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.
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.
The short version
| Free | Pro Monthly | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Ship a master resume; try the loop once | Active searchers who need unlimited tailor + ATS + cover |
| Resumes | 1 | Unlimited |
| Master PDF | Unlimited (signed-in master) | Unlimited |
| AI / tailor / ATS / cover | 1 free application pack (lifetime), then Pro | Unlimited |
| Templates | 3 (Modern, Classic, Simple) | All 12 |
| DOCX export | No | Yes |
| Priority support | No | Yes |
Free AI depth is one free application pack (lifetime) — then Pro Monthly. The master resume PDF stays free.
Free forever — upgrade when you need more. No trial tricks, no surprise charges.
Start on the free resume builder. Upgrade on pricing.
What Free is for
Free is for getting a usable master out the door — and trying the application loop once.
- Build one resume in a parser-safe, single-column layout.
- Export unlimited master PDFs after signup.
- One free application pack (lifetime): the first full tailor + cover + ATS workflow (tailor + cover + ATS) or any single tailor, ATS, cover letter, or AI improve run (AI improve / ATS / cover / standalone tailor) uses it. After that → Pro Monthly only.
- Three templates — Modern, Classic, Simple — not hundreds of designs.
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.
What Pro Monthly is for
Pro is for an active search after the free application pack — many roles, many tailored copies, many letters.
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.
You used your free application pack. Pro Monthly unlocks unlimited tailor + ATS + cover letters for active searches.
Free vs a weekly job-search subscription
Some tools sell a weekly 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 for a free master PDF, one free application pack, parser-safe templates, and Pro Monthly when you need unlimited loop — without a weekly seat for features we do not offer.
What neither plan is
- Not a named-ATS certification. ATS means JD keyword + formatting score. Employer setups differ.
- Not a LinkedIn scrape or write-back.
- Not guaranteed interviews.
- Not invented user counts or review stars.
Guest resume checker ≠ paid ATS score. The guest checker doesn't run the AI model.
How to decide this week
- Need a clean master PDF today? Start Free.
- Still have your free application pack? Use it on the role that matters most.
- Pack used and still applying hard? Pro Monthly on pricing.
- Need CRM + autofill more than a builder loop? A tracker suite may fit better — we will not pretend we autofill.
