How we grade them
| 3.2GPAKickresumeVery good | 1.4GPAVMockWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$8 a month on the yearly plan, paid as $96 up front, sits at the edge of this category's cheaper quarter ($8). Quarterly is $18 a month and monthly $24, close to the dear end. | CNo price is published, so it sits at C. Access often comes through an institution's license. |

Nothing in the listing leaves a gap in the resume job. | DIt scores resumes and profiles, picks out skills and describes audio and video feedback.

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.
