GPA, above 4 of the 13 other resume builders we grade

Who Resume.io is for

  • Fits if you rewrite your resume for each job ad and want a fit score as you go
  • Works for people who want the resume and a matching cover letter done in one sitting

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you want a free PDF, as the free plan downloads TXT only and keeps one resume
  • Watch out: the $2.95 trial renews at $29.95 every 4 weeks after 7 days unless you cancel
  • Watch out: the pricing page promises a 7-day money-back guarantee, but the terms say subscriptions aren't refunded
  • Not for you if you want Recruiter Match or Auto Apply, since the pricing page doesn't say which plan has them
  • Watch out: only some templates export to Word, and there's no phone app

Good to know

Good for

  • Job seekers who want a finished resume and cover letter in one sitting
  • Applicants tailoring a resume to each job listing's keywords
  • People who only need one resume and can live with a TXT download

Worth knowing

  • The free plan downloads only in TXT format; PDF downloads and premium templates need a paid plan.
  • The $2.95 trial turns into a $29.95 charge every 4 weeks after 7 days unless it is cancelled first.
  • The pricing page promises a 7-day money-back guarantee, while the terms of use say subscriptions are not refunded.
  • The homepage promotes Recruiter Match, Auto Apply and career coaching, but the pricing page does not say which plan includes them.

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 Resume.io 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. Resume.io’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.
