Teal vs. Huntr

For a search of about 50 applications, Teal is the better fit, and its free plan covers the whole search: every job you save keeps its own resume version, contacts, follow-up date and stage checklist. Huntr's free plan tracks up to 100 jobs but includes 2 job-tailored resumes, so from the third application on, a job-tailored resume needs Huntr Pro.

Comparisons of these two often split the work: Huntr for tracking, Teal for tailoring. But for people who land offers, those are one job, not two. In Teal's data, those job seekers tailored a resume for every application. So the useful question is whether each application keeps its own resume, keyword check and next step in one place, without paying first. In Teal, it does: the top 5 keywords from each posting sit next to the resume you attached to that job. Prices are in the pricing section below.

What each free plan covers in a 50-application search

For its analysis "How Job Seekers Landed Offers in 2026 (And How You Can Too)," Teal looked at 14.5k people who tracked their 2025 job search in Teal all the way to an offer. Their routine was about 10 jobs saved and 5 applications a week, a tailored resume for each application, and an offer in about 2 months. The tailoring was small tweaks, not rewrites.

Over 8 weeks, that is about 80 saved jobs and 40 applications, each with its own version of your resume. This is how the two free plans handle that routine:

• Tracking: Teal's free plan has no cap on tracked jobs. Huntr's free plan holds up to 100 jobs, about 10 weeks at this pace.
• A resume for each application: Teal's free plan keeps unlimited resumes, and each saved job holds the version you sent. Huntr's free plan includes unlimited base resumes and 2 job-tailored resumes. Unlimited job-tailored resumes come with Huntr Pro.
• Checking each version against its posting: Teal lists the top 5 keywords from each posting for free. Huntr's free plan includes basic job matching and scoring.
• Contacts and follow-ups: both free plans track contacts. In Teal, each job and contact also carries a follow-up date, and each stage has a checklist and an email template.

So tracking is not where the two free plans part ways: at this pace, 80 saved jobs fit under Huntr's 100-job cap too. The resume is. Teal+ adds every keyword from each posting, unlimited AI writing and more templates when you want them.

Tracking applications, contacts and follow-ups

Huntr's job tracker is a kanban board: each job is a card that you drag from stage to stage. It also keeps an activity timeline, a contact tracker, uploaded documents, a map of job locations and metrics on your search.

Teal's Job Tracker is a table. You can sort it by column and group jobs by stage: Bookmarked, Applying, Applied, Interviewing, Negotiating and Accepted. With 50 open applications, sorting by follow-up date shows which jobs need you this week.

Each job in Teal holds the details you need for the next step: salary, location, the date you applied, a follow-up date, an excitement rating, notes, the contacts you linked to it and the resume you sent. Teal keeps the full job description, so it is still there after the posting comes down. Each stage has a checklist and email templates for messages such as a follow-up or a thank-you note.

Contacts live in Teal's Contacts tracker. You can add a contact by hand or save one from LinkedIn with the Chrome extension, give it a follow-up date, and link it to the active jobs it relates to.

Tailoring a resume for each job

Teal's free plan includes unlimited resumes, so you can keep a version for each job and attach it to that job in the tracker. Teal's Resume Job Description Match compares the resume with the job description. You get the top 5 keywords free, and Teal+ shows all of them and lets you add your own. You can start from scratch, upload a .docx or .pdf resume, import your LinkedIn profile, or paste text.

That is enough for the tailoring in Teal's data: move the matching skills and results up, use the posting's words where they are true, and save the version with the job.

Huntr's free plan includes unlimited base resumes, 2 job-tailored resumes and 2 application packets. Huntr Pro adds unlimited job-tailored resumes and unlimited AI resume tailoring.

Neither tool can guarantee that a resume will pass an employer's applicant tracking system or lead to an interview. A match score shows how closely your wording lines up with the posting. You still decide which skills and results belong on the page.

Saving jobs and filling in applications

Both tools save jobs from your browser. Teal's Chrome extension saves a job from any webpage into the Job Tracker, and on job pages it recognizes, it fills in the posting's details for you. Huntr's Job Clipper saves jobs to your Huntr board.

Huntr's extension also fills in job applications on its free plan, and each application it fills in is added to your board. Teal's extension saves jobs and contacts but does not fill in or submit applications. Autofill speeds up the form. It does not change the resume you attach, and that is the part worth your time.

Exports and devices

Teal exports resumes as PDF, with unlimited downloads on the free plan. It imports .docx and .pdf files, so a resume you wrote in Word comes with you. Huntr exports PDF or DOCX, and Huntr says its DOCX export uses a standardized template.

Teal runs in desktop and laptop browsers, and its extension works in Chrome on a computer. Huntr has iOS and Android apps for browsing job sites and saving jobs to your board, alongside its web app and extension.

Teal vs Huntr pricing

Teal+ costs $13 every 7 days, $29 every 30 days or $79 every 90 days. Huntr Pro costs $40 a month, $90 every 3 months or $160 every 6 months. Huntr has no weekly plan. Neither offers a free trial, and both have a free plan.

What you pay depends on how long your search runs. Teal bills in 7-, 30- and 90-day periods and Huntr by the month, so this table counts the search in weeks and shows the cheapest list price that covers it on each tool:

In Teal's data, an offer took about 2 months, the 8 weeks used above. Paying for all of it costs $58 on Teal+ and $80 on Huntr Pro. On Teal, you do not have to: that routine fits the free plan, and Teal+ is there if you want every keyword and unlimited AI writing. Teal+ renews until you cancel. You can cancel either plan at any time, and access lasts until the end of the period you paid for.
