We’ve found that this structure helps people pick what’s right for them without paying for stuff they don’t need. But let’s break down the details a bit more.

Free vs Premium: What’s Included?

Starting out, you don’t have to commit financially right away. Our free tier lets you create a profile, upload your resume, and get matched with jobs. It’s a great way to test the waters without any pressure.

But here’s the thing — if you want to leverage the full power of our AI, premium features make a huge difference. From unlimited applications to advanced matching algorithms that really understand what you want, the upgrade can speed things up.

Free Tier Highlights:

  • Create your profile and upload resumes in common formats
  • Receive a limited number of job matches every week
  • Track your applications with basic tools

Premium Features You’ll Appreciate:

  • Powerful AI matching with relevance scores
  • Unlimited job applications — no caps
  • Priority visibility to employers searching candidates
  • Detailed analytics on your job search progress
  • Custom alerts tailored to your job preferences

Honestly, what users tell us is that once they try the premium features, it’s hard to go back — the time saved and opportunities surfaced feel worth it.

Monthly Subscription Plans Make It Easy

Our monthly plans are flexible, with no long-term contracts locking you in. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime, which means you’re always in control.

Plan Breakdown:

Most folks start with the Professional plan since it balances cost with features like unlimited applications and priority support. But here’s the full lineup:

Plan Monthly Price Key Features Best For
Basic $29 Standard AI matching, 50 applications Entry-level seekers
Professional $49 Advanced matching, unlimited apps, priority support Active job hunters
Executive $99 Premium matching, exec search, personal consultant Senior-level roles

So if you’re testing the waters or just want a solid option without too much commitment, the Basic plan is a good starting point. But the Professional plan really ramps up your job search efficiency.

Why Annual Subscriptions Can Save You Money

If you know you’ll be job searching or recruiting for a while, annual plans give you more bang for your buck — basically two months free compared to monthly payments.

Besides the financial perk, annual subscribers get extra goodies:

  • Priority customer support so you get help faster
  • Early access to new AI features as we roll them out
  • Quarterly consultations to tweak your strategy
  • Enhanced profile optimization tools to boost your visibility

From our experience, committing to an annual plan encourages consistent engagement, which usually leads to better outcomes.

Enterprise and Team Pricing That Scales

For companies or career services teams, we offer customized pricing based on your size and needs. We want to make sure you’re not paying for features or seats you don’t use, so we tailor everything.

Enterprise Tier Starting Price User Range Features
Small Business $500/month 5-25 users Basic team tools, shared analytics
Mid-Market $1,500/month 25-100 users Advanced HR integrations, dedicated support

We also support integrations with popular HR platforms, so your team can keep workflows smooth and automated. Plus, our AI-driven interview scheduling and evaluation tools come standard in enterprise plans to help you manage candidates end-to-end.

What Extra Fees Should You Watch For?

  • Resume professional review: $99 one-time
  • LinkedIn profile optimization: $149 one-time
  • Interview coaching: $75 per hour
