Are Professional Editors Worth the Cost

I’m nearing the end of my manuscript and weighing my publishing options. I keep wondering whether professional book editing services truly make a difference compared to beta readers or basic proofreading. I want my book to feel polished and credible, but I’m unsure if the investment pays off in the long run. For authors who have already published, did professional editing improve reader engagement, reviews, or sales enough to justify the cost?
