1.6GPA

Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026

Best for an AI-written CV delivered the same day

CV Genie generates an AI-written CV the same day, or has an in-house expert write a C-Suite version in 3 to 5 days. Prices are not on its pages, so you won't know the cost until you reach checkout. We'd want that number before going further.

Who CV Genie is for

  • Fits if you want a finished CV without building it yourself
  • Makes sense if you'd rather pay once than subscribe

Who CV Genie is not for

  • Watch out: no prices appear on the vendor's pages, so the cost of Executive and C-Suite isn't confirmed
  • Skip it if you want something free to try, since only the CV assessment is free
  • Tight if you're in a hurry for the expert version: C-Suite takes 3 to 5 days
  • Watch out: refunds can be asked for within 30 days, but delivered services and downloaded products are non-refundable

Why CV Genie gets a 1.6

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • CValue for moneyNo price on record, so it sits at the ordinary C. The vendor says the payment is one-time with lifetime portal access.
  • FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial. The free CV assessment looks at your existing CV, it doesn't let you try the product.
  • CFeaturesSame-day AI CV, expert service, Word and PDF downloads and other documents like cover letters. No ATS scanner or job tools are described.
  • CEase of useNo rating on record, and an AI draft still needs reading through.
  • CPlatforms and integrationsWeb portal only; no app or integrations are listed.

Keep CV Genie, or make your own?

Your call

You could make the core of CV Genie for yourself: resume builder and templates.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.

What you could make

  • Resume builder and templates: an app builder makes these well.
  • It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.

What you could not

  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. CV Genie’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

What is CV Genie?

CV Genie produces resumes and cover letters by combining a resume writer's prompts with AI, and keeps the finished CV in an online portal for later edits. It sells a self-service Executive product and a more hands-on C-Suite product, and downloads come in Word and PDF.

Worth knowing

  • No prices appear on the vendor's pages, so the cost of Executive and C-Suite could not be confirmed.
  • The vendor describes the payment as one-time, with lifetime access to the portal and unlimited edits.
  • Refunds can be requested within 30 days, but delivered services and downloaded products are non-refundable.
  • The C-Suite product takes 3 to 5 days because a person writes it.
