How we grade them
| 2.8GPAHuntrGood | 2.2GPAJobscanFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro works out at $26.66 a month only as $160 every six months, between this category's middle ($16.50) and its dearer quarter ($29). Quarterly is $90, and month to month is $40, which is in the dearest tenth here. | CNo price is published: paid plans are priced on a page inside the Jobscan app, so we couldn't set them against this category's middle ($16.50 a month). Colleges and nonprofits buy a separate Organizations product. |
| Free plan and trial | BUnlimited base resumes with PDF export and every template, up to 100 tracked jobs, unlimited autofills and contacts, and 2 tailored resumes. One person can run a search on that, though the AI credits are only a few, for testing. | CFree resume scans with a match rate report, plus the free ATS resume builder and its Word and Google Docs templates. The listing doesn't record how many free scans you get, or what paying adds. |
| Features | BA tracker board with dates, tasks, notes and a map, a clipper with autofill, job-tailored resumes, a line-by-line AI review, cover letters, contacts, an interview tracker and search charts. That covers the resume job and the search around it. | BA match rate with missing keywords and formatting fixes, advice tuned to the posting's tracking system, an ATS and an AI resume builder, LinkedIn checks, cover letters, a job tracker and interview practice. That covers the job and the search around it. |
| Ease of use | BHuntr rates 4.7 on the US App Store from 362 ratings, which puts it at B on our ease ladder. | CNo App Store rating on record. Upload a resume and paste a listing to get a score, then rework the resume toward about a 75% match, which takes some reading. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, plus the Chrome clipper. No desktop app and no integrations on record, and the page names no browser but Chrome. | CWeb only, with LinkedIn checks and Word and Google Docs templates. No phone or desktop app on record. |
| Best for | tracking job applications on a board | checking a resume against one job posting |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
