What Academized Reviews Have to Say

Academized has a large writing team, and writers are available for any type of assignment or subject area. You can look through their profiles to find someone who seems to fit your order and read the previous clients’ feedback on each particular writer.

Keep in mind, though, that if you want to request a specific writer instead of having your order assigned to someone automatically, you will have to pay an extra 10% or so for the so-called “preferred writer” feature and an extra 20% or so on top of that if the write you choose happens to be in the top 10 on Academized.

Also, we have to disappoint you if you expect to see the writers’ credentials (for example, their diplomas or training certificates). The only information you get from the writer’s profile is the disciplines they claim to be an expert in, their average customer rating, and the number of orders they have completed. Even the photos aren’t real.

Sadly, communication with Academized writers leaves much to be desired. We had to wait hours for our writer to respond to our messages. When we requested a revision, they ignored us for almost a day before finally getting back to us.

This might be a temporary deal, but you get approximately 18% off your order if this is your first time using Academized. That’s a pretty significant discount, especially if you’re ordering a larger and more expensive paper. For example, we ordered a 5-page graduate-level essay with a 48-hour deadline and paid $152.96.

If it hadn’t been our first order at Academized, we’d have to pay $179.95. Also, Academized has a few discounts for its returning customers. To reward loyal clients, Academized offers a lifetime 5% discount for everyone who has ordered 15+ pages; the number goes up to 10% and 15% off if you’ve ordered 50+ or 100+ pages, respectively. Still, even with the discounts, Academized has higher prices than most comparable competitors.

Overall, when it comes to deals and discounts, you’re better off with other services, including those NoCramming has coupon codes for. You can get the same or even higher quality for less money.

We have to include a prices review in our feedback on Academized because frankly, it’s the worst thing about the service. With the price per page ranging from $12.99 to $41.99, Academized has higher-than-average prices. To compare, some services charge as little as $7 per page (for lower academic levels and if you place your order way in advance). The difference in the quality isn’t big enough to justify such a significant price disparity.

However, high prices per page aren’t even the worst part of Academized's pricing structure. It’s all the things Academized charges extra for when it shouldn’t. As discussed, you need to be ready to pay more to request a specific writer. You will also have to pay for a plagiarism report (which most services provide for free).

Most surprisingly, you will be charged an extra 10% of the total price of your order if you want the writer to write in using British English. In our experience, this is unprecedented and completely unfair.

For the most part, Academized customer service is decent. You might not get the response you want instantly, but the Academized customer support team is more responsive and prompt than their colleagues from most other academic writing services. When we used the live chat on the website to contact the support team, we didn’t have to wait for a response for longer than 10 minutes or so, and the answers were helpful, which isn’t always the case.

In addition to the live chat, you can contact Academized’s support via phone or email. Both are available on the website; you won’t have trouble finding them. We wouldn’t recommend using email—it’s typically the least efficient communication channel if you’re trying to reach an academic writing service.

However, Academized's customer support is far from perfect. When we tried to contact the writer, and they weren’t answering, we expected the customer support team to interfere and help us reach the writer. We aren’t sure if they did, but it took our writer almost a day to respond to us, which suggests that they didn’t. Overall, our verdict on Academized’s customer support team is that they are efficient.

The number one policy that most clients of academic writing services are interested in is the money-back guarantee. They want to know whether or not they will get the money back if the paper they get turns out to be way below their expectations.

We haven’t had a chance to test this ourselves, but many Academized reviews claim it’s impossible to get a refund, no matter how bad the paper is. The dispute department reviewing the money-back requests tends to side with the writer and, more often than not, denies refund requests.

The situation with free revisions isn’t much better. We did get ours eventually, but it took the writer so long to get back to us that we would miss the submission deadline if we were regular students needing their papers urgently. Some of the reviews we’ve seen complain about the same treatment.

‍

Let’s talk about something more positive now. One of the questions about Academized we get the most is, “Is Academized a good service?” While there’s no universal answer because everyone’s criteria are different, in our experience, the paper quality on Academized is good. The paper was decently written except for the few things the writer missed in the instructions.

However, if you’re wondering whether or not Academized’s quality of writing is worth the high prices the service charges, the answer is no. While the service’s writers are pretty good at what they do, we’ve tested several of Academized’s competitors with the same or even higher quality while charging less.

So, unless you have a lot of money to spare, we suggest you keep looking for a more affordable yet still high-quality alternative.

Academized claims that every paper it delivers is 100% free of plagiarism. It is hard to say if this is always the case, but ours was fully original. We’ve checked it using different plagiarism detectors, and all showed that the content was unique and human-written. Unsurprisingly, the originality report we ordered from Academized showed the same.

At the same time, we’ve seen a few reviews by Academized’s clients that said the papers they received weren’t fully original. There supposedly were large, poorly paraphrased paragraphs that weren’t cited. The clients knew those were plagiarised because they came from the course readings.

Even more alarmingly, the originality reports those clients got from Academized (and were charged extra for) didn’t catch those paraphrased fragments.

‍

As we’ve already discussed, you can find positive and negative feedback in Academized.com reviews. On the one hand, quite a few reviews claim that Academized has competent and communicative writers who know what they are doing and are happy to talk things through with the customer if needed (which, sadly, wasn’t our experience). The service’s range of paper types and its customer support team receive much love, too.

On the other hand, some clients complain about having received their papers past the deadline. Quite a few also admit being disappointed by the quality of writing, which isn’t surprising, given Academized’s prices. Some customers say they got poor grades for the papers by Academized’s writers, which is disheartening.
