Although the service seems promising at first, GPALabs failed to impress us with the writing quality.
Check out top servicesGPALabs is an academic writing service that boasts over 10 years of experience in the writing industry. One of the first things you will notice about them is how modern their website looks, which we originally interpreted as definitely a good sign — when a company cares about its customers, it makes sure the website is pleasant to use.
The website contains plenty of information about the company and its services. For example, you can quickly find out that GPALabs provides all kinds of writing services, including essays, research papers, presentations, speeches, and dissertations. There are also some impressive stats, indicating that there are over 40,000 satisfied GPALabs customers.
There is a little piece of data stating that there are over 500 active writers currently available for your orders, but there is absolutely no information on who those writers are. The lack of any information about the writers made us think that the number of active writers might be exaggerated or not true at all.
GPA Labs employs a standard pricing model, which means you can instantly calculate the exact price of your order before placing it into the system. The price of the paper depends on factors like your academic level, deadline, and page count. The lowest price we could find was $10 per page for a high school essay with a 14-day deadline, which is slightly more expensive than the price many other writing services offer, although it is still considerably lower than today’s market average.
If you want more information on how your order was created and the writer’s working process, you can opt for the Smart Paper feature for +20% to your order price.
Want to know if the writer’s style, vocabulary, and skills are a good match for your writing needs? For $5, you can request up to 3 samples of the writer’s past works to test their proficiency.
In case you want your references to be as complete as possible — for example, if you want to do some additional reading — you can request a copy of all sources used for your paper for $14.95.
If your order has more than 5 days before the deadline and is worth more than $200, you can opt for progressive delivery. You will get your paper chapter by chapter and will pay for it in installments.
To give you a fair review of the paper quality at GPALabs, we placed a test order that was, in our opinion fairly easy for an experienced writer — it was a 3-page college essay with a 7-day deadline on a popular subject. We had no problems whatsoever with the ordering process, and while the system tried to convince us to purchase additional features, we were satisfied to see the order total come up instantly instead of having to wait for it like we did with some other services.
When we received the finished paper, which happened just before the deadline, at first we were impressed with the overall look and formatting. The writer did a nice reference list, so we had high expectations for the rest of the paper. Imagine our surprise when we read the first page and quickly suspected that the paper was not written by a native English speaker. The language, the sentence structure, and the use of terms was nowhere near the requested college level.
GPA Lab does not have a dedicated section of the website describing the guarantees, but you can find some of them in the FAQ section:
There are plenty of GPALabs essay services reviews on the company’s official website, which are mostly positive and constantly praise the service. The testimonials include the date, customer’s ID, and the type of the paper that was completed by GPALabs. It is all done to make the reviews look more genuine and personal, but we are not fully convinced that this is the case. You could easily fake these testimonials, which is why we take them with a grain of salt.
Searching for GPALabs reviews on third-party websites reveals a different picture. Only about ⅓ of the customers we have met online are happy with the services done for them by GPA Labs. There are several common complaints that can be spotted in numerous reviews. The most common one is the quality of writing. People reported getting low grades because of the inappropriate writing in the orders, or simply shared our belief that the papers at GPALabs may be done by someone with subpar English skills. Some customers also complained about the late delivery and refund problems.

We had fairly high expectations when starting our GPALabs review, but the subsequent investigation revealed a number of problems with the website. We did like the design of the company’s website and the fact that their prices are lower than average. However, the issues with the writing quality and the complicated refund process are too big of a problem to ignore. That is why we cannot recommend GPA Labs for your academic writing needs.
