Best for a LinkedIn-based web resume
Standard Resume turns a LinkedIn import into a resume you can share as a PDF or a web page, on 12 templates. The free plan keeps the Standard Resume branding, and view tracking, a custom URL and the AI review all need Pro at $19 a month, which sits near the top of what resume builders charge.
Who Standard Resume is for
- Fits if you already have a LinkedIn profile and want a quick resume from it
- Works for people who want a web page to link instead of a PDF
Who Standard Resume is not for
- Skip it if you want the branding off, as removing it needs Pro at $19 a month
- Not for you if you need cover letters or job tracking, since neither is listed
- Tight if you are staying free and want view tracking, a custom web URL or the AI review, all Pro
- Watch out: the pricing page lists PDF downloads on Basic while the home page lists them only under paid
- Watch out: only the monthly Pro price could be read, so the yearly saving is unknown
Why Standard Resume gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPro is $19 a month, and the listing could not read quarterly or yearly prices. The category's middle is $15 and its dearer quarter starts at $23.99, so this is ordinary, with nothing cheaper on offer.
- BFree plan and trialThe Basic plan is free for good: LinkedIn import, editing with PDF preview and a shareable web resume. One person could finish a resume on it, though it carries the vendor's branding.
- CFeatures12 templates, LinkedIn import and web sharing cover the basics. The listing names gaps: the AI review is Pro only, and there is no cover letter or job tracker in it.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record. It is a web app where the work is entering and arranging your own resume, so it sits at the ordinary mark.
- CPlatforms and integrationsBrowser only, with LinkedIn as the one connection listed. No phone or desktop app.

Keep Standard Resume, or make your own?
Your call
You could make the core of Standard Resume for yourself: resume builder and templates.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $228 a year.
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.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Standard Resume’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.
What is Standard Resume?
Standard Resume is a browser-based resume builder made by a three-person team. It imports a LinkedIn profile, applies one of 12 templates, and lets you share the result as a PDF or as a web page. A paid Pro plan removes the branding and adds view tracking and an AI resume review.
Worth knowing
- Only the monthly Pro price ($19) could be read; the Quarterly and Yearly options on the pricing page did not show prices in the page text.
- The vendor's pages disagree on whether PDF downloads are on the free plan.
- Runs in a browser only; no mobile or desktop app is listed.
- The free plan keeps Standard Resume branding, which Pro removes.
Key features

- AI resume review
