I spend a lot of time researching online markets, AI tools, digital platforms, student services, and the hidden business systems behind them. I have learned that the online essay-writing industry is one of the most confusing and misleading areas on the internet. Many companies look clean on the surface, but behind the scenes, they work in ways students never see.
One website that students often encounter is EssayPro.com. On the surface, EssayPro looks professional, safe, and student-friendly. The website looks modern, the messages are clear, and it promises things like “professional writers,” “100% original work,” “high grades,” and “fast delivery.”
But once you look a little deeper, the picture changes completely. EssayPro is not what it appears to be. It is more complex, more hidden, and much riskier than most students expect.
Because EssayPro is not just one website. It’s part of a bigger system controlled by a parent company most people have never heard of: Develux Inc., and this is exactly where the trap begins.
When students visit EssayPro, they assume they are using an independent service. They think the essay-writing market has hundreds of companies competing with each other.
But EssayPro is not independent at all. It belongs to a large network of academic writing sites quietly owned and operated by Develux.
After studying their digital fingerprints — shared hosting, IP groups, similar user interfaces, matching writer databases, and the same payment system — the connection becomes very clear.
Develux controls several major writing brands, such as:
These sites pretend to be competitors, but they are all part of the same company.
For students, this means their choice is fake. No matter which site they pick, the same company earns money.
This is the first layer of the trap—students feel like they are choosing safely, but every option is connected.
When a single company owns many brands, normal competition disappears. Here’s why that is harmful:
1. Prices can stay high
If a company owns multiple sites, it can set high prices without losing customers. The “competition” is just itself.
2. Bad reviews don’t matter
If EssayPro gets complaints, Develux can push students to EssayService or DoMyEssay. Same writers, same backend, just a different logo.
3. Students can’t compare properly
Review websites treat these brands as separate, but they are all the same company under different names.
4. No real responsibility
If there is a bad essay, plagiarism, or late delivery, the company can hide behind another brand and keep going.
This whole system is not built to help students. It is built to get as many orders as possible, across as many websites as possible. Develux’s network is made for high volume, repeated traffic, and SEO, not for real education.
The homepage of EssayPro makes you feel like you are dealing with:
But behind the scenes, the process is nothing like what the website shows. Many EssayPro writers are not vetted the way the site claims.
Across Develux platforms, writer profiles often use:
There is no guarantee the assigned writer knows the subject well.
Bidding seems like you are in control. Students think they are picking the best writer. But most bids come from the same pool of freelancers across all Develux sites.
Quality varies a lot. Writers focus on speed, not academic quality. The system gives the feeling of choice, but it is actually controlled.
Students often do not think about this until it is too late. Buying an essay from a service like this—especially one that reuses writers across multiple sites—can lead to:
Schools now use tools like:
Essay mills are not keeping up. Students face the consequences.
One reason EssayPro (and other Develux brands) appear at the top in Google searches is because of fake review websites working for them.
These websites act as:
But in reality, their main job is to promote Develux brands.
Examples include:
These sites pretend to warn students about other services. But they always give top ratings to EssayPro, EssayHub, or EssayService.
This is not real review work. It is marketing disguised as advice. Students think they are reading trustworthy reviews, but they are reading hidden advertisements.
Develux also manipulates Google to stay at the top of search results. They do this by:
1. Doorway pages
Many thin, keyword-focused pages target universities, degrees, and subjects. They exist to rank, not to help students.
2. Interlinked networks
Review sites link to service sites, and service sites link back. This creates a loop of traffic. Google sees many backlinks and gives a higher ranking.
3. Paid promotions disguised as reviews
Many “best essay service” lists online are affiliate sites. Their goal is to convert clicks into sales, not to give honest information.
This creates an online environment where more manipulation = higher Google ranking = more students trapped.
From my research, students trust EssayPro because:
1. The website looks professional
It has a clean design, colors, and friendly writer profiles.
2. Fake reviews increase trust
Even though these reviews are not independent.
3. Prices seem fair
Because the “competition” is also owned by Develux.
4. Testimonials look real
Many are recycled or AI-written.
5. Students search while stressed
When someone is panicking at 2 a.m. with a deadline, their critical thinking drops.
It’s not that students are careless. The system is designed to feel safe until it is too late.
The trap works like this:
The student thinks they made a safe choice. But they are already inside a controlled system.
EssayPro appears friendly and helpful. But behind the branding is a high-volume essay business made for:
Until the essay-writing industry stops hiding behind layers of deception, EssayPro and the Develux network will continue trapping students who just wanted help, not problems.
