What the alternatives actually cost

Prices verified August 16, 2026 from each company’s own published materials. Sources at the bottom of this page.

AIApply’s headline price is $29 a month for its Premium toolkit. Auto Apply is a separate $49-a-month subscription, capped at 100 applications. Tailored resumes and tailored cover letters are $12 a month each, billed as add-ons to Auto Apply. Their interview tool is another $19. All five together come to $121 a month — 4.2 times the $29 headline. AIApply has no pricing page; /pricing redirects to its homepage, and these figures are documented on its support site.

Simplify+ publishes three prices: $19.99 a week, $39.99 a month, or $89.99 a quarter. The weekly plan is the one worth doing arithmetic on — a year has 52 weeks, not 48, so $19.99 a week works out to $86.62 a month.

LazyApply bills annually: $99, $149, or $999 a year, each shown beside a struck-through higher price of $119, $179, and $1,099.

We surveyed eight tools in this category and could not find published job-seeker pricing for two of them. Jobright’s job-seeker pricing page returns a 404, while its employer page publicly lists $499 per recruiter per month. One of the eight, Sonara, we could not reach at all: its origin returned zero bytes across six attempts, so we made no pricing determination about it either way.

Essentials is $59 a month. Professional is $99. Premium is $199. Hot Take is $20, one price for everyone. That’s the whole list.

Where they beat us

Simplify ships a Chrome extension that autofills applications across job boards. We don’t have one, and for pure form-filling speed it beats anything we offer.

LazyApply Basic is $99 a year — genuinely less than any plan we sell, by a wide margin. If applying at volume for the lowest possible price is what you want, we are not the cheaper option.

LoopCV publishes a public REST API. We don’t.

We don’t auto-apply at all. If firing off applications at volume is the thing you want, one of these tools is a better fit than we are.

The one thing we couldn’t find anywhere else

We record the provenance of every application you mark as applied — what was sent, where, and when. We surveyed eight tools in this category and found none whose public materials describe doing the same.

How we determined the two without published job-seeker pricing

Jobright: its job-seeker pricing page returns a 404, checked directly. That is a positive finding, which is why Jobright is named above.

ApplyBlast: we rendered the site — it is client-side rendered, returning 35 bytes of text on a plain fetch and 14,039 bytes after a headless render — and found no price on the rendered page. We also checked its four-URL sitemap and its help subdomain. We could not find a price. That is a weaker basis than a 404, so we do not claim ApplyBlast publishes no price, only that we could not find one.
