Essays.phdessay.com Review 2026

1/5

PhDessay leads with an impressive-sounding boast — more than a million free essays online — but that headline is exactly what should make a UK student cautious. At its core, PhDessay is a free, US-based essay database with a custom-writing arm bolted on, and the free content is a liability rather than a benefit.

The name implies PhD-level rigour, yet the site is a sprawling repository of recycled student papers indexed for search traffic. Submitting any of it would be flagged instantly by your university's plagiarism software, and the 'custom' side routes you into a tangle of affiliated brands rather than a single accountable service.

Prices

The free database is the obvious trap: free, public, already-indexed essays cannot be safely submitted. The paid custom arm (essays.phdessay.com) shows no transparent GBP pricing and uses a 'pay only if satisfied' model that still operates in US dollars. What they don't provide: pricing in pounds, a fixed quote, or any safe, legitimate way to use the 'free' material in your own work.

List of Services

Alongside the database, PhDessay advertises custom writing, editing and assignment help — but its own links push you to other brands such as assignmentbro.com and samedaypapers.com, and its registered address is in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is a US-based network of sites, not a UK academic service, and the 'experts' are presented only as first-name profiles with star ratings. What they don't provide: verifiable UK specialists, a guarantee of UK referencing and conventions, or a single accountable company behind the brand.

Discounts and Free Features

PhDessay offers free plagiarism-checking tools and free samples, but the samples are precisely the academic-integrity risk, and a free checker does not make recycled content safe to submit. What they don't provide: a free Turnitin report proving originality of custom work, a clearly full money-back guarantee, or honest safeguards against the plagiarism trap its database creates.

Customer Support

Support is US-based with no UK phone line, and the affiliated-brand structure makes it unclear who is actually accountable for your order. What they don't provide: UK-based support, a dedicated academic contact, or transparency about which company in the network is handling your work.

Rating: 1/5

PhDessay scores 1 out of 5. A million free recycled essays is a million ways to fail a plagiarism check, and the US-based, multi-brand custom arm offers a UK student little they can verify or rely on. Treat the 'free essays' as exactly what to avoid, and choose a transparent provider that commits to UK academic standards.
