ApplyMate Cover Letter Generator vs VisualCV

ApplyMate Cover Letter Generator turns an uploaded resume and pasted job ad into a tailored cover letter. It accepts PDF, DOC, or DOCX resumes up to 2 MB and produces a three-paragraph letter of 180–220 words, ready to paste into an application form. The maker says the letter draws on both documents, uses their language, and should include only facts evidenced by the resume rather than invented skills, employers, titles, certifications, or metrics. The first complete letter is free as plain text that users can copy and edit. Paid access allows in-place editing and provides a formatted PDF alongside a tailored resume. A second letter shows its opening paragraph and a price for the rest. The free Chrome extension can read job postings on LinkedIn, Indeed, and most job boards when clicked; ApplyMate says it does not send the description until the user presses its button. Uploaded resumes are retained for as long as the service operates. Users can email [email protected] to request deletion of the uploaded file, extracted text, and job ad; the completed letter remains on its page as the user's only copy.
