EssayShark Review

EssayShark is one of the longest-running professional writing services. Formally started in 2011, the website states that they host 300+ writers daily to cater to their client’s requests. In addition, EssayShark claims that their writers can tackle high school, college, and master’s level papers. Moreover, the writing service even offers free revisions and installment-based payments.

Our team did its own research. We discovered that the site has issues with the uniqueness of the assignment, and that in order to meet the deadline, the quality of work may suffer. However, we will go through it in greater detail in this review.

A service overview can be vital when evaluating whether EssayShark is trustworthy. So, before jumping into the pros and cons, let’s look briefly into the website’s service history. 

The service claims to have over ten years of professional writing experience. First registered in 2009, the website produced its first paper in 2011. According to the company, this number has grown to over 1,00,000 papers as of 2021. 

As the company states, its site gets 104,519 visitors daily. In such a case, most of the visitors would be regulars using the service.  

Unlike most EssayShark reviews, we include social media engagement to be a significant sign of a brand’s/service’s performance. Based on our research, company has an account each for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, with followers numbering

• 1,777 on Twitter
• 62 on LinkedIn
• 2,487 on Instagram

This data helps us estimate that EssayShark’s 104,519 daily visitors are regulars that are more active on the website than on their social media handles. In fact, one of the reasons for this loyal buyer base could be the vast range of writers. 

A review of the Essay Shark website tells us that they have over 213 active writers on a given day. Out of these, over 124 are generally available to hire. The writers’ performance and ratings also seem to be transparent and adequate. The satisfaction rate among buyers also appears to be good. According to the website, the Average Quality Score for writers is 9.6 out of 10.

An Essay Shark review also shows us that the pricing on the site is flexible. The writers seem to serve a wide variety of clients, including high school students, collegegoers, and even masters-level academians. The final price of professionally written papers, moreover, seems to be dictated by factors like 

• Academic Level
• Number of Pages
• Paper Deadline
• Type of paper Required

According to the website, the maximum and minimum prices for each level of buyers are as follows.

Additional Services: Editing, Proofreading, and Plagiarism Checker

Generally, if you think your EssayShark writer is cheating, you can contact the support team. EssayShark customer service will get back to you and offer free revisions in such cases. 

However, you can also order these rewriting and editing services as a separate pack. For example, let’s say you want your paper professionally checked for plagiarism and grammatical errors. 

EssayShark’s additional programs can help you do just this. Moreover, the rates for these are very student-friendly and accessible. For example, the price for editing/rewriting service seems to range from $10 to $35.27. As with their usual orders, this rate appears dependent on factors like

• Paper Length
• Paper Urgency

EssayShark Website User Experience Review

However, despite a review of the services offered, the best way to test the service was to make an order for ourselves. For our test order, we requested an essay on the topic – “Revolutionary War Vs Civil War.” The paper will be based on the history of the American Civil War and how it affected the nation.

Ordering Process

Well, if you are expecting EssayShark to be illegal, you will be sorely disappointed. In fact, the ordering process on the website was surprisingly easy. In addition, we faced no delays or issues when posting our request. 

Based on our experience, we can say that the EssayShark order system is 100% legit. When communicating with our writers, we felt they were safe and reliable. The system interface, moreover, was clean and easy to navigate. 

Filling the Form

After clicking the “Order” button, the site directed us to the form-fill-up section. Here we were asked to provide detailed instructions about our order. 

EssayShark’s ordering system requested us to produce instructions like

• The topic of Paper – In our case, “Revolutionary War Vs Civil War.”
• Type of Paper – “College Essay”
• Discipline – “History”
• Paper Size – “2 Pages”
• Academic Level – “Unspecified”
• Deadline

Expert Bidding

Upon creating our order, we had to proceed to the bidding phase. The service uses a unique system that lets you choose your writer of choice. So, instead of randomly assigning a professional, multiple writers bid to work on your order.

You can make your choice by reviewing their profiles and work history. During our EssayShark review, we saw that we could filter our writers. The system allowed us to choose our vendor, “Bestprofessor,” based on filters like

• Number of Completed Orders
• Awards Acquired
• Discipline Specialization   
• Online, i.e. Current Availability
  

Finalizing Our Order

Once we had chosen our writer, the support team quickly responded to our request. The preferred communication mode seems to be system chat. For example, we received the following response from the system as soon as Bestprofessor’s bid was finalized. 

We could add more instructions to our order by contacting our writer directly via the system chat. 

Receiving Our Order 

After placing our 2-page-long essay on the American Civil War, all we had to do was wait for it to be completed. This time too, the support team’s response was quick. We received a notification informing our order had been completed. 

“Bestprofessor” moreover, delivered our paper well within the deadline. In our EssayShark review, we discovered several thoughtful features added to the system. For example, we could contact the writer immediately if we found issues with the order.

We could demand a rewrite and even hold back payment until we were satisfied with the result. However, these changes were only possible during the order period. This meant revisions weren’t unlimited and had to be ordered when the order was active. 

As a sign of reliable writing, EssayShark offered us a plagiarism report for our order. “Bestprofessor,” of course, had not plagiarised any content. They added references and relevant links for all the sources they had referred to. You can view the screengrab below to see how the plagiarism check works on the website. 

Review of EssayShark Authors/Experts

In our review, we found that most of the claims about their writers were true.

According to the company, writers on the service consistently meet their deadlines. In fact, EssayShark claims that 99.1% of all orders reach buyers before the time limit. However, this time crunch may negatively affect the quality of the work.

For example, the work from ”Bestprofessor” was plagiarism free and well-researched. However, the writing was surprisingly basic and bare in some sections. The writer may have overlooked this aspect in their haste to deliver the order on time.

Typically, EssayShark claims to hire only the best professionals. Though looking to work for the service have to undergo the following round of checks:

• System Registration
• Document Check
• Grammar Test
• Test Essay 

Costs and Discounts

Our EssayShark review found that this service offers some of the most competitive rates in the market. Rates start from as low as $13.35 for custom papers. The rewriting/editing services prices are even lower, beginning from $10. 

However, these numbers vary depending on the complexity of the essay, academic level, and deadline. For example, a Masters-level paper delivered within 4 hours costs $35.27. Meanwhile, a high school-level order produced within the same deadline is only $27.50. No EssayShark promo code or discounts were found. 

The final price is at the discretion of the writer. For example, a professional with a high rating and multiple wards may charge more for the same work. Fortunately, the bidding system makes it easy for the buyer and the writer to agree on a mutually-beneficial rate. And once you receive a satisfactory order, you can pay using:

• ApplePay
• Visa 
• Amex
• Discover
• MasterCard

Accessing the EssayShark Money-Back Guarantee 

Our EssayShark review discovered that the company offers a refund in the following cases.

• When no writer is assigned, or the orders are not put forward. In such cases, you are entitled to a 100% refund. 
• You get a 20% to 100% refund if an assigned writer cancels your order. The refund percentage depends on the stage at which they cancel your booking. 
• For missed deadlines, EssayShark offers a partial refund. However, this depends on the unique factors of each case. 

Evaluating EssayShark Reviews from Trustpilot, and Sitejabber

EssayShark customer reviews from platforms like TrustPilot and SiteJabber indicate the company has a satisfactory service angle. For the former, the website has an average of ⅗ stars based on 7 reviews. 

Meanwhile, EssayShark’s SiteJabber profile is rated 4.78 out of 5 stars by 848 customers.   

Reviews on Reddit reveal that many consumers had the same issues with Essayshark that we did. 

Our Verdict

Based on this customer feedback, our test order, and our review of its services, we can safely claim that EssayShark can help students in need. The reliable customer support and the easy bidding system make ordering a breeze. Moreover, the pocket-friendly prices make the service an excellent fit for students.

However, if you want to order a thesis or a dissertation, you should consider giving your writer plenty of time to conduct research. Quick deadlines on EssayShark, in our experience, are best reserved for high school term papers and assignments.
