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. - **Value for money: C.** Pro 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. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The 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. - **Features: C.** 12 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No 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. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Browser only, with LinkedIn as the one connection listed. No phone or desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Standard Resume's own pages on 13 November 2026.
