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. - **Value for money: C.** No price on record, so it sits at the ordinary C. The vendor says the payment is one-time with lifetime portal access. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial. The free CV assessment looks at your existing CV, it doesn't let you try the product. - **Features: C.** Same-day AI CV, expert service, Word and PDF downloads and other documents like cover letters. No ATS scanner or job tools are described. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record, and an AI draft still needs reading through. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web portal only; no app or integrations are listed.
