"Was slow to get job applications, and the $200 fee was a surprise"

1/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

I posted a job under the free trial for copywriting services. I also posted a job with Upwork at the same time. Within a couple of hours, I have several great applicants through Upwork. After a few days passing with no applicants from Scripted, I unsuccessfully tried to remove the job posting from Scripted so I left the job posting alone and moved on, forgetting about the fact that I was in a trial. I received no email notices that I had been billed $200 when my trials ended. When our accountant made me aware of this charge, I reached out to support to request a refund, seeing as to how I never actually benefitted from the platform. I understand that I clicked through screens with fine print about a $200 charge apparently, but I would expect Support to give me a refund. Instead, I had an overall poor experience with receiving applicants from the platform, and the platform's Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Quality Content with Options"

4/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

For the last couple years, we've outsourced several blog articles to Scripted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

We've been working with Scripted for a couple years now, and they have a network of truly good writers. I'm a writer myself who simply doesn't have time to produce all the content we need written, so it's nice to be able to rely on Scripted writers to consistently deliver excellent articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

There have been some hiccups in communication and errors with new upgrades to the site, but I feel the Scripted team has worked hard to try and fix those issues and make sure we're satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scripted.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not enough time to write content ourselves. We get great articles at a fair price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wrote for these clowns - AVOID"

0/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

I was trying out different writing platforms. They reminded me why professional writers avoid content farms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

Nothing. Absolute clown show. They are unprofessional, their platform is badly put together, and they take forever to pay writers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Place to Work as a Freelancer or Supplement Business Income"

5/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

I have only used Scripted as a writer provided services for their clients. Many of my clients are repeat customers or those who have been referred to me by Scripted staff. This allows me to have ongoing relationships with great clients to who I'm pleased to provide quality services to meet their business and marketing needs. My goal for joining Scripted as a writer was to build up my online credibility and published writing samples as well as to supplement my small business income for when things were going slower than anticipated. At times, Scripted is my only source of income, and it allows me the flexibility to work around my schedule while working remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

I love Scripted as a writer because I can pick and choose the projects to write as well as set my own rate. If you're a reliable, favored and quality writer, then Scripted staff will often invite you to bid on specific projects and/or directly assign you to projects. It's important to have a detailed profile so that they know your areas of expertise and interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

I really haven't had any complaints about Scripted. Their process is more than fair - writers can set their own prices and bid on projects of their choosing. Sometimes, the editing process takes a long time, which requires you to check the website frequently (I haven't been able to figure out how to get notified when something needs to be revised - this is something I just haven't taken the time to contact support about). Other than that, initially, I didn't like the fact that you had to wait several weeks to receive payment on completed projects; however, they have just come up with a reward system so that writers who maintain the top tier can receive payment immediately without waiting. I really like the new feature that they implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scripted.com:

Anyone from beginners to experts can benefit from using Scripted as long as they're writing is top-notch. It's a great way to connect with a wide range of clients in many industries without having to pay astronomical fees or subscriptions. There never seems to be a lack of quality and good-paying projects to bid on as seen on many freelance platforms. I haven't experienced the client-side of Scripted, but I can tell you that many that I have worked with keep coming back for more on a regular basis. Not everyone is accepted to write for Scripted, so clients can be confident that their jobs will be handled by the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scripted.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scripted has helped me to connect me with clients in an easier and cheaper way than if I went out and tried to find clients on my own. The web platform is set up so that I can easily search through projects and decide on ones that I'd like to pitch. The pitching process is simple, straightforward and relatively easy with the flexibility to approach projects the way a writer likes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wouldn't refund any money after not using the platform for 7 months"

0/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

Looking into their platform to see if it would suit my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

The concept is good and it looked like a good service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

They take your credit card for a free trial, first of all, which I think is shady to begin with. When the trial was about to expire, I DID receive an email saying the trial was expiring but I must have missed it. The company then proceeded to bill my credit card $200/month for 7 months without a single invoice or payment receipt being sent to me. When I asked for a refund, they could clearly see that I have never used the platform and refused to give me ANY refund at all. Not happy and I feel like this is a horrible way to do business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scripted.com:

I wouldn't recommend them because they don't like treating people fairly and are clearly out for their own gain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scripted.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

None Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
