Our starting price for expert essay review

- Graduates of top universities (not retirees)
- Same quality, 98% lower cost
Free tools aren't enough
Grammarly and ChatGPT can check grammar, but they can't tell you if your topic is generic, your opening is weak, or your essay reveals nothing meaningful about you.
You need a human who knows what works.
Teachers don't have time
Your English teacher is reviewing 100+ essays. They give generic feedback like "be more specific" because they don't have hours per student.
We specialize in college essays.
Consultants are overkill
You don't need a full admissions package. You just need someone to review your essay and tell you how to fix it.
Pay for the essay review. Nothing else.

How We Keep Costs Low Without Sacrificing Quality
We're online-first
No expensive offices in Manhattan. No overhead from in-person meetings. Everything happens online, which means lower costs for you.
We focus on essays only
We don't bundle essay review with test prep, college lists, or months of weekly meetings. You pay for what you need: essay feedback.
Our reviewers are students, not retirees
Graduates of top universities give you the same quality feedback as expensive consultants—at a fraction of the cost because we're not paying for decades of industry branding.
AI does the grunt work
Our AI catches grammar, clichés, and basic issues instantly—so human reviewers can focus on the hard stuff like topic strength and voice. This saves time (and money).
Common Questions
Is the $249 tier really enough?
For most students, yes. If your essay is a decent draft and you just need feedback on how to improve it, Essential is all you need. Upgrade to Premium ($199) if you want a revision review after making changes.
How is this cheaper than traditional consultants but the same quality?
Traditional consultants charge for brand names, fancy offices, and bundled services you don't need. We focus only on essay review, work online, and use graduates of top universities (who give you fresh, relevant feedback without the markup).
Can I review multiple essays?
Yes. Pricing is per essay. If you have 3 supplementals, you'd pay 3× the tier price. We offer bulk discounts—email us if you're submitting 5+ essays.
What if I don't like the review I get?
7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, email us within 7 days and we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
Do you have payment plans?
Not currently. At $249-$399, most families can afford to pay upfront. If cost is a barrier, email us—we occasionally offer discounts for students with demonstrated financial need.
