Which one is for you
Pick Rezi if
- Fits if you'd rather pay $149 once than keep a subscription running through a job search
- Works for applicants who rework each resume around one job ad's keywords
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: one resume, three PDF downloads and one AI interview
- Watch out: Word and Google Drive exports, the full Rezi Score and full keyword targeting need Pro or Lifetime
- Pricey if you pay monthly, as Pro is $29 a month with no quarterly or yearly option
- Watch out: Lifetime leaves out Pro's monthly expert review, which then costs extra
Pick Teal if
- Fits if you're applying to many jobs and want each one tracked beside the resume you sent
- Works for a short, intense search, as Teal+ can be paid by the week
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you lean on AI, as free use stops at 10 bullet, 2 summary and 2 cover letter credits
- Pricey if you pay weekly: $13 a week is about $56 a month, against $29 for 30 days
- Watch out: full keyword matching, unlimited templates and the advanced Design Mode settings are Teal+ only
- Skip it if you want a phone app, since Teal runs in the browser with a Chrome extension
- Watch out: refunds are only considered inside each plan's eligibility window, per the pricing FAQ

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.
