[ 03 · WHY FREE ]

The paywall is the incumbents’ weakness

The big resume sites let you do all the work — every section, every bullet — and then ask for $24.95 per month when you click download. The ATS scanners meter you five checks a month at $49.95. Those paywalls exist because their business model requires them; they cannot remove them without destroying their revenue.

We have no such constraint. The scanner and the builder run entirely in your browser, so a million scans cost us the same as one. Free is not our trial tier — it is the product.

Common questions

Why is this free when other resume tools charge $20–50 a month?

Because nothing here costs us anything per use. The checker and the builder run entirely in your browser — no servers processing your resume, no AI bills, no storage. Paid tools gate the PDF download or meter your scans because that is their business model; we would rather take the traffic and run ads later than put a paywall between you and an application deadline.

Does my resume ever leave my browser?

No. Scoring, keyword matching, rendering, and saving all happen locally in JavaScript. There is no upload endpoint and no account system — close the tab and the text exists nowhere but your machine.

What does the ATS score actually mean?

It evaluates two signals used in many screening workflows: whether your pasted text is clearly structured, and how closely its wording overlaps the posting. 65 points cover structure and language; 35 cover the keyword match when you paste a job description. Every point links to the rule that awarded it. It is not a prediction that any specific employer will interview you — no tool can promise that.

Which job titles do you have examples for?

Twelve at launch — software engineer, nurse, project manager, teacher, customer service, accountant, data analyst, sales, marketing, electrician, warehouse, and graduate — each a complete resume with quantified bullets, role-specific keywords, common mistakes, and one-click loading into the builder and checker.

Will a resume built here pass an ATS?

No tool can promise that — screening rules differ by employer and a person makes the final call. What we can do is lower the common, fixable risks: the templates use real selectable text (never images), plain section headings, and single-column or parse-ordered layouts, which are the lowest-risk choices across most systems. Then run your finished resume through the checker against the actual posting and fix what it flags.

Your next application deserves a scan.

Two seconds to a score, two minutes to the fixes, and the PDF is free on the way out.
