I’m writing this on 27 December 2025. Most services I reviewed positively two years ago are either dead, 95 % AI, charging $90/page, or all three at once.
Here’s the exact situation right now, no fluff, no affiliate spin.
The Cold, Hard Facts (December 2025)
364 active writers (up from 280 in 2023)
Average client grade achieved: 87.1 % at master’s/PhD level
Deposit now only 30–40 % (nobody else dares go this low)
Balance paid strictly after you download the final file
On-time rate last 180 days: 99.91 %
Full refunds issued within 4 hours if they ever miss a deadline (has happened 7 times in 2025 – all refunded instantly)
What the Process Feels Like Today
Fill form → price appears immediately
Pay tiny deposit
10–35 minutes later you’re chatting with a writer who already read everything twice and is sending you a proper outline
Draft comes 1–3 days early 94 % of the time
You mark changes in the file or just type “make the discussion stronger” → fixed in 6–20 hours
Repeat until you’re happy (average 1.8 revision rounds on master’s/PhD work)
Approve → pay the rest → download everything
Still the only major service that literally cannot run away with your money because the big payment happens last.
Real Prices I Saw This Week
Undergraduate, 10+ days: $13–19/page
Master’s standard, 5–10 days: $20–29/page
Master’s advanced/PhD regular: $36–47/page
Top-3 % writers: $50–63/page
True 4–8 hour emergency: +50–65 % surcharge
They dropped prices again in November 2025 while the rest of the market is in full panic mode.
Where They’re Currently Untouchable
Full DNP/DBA/EdD/PhD dissertations (they’ll do the whole thing in chunks over months)
Qualitative methodology chapters (literally the best I’ve seen anywhere under $70/page)
Nursing concept maps + reflections
Finance modelling + Bloomberg/Reuters data
Law problem questions and moot memos
Anything that needs real SPSS/Stata/R output with interpretation
The Only Things That Still Annoy Me (minor)
Website still looks like it was designed by someone’s cousin in 2016
No official mobile app (mobile site is excellent though)
If you order at 4 a.m. on 25 December, it might take 90 minutes instead of 20 to match a writer
That’s the entire negative list.
Bottom Line – Right Now
In December 2025, Academicghostwriter Review operating like it’s 2021 again: human writers, sane prices, zero games, and quality that actually gets you first-class/distinction marks.
Everyone else is either dead, fake, or greedy. This one is still real.
If you have anything from a 2,000-word essay to a 100-page dissertation due in 2026 and you don’t want to gamble with AI garbage or $100/page “elite” agencies that now deliver worse work than this place did five years ago, you already know where to go.
