Brilliant, I have used it through both my degree and masters.
Much easier to use with minimal ads. There have been a few mistakes made, but given that it is a free website, make sure to double- and triple-check the work!
Used for awhile but recently it is making a lot of errors.
It was useful, but some points lacked depth, and several entire paragraphs were left without feedback.
This tool has been so helpful with citing for APA format. I also love how it has so many different tools to help you further your writing skills.
Savannah was absolutely incredible! She did exactly the type of surgical editing my paper needed without changing my voice. I was very satisfied with Scribbr's service.
I paid 352 for three specific services: Proofreading & Editing, Structure Check, and Clarity Check.
What they actually did was nothing short of stealing my money. They did nothing but correct commas and verb tenses. Even the "advice" they provided was completely empty, with absolutely zero examples of what they were actually requesting. For instance, they told me to add an introduction to Chapter Two. I paid you to be my editor and provide active solutions, not just leave generic comments. Did you actually do the job you were paid for, or do you just want to rob people?
There are countless examples of this throughout my document—nearly 32 instances of the exact same lazy approach.I absolutely do not recommend this service to anyone. It is a complete waste of money, and you will gain zero value from them.
Today, AI programs can do a significantly better job than what Scribbr provided. A monthly subscription to Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity will give you far better structural advice, provided you feed them your research chapter by chapter. Even tools like QuillBot or Grammarly can fix your grammatical errors much better and at a fraction of the cost.Thank you for robbing people, Scribbr.
Took the free test it came back as a high probability of plagiarism. I paid to have the premium done and 6% of the 8% was the question the university had me had asked me to answer and the part asking me to note down my sources. I’m not at all happy
It is very helpful for students, especially for those who are only beginning out in research. Easy to access and a very convenient interface that can help organize and formulate citations almost always in correct APA 7 format.

I have been using Scribbr since 2021. I started while working on my bachelor's degree after 30 years away from school. After my bachelor's, I began using Scribbr while working on my master's degree. I will never forget that while I was taking a 200-level Data Analysis course, the instructor said in his feedback, Tina, you have mastered citing these papers.

It was great because the team was quick to answer my questions. Furthermore, the expert who did read my text improved significantly the style and the grammar. I would highly recommend this service for publishing academic articles.

Unfortunately, the entire process was very disappointing and did not go as agreed. Before placing the order, I clearly communicated my requirements and relied on the arrangements that had been confirmed in advance. However, the final document did not meet these expectations.
The formatting of the tables was inconsistent, including different colours and font colours. Figures and tables were not formatted uniformly: figure captions were placed after the diagrams, while table captions appeared before the tables. Page breaks were poorly arranged, with rows and columns split inappropriately and headings left standing alone on a page. The source sections were also inconsistent, with some parts justified and others left-aligned.
Despite raising these issues, no reasonable solution or accommodation was offered. Considering the high price and the fact that these problems occurred only two days before the submission deadline, this created a great deal of unnecessary stress. I even had to submit an additional medical certificate during this period.
Overall, I relied on the agreements made before placing the order, but the service and final result did not reflect what had been promised. I cannot recommend this service based on my experience.

I really cannot offer a single suggestion for improvement. I have been using Scribbr for three years as I work on my master's degree, and I have used two different citation formats, and it has never let me down

I have used Scribbr for my MSc and now my PhD, and I cannot express how much I love it. Everyone else told me to use the other big referencing tools, and I just couldn't get on with them. I found Scribbr and honestly have not looked back. It is simple to use, delivers excellent results, and, as a bonus, has really excellent articles to help me understand how to structure different chapters of my academic writing. Plus it is FREE! Honestly, I recommend it to everyone, and I would not use anything else; it is fantastic.

I've been using Scribbr since undergrade and I have never been let down. Now that I'm obtaining my MA, I love that they provide a free up-to-date and accurate APA 7 citation generator. I have never had an issue with my reference pages when using Scribbr.

I use this website all the time for my master’s papers. They use APA, and I have had no mistakes from this site! I will continue to use this from now on.

Very specific and constructive feedback. A professional approach—in short, a very pleasant experience.
