TL;DR: Resume Worded's free scan scores your resume and explains part of the report. Pro opens the rest for $49 a month, $99 every 3 months or $229 for a year, and a first purchase is not refunded. If you send a tailored resume to each job, Teal's free plan checks every version against the job it is for and keeps it with the application.
Resume Worded's free scan gave a sample resume 43 out of 100, named eight fixes and explained one. The other seven were marked Pro. So the free review tells you your score and that problems exist, not what most of them are. If you send a different resume to each job, Teal's free plan checks every version: its basic issues and the top keywords of the job it is for, next to the application in your tracker.
What do you get from Resume Worded's free resume review?
Teal ran a sample resume through Resume Worded on November 11, 2026. The resume was written for the test: one page for a marketing coordinator with three years of experience, two jobs and eight bullets, uploaded as a PDF with the career level set to mid-level.
Before it shows a score, Resume Worded asks you to create a free account with Google or an email address. On the sign-up form, a box for a weekly mentorship email was already checked. Uncheck it if you do not want the emails.
The score came back as 43/100, "based on 30+ recruiter and ATS screening checks", with a "potential" of 92. The report then splits into what is working and what to fix.
Which fixes does the free report explain?
Just one: length. The sample came in at 174 words, below the 400 to 700 Resume Worded expects at that career level, and that is a fair flag for three years of work. The other seven fixes on the list were marked Pro, each with the line "Found on your resume · unlock to see where": two wording improvements, an impact rewrite, a section rewrite, a recruiter signal, stronger phrasing and a formatting fix. Nine more checks sat behind a "Show 9 more checks" link. The report ended with "At least +49 points available" and a button to start AutoFix, and a "30% off" offer ran along the page. You can edit the resume and score the new version for free.
What did the free report miss?
Under what is working, it praised this bullet for showing "real scope and numbers": "Responsible for managing the company email newsletter sent to 18,000 subscribers each month." The number describes the list, not a result: no open rate, no growth, nothing that changed because of the work. A bullet that opens with "Responsible for" and shows no result names a duty, not an action. A stronger version starts with a verb and ends with what changed, using a number you can back up.
What does Resume Worded's free job description check show?
Teal also ran the same resume through Targeted Resume, the job description check, against a sample marketing coordinator posting. It returned a Relevancy Score of 83, labeled "Needs improvement", with advice to aim for at least 85.
The free view listed 15 keywords from the posting that it did not find on the resume, including Marketo, SaaS, ROI, SEO and segmentation. As a list of ideas, it is useful. Two entries need a second look. It flagged Marketo, though the posting asked for "HubSpot or Marketo" and the resume already names HubSpot. And it listed "Project", "Management" and "Automation" as separate missing skills, next to "Project Management" and "Marketing Automation". Editing the resume on that screen and watching the score change as you type is a Pro feature.
What does Resume Worded Pro add?
Pro opens the rest of the report and the paid tools. Its Pro page lists:
- The full Score My Resume report, including the line-by-line analysis.
- The full Targeted Resume report, which compares your resume with a job description and gives a Relevancy Score. A score under 80 suggests the resume is missing skills from the posting.
- LinkedIn Review's Keyword Analysis and networking templates.
- AutoFix, which rewrites your resume to fix the issues the score found and exports PDF, Word or plain text.
- More AI cover letters after the first free one.
Pro uploads are listed as unlimited. The terms add a fair-use cap: Score My Resume, Targeted Resume and LinkedIn Review, up to 250 uses a month. Uploads must be English resumes, as a PDF or DOCX file of 2MB or less.
If you use AutoFix, read every line it changes before you send the resume. A rewrite can add a claim or a number you cannot back up in an interview, and the hiring manager will ask about it.
How much is Resume Worded, and can you get a refund?
| Resume Worded Pro plan | Price | Per month | Billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $49 a month | $49 | Renews until you cancel |
| Quarterly | $99 every 3 months | $33 | Renews until you cancel |
| One year | $229, one payment | About $19 | A "one-time option" in the terms |
Paddle handles the billing as the merchant of record, with PayPal and major cards accepted. You have to cancel yourself, and the terms say so plainly: "It is the customer's responsibility to confirm the cancellation."
Resume Worded does not refund first-time buyers. A Pro member who forgot to cancel before a renewal has to get in touch within 48 hours of the billing date, and if they have not used the service since, they "may be eligible for a voucher/credit, or a partial refund", depending on the circumstances. Requests go through a form, and support replies within 72 hours.
Teal+ costs $29 every 30 days, against Resume Worded's $49 a month, or $79 every 90 days, against $99 every 3 months. Teal's free plan needs no credit card to start. Teal vs. Resume Worded has the cost of each over a short and a long search.
Is Resume Worded worth it if you apply to many jobs?
Not if you are sending many applications. In Teal's analysis of 14.5k people who tracked their 2025 search to an offer, the usual routine was about 5 applications a week, a tailored resume for each and an offer in about two months. That is about 40 versions of one resume, each worth checking against its own job. On Resume Worded, that check is the Targeted Resume report, and its full report is Pro.
Teal's free plan runs that check where you track the job. The Resume Checker scores each version from 0 to 100% and shows its basic issues, and the score updates as you edit. The Job Matcher puts a saved job's top five keywords next to the version you attach to it. You choose which to add, and if a bullet you already wrote covers one, you switch it on in that version instead of rewriting. Once you apply, the Job Tracker keeps that version with the application. Teal+ adds the full keyword list, custom keywords and advanced analysis.
