# Jobscan review (2026): is it worth it? > Resume scanner that scores your match to a job and its ATS Checked Oct 24, 2026 ยท graded Oct 24, 2026 by ToolGPA. Jobscan compares a resume with a job listing and gives a match rate based on hard skills, soft skills, job title and other keywords, then lists what to add or fix. It says it detects which applicant tracking system a posting uses and tailors its advice to that system. Around the scanner sit a free ATS resume builder, an AI resume builder, LinkedIn profile optimization, a cover letter generator, a job tracker and AI interview practice. - **Category:** Resume Builders - **Made by:** Jobscan - **Website:** https://www.jobscan.co - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Watch out: paid prices sit inside the app, and the free plan's scan limit isn't on record. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 24, 2026 ## Pricing Jobscan's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Resume scanner and match rate:** Upload a resume and paste a job listing to get a match rate weighted toward hard skills, with missing keywords, formatting errors and fixes. - **ATS-specific advice:** Jobscan says it detects the applicant tracking system behind a posting and adjusts its recommendations to that system's parsing rules. - **ATS resume builder:** A free resume builder for ATS-friendly resumes, with Word and Google Docs templates, plus an AI resume builder. - **LinkedIn optimization:** Checks a LinkedIn profile against the jobs you want so recruiters searching LinkedIn are more likely to find it. - **Cover letters and writing aids:** Generators for cover letters, resume summaries and achievement-focused bullet points. - **Job tracker, matches and interview practice:** Track applications and interviews, see jobs matched to your resume, auto-apply after reviewing each one, and practice interviews with AI feedback. ## Good for - Applicants checking each resume against a specific job posting - Job seekers worried about getting past applicant tracking systems - Career services teams, through Jobscan Organizations ## Worth knowing - Paid plan prices appear on a page inside the Jobscan app and could not be confirmed for this listing. - Jobscan recommends a match rate around 75% and warns that pushing higher can mean stuffing in keywords. - Organizations such as colleges and nonprofits buy a separate Jobscan Organizations product. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 24, 2026. Jobscan compares a resume with a job listing, gives a match rate weighted to hard skills and says it tunes its advice to the posting's tracking system. Scans and an ATS builder are free, but paid prices sit inside the app and couldn't be confirmed, and Jobscan itself warns that pushing past about a 75% match can mean stuffing in keywords. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published: paid plans are priced on a page inside the Jobscan app, so we couldn't set them against this category's middle ($16.50 a month). Colleges and nonprofits buy a separate Organizations product. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free resume scans with a match rate report, plus the free ATS resume builder and its Word and Google Docs templates. The listing doesn't record how many free scans you get, or what paying adds. - **Features: B.** A match rate with missing keywords and formatting fixes, advice tuned to the posting's tracking system, an ATS and an AI resume builder, LinkedIn checks, cover letters, a job tracker and interview practice. That covers the job and the search around it. - **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record. Upload a resume and paste a listing to get a score, then rework the resume toward about a 75% match, which takes some reading. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with LinkedIn checks and Word and Google Docs templates. No phone or desktop app on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. - You could make: Resume builder and templates: an app builder makes these well. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
