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.
