Any economics homework help sites?

Hey folks, I’ve got a couple economics assignments coming up — mostly short essays and problem sets — and I’m wondering if anyone knows solid websites or services that can actually help with this kind of stuff? Open to both paid and free options, just looking for something that actually works.
 
You might want to check out Chegg Study if you haven’t already. It’s a subscription ($14.95/month), but it gives you access to textbook solutions and lets you ask up to 20 questions. I’ve used it to get step-by-step explanations for econ problems—especially helpful with supply and demand graph questions.
 
Yeah, Chegg helped me a lot during my intermediate micro class. I mostly used it for theory — stuff like cost curves and elasticity. The answers aren’t always tailored to your prof’s language, but it’s great for reviewing how to approach a problem;).
 
If you need concept-level help, I’d recommend StudyMonkey. It’s an AI tutor — not perfect, but it can break down definitions and walk you through graphs or formulas. I’ve used it for practice quizzes and to explain things like GDP deflators or price floors. It’s not a human tutor, but better than scrolling through your textbook at 2 a.m.

I tried StudyMonkey too — decent for review. I still prefer human feedback when I’m writing, though. For one of my econ essays, I used EduBirdie. It cost me about $45 for a 900-word response. I didn’t just submit it — I rewrote most of the intro and conclusion to sound more like me. But it helped organize the content.
 
Same — I’ve used EduBirdie once, for a comparative economic systems paper. The writer followed the outline I gave and hit all the points I needed. Paid around $48. It wasn’t plug-and-play, but it saved me from blank-page syndrome. Just don’t rely on it too much — It’s there to support, not replace you.
 
Has anyone tried CourseHero? I got a subscription for finals week — it was around $10 for one month, and I used it to check uploaded assignments and quizzes from similar econ courses. Kind of like getting access to someone else’s notes. Not for full answers, but good for structure.
 
@Malachi Odonnell Reddit's definitely underrated. I once got an entire breakdown of marginal utility calculations from a grad student just hanging out in the comments. That said, don’t count on it for last-minute help. It’s more like asking a smart classmate who may or may not be online.
 
Honestly, sometimes we forget the most obvious option: just asking your professor or TA. Last semester, I emailed my TA about a question on Nash equilibrium, and instead of brushing me off, he sent a scanned copy of an old quiz with annotated answers. Super useful. A few weeks later I asked my professor about IS-LM models, and he pointed me to a specific section in a working paper he published — saved me hours of Googling. I wish I’d started asking earlier.
 
I’m bookmarking all of this — seriously appreciate the range of responses. I think I’ll start with Chegg for problem sets and maybe use EduBirdie for one of my shorter essays next week. Reddit and CourseHero sound like great backups too. Also going to try office hours again — haven’t done that since freshman year. I’ll definitely make sure to review and rewrite anything I get from outside help — no point risking my grade or academic integrity. Hopefully after a few of these, it starts to feel a little less overwhelming.
