What our research says

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

Oppy

The idea worth paying for is the shared record: because the resume, journal and application history all feed the same profile, matches and tailored applications come out of context instead of a blank prompt each time. Privacy is handled properly, with publishing opt-in. Against that, the price is metered in AI credits and the vendor behind it is not named anywhere.

Pros

  • Mode switch reshapes the whole workspace for growing, searching or freelancing
  • One resume and journal feed matching, applications and generated bios
  • Free tier with 200 AI credits a month, no card mentioned
  • Public profile page is opt-in; everything is private by default

Cons

  • Usage is metered in AI credits, and 200 a month is a taste rather than a working budget
  • No company name, country or founding year published
  • Signup links still carry a waitlist offer, suggesting access is not fully open
