately, that didn't save me from a poorly written paper. It was hard to read, and after I fixed some mistakes, the plagiarism report was not good either. That explains how the writer managed to send it to me long before the deadline was over.

Prices and Deadlines

On the main page, there are promises of rates as low as $5 per page for a dissertation with a 3 weeks deadline or $8 per page for an essay with a 4 hours deadline. Now, even if these prices were real, I would not expect any real quality from a writer working on that dissertation.

However, the truth is that once you create an order, writers start bidding on it, and the prices are nothing like that. The lowest I got for a 2-page essay due in 10 days was $25. Other offers were as high as $70.

Oh, and there's also a service fee you pay to Studybay. It's not shown on the order page but is mentioned in the user agreement.

While I did get my essay long before the deadline, as I mentioned before, you can find multiple Studybay reviews from people who were less fortunate.

Guarantees

Although there are a lot of loud promises on the main page, once you get to the user agreement, it becomes clear that Studybay provides few real guarantees. The refund policy is quite vague, and the thing I hate the most is that the site seems to take no responsibility for its writers. From what I've seen, there is unlikely any serious selection process, and you simply have to hope that your writer is a decent person.

Online Reputation

Well, there's a lot of praise for writers left by customers on the site, but if you look for feedback elsewhere, you'll encounter quite a lot of negative and raging Studybay reviews as well. The answer to such a difference lies in the fact that this service uses a bidding system, and all of its writers are basically freelancers. And when I opened the experts' list to see their rating, I was presented with only about 4 thousand writers, of which only about a hundred was online, and not 2.5 thousand like it says on the main page.

And now, the best part is only less than 800 writers had a rating - all the rest seem to have completed no orders to earn it. So, those are quite interesting details. After seeing this, I think everyone can agree that Studybay reviews and ratings have to be approached with caution and extreme doubt.
