RezoCV compared to Jobscan, Teal and Rezi

Short answer: Jobscan costs $49.95 a month and is the most thorough on ATS formatting. Teal is $29 for 30 days and is the best job tracker. Rezi is $29 a month, or $149 once, and is the best place to start if you have no CV yet. RezoCV is €19 a month, the cheapest of the four, and the only one that does not sell unlimited scans, because it is built to prepare a few applications properly rather than fifty quickly.

I built RezoCV, so read this the way you would read any comparison written by someone with a stake in it. I have tried to make that easy: every price below comes from the tool's own pricing page, checked in August 2026, and I have said plainly where a competitor does something RezoCV does not.

The prices, side by side

Two things stand out. RezoCV is the cheapest per month, and it is the only one that sells an annual plan rather than a lifetime deal or a rolling subscription. It is also the only one not selling "unlimited", which is the real difference and the rest of this article is mostly about why.

What each one is genuinely good at

Jobscan is the most thorough on ATS specifics

Jobscan identifies which applicant tracking system a posting uses and tailors its formatting advice to it. Paste the job link and it reads the domain: myworkdayjobs.com is Workday, boards.greenhouse.io is Greenhouse, taleo.net is Taleo. Then it shows the formatting notes specific to that system.

Worth being precise about what this is, because the marketing around it invites a bigger reading. It does not connect to the employer's ATS, and it does not run your CV through it. Nothing is tested against anything. It detects the system from the URL and shows you the advice for it, which you then apply yourself.

It is also worth knowing how much of that advice is actually system-specific. The recommendations are largely the same set everywhere: single column, standard fonts, ordinary section headings, dates written consistently, no graphics or tables. Those rules hold for Workday and Greenhouse and Taleo alike, for the same underlying reason, which is that all of them extract text before anything else happens. What an ATS actually reads goes through that extraction in detail.

RezoCV does this too now. Writing this comparison is what prompted it: the detection was already in the codebase, used to work out whether a posting could be fetched automatically, and the answer was thrown away instead of being shown to anyone. It now appears on the audit, it costs no credits, and it labels job boards as boards rather than pretending LinkedIn is an employer's tracking system.

Jobscan's version covers more systems and has years more detail behind it. If that specific checklist is what you are paying for, that is a fair reason to pay for it.

Jobscan is also the most expensive here by a wide margin. At $49.95 a month it costs more than twice what RezoCV does, and the quarterly plan still works out to $29.98 a month.

Teal is the best job tracker

Teal's strength is not the CV analysis, it is the organisation around it. Bookmarking roles, tracking application status, taking notes, managing multiple CV versions: if your problem is that you have twenty applications in flight and no idea what state each one is in, Teal solves that better than anything else here.

Its pricing is unusual. $13 every seven days is the entry point, which is cheap to try and expensive to keep. The 90-day plan at $79 is the one that makes sense if you stay.

RezoCV vs Teal goes through that comparison on its own, including whether it makes sense to run both.

Rezi is the best starting point if you have no CV yet

Rezi is a resume builder first. If you are starting from a blank page, its templates and AI writer will get you to a finished document faster than the others. The $149 lifetime option is genuinely good value if you expect to job hunt repeatedly over several years.

RezoCV assumes you already have a CV. It imports one and works on it. If you do not have one, start with Rezi and come back.

RezoCV vs Rezi covers that pair in detail, including whether the lifetime licence is worth taking.

What RezoCV does that the others do not

It charges for what things cost

Every tool above sells unlimited use for a flat fee. That sounds better and mostly is not, for a reason that only shows up once you look at what the operations actually cost to run.

The tasks in a job application are not the same size. Reading a job posting and pulling out its demands is small. Scoring a CV against it is small. A mock interview is seven separate model calls, each carrying the whole growing transcript, and costs roughly two and a half times what a complete application pack does.

A flat "unlimited" price has to be set high enough to cover the heaviest user. So the careful candidate who prepares four applications properly and rehearses twice pays the same as somebody firing off sixty. One of those two is subsidising the other.

RezoCV prices each operation at what it costs to serve. One credit is a fixed amount of model spend, and every price traces back to a measured cost:

• Reading a job posting: 8 credits
• Scoring your CV against it: 9 credits
• Rewriting your experience section: 10 credits
• A cover letter: 9 credits
• One interview question and its critique: 12 credits

A complete application is 36 credits. The €19 monthly plan is not sized for sending a hundred of them, and that is deliberate.

It argues against volume

This is where RezoCV disagrees with the category rather than competing inside it.

Unlimited scans encourage a specific behaviour: apply to more things, faster. And the evidence that this works is thin. A popular role gets several hundred applicants within days, and a human never reaches most of them. Being the four hundredth mediocre application is not better than being the fortieth good one.

The five jobs of a job application breaks down where applications actually fail. Volume fixes none of those five. It usually makes the first one worse, because tailoring fifty CVs properly is not something anybody does.

So RezoCV's plans are sized for preparing applications carefully. If you want to send two hundred applications a month, one of the unlimited tools genuinely suits you better.

It will tell you when you are not a fit

Most tools in this space are optimisers. You give them a CV and a posting and they tell you how to close the gap. RezoCV does that too, but it also scores the fit and sometimes the honest answer is that the gap is too wide.

Padding a CV with keywords you cannot discuss does not fail at the screening stage. It fails in the interview, after you have spent a week getting there. What an ATS actually reads covers where using the employer's vocabulary stops being accurate writing and starts being invention.

Interview practice is included

Jobscan sells Interview Practice as a separate paid add-on. Teal does not have it. Rezi includes an AI Interview.

In RezoCV, interview prep and mock interview questions come out of the same credit balance as everything else. No separate purchase, no different plan.

Which one to pick

Honestly:

• You know the employer's ATS and want advice specific to it. Jobscan.
• Your problem is tracking twenty applications. Teal.
• You have no CV yet. Rezi.
• You have a CV, you are applying carefully to a manageable number of roles, and you want to know whether each one is worth your evening. RezoCV.

If you want to try it, the free trial is 35 credits over three days: enough to import your CV and see it scored against a real posting, which is the part that tells you whether any of this is useful to you.

A note on what is missing here

This comparison is built on public pricing and features. What it does not yet have is the thing I actually want to show you: the same CV and the same job posting run through all four tools, with the four outputs side by side.

That test is being run and this article will be updated with the results. I would rather publish something narrower and true now than something wider that I made up.

Questions people ask before switching

What is the cheapest Jobscan alternative?

RezoCV at €19 a month is the cheapest of the four tools compared here, against Jobscan's $49.95. Teal is $29 for 30 days and Rezi is $29 a month. Rezi also sells a one-off lifetime licence at $149, which works out cheapest of all if you expect to job hunt repeatedly over several years.

Is Jobscan worth $49.95 a month?

It depends on how long you need it. Jobscan is the only tool here that names the applicant tracking system behind a posting and gives formatting advice specific to it, and its keyword analysis is the most detailed. It is also three to five times the price of the alternatives, and a common complaint is that a high match score does not fix a weak CV. If you are between jobs and watching your budget, the free tier's five scans a month cover the basic check.

Do these tools actually get your CV past an ATS?

Not in the way the marketing implies. Applicant tracking systems rarely reject anyone automatically. What they do is search and rank, so a CV whose text does not extract cleanly cannot be found in a recruiter's search. These tools help by catching that extraction problem and by showing which words from the posting are missing. None of them submits anything to an employer's system or predicts what one would do.

What is the difference between credits and unlimited scans?

Unlimited means one flat fee however much you use, which sounds better and mostly is not: the careful candidate preparing four applications subsidises the one firing off sixty. RezoCV prices each operation at what it costs to run, so a complete application is 36 credits and a mock interview costs more than a cover letter because it genuinely costs more to produce. The plans are sized for preparing applications carefully rather than sending many.

Can I use these tools for free?

All four have a free tier and none of them needs a card to start. Jobscan gives five scans a month, Rezi one resume and three downloads, Teal a limited set of AI credits, and RezoCV 35 credits over three days. The free tiers are enough to judge whether a tool is useful to you, and not enough to run a job search with.
