How to use the platform for free
Use the free plan strategically, then upgrade only when export and speed needs justify it.
A free plan can be enough if you use it with intention. The key is understanding when free features support your job-search pace and when limitations begin to cost you time or quality. This guide helps you decide with clear trade-offs.
What is included for free
- Access to a selection of resume templates.
- Full resume and cover letter editing.
- Unlimited saving and document storage.
- TXT download on the free plan.
- Shareable link to your document (no download needed for the recipient).
What requires a paid plan
- Unlimited PDF and Word exports.
- Access to all premium templates.
- Advanced customisation options (accent colours, font choices).
- Priority support.
Getting the most from the free plan
If you are applying for roles actively, the free plan export limit may be enough for a short search. Export your finalized resume once you are satisfied rather than downloading drafts repeatedly. Use the shareable link for situations where a download is not strictly required.
