They are very deceptive! Sent an email to me asking if I wanted to renew with a link to push which I did not go to the link but they continued to charge. Customer service not at all helpful after wait... See more

Stay away from Chegg. All I can tell you is the results are mid and the customer service / website access when trying to cancel you subscription is worse; you will see messages like this > "Orders M... See more

Chegg used to be very good for helping with schoolwork until they replaced human experts with Chegg AI. I don't know if they realize but we ALL have access to ChatGPT, why are we paying to get ChatGPT... See more

It can be pretty bad when you have to ask a question 3-4 times to finally get someone that knows how to answer it correctly and it still counts as 4 separate questions asked. I asked how to solve one... See more

They make it next to impossible for you to remove your card details

I wanted to cancel my subscription but without any prompting they offered me a "pause" option where I would no longer have to pay the monthly subscription until I needed the service again and could start it up again when I needed it.
This sounded like the idea option until they started requesting payments from my bank account.
I tried to contact them on their chat but as soon as I said it was for an account deletion \ cancellation they put me on hold and left me there ignoring any further messages, I tried to contact them on Twitter but all the replies to other people contact them on twitter Chegg Help directs them to Chegg contact us portal which is the very chat portal where they are ignoring me.
Easy to sign up but nearly impossible to leave
It would have been zero stars if that had been an option

don't buy

I bought a subscription to see the answer to my problem and I got the same wrong solution that any AI does. Don't buy this garbage, it's better to just use AI in this case...

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. I thought I had bought a $50 Amazon book on Chegg for $40. Yay me, I got a deal! Wrong. Apparently I rented it? Then end up having to pay nearly double what the book was worth as I had given it to a friend who is starting school next May. They hadn’t even used it yet! Who rents a $50 book for $40 and then is charged fees that end up being over the purchase price? After that I had to go through the most extensive steps to delete my account that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Why such hardcore security to delete an account to “rent” a book? If I wanted to rent a book, I would go to the library and get it for free. This was the worst experience.

I just used chegg when doing a huge assignment

I just used chegg when doing an assignment and used the answers it gave me instead of trusting my gut because I thought i was wrong. Well i was not wrong and every single answer chegg gave me was wrong. I am not even a little kidding when i say to use chatgpt instead of this awful shitty absurdity of a website

Doubled in cost in one year

Doubled in cost in one year. Quality has plummeted. Waiting 5 minutes for a question to load when you are paying €22 a month is a joke. Also page is covered in ads. What exactly are we paying for?

17/100 Correct Answers...

I just submitted roughly 100 questions to be answered. I simply want to know if anyone can answer the questions or not because the "professionals" I have had responding to my questions are clueless. They sound like a 4th grader first off on half of my questions. Second off out of 100 questions 17 were right... 17. Just don't even have someone answer them if they are wrong. Simply have chegg say we can't answer this or something because receiving false answers from under-qualified pros doesn't help at all. Im proud to say I will have another 15$ a month now though that my subscription is cancelled so its a good day!

garbage website

these goofy mfs charge to read an answer for a quiz question, which is the most braindead thing i've ever seen, atp ur better off using chatgpt than trying to navigate this website since it seems like their entire team has a collective of 3 shared braincells between them, and also i hope whoever pitched their business strategy got a perma-ban from linkedin so no one has to put up with their s***, honestly, wouldn't wish being that guy's employer on my worst enemy.

Be aware!!!

I first heard about this company when I saw unauthorized transaction from my account that was stopped by my bank.
I googled them and I surly never bought anything from them.

If I could give a negative review for…

If I could give a negative review for them I would. We went online to cancel the account and it turns out that they have been charging me for months. When I phoned customer service they said they had another account under a different email. So basically they were charging me twice for a service that was not being used. The customer service is terrible and the product itself did not help either. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

It used to be good

It used to be good. There is another tool now that's wrecking it. Its called Thinkit by RudraAI. Their Rudra-S model is just crazy good. Go try it out.

TERRIBLE

terrible website
the answers aren't legible (handwritten with bad handwriting) and their "30 day free trial" is a complete lie.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE

DO NOT SIGN UP

DO NOT SIGN UP! You won't get access to anything, they'll just demand you pay a subscription fee to finally access the content. No where was I told prior I would have to pay to view the content, I was told I had to sign up to access the content. Deceptive, and you then have to fill in a whole form to delete your account. Just don't bother.

Scam

Scam, stay away. First of all the responses are bad, and you can’t find so much help here. Second and most important, they are thieves, watch out. After opening a subscription and canceling it on the very same day, 6 months later my subscription is started again fraudulous :) currently trying to figure out a chargeback with my bank, please stay away and don’t this company that doesn’t see a problem in stealing people’s money
