Enhancv review (2026): is it worth $16.50 a month?
Designed resume builder with AI feedback, tailoring and a job tracker
Enhancv report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 24, 2026
Best for a resume that looks designed rather than plain
Enhancv builds resumes with unusual sections, checks the wording, tailors a resume to a pasted job ad with a match score, and tracks applications from a Chrome extension. There's no lasting free plan, only 7 days with branding, downloads are PDF only, and the $16.50 rate means paying $99 for six months.
Who Enhancv is for
- Fits if you want sections most builders lack, such as a day in your life
- Works for people who tailor each resume to a job ad and track applications from Chrome
Who Enhancv is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as the free version ends after 7 days and adds branding
- Not for you if an employer wants a Word file, since downloads are PDF only
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $39 against $16.50 a month on the $99 six-month plan
- Watch out: monthly fees aren't refunded, and only Quarterly and Semiannual plans can get a pro-rated refund
- Watch out: the job tracker extension works only in desktop Chrome
Why Enhancv gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPro works out at $16.50 a month only as $99 every six months, right at this category's middle ($16.50). Quarterly is $69, and month to month is $39, which is in the dearest tenth here.
- CFree plan and trialA 7-day Free Plan with no card: every template, but basic sections, up to 12 items on a resume and Enhancv branding. After the week, you pay. A trial that needs no card is a C on our ladder.
- CFeaturesTemplates with extra sections, a content analyzer and ATS check, job tailoring with a match score, translation into languages such as French, Arabic and Hindi, interview prep and a job tracker. The listing's gap: downloads are PDF only, with no Word file.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record. You build in a web editor with extra sections to fill, and the tracker needs its Chrome extension.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb, plus an extension that saves jobs from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Greenhouse and Workday. The extension runs in desktop Chrome only, and there's no phone or desktop app.

Keep Enhancv, or make your own?
Your call
You could make the core of Enhancv for yourself: resume builder and templates.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $198 a year.
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
- It plugs into other products, LinkedIn, Indeed and Glassdoor among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Enhancv’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.
