MyCoverLetters
MyCoverLetters is a web service that uses AI to draft cover letters tailored to a resume and pasted job description. Resumes can be uploaded as PDF, DOCX, or TXT files, and users can select from tones such as Professional, Enthusiastic, Conversational, Formal, and Creative. The AI extracts job-posting keywords and matches them to resume skills for ATS optimization. Users can give feedback, regenerate a letter, or edit sections manually, then download the result as PDF or DOCX. The site offers more than 12 templates across eight industries, downloadable without an account. A guest can create one free letter without registering, but guest letters are not saved. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one resume upload and three cover letters. Pay Per Letter costs $3.50, paid once, with credits that do not expire and no subscription required. Premium costs $4.99 a month and includes unlimited resumes and letters, AI refinement, keyword matching, and public portfolio and private application pages. The service says it uses TLS/HTTPS and lists email support that typically responds within 24 hours.
