Scribbr’s proofreading services are priced transparently and affordably. Your proofreading rate depends on your word count, selection of services, and turnaround time.
I was hesitant to use such a service on the Internet, but in the end I was really satisfied with the quality of the proofreading. It is quite expensive, but I think the price is reasonable for the professional service.
Read review on TrustpilotAn excellent proofreading service. The editors were thorough, friendly and gave advice on subtle changes I could make to improve the quality of my expression. I would recommend this service to anyone who needs a second pair of eyes on a substantive writing project.
Read review on TrustpilotVery good service! When I saw the price, I was a little shocked at first. However, now that I have seen the work behind the corrections, I find it justified. I could really learn a lot from the hints and have learned a lot about scientific work. If you have the money, I really recommend it!

Read review on TrustpilotThe process was really simple and I got some advice and help with better grammar and structure of sentences. The customers service was also excellent in helping me with some questions. I want to give it a strong 4, the reason for this is that it helped a lot but my teacher still had some notes on grammar/sentences after the corrections of this service
Read review on TrustpilotI cannot remotely begin to adequately express how grateful I am that this service is available and for the hard work of the editing team. The customizable options are absolutely phenomenal; the 24hour option is truly live saving. The user friendly website, process of looking at information for what services I needed, information to understand how the process would work, uploading my documents, options to add notes, timely emails, and ease of accessing the revised documents was truly an impressive service. The comments on my 'most common mistakes' is a resource I will be able to use going forward to improve my writing skills, so helpful! I would highly recommend this service to anyone and everyone (maybe don't wait until your project deadline is 2 days away, but if that does happen to you like it did me, you will be so thankful for choosing this service!)
Read review on TrustpilotIt was amazing!! The feedback improved my PhD thesis to a great extend & I am extremely happy with the great feedback & input. It was all very transparent & comprehensible.
Read review on TrustpilotThe feedback is really helpful. The editor has corrected my grammatical mistakes and made my structure clear and smooth. Overall, the editor is very professional and I recommend the service to everyone who wants to improve their writings.
Read review on TrustpilotThe editing, proofreading, structure checks, etc. was excellent as usual and deserved a 5-star rating. But due to the mistakes in the citation checks which was partly my fault as I did not provide the required Harvard Referencing Guides, thinking that it would be the same. But apparently, Scribbr's Harvard Referencing Guide is different from what we were provided by our university. So I rate this experience as 4-Star instead. 14/06/2022 - Updates Scribbr contacted me to understand my concerns. I have to admit that in this case, the faults lies with me as I checked several Harvard Referencing Guides which most of them, if not all have slight differences from the guide provided by my university. I have to admit that despite that, Scribbr was actually very meticulous and detailed explaining each and every edition. Had I given them my guide, they would have done a perfect job. Thus I feel that it is only fair that they deserve a 5-Star.
Read review on TrustpilotThe manuscript was improved a lot. The flow of the text improved. Grammar corrected. Overall it was excellent job done.
