Transparent editing prices

Our Pricing Perspective

Transparent editing prices

With ServiceScape, pricing is clear and simple. Each editor’s profile displays their rates, so you can understand the cost upfront and choose a service that fits your budget. We believe in a transparent pricing approach—rates are based solely on your selected due date, not the subject matter, your writing proficiency, or the level of editing required. That means no complicated, multi-tiered pricing systems—just one consistent rate tied to your deadline.
