  • Summary

  • Seattle, Washington – Essay Observer conducted an anonymous survey of over 16,000 U.S. college students to identify the most popular online essay writing services for 2025, as well as the main reasons why students use them.The market for on-demand essay help grows year by year, driven by increasing academic pressure on students and the widespread availability of websites that connect students with freelance writers.“As part of the survey, students were also asked about their motivations for seeking essay writing help,” explains Matthew Allen, researcher at Essay Observer. “The results revealed that the primary reasons for using these services are overwhelming workloads, intense academic pressure, and the fear of receiving low grades.”According to more than 16,000 customer reviews, the best essay writing services are:- PaperHelp.org (rated 4.92/5 with more than 5,740 reviews)- SpeedyPaper.com (rated 4.89/5 with more than 4,160 reviews)- EssayPro.com (rated 4.86/5 with more than 3,310 reviews)- GradeMiners.com (rated 4.83/5 with more than 1,980 reviews)You can access the detailed survey results and learn more about these academic writing companies at: https://essay.observer/survey.“We asked students if they had ever used college paper writing services or were tempted to do so, and to our surprise, about 83% of the students answered positively,” adds Matthew Allen. “Balancing classes, work, and life can be a lot, and some worry their writing isn’t good enough to meet expectations. Others might procrastinate or struggle with the material.”According to Essay Observer, the global online essay writing service market continues to grow year by year. It was valued at $1.97 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $4.35 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 9.20%. Intense academic workload is usually the main reason behind these striking numbers.What are students saying?"I didn’t think my assignment was fair, it was way too long and detailed for the time we were given. I had to write a 15-page research paper on global health disparities in less than a week. I used the service because I felt the professor was being unreasonable with the workload," shared Nadine, a student at the University of Virginia.Jim, NYU (New York University) student adds: “I was overwhelmed with my part-time job and coursework. I needed to pass the class, and I couldn’t keep up with the deadlines. I had a 10-page research paper due in 3 days on a topic I barely understood (climate change policy). I used the service to get it done overnight because I had no other choice.”"I'm not a strong essay writer, and I knew my grade would suffer if I tried to write it myself. I had a 1,500-word argumentative essay due in four days about the ethics of AI. I used the service to make sure I got at least a B, since my scholarship depends on maintaining a 3.5 GPA," says Emily, a Kent University student.Alice, who is studying at Columbia University, shares a similar story: "I wanted to see what a ‘perfect’ essay looked like so I could learn from it and improve my own writing. I ordered a 4-page essay on economic theories, and it was so well-written that I ended up submitting it because I knew I couldn’t do better."“I ordered a 10-page research paper on environmental science from EssayPro, and I was thoroughly impressed. The writer followed my instructions to the letter and delivered a well-researched, well-structured paper ahead of the deadline,” says Lesley, student at The University of Texas at Austin. “What I liked most was the attention to detail and the inclusion of recent sources. The customer service team was also very responsive, addressing my queries promptly. I’ll definitely use their services again.”"I procrastinated too much and ran out of time.
