Which one is for you
Pick ResumeGo if
- Fits if you want someone else to write the resume and you're happy to pay once
- Makes sense if you're a senior executive who wants a resume, LinkedIn profile and letters as a set
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to build and edit the resume yourself, since this is a service with human writers
- Pricey if you only need one resume: $360 on Professional, $600 on Executive
- Watch out: LinkedIn is +$80 and a cover letter or thank-you letter is +$40 each on Professional
- Watch out: the order page gives no delivery time beyond a writer being assigned within 24 hours, and refunds close 14 days after delivery
Pick Zety if
- Fits if you'd rather pick and edit suggested phrases than write bullet points yourself
- Works for job seekers who need the resume as a Word file as well as a PDF
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free PDF, as the free plan downloads TXT only
- Watch out: the $1.95 trial renews at $25.95 every 4 weeks after 14 days unless you cancel
- Pricey if you only need it for a month or two, since $5.95 a month means one $71.40 charge, renewed yearly
- Not for you if you tailor each resume to a job ad, since nothing on record matches it against one
- Watch out: it's web only, with no phone app
How we grade them
| 1.4GPAResumeGoWeak | 2.2GPAZetyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | BThe Annual Package works out at $5.95 a month, inside this category's cheaper quarter ($8), but it's one $71.40 charge that renews each year. Pay as you go and it's $25.95 every 4 weeks, close to the dear end. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial. A free 15-minute call and a 14-day refund window are not a trial. | CThe Basic Package gives you the builders, templates, resume check and job matches, but downloads TXT only. PDF and Word need a paid plan, and the 14-day trial costs $1.95, so that isn't free either. |
| Features | 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. | CPre-written phrases by job, 18 templates, an old-resume makeover, a checker for typos and 30-plus other issues, and matching cover letters. The gap: nothing on record tailors a resume to a pasted job ad, and 18 templates is a short list here. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo App Store rating on record. You build section by section in a web builder, though clicking in phrases means less writing from scratch. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, nothing to connect to, and no app is listed. | CWeb only, with no phone or desktop app and no integrations on record. |
| Best for | having a person write your resume | picking pre-written phrases instead of writing |

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.
