HeroApply vs Simplify

HeroApply finds jobs that match a resume, answers screening questions, and submits applications automatically. Its desktop Auto Apply flow works alongside job boards, fills applications from a resume, and tracks them in a dashboard. The iOS and Android apps show matched jobs one at a time, with a right swipe submitting an application and a left swipe skipping it. Users can set job titles and preferences for cloud Autopilot, which runs without a laptop staying open. HeroApply names LinkedIn and Indeed among the job boards it works with. Paid plans include AI resume tailoring and personalized cover letters, and the service says its resumes are real-text PDFs that applicant tracking systems can read. The free plan allows up to five applications daily; paid plans remove the cap and include cloud Autopilot. HeroApply is available on Android, iOS, web, and as a browser extension. Its privacy notice says accounts are invitation-only and the service is in private testing. Pro costs $39.99 a month; Ultra is listed at $79.99 a year, billed every three months.

Simplify helps job seekers find roles, prepare applications, and keep track of their search through web, browser-extension, and iOS tools. It says it indexes postings from more than 50 job boards and company career pages each day, then ranks them against a user's preferences and experience. The free plan includes job matches, autofill, and a job tracker. Copilot supports career sites and applicant tracking systems including Workday, Lever, Greenhouse, Ashby, iCIMS, and Taleo; browser support includes Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Arc. Firefox is beta and has no SLA or warranty. Simplify+ adds resume tailoring, bullet rewrites, keyword-gap identification, AI feedback, cover letters, and responses to open-ended application questions. Generated writing can be reviewed and edited before submission. Paid features also include follow-up and recruiter emails, referral requests, networking drafts, and job popularity analytics. Listed Simplify+ prices are $19.99 a month for a one-week term, $39.99 a month for one month, and $89.99 a month for three months. The iOS app requires iOS 17 or later and is currently iOS-only; its resume builder and cover letter generator are web-only. Autopilot provides 20 credits a week, with no rollover or additional purchases currently available.
