What our research says

ATSFriendly

The scanner is the honest part of this product: it names the keywords and skills a job description wants and your resume lacks, which is specific enough to act on. The editor and cover-letter generator are ordinary GPT-4 wrappers. Read the pricing framing carefully - the $7.99 headline requires paying three months up front, and the site says outright that there is no trial.

Pros

  • Scores against a pasted job description rather than giving a generic resume grade
  • Breaks results into keyword, skills, experience, education, verb-choice and searchability checks
  • Re-scan after edits is included on paid plans, so you can iterate toward a higher score
  • Free plan is genuinely usable for a couple of applications a week

Cons

  • The $7.99 rate requires a $23.99 quarterly prepay; monthly billing is $9.99
  • The FAQ states plainly that no trial period is offered
  • The operator is a New Mexico LLC per the about page, yet the terms are governed by Sri Lankan law
  • Compatibility scores come from the vendor's own model, not from how Workday or Greenhouse actually behave

Enhancv

One of the better-designed resume builders, and the ATS check plus job-ad tailoring are the parts that actually move outcomes. The free plan is a seven-day trial in disguise: everything you make carries Enhancv branding until you pay, and the advertised monthly price only applies if you buy six months at once.

Pros

  • ATS check scores the draft against screening criteria before you submit
  • Job tailoring rewrites the resume against a pasted job advert
  • All templates and design tools are available even on the free plan
  • Cover letters, interview prep and an application tracker come with the same subscription

Cons

  • The free plan expires after seven days and brands every export
  • The $16.50 headline is the six-month plan, paid as $99 up front; a single month costs $39
  • Free tier caps you at twelve section items, which is tight for a full career history
  • Prices render in local currency, so the USD figures only appear in the page metadata
