Teal vs Zety

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.
