AI Tools for Job Seekers: 8 Tools With Verified Prices, From CV Builders to Interview Practice

 

A job search runs in order: build a CV, tailor it, track applications, practise interviews, stay visible to recruiters. The AI tools for job seekers below follow that order, with every price checked on the vendor's own site on 1 November 2026. One tool's own pages disagreed on its price; this article uses only the figure on its pricing page, checked today. Start free; confirm the checkout figure before you pay.

Part of INORYVA's series on AI tools by profession. The first post covers AI tools for real estate agents; the same rule applies: verified prices and the catch named for every tool.

1. LinkedIn Premium Career: be seen by recruiters before you apply

LinkedIn is where recruiters search first, so visibility is the job here, not CV writing. Premium Career shows who viewed your profile and includes LinkedIn Learning. Its outreach tool is InMail: 5 messages a month to hiring managers outside your network. Price, on LinkedIn's own page: $39.99 a month or $239.88 a year in the US, and £29.99 a month or £179.88 a year in the UK. LinkedIn's caveat: estimates, may exclude VAT/GST and discounts, subject to change. The catch: five InMail messages run out fast in an active search.

2. Teal: build unlimited CVs and track the whole search free

Teal combines a resume builder with a job tracker, so each application keeps its own tailored CV version. The Free Forever plan is unusually generous: unlimited resumes and tracking, 10 templates, PDF export, limited AI credits, and basic analysis and job-posting matching. Teal+ costs $13 every 7 days, $29 every 30 days, or $79 every 90 days, recurs until cancelled, and unlocks unlimited AI generation, full keyword matching and the full template library. AI interview practice is included: limited sessions free, unlimited on Teal+. Catch: the weekly plan is dearest over a long search.

3. Rezi: an ATS-focused builder with a human review on Pro

Rezi builds resumes for applicant tracking systems (ATS), the software that screens applications before a person reads them, with AI keyword targeting. The free plan costs $0 and needs no card: one resume, 3 PDF downloads, limited AI tools, and unlimited cover and resignation letters. Pro is $29 a month for unlimited resumes, full AI capabilities and unlimited downloads, plus one free monthly expert review by a person. Lifetime is a $149 one-time payment with everything in Pro except the monthly review. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. For AI resume builder tools compared on price, weigh Lifetime against a monthly plan you might forget to cancel — but one free resume is a hard limit for tailoring to many jobs.

4. Kickresume: strong templates and one free AI resume

Kickresume is a template-led builder. Its free plan is workable: unlimited resumes and downloads within the free customisation options, across 4 customisable templates, plus 1 full AI resume. Premium costs $24 a month, $18 a month quarterly, or $8 a month billed annually — $96 a year. Students and teachers get 6 months of Premium free with full access; teachers changing careers may also want the guide to AI tools for teachers. Catch: $8 needs a full year upfront.

5. Jobscan: tailor the CV you already have to one job description

Jobscan is not primarily a resume writer. It is an optimiser: paste in a job description and it scores your existing resume against it in a Match Report, with keyword gaps and ATS tips. Premium costs $49.95 a month or $89.95 a quarter — about $29.99 a month effective — with no yearly plan. Free: a few resume scans a month, an unlimited resume builder, and a 7-day Premium trial listed. Auto Apply is included for Premium users with 2 free credits a month, then packs of 5 for $8.50, 10 for $15, or 25 for $35. For AI CV tailoring ATS tools, Jobscan is the most focused option here. The catch: it is the priciest monthly subscription in this list.

6. Huntr: the application tracker that stops applications going missing

The failure is usually organisation: a missed follow-up, mixed-up CV versions, a forgotten deadline. Huntr is the AI job application tracker in this list, with autofill and contact management. The free plan tracks up to 100 jobs, with unlimited base resumes, up to 100 document uploads, autofill and an ad-free platform. Pro adds unlimited tailored resumes, unlimited AI generations, unlimited tracking and mock interview questions. Huntr's own help pages disagreed on the Pro price, so this article uses only the pricing page, checked on 1 November 2026: $40 a month, $90 every 3 months, or $160 every 6 months. The catch: no free trial of Pro.

7. Yoodli: practise interviews with an AI that answers back

Yoodli is the interview-practice specialist: AI roleplays with dynamic follow-up questions and feedback. Among AI interview practice tools, its free Starter plan is deliberately small — 5 lifetime sessions, each over 30 seconds. Pro is $8 a month billed annually, for up to 10 roleplays a week, live AI roleplays, feedback on uploaded recordings and community access. Advanced is $20 a month billed annually, adding unlimited roleplays, data exclusion from AI training, and professional-development reimbursement. The catch: paid prices are annual-billing prices, so the money leaves upfront. Older pages calling Yoodli completely free are stale — the current pricing page governs.

8. ChatGPT: the general assistant, labelled honestly

ChatGPT fills the eighth slot openly as a general assistant, not as a dedicated job-search tool: it has no ATS matching, no application tracking and no LinkedIn integration verified for this article. Use it for cover letters, interview practice, and job-description analysis. Price, from OpenAI's Help Center: ChatGPT Plus is $20 a month, billed monthly, with no annual billing. One rule covers every use in this post: verify every AI-written CV line against your real experience, and never let an AI invent a job, a skill or a qualification. That is advice, not a cited fact.

How to spot a fake job offer before you pay or share personal data

Fake listings now look as polished as real ones. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) puts the rule in one sentence: "Don't pay for the promise of a job." Honest employers, including the federal government, never ask you to pay to get a job. Ignore unexpected recruiter texts on WhatsApp or Telegram — real employers do not recruit that way. Watch for these red flags: a fee for training, materials or equipment before you start; a check to deposit with instructions to send money back (a fake-check scam); task scams where an app shows earnings you can never withdraw until you deposit money, often in crypto; and requests for bank details, a Social Security number or ID photos before a real offer exists. FTC data, as reported, put losses at $90 million in 2020 rising to $501 million in 2024 — fenced as reported data, not confirmed on an FTC page in this check. A real logo proves nothing: verify every offer through the company's own careers page before sharing personal data. Report scams to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Key Takeaways

  • Workflow: build with Teal, Rezi or Kickresume, tailor with Jobscan, track with Huntr, practise with Yoodli, stay visible with LinkedIn Premium Career. ChatGPT is the labelled general assistant, not a job-search tool.
  • Job search AI tools prices, checked 1 November 2026: LinkedIn Premium Career from $39.99/month (US) or £29.99/month (UK); Teal+ $13/7 days, $29/30 days or $79/90 days; Rezi Pro $29/month or $149 lifetime; Jobscan $49.95/month or $89.95/quarter; Huntr Pro $40/month; Kickresume from $8/month billed annually; Yoodli Pro $8/month billed annually; ChatGPT Plus $20/month.
  • Never pay to get a job. Ignore unexpected recruiter texts, never deposit a check and send money back, and verify every offer on the employer's own careers page. Report scams at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
  • Check every AI CV line against your real experience; no tool here is shown with evidence that it gets anyone hired.

Conclusion

Pick the tool that matches the stage you are stuck at, not the one with the longest feature list. Most job seekers need one builder, one tailoring pass per serious application, one tracker, and a few hours of interview practice. If your target is a law firm, the companion guide to AI tools for small law firms shows the tools on the employer side of the same hiring process. Start free, pay only for the stage costing you time, and cancel when the search ends.
