Best for autofilling job applications from your browser
Simplify is a job-search platform with a browser extension that autofills applications, a tracker and a basic resume builder, all free. Autopilot, which sends applications for you, needs Simplify+ at $19.99 a week or $39.99 a month on the App Store, and payments are non-refundable once activated.
Who Simplify is for
- Fits if you apply to many jobs and want the forms filled in for you
- Works for people who only need the free autofill and tracker
Who Simplify is not for
- Pricey if you want Autopilot, as Simplify+ starts at $19.99 a week on the App Store
- Skip it if you want a refund later, since Simplify+ payments are non-refundable once activated, apart from a 24-hour window for unintended renewals
- Watch out: the Simplify+ prices here are the App Store ones, as no web price could be read
- Watch out: the iOS app is iPhone only
- Watch out: 4.3 from 35 App Store ratings is a thin record
Why Simplify gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneySimplify+ is $19.99 a week, $39.99 a month or $89.99 for 3 months on the App Store. Even the 3-month price works out near $30 a month, above the dearest quarter of resume builders ($26.66).
- BFree plan and trialAutofill, the tracker, job matches and a basic resume builder are free, and the site says it keeps them free. One person could live on that.
- BFeaturesAutofill, resume score and tailoring, Autopilot, a tracker, job lists, cover letters and answers. Autopilot is paid only.
- CEase of useThe iPhone app shows 4.3 from 35 ratings, too few to count (we need 300). The extension needs installing and an account connecting.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, an iPhone-only app and a browser extension, with Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, LinkedIn and Indeed on the list.

Keep Simplify, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Simplify you could make: resume builder and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
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 $1,039.48 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. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Workday, Greenhouse and Lever among them.
- 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. Simplify’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.
