Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 4 of the 13 other resume builders we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Jobscan, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for checking a resume against one job posting
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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.

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 Jobscan 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.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Jobscan’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.
