"Excellent opportunity to build your writing business"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

Scripted is a great platform that allows freelance writers to generate income from their wordsmithery skills. Clients are made up of many tech and digital marketing providers, along with a diverse range of other opportunities. Their process is fair and based on putting in the work to win the clients. When you do, you'll build a solid reputation and earn well. Their rates are the best around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Scripted.com is that you can set your own rates, and work remotely to deliver writing to the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Place To Work"

5/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

As a freelancer, I love working with Scripted. I get paid on time, the pay is excellent, and the work is fun. For those who stated the pay was low, perhaps they were new because veterans make a very competitive rate. Scripted is my full-time employment and I couldn't be happier with their interaction, clients, and pay scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

The pay, the clients, and the ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Low Quality Writing, Even Worse Customer Service"

0/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

I needed an article written about content marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

I do like that you get access to several proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

I disliked the entire process, their UI, their customer service, their writing quality. Here's what happened. It was my first time ordering an article from them. I received several proposals. I chose the one that sounded the best. The best part of the whole thing was the proposal itself. The article, when it came through, was poorly written, poorly formatted, not at all researched. It was going to cost about $300 for a fluff piece. So I was going to reject the article. I got an email saying I could reject it up to a certain date. Great. On that date, I went to reject it and it had processed my payment and automatically accepted the article. Turns out that there was somewhere that said I had to accept it by 9AM. And it was now 1pm. So I emailed them and said hey this was my first time using this, i was going to reject the article, but didnt realize I had to do it by a certain time, could I please reject it, return it and get a refund. After many (5+) emails back and forth, the representative was short, and it was a no go. I ended up rejecting the article (ie, NOT GETTING OR USING THE ARTICLE AT ALL) and being charged 300 bucks. I will never try them again or recommend them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scripted.com:

My advice is stay as far away as possible. Their business practices are shady and desperate. If they had refunded me I would have tried them again and possibly spent 10s of 1000s with them. Instead, they kept my $300 and I'll never be back or recommend. And I'm pretty well connected in the content marketing space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem I was trying to solve was to outsource content. I would have used this service extensively had I had a better first experience with them because the problem they solve is actually one that I had and still have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, it was extremely disappointing and I feel like I was a victim of a scam Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

DO NOT DO THE TRIAL - they will automatically charge you and will not refund even on zero activity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scripted.com:

Stay away, scam and not quality service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Perfect Home for Writers Who Want to Focus on Writing"

5/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

I have been writing for Scripted since 2014, and I have never had a bad experience. The beauty of this platform is that I can focus on writing - my primary (and really only) interest. I don't have to market, mess with setting rates and chasing payments, and the technology is there and ready to go. The Scripted Account Managers do a great job attracting and retaining high-quality clients, and the support staff is second-to-none. I can count on fast resolutions to any issues that come up. All in all, a perfect 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

No need to deal with the money side - payments magically appear in my account on-time, every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

I don't really have any complaints. The expectations are clear and fair - on-time, high-quality work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scripted.com:

Pay attention to feedback and areas of expertise for the writers you select for your project. The only clients I have ever heard complaints from started with writers who lacked experience in their industry, so the job wasn't initially completed to their satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love to write, and I enjoy having a flexible second job. Scripted makes that simple - when and how much work I do is up to me, and the Scripted folks handle all of the logistics of running a business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Once a great service that has unfortunately turned to deceptive business practices"

0/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

We used Scripted for over 4 years to curate posts for our small business blog Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

I liked the blog idea section which they removed this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

The entirely new operating platform they sprung on us 3 months after we signed an annual contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used Scripted for years and was always happy with their service, then they pushed us to sign up for an annual contract, saying it would save us money and we'd get free blogs (which wasn't true, it's a credit that barely covers the cost of one blog) and then three months later they changed their entire platform, turning what took 15 minutes in the past into a 1-2 week process. While maybe for some other companies the new process is better, for our purposes (mostly the removal of the blog ideas section) it was a complete nightmare. We tried it for another few months, but not only did the cost of each blog increase significantly, the quality also diminished greatly. Now they won't refund us for the rest of our annual contract for a service we're never going to use. We feel we were completely duped by Scripted. We would've never signed up for an annual contract had they told us they were going to change their entire platform three months after, and I'm sure they planned it that way.

"High-quality content from skilled experts in their fields "

5/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

Since 2013 I've utilized the Scripted platform to fulfill a wide variety writing projects, including hundreds of long-form blog posts on the topics of data science, business intelligence, SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, machine learning, Tableau Server, Periscope Data, Mobile App development, SDKs, a wide variety of coding languages, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, complex legal topics, environmental science, public relations, marketing, the list goes on.

More recently the pieces have been heavy in the tech, data science, business intelligence, SQL and developer space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

Very clean, high-quality content and highly experienced writers who know the ins and outs of tech, data science, coding and law. I've been impressed to find writers who skillfully produce content on specialized topics in the tech, data science and app development fields.

The client reps are kind, ready to help and communicative to ensure the writing guidelines are clear and precise. I'm impressed with the variety of experts they have in their pool of writers -- and their flexibility to produce high-quality content with a much faster turnaround than other services I've used.

Before finding Scripted I've worked with a lot of other content platforms, but none of them delivered Scripted's level of organization and quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

Nothing. Any time edits or rewrites were needed the Scripted staff were quick to respond and get the feedback required to get the content up to speed. Very satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scripted.com:

Tell the writers if you want any special requests. These guys are pros, and they'll surprise you what they can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I run into a lot of content bottlenecks. A lot of content needs to get written *fast*. When deadlines pile up, I find myself spending a lot of time on Scripted. The platform allows me to get all the content written and done the way I want it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible service and poor customer experience. Avoid!"

0/5

Describe the project or task Scripted.com helped with:

We signed up with Scripted.com in April to try to expand our content production capabilities and outsource part of it. It was a terrible experience, we had to rewrite every collateral from scratch (one draft looked like it was written by a bot). We requested cancellation, but they didn't comply. We realized 3 months later that they were still charging our card and refused to refund us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scripted.com?

Nothing, we regretted signing up for this service. We cancelled after 2 months but they charged us for five (they kept our subscription alive even after cancellation). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scripted.com?

- Really poor content: on the first piece that we requested, we sent a few paragraph with what we would like the writer to cover. His first draft was literally our overview with a few generic words added.

- Charged us after cancellation: we requested cancellation in July. After submitting the request, they offer us 2 free month to see if we would return. At the end of the two months, they restarted charging the credit card without notice or confirmation. We realized it 3 months later.

- Poor customer service: their support person (John) refused to refund us, even though he could see that we submitted request of cancellation and that we never used it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scripted.com:

Avoid if you don't want to end up with poor quality content and be charged even after you submit the cancellation request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
