You do not need a weekly job-search seat to ship a resume this week. You also do not need to guess what "free" means until the PDF download asks for a card.
Wizume's catalog is simple: Free and Pro Monthly. See current prices on pricing. Rechecked 8 September 2026 (USD): Free $0/mo, Pro $19/mo. UK and EU locales show £14.99 / €14.99 for Pro on the money lock — confirm the number your locale shows on /pricing before you pay.
UK readers: same product if you say CV. Same document.
This is not a roundup of every builder. It is Free vs Pro for people applying this week.

What Free is for
Free is for getting a usable master out the door.
- Build one resume in a parser-safe, single-column layout.
- Export unlimited master PDFs after signup.
- Try the application loop once a month: one AI improvement, one JD-weighted ATS score, one cover letter.
- Three templates — Modern, Classic, Simple — not a design catalog of hundreds.
If you are sending one or two tailored applications this week and you still have free quota, Free is enough. Paste a job, tailor a copy of the master (the master stays), write a matching letter, score keyword and formatting fit. That is the application loop — not a buyable "pack," not a PAYG wallet, and not a lifetime seat.
What Pro Monthly is for
Pro is for an active search — many roles, many tailored copies, many letters.
You get unlimited resumes, unlimited AI improvements, unlimited JD-weighted ATS scores, unlimited cover letters, all twelve parser-safe templates, DOCX export, and priority support. Cancel anytime. We do not sell Pro Annual or Pro Lifetime as buyable plans.
Upgrade on pricing when free monthly limits are the bottleneck — not because a download is held hostage behind a fake "free" button.
Free vs a weekly job-search subscription
Some tools sell a weekly or short-cycle seat for CRM, tracking, and employer-form autofill. If you live in a free tracker with autofill, use that. Teal-class products win that job.
Wizume does not autofill employer forms. Our Chrome extension clips this tab's job listing into the tailor flow. It does not read your LinkedIn profile. We do not publish a named job-board list.
Choose Wizume if you want a free master PDF, parser-safe templates, and a clear Free → Pro Monthly path when you need unlimited AI, ATS, and letters — without a weekly seat for features we do not offer.
What neither plan is
- Not a named-ATS certification (not Workday / Greenhouse / Taleo "certified"). ATS means JD keyword + formatting score. Employer setups differ.
- Not a LinkedIn scrape or write-back. Import is a user-exported PDF; LinkedIn optimizer is paste-only.
- Not guaranteed interviews. No tool can promise that.
- Not "trained on millions of resumes" theater. We do not invent user counts or review stars.
Guest resume checker ≠ paid ATS score. The guest preview never calls OpenAI. The signed-in score is a separate, opt-in run.
How to decide this week
- Need a clean master PDF today? Start Free.
- Still inside free monthly AI / ATS / letter limits? Stay Free; tailor copies for the roles that matter.
- Hitting the wall every few applications? Pro Monthly on pricing.
- Need CRM + autofill more than a builder loop? A tracker suite may fit better — we will not pretend we autofill.
FAQ
Is the free resume builder really free?
Yes for the master: one resume, unlimited master PDF exports, limited monthly AI / ATS / cover letter. Exact Free vs Pro rows live on pricing.
Do I need Pro to download a PDF?
Unlimited master PDF is on Free after signup. Pro unlocks more resumes, all templates, DOCX, and unlimited AI / ATS / letters. Do not invent other gates.
Is there a pay-per-job pack or lifetime plan?
No. New sales are Free and Pro Monthly only. We do not sell Application Pack checkout, credit packs, annual, or lifetime for new purchases.
Resume or CV?
Same product. US default says resume. UK (en-GB) says CV.
Create the master, then upgrade if you need to
