Comparison
Teal vs Jobscan
Compared 2026-08-22
Short answer
Choose Teal if you need to organise a search. It tracks applications and tailors resumes, and its free tier covers both without limit.
Choose Jobscan if you apply to few roles and want each one scored against the posting in depth, with LinkedIn analysis included.
These are not really substitutes. If you are trying to decide between them, the question is whether your problem is organisation or targeting.
How this was compiled
We have not tested these products. Every price was read from the vendor’s own pricing page on the date shown, and every capability is marked with how we know it. Where we could not establish something it is recorded as not established, rather than guessed.
There are no affiliate links, no sponsored placements and no paid inclusion on this site. Nothing here earns us a commission.

Where each one wins
Teal
The most complete free tier of any tracker we priced: unlimited applications and unlimited resumes without paying. The paid upgrade is mostly about removing the keyword-matching cap, so its value depends entirely on whether you tailor resumes per application.
- Unlimited job tracking and unlimited resumes on the free plan, which is unusual — most trackers cap one or the other.
- Tracking and resume tailoring live in one place, so a saved job description feeds the resume scoring directly.
- Billing is unusually flexible, including a weekly option for a short search.
Jobscan
The most established ATS-match tool and the most expensive per month in this set. Its value rests on the premise that keyword matching materially changes outcomes, which is a claim the evidence does not settle — see our reviews of the underlying ATS statistics before committing at $49.95 a month.
- The most recognised product in ATS matching, with a free tier that is genuinely usable at five scans a month.
- A 7-day trial on the quarterly plan, which is rare among the tools we priced.
- Covers LinkedIn optimisation as well as resumes, so it is not purely a single-file scorer.
Why we compare these two
Frequently compared despite doing different jobs. The comparison is worth publishing precisely to show they are not substitutes.
