Who it's for

- Applicants who want ATS match scores and keyword comparisons before submitting a CV.
- Job seekers managing multiple applications who need the Pro tracker and reminders alongside their application materials.
Not the right fit if…
- People who need a job application tracker on the Free plan: the page lists the tracker as a Pro feature.
