Exceptional Customer Support – A Real Human Who Actually Helps

I have been using PERLA for over a decade, and it has consistently been an excellent product that has supported my academic work for many years.

What continues to stand out is their customer service. When I recently reached out for assistance, Rachael responded quickly and provided outstanding support. The interaction was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful.

Equally important, it was refreshing to communicate with a real person who was attentive and engaged rather than an automated system. That level of responsiveness and human support makes a real difference.

After more than ten years using PERLA, I can confidently say both the product and the support behind it are exceptional. Highly recommended.

Nothing can top this experience.

These people are amazing! The effort the tech support put in has been by far the best I have ever received for computer/technical issues. They were very accommodating and helped in any way they could. They even contacted me to help out when the problem wasn't theirs to fix. Unbelievable is an understatement.

PERLLA has been an absolute lifesaver. This software single-handedly saved my APA formatting—and honestly, my grades. What used to be constant stress (citations, reference pages, margins, headings… all of it) is now effortless. PERLLA makes APA formatting incredibly easy and accurate every time. I no longer worry about failing grades due to formatting errors, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend to anyone writing in APA!

Great Program

I was so happy this program was recommended to me. It helped me to write all my papers in a concise manner and my stored references was very helpful. It helped me write my papers in the appropriate way and to put the reference in the right layout. I had a question regarding the paper format and the individual working on the help line was very knowledgeable and gave step-by-step instructions. He was also very friendly and made sure I was comfortable with the setup before he ended the call.

I highly recommend Perrla. It takes a lot of the stress out of writing all the papers your professor assigns. I was an older student, who had been out of the classroom for many years. It helped me feel more confident when writing my assignments and I was less nervous submitting them.

Highly recommend PERRLA!

I have been using PERRLA during my graduate program. This program has been a lifesaver, making it much easier and less time-consuming to write APA-style papers. I am very appreciative of this software!

As a R/N at a major metropolitan hospital PERRLA made my school work manageable. APA formatting is something that was very challenging for me. The classes required me to submit written assignments that required references for all my sources of information. The software program was a dream come true. I was able to complete assignments early if not on time and made graduating possible for a BSN. PERRLA is better than coffee!

PERRLA - Every student and business professional needs this platform!

I have been a Perrla member for several years now and I absolutely love the services. So very helpful and thorough. I enjoy the newsletters most, believe it or not. I can honestly say that this platform has improved my writing skills and dare I say, helped me to successfully achieve my MA. Working on my PhD now and would not do it without the help of the Perrla team!

Stupendous Software

Stupendous customer service when I have an issue. I love how easy it makes formatting my papers since I have so little time to be arguing with my word processing software the way it thinks it knows better for how I want things. Super easy to use, fabulous job formatting into what I need.

Saved my GPA in Undergrad, Now It’s My #1 Recommendation for Students

I graduated back in 2022 with a double major in Communication Studies and History, so my life basically revolved around writing papers. Honestly, PERRLA was the only reason I kept my sanity with that workload. I was constantly having to flip between APA style for my Comm classes and Chicago style for History, and having a tool that just handled the formatting automatically saved me so much time. It was such a relief to just focus on the writing and not stress about losing points over margins or a misplaced comma in a bibliography.

Even though I’ve graduated, I still swear by it. I serve as an advisor for my sorority now, and I recommend PERRLA to all the collegiate sisters I advise (and the other advisors, too!). It’s the first thing I tell them to download because it makes the transition to college-level writing so much less painful.

I do not know what I would have done without PERRLA during my Master's and Doctoral journey. If you don't have this software, get it! I used PERRLA to format my 200+ page dissertation. PERRLA is one of the best programs out there.

Lost but found.

I had lost some information for a very important research paper for my BA degree, and PERRLA customer service saved the day. They retrieved the original paper for me quickly. I will continue to use the great resource. PERRLA has been very helpful with my APA papers and my History papers.

Perrla has honestly been a lifesaver for APA and MLA formatting. It takes care of all the little rules that are easy to mess up, like margins, headings, and reference pages, so I don’t have to stress about them.

Citations are way easier with Perrla too. It walks you through in-text citations and references step by step, which saves so much time and helps make sure everything is actually correct. I feel a lot more confident turning in papers knowing the formatting isn’t going to cost me points.

If formatting and citations stress you out, Perrla makes it simple and way less overwhelming.

PERRLA has been a lifesaver for writing papers. The APA formatting alone saves so much time and stress, especially when you’re juggling deadlines and multiple assignments. It helps keep everything organized and formatted correctly, which lets me focus more on my actual content instead of worrying about margins, headings, and citations. If you’re a student who writes in APA, this app is 100% worth it

Absolute Game Changer.

I used PERRLA for both my Bachelor's and Masters degrees. PERRLA made writing a paper so easy. I didn't have to worry about formatting or citations, I just had to write. Now that references are kept on the cloud, my references are available anywhere. It's a life changer and easily takes hours off of formatting a paper and making sure your sources are cited correctly.
