Teal

What it does

Teal is built around the idea that a resume shouldn’t be a static document you write once — it should be tailored to each job you apply to, and tracked alongside the rest of your search. The free resume builder lets users create and store multiple versions of a resume, while the job application tracker (accessible via a Chrome extension) saves postings directly from job boards and extracts the job description automatically. From there, Teal’s match scorer compares a resume’s wording against that specific posting and updates live as edits are made, rather than producing a one-time static report.

Where Teal differs from most other tools in this category is scope: it isn’t only a resume builder, it’s a job-search dashboard that happens to include one. That makes it a stronger fit for someone managing many applications at once than for someone who just needs a single polished resume and nothing else. The AI cover letter generator and resume analytics extend the same idea — writing and tracking materials in the same place rather than in separate apps.

Teal’s paid tier, Teal+, unlocks unlimited AI resume generation, the full match scorer, and resume analytics, but its pricing is split across weekly, monthly, and quarterly options rather than a single flat subscription, with no annual plan as of mid-2026. Anyone considering the paid tier should compare the total cost of each billing cadence rather than assuming the lowest-looking number is the cheapest option over time.

Ideal users

• Job seekers applying to many roles at once who want a single place to track applications alongside building resumes
• People who want to tailor one base resume to several similar job postings without starting from scratch each time
• Users who want a genuinely usable free tier before deciding whether to pay for deeper AI features

Who should avoid it

• You want a single flat subscription price — Teal's pricing is split across weekly, monthly, and quarterly options with no annual plan, and the weekly option is expensive if left running
• You want an expert human review of your resume included by default — that's a Rezi feature, not a Teal one
• You're not actively tracking multiple applications — the job tracker is a core part of Teal's value, and you'd be paying for a feature you won't use
• You want deep design customization — Teal's templates are clean but comparatively plain next to Kickresume or Enhancv's visual options

Key features

• AI resume builder with job-specific bullet point suggestions
• Job description match scorer that compares your resume's keywords against a saved job posting
• Job application tracker with a Chrome extension that saves postings directly from job boards
• AI cover letter generator
• Resume analytics on Teal+ (e.g., tracking views and engagement on shared resume links)
• Career Hub resource library included on the free plan

Pricing

Free — $29/month (Teal+)

Teal's free plan includes unlimited job tracking, the Chrome extension, a basic resume builder, and the Career Hub library, with AI features such as unlimited resume generation and the match scorer capped at a small number of credits. As of mid-2026, Teal+ is priced at $13/week, $29/month, or $79/quarter, with no annual plan.

Typical workflows

• A job seeker saves a posting to the Teal job tracker via the Chrome extension, then uses the match scorer to tailor their base resume's keywords to that specific listing before applying.
• Someone managing a dozen open applications uses the tracker as a single dashboard to see application stage, follow-up dates, and which tailored resume version went to which employer.

Integrations

• Chrome extension for saving jobs from job boards
• LinkedIn profile import
• PDF and Word resume export

Privacy & security notes

Teal's privacy policy states it does not sell personal information, but career content (resumes, cover letters, job-search history) may be used in anonymized, aggregated form to improve its AI models, and account deletion removes stored data except records legally required for billing. Content processed by third-party AI providers is also subject to those providers' own policies, so avoid uploading identifying details you wouldn't want retained if job-searching discreetly while employed.
