Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 2 of the 45 other resume builders we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about CV Genie, taken from its own pages and our grades.
We'd want that number before going further.

Web.
- 3

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- People who prefer a writer's input over a purely self-service builder
- Senior candidates who want a more hands-on resume service
- Buyers who want a one-time payment rather than a subscription
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
