The report card
Best for a matching resume, cover letter and website
Kickresume's free plan keeps unlimited resumes and downloads on 4 basic templates and 2 fonts. The AI Writer, ATS checker and 40-plus templates need Premium, which is $8 a month only if you pay $96 for the year, against $24 month to month, and refunds stop after one 14-day guarantee.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $8 a month on the yearly plan, paid as $96 up front, sits at the edge of this category's cheaper quarter ($8). Quarterly is $18 a month and monthly $24, close to the dear end. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Unlimited resumes and downloads on 4 basic templates and 2 fonts, with 20,000 pre-written phrases, so one person can make and send a resume without paying. The AI Writer and ATS checker aren't included. Students and teachers can get Premium free for up to 180 days. |
| Features | B | An AI Writer that drafts a whole resume from a job title and ad, 40-plus templates with matching cover letters, an ATS checker, a one-click personal website, Career Map, and LinkedIn or PDF import. Nothing in the listing leaves a gap in the resume job. |
| Ease of use | A | Kickresume rates 4.7 on the US App Store from 4,215 ratings, which puts it at A on our ease ladder. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with LinkedIn import. The iOS app is for iPhone only, not iPad, and there's no desktop app. |
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.
Keep it
The plain part of Kickresume you could make: resume builder and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.2 is higher than 13 of the 13 other resume builders we grade. It costs $96 a year.
What you could make
- Resume builder and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- 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. Kickresume’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.
