Strengths

  • Trustpilot score at scale: 4.9/5 from 3,886 reviews — a far deeper corpus than most studios in this category can show, and the score has held at 4.9 while the count has climbed
  • Transparent fixed pricing: every package and add-on price is published before payment, on both the marketing page and the client-portal checkout, which agree on every overlapping item
  • Asset licensing documented: every order ships a document with source links and licence details for each image and font — the paperwork that protects an author against a KDP takedown
  • Post-delivery revision window: unlimited revisions until completion plus one month of free revisions afterwards
  • Late changes are free: page count, trim size, length and blurb text can be supplied after the order is finished at no extra charge — The Cover Collection bills £25 and Deranged Doctor Design $25 for the same change
  • Generous stock licence: unlimited ebook sales and up to 500,000 physical copies before an extended licence is needed

Limitations

  • You get a licence, not the artwork: the Terms state the company "retains copyright and ownership of all design and draft materials." Full payment buys a standard licence only — Miblart, TS95 and Creative Paramita all transfer more
  • Junior-designer staffing: the vendor states this itself. It is the honest explanation for a $10 cover, but authors who need a senior hand on a difficult brief should read it as a real constraint
  • "Unlimited revisions" has boundaries: it does not cover changing the direction or concept once work has started, adding extra images, or anything requested more than a month after completion — each of those is billed separately
  • The refund dies at approval: the 100% money-back guarantee is void "after the client has approved the design," so it protects you only up to sign-off
  • No source file below $35 unless you add it for $10, and no fully layered art at any price — the Premium PSD is flattened with editable text only
  • Won't touch another designer's work: GetCovers declines covers designed by other freelancers or companies except for formatting, typography, and back cover/spine work. This also gates the animated-cover line, which needs a source file it will only work from if the cover is its own
  • Published turnaround is inconsistent: the package cards say 4–5 days, the FAQ says 1–3, and the checkout URLs say 2–3. The tier cards are the figure closest to checkout and the one used here
  • Illustration is quote-only: the Terms still price an illustrated cover line (hand-drawn art, source file, first sketch in 5–7 days), but its dedicated page now redirects to the homepage and no price is published anywhere
  • Promotional codes are stale marketing furniture: the homepage ran an Easter code "valid till April 6th" and the cover page advertised "Black Friday bundles" — both in August 2026, and the bundle cards discount ~30% while the code claims 20%. Treat list prices as the real prices
  • Portfolio rights are automatic: the company reserves the right to use your finished cover, name and book title in its portfolio and marketing, with no stated opt-out

GetCovers sells custom book covers at some of the lowest fixed prices in the industry, starting at $10 for an ebook cover, with a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating across 3,886 reviews. It is based in Ukraine — two offices near the western border — and works entirely in-house with no marketplace outsourcing. The company is candid about how the price is achieved: its About page says it staffs "in-house junior designers" and invests in training them. GetCovers is part of the Miblgroup family of brands, alongside the mid-market studio Miblart.

What You Get

Three tiers, all including unlimited revisions, a 3D mockup, and a licence-details document naming every image and font used:

  • Basic — $10: Ebook cover only, 1 licensed image/font, 4-day turnaround. No back cover or spine, no print-ready file, no source file
  • Standard — $20: Adds back cover and spine plus a print-ready file, 2 licensed images/fonts, 4-day turnaround. Still no source file
  • Premium — $35: Adds the source file and 3–5 licensed images/fonts, 5-day turnaround — the only tier that ships a PSD as standard
  • Rush delivery: +$10 on any tier for 1-business-day turnaround
  • Source file: the Premium PSD is flattened with separate editable text, not fully layered art. Basic and Standard can add it at checkout for $10 — so a $20 Standard plus $10 gets both the print wrap and the PSD for $5 less than Premium, which instead buys 3–5 licensed images rather than 2
  • Add-ons (checkout): back cover & spine $10 · ACX audiobook cover $5 · custom 3D mockup $15 · title page $5 · box set $25 · bookmark $20 · social media or website banner $20 · ad image $15 · cover reveal image $20 · book release image $20 · dust jacket flaps $10 · paperback/hardback platform optimization $5 · flyer $15 · additional concept $25 (Premium)
  • Marketing materials bundle: $55 list on top of any tier (3D mockup, cover reveal or book release banner, ad image, social banner), which is what makes the advertised $65/$75/$90 bundle cards
  • Animated covers: a separate line at $50 / $55 / $60 (2 / 3 / 4 revisions, 5 days, 15–25 seconds). Note the checkout also sells a "cover (poster) animation" at $120 — GetCovers reconciles the two prices nowhere, so confirm which product you are buying before paying
  • Other lines: audiobook covers on the same $10–$35 ladder, logo design $10–$40, standalone marketing materials $15–$45, Kindle Vella covers, movie posters

Who It's For

  • Budget-conscious authors: $10–$35 removes the financial barrier to a professionally designed cover, and the Trustpilot corpus is large enough to be meaningful at this price
  • Authors publishing multiple books: flat per-cover pricing with no volume minimums, and order forms that accept 1–10+ covers at once — though note there is no series or bulk discount published anywhere
  • Authors with tight deadlines: 4–5 day standard turnaround with a $10 one-day rush option

Pricing: Basic $10 (ebook only), Standard $20 (ebook + print wrap), Premium $35 (adds source file and 3–5 licensed assets). Rush +$10. Pre-payment for all work via PayPal or Stripe. The vendor's own FAQ puts the average order at $25–$35 once add-ons are included.
