PaperCoach Review: Our Thorough Analysis

With PaperCoach reviews mainly directed towards the quality of papers, we decided to start by evaluating the writers. If you opt for the “About Us” section of PaperCoach and scroll down, you can check out the top writers of the service.

You can see their photos, ratings, and brief biographies that contain information about the disciplines they are the best at. It seems legit, especially considering that some services fail to provide authors’ biographies completely. Unfortunately, the good impression was pretty much short-lived.

It turns out that not only you can’t select the writer on your own, you can’t even communicate with the writer directly. Those are two options that most academic helping services offer nowadays.

While you can say that PaperCoach is eight years old, that excuse won’t work. You see, there are services launched in the noughties that offer selecting writers and communicating on your own. What’s the point of demonstrating the top writers on your website when you can’t choose one of them?

Gladly, the testimonials don’t contain any rave praise for particular writers. Otherwise, it would have been extremely confusing. The lack of direct communication with the writer caused us certain inconveniences; more on that later.

At first glance, there’s nothing special about the discounts that the service offers. Besides, there were no complaints regarding the discount policy in papercoach.net reviews. But let’s dig into it anyway.

So, customers are offered 10% off on their first order, and that’s pretty much it. There is no loyalty program on PaperCoach. However, there are special offers that occur on particular days, like national holidays.

You can use special promo codes and get up to 15% off your order. For example, recently, they had a discount to commemorate September 9/11, where customers could get 11% off.  

The service also offers a referral program. Get your friends to order from PaperCoach, and you get 10% off on their first order plus a 10% commission on each order they make. Aside from that, you also get a personal manager who will take care of all your papers.

Your friends should be invited via a special link that you can get by activating the “Invite Friends” option in your account. Then, get your commission to your PayPal account each time your friends order from the service. It’s a nice option, as you won’t find a lot of assignment help services offering something like that.

If you browse through the comments on different aggregators, you will find at least one PaperCoach review complaining about the prices. We were a bit surprised because the site’s main page displays the price of $7.99 per page. Yet, things are quite different if you check the prices page.

It turns out that your paper will cost you $7.99 per page only if you order a high school essay with a 14-day deadline. If you need an essay like that in six hours, it will cost you $23 per page.

That may come as a disappointment, as checking out the prices page may give you an impression that the main page misguided you. However, we didn’t find any serious reasons for complaints.

The highest price on PaperCoach is the admission essay with a six-hour deadline. It will cost you $66 per page. Yes, that can be considered high, but there are services that ask customers to pay over $100 per page for a six-hour deadline.

At the same time, paying $66 per page for an essay of a subpar quality that requires revisions is a valid reason for leaving negative comments on the web.

We didn’t find any negative comments about PaperCoach customer support. There were reviews praising the support team, stating that it was responsive and helpful. We decided to check them out anyway.

First of all, when you browse through the site, there’s always a pop-up suggesting you to reach out to the support team. It’s good that you don’t have to search for how to get in touch with support representatives throughout the website. Aside from chatting, you can email the support agents, use the hotline, or request a callback.

In our first message, we acted like prospective customers who couldn’t decide whether to use the service because of the negative comments we read online. Kayla replied almost immediately.

While not asking us to clarify what comments we were talking about or explaining the nature of those comments, Kayla assured us that the service wouldn’t have been around more than eight years without providing quality paper writing.

Then, they went on to tell us about the revisions, rewrites, money-back guarantee, and welcome discount. All in all, we can state that our communication with the support team was quite satisfactory.

Is PaperCoach legit? The short answer is yes. The company is not involved in any fraudulent activities. The service indeed offers complete anonymity, as you don’t have to provide any personal data. Only your phone number and email are required to place an order. The payments are done securely, so you don’t have to worry about your financial data leaking.

However, going through the reviews, you can come across complaints about hidden fees. And we ran into them upon placing our order to check the professionalism of the company’s writers.

The third step of placing an order is choosing extra features. So, the plagiarism report is an extra $9.99. The grammar report is an extra $2.49. And you pay extra for an abstract page, summary, and draft. Moreover, if you want a Pro or Top writer to work on your order, it will add 25% or 45%, respectively, to the price of your essay.

Every other papercoach.net review concerns the poor quality of the papers the service delivers. To shed some light on the nature of the comments, we decided to see if we could get the best results for the lowest price.

We ordered an essay on the final girl tropes in horror movies and specified that the essay must contain information about which character is considered to be the first final girl. And within two weeks, our four-page undergraduate essay arrived. To say that we were disappointed would be an understatement.

There were no problems with grammar, although punctuation was a bit weird. However, the main problem was the content. Basically, the Wikipedia page on the subject can tell you more about it. Besides, the essay turned out a bit sexist, as the whole final girl trope was summed up that she survived because she was a virgin. But the biggest problem was with our specific request about who was the first final girl.

Ask Google, and the first result would be Jess Bradford from “Black Christmas” (1974). Dig a bit deeper, and some articles will point to Sally Hardesty from “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (1974). The essay that we got states that Laurie Strode from “Halloween” (1978) is the first final girl. It looks like the author doesn’t know that the most famous doesn’t necessarily mean the first.

Some negative reviews papercoach.net gets mention plagiarism. We decided not to spend an extra $9.99 on the plagiarism report and check the delivered essay on our own. We ran it through several plagiarism checkers, and the results seriously disappointed us. The essay was unsubmittable. According to all reports, it had between 15% and 19% of plagiarized content.

Based on the reports, the paper contained sentences from blog posts on the topic. Yes, on the one hand, PaperCoach is safe, thanks to the disclaimer at the bottom of the main page of the website. It states that all the papers provided by the service are for assistance purposes. In other words, they cannot be submitted as such. But 15% of plagiarized content is way too much. And surprisingly, plagiarism is not a reason for a refund.

Gladly, we were able to get a refund, as we didn’t “approve” the paper after running out of our three free revisions (yes, there are only three free revisions). Of course, given the writer’s work, we got only 50% back. If you opt for using PaperCoach, never click “approve” before making sure that the paper corresponds to your requirements and doesn’t contain plagiarism.

It would be unfair to conclude our PaperCoach review without suggesting you check the reviews of others. Our experience can be a result of our luck or the lack of it. After all, we used the service only once and presented you with the results of our investigation.

Aside from negative comments, there are a lot of neutral and positive reviews. And you shouldn’t shy away from reading the testimonials on the PaperCoach website.

At the time of writing, there are 46 pages of testimonials on the service’s website, and no matter what page you are on, it’s hard to find a negative comment. All reviewers give PaperCoach five stars out of five, although there are some who gave the service four stars.

However, one review caught our attention ‒ the one posted on March 17, 2023. Mark B. states that the writers are very professional and friendly.

While it’s easy to make a decision on the writers’ professionalism based on the papers they deliver, and Mark could’ve been more lucky than we were, it’s the friendliness of writers that puzzled us. How can you know whether the writers are friendly or not without direct customer-writer communication?
