A third option: Ruubu
Ruubu is not a tracker-first tool like Teal or a scanner-first tool like Jobscan. It checks the resume for free, matches it to a job link, then helps write the resume, cover letter and interview prep for that job, and translates it into 15 languages.
It has no extension and no auto-apply, so pairing Ruubu with a free tracker is common.
Try Ruubu with a job link- A free resume check out of 100 on 14 rules, with no account.
- A free match score from any job link; a tailored version per job on Pro ($19.99/mo).
- Cover letters, interview prep kits and translation into 15 languages on the Resume Pass ($7.99/mo).
- The Resume Pass starts with a 7-day free trial, and we email you before the trial ends. Ruubu bills once a month ($7.99/mo for the Resume Pass), you cancel in one click in Settings, and your first payment is refundable in full for 7 days.
- No browser extension, no mobile app and no pre-written phrase library.
