Novorésumé vs Teal

Novorésumé is a web-based tool for creating resumes and cover letters, with templates designed to be ATS-friendly. Users can download formatted resumes or CVs as PDFs, and PDF downloads are available on all plans. The AI toolkit includes resume building, ATS checking, job matching, cover-letter generation, and professional bios. Free users get two uses per month for each AI tool; Premium users get 10. Each tool can be used once without signing up, while an account saves results and provides unlimited access to each tool.

The free Basic plan allows one version and a one-page resume. Premium is listed at $23.99 a month, billed once with no recurring billing, and allows a resume or CV of up to 10 pages. The CV maker works on phones, tablets, and desktops, synchronizing CVs across devices. Novorésumé uses OpenAI and Anthropic for some AI features and says those providers do not use user data to train their models. Personal data is retained on its servers as long as needed, up to six years after last use.

Teal is a career and job-search platform with an AI resume builder for creating resumes and adapting them to job descriptions. Users can start from scratch, upload a PDF or Word document, paste text, or import LinkedIn content. The builder compares a resume with a job description, gives a Match Score, and suggests keywords and content improvements. Its 10 ATS-friendly templates offer controls for layout, fonts, spacing, colors, and section order. Free accounts can create and download unlimited resumes as PDFs and use basic analysis, but AI generation credits are limited. Teal says DOC and DOCX exports are not currently offered. Its Chrome extension saves jobs from supported boards including Indeed, Glassdoor, and Built In, and is for Chrome on desktop or laptop devices. The free plan includes the top five job-description keywords. Paid plans are listed at $13 a month with weekly billing, $29 a month billed monthly, and $79 a month billed quarterly. There is no general free trial.
