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 for a quarter up front.

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
  • Billing is quarterly, so the $16.50 headline means paying about $50 at once
  • Free tier caps you at twelve section items, which is tight for a full career history
  • Prices render in local currency, so the USD figure only appears in the page title

ResumeUp

Six job-hunt tools behind one subscription, which beats paying separately for a builder, a scanner and an interview coach. The quarterly re-testing against named applicant tracking systems is a more concrete claim than most rivals make. Against that: no company entity is published, and $29 a month is real money for a search that may last weeks.

Pros

  • Six tools — builder, ATS checker, cover letters, LinkedIn scorer, interview coach, tracker — in one subscription
  • ATS checks are re-tested quarterly against five named applicant tracking systems
  • Chrome extension pulls postings straight off job boards
  • Free tier keeps the tracker and LinkedIn optimiser rather than locking everything
  • 20+ resume templates with ATS-oriented layouts

Cons

  • $29 a month is at the top of the resume-tool range
  • No company entity or address is published; the footer lists three country flags for a distributed team
  • Free credits run out after 20 AI actions, which is a handful of tailored resumes
  • No API or integration beyond the browser extension
