Thesisgeek.com Review

Prices and Discounts 

The pricing page is entirely misleading. I got hooked with a promise of paying only $5.85 per 100 words (or around $60 for a 4-page essay). But once I filled in the details, my cost doubled. It turned out I’d missed “from” before the rate on the pricing page. In my defense, the print is tiny and gray-on-gray. 

I wasn’t too keen on paying almost a hundred bucks for a short piece, so I searched for a Thesisgeek.com discount code. I found no offers for first-time customers but got a promise of a loyalty discount. To get 5% off, I had to earn 750 points, equal to spending $750. That’s eight 4-page essays! Thesis Geek is generous enough to offer a 15% discount, but it only becomes available after you spend $3,000. There’s no chance I’ll ever get to that point.

Services Quality

With prices so high and discounts so low, the writing quality must be glorious, right? Let’s just say my Thesis Geek review would’ve been much less caustic if I’d gotten a good paper. But let’s start at the beginning.

First, I had to give up my email and phone number to learn the price. That’s one of my biggest pet peeves, but I let it slide. Next, they wanted me to pay around 30% extra for the “best expert in my field”. Why would I spend $30 more if they only hire top 2% talent?

It turns out, their top talent cannot handle a simple topic like “Is leadership an innate or acquired personality trait?” Instead of a 4-page argumentative piece, I got a short rant that didn’t even cover the required word count. The writer failed to present both sides of the argument, and their reasoning was limited to personal anecdotes and subjective claims. Despite my request to include five sources, the writer only used two, and they were random blog posts instead of scholarly articles. 

TL;DR: The paper I got was among the biggest disappointments I’ve had in a while.

Online Reputation 

SiteJabber

Thesisgeek.com reviews on SiteJabber convinced me to use the service. A 5-star rating based on 60 reviews is no joke. I wish I’d paid closer attention to those posts. For one, most are by people with a single review and zero helpful votes on their profiles, which always seems suspicious. For another, the posts are all the same length and written in a very similar style. Even if you believe they are all true, it’s statistically improbable for a company to have zero neutral or negative reviews. On the bright side, Kelly M., Thesis Geek rep, was nice enough to thank everyone for leaving a positive review.

Trustpilot

Thesis Geek no longer has a Trustpilot page. The writing service was deemed a bad fit, like many similar sites. I could not access old reviews, good or bad ones, but Sitejabber lists the previous rating at 4.8 stars.

Reddit

The sheer lack of genuine Thesisgeek.com Reddit reviews should have warned me off this service, but I was dazzled by a 5-star rating and nice web design. I barely found a single mention of the company on Reddit, which makes me question how long it has been around. Established companies usually have Reddit presence, even if it’s full of promo posts and negative reviews.

Other Review Websites

I couldn’t find a single positive review across independent platforms, further cementing my realization that the SiteJabber profile was doctored. ScamFighter, Top Writers Reviews, Best Writers Online, Assignment Review, and Top Writing Reviews all have the same complaints as me: extreme prices, poor quality, inefficient customer support, and more. I should have paid better attention to feedback before wasting $100.

Social media activity

Facebook 

I was hoping to find genuine ThesisGeek reviews on Facebook, but I came up empty. The site holds no social media links, and my search didn’t return any results. I guess the company couldn’t be bothered to develop an online presence outside the website.

Twitter

Thesis Geek doesn’t have a Twitter account either. And I couldn’t find any mention of the service. So it’s either very new, extremely unpopular, or super discreet.

Youtube

There’s no Youtube channel to discuss. But I’ve found a single poorly-made video dated five years ago listing all the benefits of Thesis Geek. The URL in the video is the same, though the design is vastly different, so I’m not even sure it’s the same website. 

Customer Support

I don’t have much to say about customer support in this ThesisGeek review. There’s no live chat, so I had to use email to get answers and file complaints. As you can imagine, it took me several hours to get a response every time, so the whole process was drawn-out and awkward. I was especially annoyed by stock answers that had nothing to do with my situation. For example, they asked me to provide a plag report after I complained about unfulfilled requirements. And when I tried calling, I could never reach a support agent.  

Guarantees

The money-back terms seemed honest and clear to me. I could get 10% back for formatting errors, up to 30% for grammar mistakes, and even more, if I’d caught plagiarism of unmet requirements. Unfortunately, I had no luck proving my claims to the support team. At the time of writing, I’m still in the middle of my email negotiations with no end in sight. I doubt I’ll get even half of my money back. And I’m especially peeved about the time I’ve wasted on this site.

Conclusion

This Thesisgeek.com review did not turn out the way I’d expected. But I won’t sugarcoat overpriced writing, falsely advertised experts, non-existent customer support, and stingy discounts. I wasted $100 on an unusable essay a high-schooler could have done better than the top 2% experts from Thesis Geek. If you value your time and money, steer clear. Otherwise, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
