Quick verdict
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.
There is a free plan. 5 resume scans per month. Paid plans start at $89.95 per quarter.

Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- 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.
Limitations
- At $49.95 monthly it is the most expensive monthly plan in this comparison set, and the quarterly plan requires a three-month commitment to reach $29.98.
- The product's premise — that keyword optimisation changes screening outcomes — rests on ATS claims we could not verify to a primary source.
- We have not tested the match-rate algorithm and the vendor does not publish how it is computed.
Who should use it, and who should skip it
Worth it for
- Someone applying to a small number of roles who wants each application tuned to the posting
- Anyone who wants LinkedIn and resume analysis from one product
Skip it if
- High-volume applying, where a per-application scoring workflow is the bottleneck
- Anyone who needs application tracking, which is not this product's job
