Table of Contents
Essayontime.com has a busy website that features all of its products and services, with several links to key informational pages. And it has been in business since 2002, one of the oldest writing services on the web. Because of this, there is a wealth of information about the company all over the web, on other review sites and social media. We use such information as we write our reviews, along with many other sources – the website content, policies, description of services, samples, testimonials, pricing, discounts, benefits, etc. – and we take everything into account in the summary that follows.
Services And Features Available
Essayontime has a link to its services on its home page. Actually, there are five categories of services:
- Academic writing services – essays, papers, reviews, analyses, lab reports, case studies, projects, etc.
- Thesis and dissertation services
- Assignments
- Admissions, personal statement, and scholarship essays
- Editing and proofreading
There are more detailed descriptions of specific products and services when each is “clicked.” And the overall pricing structure is also given on each of those pages.
One issue we ran into in going through the website was some broken links. On the home page are some links, such as “U.S Based Company” with “certified writers” and an arrow underneath. Unfortunately, we were unable to click the link about the writers, and we are not certain what the term “certified” means exactly.
Overall, the company offers a full range of academic writing products and services at all academic levels.
Pricing System And Discounts
The link to pricing provides a chart of the price per page and deadline urgency. Pricing begins at $22.99 a page and goes all the way up to $67.99/page for the highest quality level and a 3-hour deadline.
There are three levels of quality for customers to choose from – Standard, Premium, and Platinum. The standard level promises a writer with a Master’s; the premium level promises a writer with a Master’s or Ph.D., and the platinum level promises only writers with Ph.D.’s. We found it interesting that there are no pricing distinctions between the high school, college, and grad school products and services nor among the types of product a customer may order. There is a big difference between a basic essay and a more complex research paper or case study. For a high school student, $23/page for a basic essay is pricey compared to other services, and it seems that perhaps the services of Essay on Time are better suited for college levels and above.
In terms of discounts, a new customer receives 15% off his first order. From that point, there are lifetime discounts based upon a total number of pages ordered over time – 5% for 51 pages; 10% for 101 pages; and 15% for 101 pages on up. There do not seem to be promo codes or discount coupons for any special pricing beyond these.
Security Level And How To Proceed With Payment
Once a student registers on the site by placing an order, he provides his name and email address. The company encrypts this information on its site, and every customer has a personal password to access his own account. Personal information appears to be carefully secured for confidentiality. Users should also read the EssayonTime.com Privacy Policy.
EssayonTime accepts all major credit cards for payment and in major currencies for Western countries. Payments are through an SSL-certified payment processor (Authorize.net), and so customers can feel safe that their financial information is secure.
Clearly, this company is a legal entity and certainly not a fraud or scam. Customers order products, provide their instructions and have their products delivered via their email accounts. They may then ask for revisions, according to the company Revision Policy. Again, we urge users to read through this and the other company policies so they understand their rights and responsibilities regarding revisions, refunds, etc. There are some customer complaints about both of these.
Writers Expertise And Delivery
Essay on Time states that it has 500+ registered writers and that all of them have Master’s degrees or higher and are native English-speaking pros from the U.S. and UK. They also state that every piece of writing goes through a complete editing process and plagiarism check before it is delivered. This is a thorough process, to be sure.
To review the quality of the work produced by EssayonTime writers, we reviewed several samples that are posted on its site – one on stem cell research, one on energy drinks, and one on pollution in the workplace environment. We did find word usage errors which should have been found and corrected by editors. The title “Energy Drinks” for one paper should have been changed. It was actually a paper on sound principles of advertising that compared two ad campaigns.
Overall, quality is fine, and resources are correctly formatted.
Additional Benefits
Essayontime offers the following services free: e-mail delivery, annotated bibliography, page formatting, tracking of order, title page, revision, and essay writing tips. One benefit was “free email delivery” (all email delivery is free).
Conclusion
The Essayontime.com website is a bit crowded. Its prices are in the high range of average for the marketplace in which it operates, and Essayontime.com discounts offer nothing exceptional.
This company has been in business for a long time and probably has made the decision, based upon pricing, to cater to higher-end clients who can pay higher prices. There is nothing particularly unique here, but certainly, it is a trusted source for academic writing.
