What our research says

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

Resume Worded

Worth it as a structured second opinion on a resume you have already drafted, and the LinkedIn audit is more specific than most rivals bother with. But $49/month is the wrong shape for a task most people do once — take the quarterly or annual plan or nothing.

Pros

  • feedback maps to named checks instead of an opaque score
  • large library of sample bullet points taken from resumes that landed interviews
  • LinkedIn review is a genuinely separate product, not a resume report relabelled
  • ATS templates are delivered as editable Word and Google Docs files

Cons

  • monthly price is high relative to how briefly most job seekers need it
  • no API and no bulk mode for coaches or university career services
  • checks are rule-based, so advice repeats across different resumes
  • no in-browser editor — you copy suggestions back into your own document

Which one fits

  • Job seekers applying through ATS-screened postings

Choose Resume Worded if you need
