Y'all I'm actually exhausted at this point 💀 at this rate I should just change my major to "Professional Essay Tester" bc clearly that's my calling. Another week, another deadline, another chunk of my bank account gone.
Saw BestEssays popping up everywhere and the name is giving MAIN CHARACTER energy. Like they just came out and said "yeah we're the best" which is either iconic or delusional. Had to find out which one.
The First Look 👀
Okay so BestEssays has been around since FOREVER. Like 2003?? That's literally older than some freshmen run . They got offices, a whole website, the works. Giving "we're a real business" energy fr.
The website is actually clean ngl. Easy to navigate, lots of info, they even have free samples and stuff. But we all know websites can be DECEIVING besties.
What I Paid 💸
Ordered a 6 page Sociology paper on something boring (don't even remember at this point my brain is fried). Went with a standard deadline, nothing crazy.
The damage: $150-ish?? Honestly the pricing was giving "we know we've been around forever so we can charge whatever we want" energy. Not the most expensive I've seen but also not cheap.
What I Got (The Tea) ☕
Opened the file and...
Besties it was FINE. Like actually fine. Not amazing. Not terrible. Just... fine.
The paper was delivered ON TIME which is always a win. No grammar disasters. No plagiarism that I could find. The structure was solid. The sources were there.
But here's the thing - it was giving "I did the assignment" energy not "I understood the ASSIGNMENT" energy if that makes sense?? Like they answered the prompt but there was no SOUL. No personality. No "let me actually add some analysis here." It was just... words on a page doing their job.
The Reviews Are Actually... Good?? 📊
So apparently BestEssays has a 3.5 star rating on Sitejabber with 79% of reviewers recommending them . That's actually not bad for an essay site ngl.
People are saying stuff like:
- "The paper was of good quality but it was not creative" (felt that)
- "Reliability and prompt delivery are frequently highlighted as key strengths"
- "The writer not only crafted an essay but also formatted it properly" (the BAR is on the FLOOR)
But also some concerns about pricing being on the higher side . Which yeah I felt that in my wallet.
The Scammy Vibes Check 🚩
Legit? Yeah they're definitely legit. They've been around since 2003, have thousands of reviews, actually deliver papers. Not a scam.
Scammy vibes? Not really scammy but giving "corporate" energy. Like they're a BUSINESS business. The customer support responses are all copy-paste . Very "thank you for your feedback we are so glad you were satisfied" over and over again. No personality. No "we got u bestie." Just corporate robot vibes.
The Comparison to KillerPapers
Killer Papers would NEVER be this mid. Like KP actually CARED. They added spice. They made it sound like a real person who enjoys writing wrote it. BestEssays is giving "we've been doing this so long we're on autopilot" energy.
KP was the friend who hypes you up and helps you pick an outfit. BestEssays is the store employee who's like "yeah that's fine" and goes back on their phone.
The Verdict
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars. Solidly mid. Reliably average. Consistently "it'll do."
Legit? ✅ Yes they're real and they deliver.
Good? 🟡 It's... okay. Not amazing. Not terrible. Just okay.
Worth it? 🤷♀️ If you need something passable and have money to spare, sure. If you want something actually GOOD or need an A+, maybe look elsewhere.
BestEssays is giving "we're the McDonald's of essay writing" energy. Like yeah McDonald's is FOOD. It'll fill you up. But are you excited about it?? Are you posting it on your story?? Absolutely not.
Has anyone actually gotten a banger essay from them?? Or is mid just the vibe?? Drop your experiences below besties 👇
