Best for auto-applying to jobs with a tailored resume
Resumly is a job-search autopilot that tailors a resume per job and sends applications for you, with a free plan of 6 applications a day. Paid plans start at $15 a month on yearly billing and cost double on monthly, and you still have to check each tailored resume and answer.
Who Resumly is for
- Fits if you want applications sent for you every day and will check them
- Works for people who want one tool for resume, matches and tracking
Who Resumly is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 6 applications a day, 1 base resume and 2 lifetime Copilot sessions
- Pricey if you pay monthly, as every plan costs twice as much a month as on yearly billing
- Watch out: applications go out by automation, so each tailored resume and answer needs your check
- Watch out: the results ranges on the pricing page are illustrative, not a guarantee of interviews
- Skip it if you want a Mac or Android app, as the listing names iPhone, Windows and an extension

Keep Resumly, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Resumly you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 16 of the 24 other resume builders we grade. It costs $180 a year.
What you could make
- Resume builder: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Apps for Windows and iOS that stay in step with each other.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Resumly’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.
