A Resume.io alternative for people who just want the file
Resume.io is a polished product with a large template gallery and a subscription to match. This page is about what you are actually buying from each of us, because the two tools are optimised for different things and only one of them is the thing you probably need.
Two different products wearing the same label
Resume.io is built around choice. Dozens of templates, colour and font controls, cover letters, a stored account, a dashboard of documents. It is a document suite for your career, and it is priced as an ongoing service because that is what it is.
We are built around one output. There is a single single-column layout, no colour picker, no gallery. The entire product is: get the content right, export a PDF that parses cleanly, leave. That is a narrower thing, and for most people applying to jobs this month it is the whole job.
The subscription question
A job search has a beginning and an end. A subscription does not — it renews until you remember to stop it, and the moment you are least likely to remember is right after you have accepted an offer and stopped thinking about resumes altogether.
That mismatch is the real argument here, not a price comparison. $29 once, or $3 for the week you are actually applying, matches the shape of the need. We do also sell a monthly plan, and it renews like any other — which is why the download screen now says so in plain words rather than hiding it behind a checkbox.

We link to Resume.io’s own pricing page rather than quoting a figure here, because theirs changes and a stale number in our favour would not be a fair comparison. Ours are above and they are the real ones.
Where Resume.io is stronger
The cover letter builder is a real feature and we do not have one yet. If you are applying somewhere that asks for a letter and you want it to match the resume visually, that is a reason to use them.
Its account also means your documents follow you between devices and survive a wiped browser. Ours do not: the draft sits in your browser, which is why we can promise we never see it, and equally why clearing your site data clears your work. Export the PDF when you are done and keep it somewhere — that is the honest trade.
And if the variety is the point — if you want to try nine designs before deciding — we are the wrong tool. We have one layout because we think layout choice is where resumes get broken, but that is a judgement, not a fact about your taste.
Check the output, whichever you use
The useful thing to do before paying anyone is to find out whether your current resume survives being read by a machine. Run it through our resume checker — it parses the PDF in your own browser, shows you the text that survives, and flags the layout problems that cause the damage.
It works on a Resume.io export just as well as on ours, and it costs nothing. If the report comes back clean, keep the resume you have.
Try it before you pay anything
Build the whole resume and see it finished on screen without an account. If it is not better than what you have, close the tab — you will not have given us an email address, let alone a card.
