How we grade them
| 2.2GPAResume GeniusFair | 1.4GPAResumeGoWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BThe Annual Plan works out at $7.95 a month, inside this category's cheaper quarter ($8), but it's one $95.40 charge that renews each year. After the trial, the other way to pay is $23.95 every four weeks. | D$360 once for Professional and $600 for Executive. A year of the category's middle subscription is about $173, so this costs more than two years of it. A human writer is the reason, and it still lands in the dearest tenth. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree Access builds a resume and a cover letter, with the AI summary generator and free Word and Google Docs templates, but the builder downloads TXT only. The 14-day trial costs $2.95, so it isn't free. | FNo free plan and no trial. A free 15-minute call and a 14-day refund window are not a trial. |
| Features | CA step-by-step builder with AI summaries, skills and spellcheck, a parser for an old resume, a checker with a score, 25-plus premium templates, cover letters and a job board. The gap: nothing on record tailors a resume to a job ad, and the job board is US only. | CIt does its one job fully: a writer, a consultation and unlimited revisions. LinkedIn, cover letter and thank-you letter writing are add-ons on Professional. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. A step-by-step web builder, with an upload option if you already have a resume. | CNo store rating on record. You fill in an intake form and a writer takes it from there, so there is little to learn and a wait for the draft. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. It offers free Word and Google Docs templates, but no phone or desktop app and no other integrations on record. | CWeb only, nothing to connect to, and no app is listed. |
| Best for | a resume in Word as well as PDF | having a person write your resume |

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.
