Line-by-line annotation

Indicative ranges based on how statements typically read against admissions criteria, not a guarantee of any outcome.
There are four realistic ways to get your statement reviewed. Here is the honest comparison.
| Turnaround | Cost | Depth of feedback | Writes it for you? | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Statementory | 5–10 minutes | £7.49 | Score + line-by-line + rewrites + plan | Never (zero AI-detection risk) |
| Human editing services | 24h – 1 week | £40–£150+ | Varies by editor | Some rewrite for you (risky) |
| Teachers & advisers | Days, if available | Free | General feedback, rarely line-by-line | No |
| ChatGPT | Instant | Free | Generic praise, no admissions criteria | Will write it if asked (risky) |
Costs and turnarounds for third-party options are typical ranges at the time of writing and vary by provider.
UCAS requires your personal statement to be your own work, and universities increasingly screen for AI-written text. Services that rewrite your statement for you put your application at risk. Statementory is built the other way round: it reads what you wrote, scores it against admissions criteria, and shows you precisely how to improve it — so the final statement is stronger and still unmistakably yours.

“Honestly wasn't sure it'd tell me anything my teacher hadn't. But it pulled apart my opening line and explained why it was weak, which nobody else had. Rewrote it and ended up with offers from Durham and Exeter.”
Priya S.
Applied for Medicine, 2027 entry
“It basically said my whole statement was me listing things I'd done with zero reflection. Bit of a wake-up call tbh but it was right. Reads so much better now.”
James T.
Applied for Law, 2027 entry
“Used it the week before deadline when I was panicking. The score and the breakdown meant I knew what to fix first instead of just staring at it. Only wish I'd done it sooner.”

How fast is the review?
Your full report arrives in 5–10 minutes. Human editing services typically take between 24 hours and a week.
Does it write my statement for me?
No, deliberately. It reviews what you wrote and shows you how to improve it, so there is no AI-detection risk and your statement stays your own work, as UCAS requires.
What if my statement is for the new three-question format?
That is exactly what it is built for. Reviews assess each of the three UCAS questions for 2027 entry against admissions criteria.
What happens to my statement after the review?
It is used only to generate your report and then deleted from our systems. See our privacy policy for details.
What if the report is not useful?
Full refund, no argument. The guarantee exists because almost nobody uses it.
Most first drafts score 45–65. Russell Group offers typically follow statements at 72+.
