Mojolin is self-funded How we score
Teal is our top pick because its free plan already lets you keep a tailored resume for every application and score each one against the job description. Rezi is the best choice for ATS focused scoring, Huntr is the most complete paid bundle for tailoring and tracking, and Jobscan is the best scanner for checking one posting at a time. On a budget, Zety's annual plan is the cheapest paid AI option.

Teal
A free AI resume builder with a Match Score against each job description, plus a job tracker.
tealhq.com9.0
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who send many applications and want a tailored resume version for each one.
Teal is built around one task: adapting a master resume to each posting. You paste a job description, and the builder compares it with your resume, lists the keywords you are missing and shows a Match Score that rises as you edit. AI generators write bullet points, a role specific professional summary and a cover letter. Because the free plan allows unlimited resumes, you can keep a separate version for each application without paying, and the same account tracks every job you save, with notes, goals and email templates per stage.
The free tier is generous on documents but tight on AI. You get 5 credits for bullets and 2 each for summaries and cover letters, keyword matching shows only the top 5 terms, and 10 templates are included. Teal+ removes those limits and is sold in 7, 30 and 90 day periods, which suits a job search with a clear end date. We could not confirm the USD price through our own checker, so treat the figure as pending.
Standout feature
The Match Score turns tailoring into a number you can watch improve as you edit.
Use cases
Active job seekers
Keep one tailored resume version per application
Outcome: Each version scored against its own job description
Career switchers
Find the keywords a new field expects
Outcome: A clear list of missing terms to work into the resume
Key features
- Match Score that shows how well a resume fits a specific job description
- Job description keyword matching that highlights missing keywords
- AI bullet point, professional summary and cover letter generators
- Resume import from PDF, Word or LinkedIn
- Unlimited job tracking with email templates for each job stage
Pros
- Free plan includes unlimited resumes and unlimited job tracking
- Tailoring and tracking live in one workspace
- Teal says it does not limit or charge for resume downloads
Cons
- Free AI use is capped at a few credits: 5 for bullets, 2 for summaries, 2 for cover letters
- Free keyword matching shows only the top 5 keywords
- Our checker could not load the pricing page from our location
Rank 2 · Runner-up
Rezi
An AI resume builder that grades resumes on 23 metrics and targets the keywords of a chosen job.
rezi.ai8.7
out of 10
Best for: Applicants who want a plain, machine readable resume and a checklist for ATS screening.
Rezi treats a resume as something a parser reads first. The Rezi Score checks it against 23 metrics meant to predict how it does in applicant tracking systems, and AI Keyword Targeting compares it with the job you are aiming for. Real time content analysis catches filler words, punctuated bullets, weak bullets and bullets without numbers. On the writing side, Rezi has an AI resume writer for new bullet points, an editor that rewrites existing ones, a summary writer and a cover letter writer that pulls from your resume. A newer AI Resume Agent lets you ask for changes in a chat.
The free plan is useful for one resume, with 3 PDF downloads and a limited score. Pro at $29 a month unlocks unlimited resumes, downloads and AI interviews, the full score, keyword targeting and a monthly expert review. If your search may run for months, the $149 lifetime plan costs about five months of Pro. Templates are deliberately plain.
Standout feature
The 23 metric Rezi Score gives a concrete list of fixes instead of a vague grade.
Use cases
Applicants to large employers
Check a resume against the keywords of a posting
Outcome: A resume that covers the required terms and parses cleanly
Mid career professionals
Rewrite old bullet points with the AI editor
Outcome: Shorter, quantified achievement lines
Key features
- Rezi Score, which rates a resume on 23 key metrics
- AI Keyword Targeting for the job you want
- Real time content analysis for filler words and weak or unquantified bullets
- AI resume writer, editor, summary writer and cover letter writer
- AI interview practice and an AI Resume Agent you can chat with
Pros
- Free plan needs no card and includes the AI writer and editor
- Lifetime plan at $149 avoids a recurring bill
- Pro includes one expert resume review per month
Cons
- Free plan allows 1 resume and 3 PDF downloads
- Rezi Score and keyword targeting are limited on the free plan
- Templates favor standard formats over visual design
Rank 3 · Also great
Huntr
A job search workspace with an AI resume builder, job tailored resumes, AI reviews and a job tracker.
huntr.co8.6
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who want AI tailoring, cover letters, autofill and tracking in one place.
Huntr started as a job tracker and now wraps an AI resume builder around it. The free plan already covers a lot: unlimited base resumes, free PDF export, every template, basic job matching and scoring, 2 job tailored resumes, a tracker for up to 100 jobs and unlimited application autofills through the Chrome extension. That makes it easy to test the tailoring workflow on real postings before paying.
Pro adds unlimited tailored resumes, unlimited AI generations for summaries, skills and achievements, unlimited AI cover letters and unlimited AI reviews that critique each line of a resume for a target role. Its job matching compares responsibilities and qualifications as well as keywords, and can write the missing terms into your sentences. The catch is price. At $40 a month it costs more than any other monthly plan on this list, though the 6 month plan brings it to $26.66 a month. It fits best when you are applying heavily for several months.
Standout feature
Huntr matches responsibilities and qualifications, not only keywords, when it tailors a resume.
Use cases
High volume applicants
Tailor, track and autofill applications from one dashboard
Outcome: Less copy and paste per application
Bootcamp graduates
Get a line by line AI review of a first technical resume
Outcome: Specific edits tied to the target role
Key features
- AI resume tailoring that rewrites a resume for a specific job
- Job matching on keywords, responsibilities and qualifications
- Unlimited AI resume reviews with line by line critique on Pro
- AI cover letters plus summary, skills and achievement generators
- Job tracker, contact tracker and Chrome job clipper with application autofill
Pros
- Free plan includes unlimited base resumes, PDF export and all templates
- Matching looks at responsibilities and qualifications, not only keywords
- Unlimited application autofills even on the free plan
Cons
- Pro at $40 a month is the priciest monthly plan here
- Free plan includes only 2 job tailored resumes
- Free job tracking stops at 100 jobs
Rank 4
Jobscan
An ATS resume checker that compares a resume with a job description, with AI optimization and a resume builder.
jobscan.co8.5
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who already have a resume and want to see how it scores for one posting at a time.
Jobscan is the scanner many job seekers already know. You upload a resume, paste a job description and get a report on ATS and recruiter findings, including which keywords match, which are missing and which synonyms count. The free plan gives 5 scans a month along with a resume builder, a resume manager, a job tracker and the Chrome extension, which is enough to check the handful of applications that matter most.
Paid plans make scans unlimited and add AI optimizations, an AI bullet point generator, an AI cover letter generator, AI job matching, a LinkedIn optimizer and the keyword synonym detector. Several of those AI tools are marked desktop only. Billing is either quarterly with a 7 day free trial or monthly at a noticeably higher rate, so the quarterly plan is the sensible choice for most searches. We could not confirm the USD price through our own checker, so pricing is marked pending.
Standout feature
The keyword synonym detector credits related terms instead of only exact matches.
Use cases
Experienced professionals
Score a current resume against a dream job posting
Outcome: A list of missing keywords and formatting issues
LinkedIn heavy job seekers
Optimize a profile alongside the resume
Outcome: Consistent keywords across resume and profile
Key features
- Resume scans that compare your resume with a job description
- ATS and recruiter findings with an AI keyword synonym detector
- Unlimited AI optimizations and an AI bullet point generator on paid plans
- AI cover letter generator and LinkedIn optimizer
- AI resume builder, job tracker and Chrome extension
Pros
- Free plan includes 5 resume scans every month
- Findings cover both ATS parsing and what recruiters look for
- 7 day free trial on the quarterly plan
Cons
- Monthly plan is expensive compared with the quarterly plan
- Some AI tools are listed as desktop only
- Our checker could not load the pricing page from our location
Rank 5
Kickresume
A design focused resume builder with an AI Writer that drafts a full resume from a job title and job ad.
kickresume.com8.4
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who want AI drafting and a polished template in one tool.
Kickresume is the pick for people who want AI to draft the first version and a good looking template to put it in. The AI Writer generates an entire resume once you enter your job title and the job ad you are responding to, and a separate AI writer handles cover letters. The ATS Resume Checker looks at how your resume would fare in applicant tracking systems and compares it with successful resumes in Kickresume's database.
The free plan is better than most for downloads: unlimited, with 4 basic resume templates, 4 matching cover letter templates and 20,000 pre-written phrases. The AI tools, all 40+ templates, LinkedIn and PDF import, the Career Map and the mobile apps need Premium, which is sold monthly, quarterly or yearly with a 14 day money-back guarantee. Yearly billing is far cheaper per month than monthly. Our location showed euro prices, so the USD figure is pending.
Standout feature
The AI Writer can produce an entire resume from just a job title and a job ad.
Use cases
Graduates
Generate a first full resume from a target job ad
Outcome: A complete draft to edit instead of a blank page
Client facing roles
Pair a resume with a matching cover letter design
Outcome: A consistent, polished application
Key features
- AI Writer that generates a full resume from your job title and the job ad
- AI cover letter writer powered by GPT-4.1, per Kickresume
- ATS Resume Checker that compares your resume with successful resumes
- 40+ resume templates with matching cover letter templates
- Career Map that suggests career paths from your resume
Pros
- Free plan includes unlimited downloads and 4 basic templates
- Templates come in many color, font and layout variants
- Premium includes iOS and Android apps
Cons
- AI Writer and ATS checker require Premium
- Monthly billing costs three times the yearly rate per month
- USD prices could not be confirmed from our location
Rank 6
Enhancv
A resume builder with AI tailoring to job descriptions, an ATS score and resume translation.
enhancv.com8.3
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who want a resume that reads well to recruiters and still passes ATS.
Enhancv aims for a resume that a recruiter enjoys reading without losing ATS readability. Its tailoring feature takes a pasted job ad and returns a match score, keyword recommendations and tips. AI resume feedback rates content, structure and style and gives an ATS score, while generators write bullet points, headlines and objectives based on your resume and the job. The content analyzer also checks grammar and flags cliches, repetition and vague phrasing.
Two features stand out from rivals. Resume translation converts a resume into languages such as French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese while keeping the layout, which helps with international applications. Custom sections like Day of My Life let you show more personality. The limits are the free plan, which lasts 7 days and carries Enhancv branding, and PDF only downloads. Pro is sold on a quarterly plan; our location showed euro prices, so USD pricing is pending.
Standout feature
Resume translation keeps the design intact while switching languages.
Use cases
International applicants
Translate one resume into several languages
Outcome: Localized resumes with the same layout
Marketing and product roles
Add personality sections next to tailored bullets
Outcome: A resume that stands out to human readers
Key features
- Resume tailoring with a match score and keyword suggestions for a pasted job ad
- AI resume feedback with an ATS score
- AI bullet point, headline and objective generators
- Resume translation into languages including French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Hindi
- AI job application tracker
Pros
- Unusual sections, such as Day of My Life, add personality
- Translation keeps formatting intact across languages
- AI content analysis flags cliches, repetition and vague wording
Cons
- Free plan lasts only 7 days and adds Enhancv branding
- Resumes download as PDF, not Word
- USD prices could not be confirmed from our location
Rank 7
Resume Worded
A resume and LinkedIn feedback tool with a score out of 100, AI rewrites and a targeted keyword checker.
resumeworded.com8.2
out of 10
Best for: People who have a resume draft and want line by line feedback and AI fixes.
Resume Worded works best as an editor for a resume you already have. Upload it and the free review returns a score out of 100 with line by line feedback built from more than 30 checks that recruiters use, such as missing metrics, weak verbs and vague phrasing. AutoFix then drafts a rewrite for each weak line, asks for the facts it needs and lets you approve every change, which keeps the AI from inventing achievements.
Smart Target, also called Targeted Resume, compares your resume with a pasted job description and shows a relevancy score, the keywords you match and the ones you are missing, then suggests lines that work them in. A LinkedIn review, an AI cover letter writer, ATS templates and a library of 250+ bullet points from real resumes round it out. Pro pricing sits behind a login, so we could not quote it. It is less of a design tool than the builders above.
Standout feature
AutoFix asks what it needs to know before rewriting, then lets you approve each edit.
Use cases
Job seekers with an old resume
Find and fix weak lines quickly
Outcome: A higher score and stronger bullets
LinkedIn users
Review the profile with the same checks as the resume
Outcome: A profile that matches the resume
Key features
- Free resume review with a score out of 100 from 30+ recruiter checks
- AutoFix, an AI rewriter that drafts fixes for weak lines from your experience
- Smart Target keyword checker with a relevancy score for a pasted job description
- AI cover letter writer based on your resume and the job
- LinkedIn profile review and 250+ sample bullet points from real resumes
Pros
- Free review gives line by line feedback
- AutoFix asks for details and lets you approve each change
- Covers LinkedIn as well as the resume
Cons
- Pricing is not published on a public page
- Feedback tool first, with fewer layout options than full builders
- No job tracker
Rank 8
Careerflow
An AI career platform with a resume builder, ATS optimizer, LinkedIn optimizer and job tracker.
careerflow.ai8.1
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who want AI help with resumes, LinkedIn and outreach on a weekly budget.
Careerflow puts the resume inside a wider job search kit. Premium unlocks unlimited AI resumes, an ATS optimizer, an ATS score and keyword analyzer, and an AI writer for bullets and summaries. The same plan covers an AI cover letter writer, an elevator pitch writer, a LinkedIn post writer, an advanced LinkedIn optimizer and a job description summarizer, which helps if your search depends on networking as much as applications.
The free Basic plan includes the Chrome extension, recruiter and hiring manager search, and limited versions of the resume builder, tracker, autofill and skill gap analyzer. Pricing is flexible: Premium costs $8.99 a week or $23.99 a month, and Premium Plus adds AI mock interviews for $19.99 a week or $44.99 a month, with up to 35% off yearly plans. The breadth is a strength for active searchers but more than you need if you only want one tailored resume.
Standout feature
Weekly billing at $8.99 makes it easy to pay only during an active search.
Use cases
Networkers
Optimize LinkedIn and write outreach alongside the resume
Outcome: One consistent story across channels
Short term searchers
Pay weekly during a burst of applications
Outcome: AI tools without a long commitment
Key features
- Unlimited AI resumes and an AI resume ATS optimizer on Premium
- ATS score and keyword analyzer
- AI resume bullet and summary writer
- AI cover letter, elevator pitch and LinkedIn post writers
- LinkedIn optimizer, job tracker and application autofill
Pros
- Weekly billing suits a short, intense search
- Covers LinkedIn and networking along with the resume
- Free plan includes a Chrome extension and a limited resume builder
Cons
- Free resume builder and tracker are limited
- AI mock interviews need Premium Plus
- Many tools to learn if you only want a resume
Rank 9
Zety
A step by step resume builder with AI powered content suggestions, ATS templates and a resume checker.
zety.com8.0
out of 10
Best for: Budget minded job seekers who want guided AI content and will commit to a year.
Zety is a guided builder that fills in AI powered and expert written content as you go. You pick from hundreds of ATS-friendly templates or upload an existing resume, then customize ready-made phrases, skills and accomplishments suggested for your target role. Design controls cover colors, fonts, spacing and section order, and finished resumes download as PDF, Word or TXT, with a resume check and instant job matches included in paid plans.
Price is the main reason to choose it for AI help. The Annual Package works out to $5.95 a month, paid as $71.40 at once, which is the lowest paid rate on this list. Read the terms before taking the trial: the $1.95 Pro Package trial lasts 14 days and then renews at $25.95 every 4 weeks unless you cancel. Zety's AI is more of a phrase suggester than a tailoring engine, so heavy tailoring is easier in Teal, Rezi or Huntr.
Standout feature
The Annual Package costs $5.95 a month, the lowest paid rate on this list.
Use cases
First time resume writers
Build a resume step by step with suggested phrases
Outcome: A complete, ATS-friendly resume
Budget focused searchers
Pay for a year of access up front
Outcome: Paid features at $5.95 a month
Key features
- Expert written and AI powered resume content for your target role
- Hundreds of ATS-friendly resume templates
- Resume upload to transfer existing information
- Resume check and instant job matches
- PDF, Word and TXT downloads with a cover letter builder
Pros
- Annual plan is the cheapest paid option on this list
- Guided, step by step builder suits first time resume writers
- Exports to PDF, Word and TXT
Cons
- $1.95 trial auto-renews at $25.95 every 4 weeks
- AI is suggestion based rather than full job tailoring
- Free Basic Package is limited
Rank 10
Resume.io
An AI resume builder trained with recruiter input, with job keyword updates, a resume score and dozens of ATS templates.
resume.io7.9
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who want a fast AI draft in a well used template and do not mind a subscription.
Resume.io pitches its AI builder as purpose built for job applications, with recruiter input behind it. You describe what you have done and the AI writer turns it into resume content. Paste a job and it updates the keywords and generates key skills from the description. A resume score tells you how close you are, and Resume.io recommends getting above 90%. Extra AI tools include a cover letter writer, a job post analyzer and interview prep, and the template library includes many layouts labeled ATS.
The pricing needs care. The free plan allows one resume and cover letter but downloads only in TXT. The $2.95 trial gives full access for 7 days, then renews at $29.95 every 4 weeks; the quarterly plan at $49.95 every 3 months is cheaper over time. A 7 day money-back guarantee helps. For quick, guided AI drafting it is pleasant to use, but long searches cost more here than in most rivals.
Standout feature
Pasting a job updates the resume keywords and skills automatically.
Use cases
Hourly and retail workers
Turn spoken work history into a polished resume
Outcome: A complete draft in minutes
Applicants to a single role
Paste the job to update keywords and skills

Frequently asked questions
+What is the best AI resume builder in 2026?
Teal is our top pick because it scores each resume against a job description and its free plan allows unlimited resume versions. Rezi is the best alternative for ATS focused scoring, and Huntr is the most complete paid option for tailoring plus job tracking.
+Is there a free AI resume builder?
Yes. Teal, Rezi, Huntr, Jobscan, Kickresume, Resume Worded and Careerflow all have free plans with some AI features. Limits vary: Teal caps AI credits, Rezi allows 1 resume and 3 PDF downloads, Huntr includes 2 job tailored resumes and Jobscan gives 5 scans a month.
+Which AI resume tool is cheapest?
Zety's Annual Package is the cheapest paid plan we found at $5.95 a month, billed as $71.40 a year. Careerflow Premium costs $8.99 a week, and Rezi sells a $149 lifetime plan that avoids recurring charges.
+Can AI tailor my resume to a job description?
Yes. Teal, Rezi, Huntr, Jobscan, Enhancv and Resume Worded compare your resume with a pasted job description, list missing keywords and suggest or write new lines. Review every change so the resume still reflects your real experience.
+Do recruiters reject AI written resumes?
Employers judge the content, so generic AI text is the risk, not AI itself. Use tools that work from your own details and the job description, add real numbers, and edit the wording until it sounds like you.
