What our research says

FlowCV

The free tier is the product: one resume, every template, unlimited exports and no watermark, which is more than most paid builders give. Pro is worth it only if you tailor a separate document per application or want the tracker.

Pros

  • Free tier exports unlimited PDFs with no watermark and full template access
  • Import from PDF, DOCX or a photo rather than retyping an existing resume
  • Right-to-left language support and multi-language documents
  • Named company behind it - Uniqkorn Creative GmbH in Austria - rather than an anonymous site

Cons

  • Pro is capped at one price but priced in euros, so the dollar cost drifts with the exchange rate
  • AI is limited to refining what you wrote; it will not draft a resume from a job description
  • No API and no team or agency features

Self.cv

Self turns a resume you already have into a live personal website in a few clicks, and the Autofill extension saves the repetitive part of job applications. It is a small, young product, and the free tier's daily caps push active job seekers toward the paid plan quickly.

Pros

  • Generates a working site directly from an existing resume file
  • Autofill extension reuses the same data across job application forms
  • Team plan supports agencies managing several client pages at once

Cons

  • Free plan limits page generations and autofills per day
  • Custom domain support requires the paid Pro tier

Which one fits

Choose FlowCV if you need

  • Job seekers who need one good resume and refuse to pay for a watermark-free PDF
  • Applicants working in right-to-left languages, which most builders handle badly
  • People rebuilding an old resume, since import accepts PDF, DOCX and images

Choose Self.cv if you need

  • Job seekers who want a shareable web page instead of a PDF
  • Career coaches managing multiple client profiles under one Team account
