What our research says

Canyon

The value is the tracker plus the extension: saving a posting and autofilling the form is where a job hunt actually leaks time, and Canyon covers it alongside the resume work. The listing database is US-only, and the useful research features sit on the $43 tier rather than the $16 one.

Pros

  • Chrome extension saves postings and autofills applications on major boards
  • Resume scoring and per-posting tailoring against ATS parsing
  • Application tracker with analytics rather than a separate spreadsheet
  • Free tier covers resumes, cover letters and mock interviews at reduced limits
  • Student discount available with a .edu address

Cons

  • Listings database is US-only, roughly 600,000 postings
  • Company research and networking features are Gold-only at $43.33/month
  • Advertised prices assume quarterly billing, so month-to-month costs more
  • No mobile app

Huntr

Huntr is the rare job tool that treats a search as a pipeline rather than a series of one-off applications, and the kanban board plus contact and interview trackers are genuinely better than a spreadsheet. Pairing that with per-posting resume tailoring and an autofill extension removes most of the mechanical work. The pricing is aggressive for a product people use for two or three months: $40 a month rolling is steep, and the discount only arrives if you commit before you know how long the search will take.

Pros

  • One-click job capture from the Chrome extension with automatic keyword extraction
  • Kanban pipeline with separate contact, interview and scheduling trackers
  • Resume tailoring against a specific posting with a match score, plus cover-letter generation
  • Autofill works across many common application forms
  • Free tier is genuinely usable for tracking, capped at 100 jobs

Cons

  • $40/month rolling is high for a tool most people need for a short, uncertain period
  • The real discount requires committing three or six months up front
  • Free tier's two tailored resumes run out almost immediately if tailoring is why you came
