Best ATS resume checkers in 2026, free and paid

We did not sign up for or use the other tools here: what follows is read from their own public pages on the dates shown, with stated facts kept apart from marketing claims. How we review.

Jobapplier: read on 2026-10-31 from its public pages and public plans API on jobapplier.co, signed out, and from its code. The signed-in features are described from the code and its documentation, not from a hands-on run, and no application was sent for this site.

How we ordered this list

Whether the checker explains what its score measures.

How much you can check for free, and how often.
The paid price and the stated terms for leaving: trial, renewal, cancellation and refunds.
What it helps you do with the gaps: keyword lists, rewrites you approve.

No scores and no ratings: the order follows these criteria, applied to what each product's own pages state.

How this list was made

The order follows the criteria above, the first weighing most: a checker that says what it measures and checks against a real job description comes before one that does not. Every line comes from each checker’s own pages; none was used for this page. Teal’s lines are from 30 October 2026, as were Jobscan’s monthly price and free scans.

What these scores are

An “ATS score” is the checker’s own measure, not something an employer’s system reports. Jobscan gives a match rate out of 100 against the posting. Resume Worded scores the resume itself out of 100 and adds a targeted keyword check. Resume.io runs 16 checks and Enhancv 27. Huntr gives a band, poor, fair or great. Teal gives keywords free and a match score on Teal+.

Jobapplier is on the list for a different kind of match. It does not check how a resume is laid out. It scores each job in its own listings against your profile and your resume against that posting’s skills, read by a model trained on job postings. It lists English-language postings only and is a young product with no outcome data to show.

What is free

Jobscan: 5 scans a month. Resume Worded: the first review and re-uploads. Resume.io: the basic grade, for an e-mail address. Huntr: basic match scoring. Teal: the top five keywords. Enhancv: 7 days. Jobapplier: its scores on every plan.

Acting on the gaps

Jobscan’s AI Optimize and Resume Worded’s AutoFix both leave each suggested change for you to accept. Enhancv’s tailoring does the same. A checker that lists missing keywords is only useful if the keywords are true of you; add the ones you can back up.

Leaving

Jobscan’s refund window is 2 calendar days into a billing period, for an unused service, less a 3.5% fee. Resume Worded gives first-time buyers no refund. Resume.io’s trial renews at $29.95 every 4 weeks. Read the terms before you pay.

Auto apply	Auto Apply matches the user with jobs from Greenhouse, Lever, Workable and other ATS platforms and fills details from the resume and profile. [source]	Its pages do not say	Auto Apply fills and submits applications for the person; requests take 1-3 business days, run on credits bought as extra plans, and take no custom cover letter. The page names no job boards and no review step before submission. [source] Resume Distribution sends the resume to 50 recruiters a week (200 a month) in the US, EU, UK, Australia and Canada. [source]	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	The Agent applies only to jobs that fit one of the person's Apply rules and none of their Skip rules, on the single-page forms of eleven systems: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee, Rippling, Breezy, Teamtailor, Pinpoint, BambooHR and Personio. [source] A new account starts with one Skip rule (scores below 70) and no Apply rule, so nothing is sent until the person writes one. [source]
Autofill	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	The resume tailor page lists the extension's autofill as covering 9 ATS platforms, without naming them. [source] The Chrome Web Store listing (Huntr LLC, version 2.0.45, updated April 28, 2026) says the extension autofills application forms from the Huntr profile, works on thousands of sites and names Greenhouse and Lever. [source] The autofill page names LinkedIn, Indeed and employer websites; where a field does not fill, the user adds the detail. [source]	Its pages do not say	The Chrome extension fills forms on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday (multipage), iCIMS, SmartRecruiters and many other career sites; every AI-written answer is marked. [source]
Who presses Submit	Every Auto Apply application is reviewed by the user, and the user presses Submit. [source]	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	The Chrome listing describes the user submitting applications with its one-click quick apply. [source]	Teal's help centre says it does not submit applications for the user. [source] The user exports the resume from Teal and uploads it to the employer's application. [source]	In the extension the person presses Submit, the panel's Submit Application or the form's own; the extension never submits by itself and waits while a required field is empty. [source] Before the Agent presses Submit it takes a picture of the filled form; Review shows each question with the answer that went. [source]
Where jobs come from	Jobscan's job search jobs come from Indeed's API. [source]	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Jobs are saved by the user from other sites with the Chrome Job Clipper; Huntr does not describe finding jobs itself. [source]	Its job search lists jobs that it says come straight from company applicant tracking systems. [source]	Jobs are read every hour from employers' career pages on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and other applicant tracking systems, and LinkedIn postings are read with no account, only those whose Apply button leads to the employer's own site. [source]
LinkedIn	A LinkedIn optimization tool checks the profile against job postings; the page says full access often requires payment. [source]	LinkedIn Review gives feedback on the LinkedIn profile; the full analysis with keywords and networking templates is Pro. [source]	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Its pages do not say	Teal+ includes a LinkedIn profile analysis. [source]	LinkedIn Easy Apply postings are not added and not filled; signing in with a LinkedIn account is switched off today. [source]
Limits and caps	Auto Apply spends one credit a job; Premium users are topped up to 2 credits each month. [source]	Pro adds the full Score My Resume report, full LinkedIn analysis, AI-rewritten lines, unlimited targeted checks and reviews, and professional Word templates. [source]	Its pages do not say	Pro includes 300 resumes and cover letters, the ATS check, real-time content suggestions, no branding and unlimited section items. [source]	Its pages do not say	The free plan has a fixed number of AI generation credits that do not renew. [source]	A CAPTCHA or an emailed code stops the Agent's application and hands it to the person; Jobapplier does not solve CAPTCHAs or read email. [source] The Agent sends up to 30 applications a day on Pro. [source]
Browsers and extension	The Chrome extension (Jobscan, version 2.2.11, updated October 12, 2026) saves jobs from boards such as Indeed, LinkedIn and Glassdoor to the tracker and scans the resume against a listing; it does not mention autofill. [source]	Its pages do not say	A free Chrome extension saves jobs from other job boards to the Job Tracker. [source]	A Chrome extension helps apply from job sites; AI job search (Pro) shows a match score for live job ads. [source]	Its pages do not say	Its Chrome extension saves jobs from more than 40 job boards into the tracker. [source] The Chrome Web Store listing, by Teal Labs, Inc, describes saving and finding jobs, contacts, companies and resumes in one place; version 4.0.8, updated June 26, 2025. The listing does not mention autofill or pricing. [source]	Chrome only, and the extension is not in the Chrome Web Store yet. [source]
Resume tailoring	AI Optimize suggests skills and alternative bullet points for a job description; each suggestion is accepted or rejected by the user. [source] AI Optimize is part of Premium. [source]	Targeted Resume compares the resume with a pasted job description and shows matched and missing keywords. [source] AutoFix rewrites weak lines from the person's own experience, and the person approves each change. [source]	Its pages do not say	One-click tailoring suggests job-specific edits that the person accepts or rejects. [source]	The resume tailor rewrites bullet points, maps skills to keywords and scores the match in real time, explaining each change. [source] Its FAQ says the tailor cannot invent titles, numbers or skills. [source]	AI rewrites the summary and bullet points with the wording of the job description. [source] Auto-Select picks the work experience items most relevant to the job, which the user then turns on. [source]	One resume per posting at a level the person picks: Off (the default), Light, Balanced or Aggressive. No level adds or changes an employer, job title, seniority, date, place of work, school, degree, certification or work authorization. The file is a one-column PDF named Resume.pdf. [source] No .docx export: the resume is a PDF. [source]
ATS check and match score	Every scan returns a Match Report with a match rate out of 100 for the job and the gaps found. [source] The Match Report and the initial match rate are free. [source] Given the company name or job URL, Jobscan identifies the employer's ATS and gives guidance for it. [source]	Score My Resume gives a score out of 100 with line-by-line feedback; the first review is free and the resume can be re-uploaded free.

[source]	AI cover letters tailored to the job and the user's experience, editable; the free tier is said to cover a few letters, Pro is unlimited. [source]	A cover letter generator uses the resume and the job description. [source]	Cover letters are written for one posting from that posting's resume and the profile, in a professional, warm or direct tone; a sentence that claims more than they show is rewritten or cut. [source]
Job tracker	A free tracker for applications, saved listings and interviews, showing a match rate on each card. [source]	Its pages do not say	A Job Tracker board has the columns Recommended, Shortlist, Applied, Interview, Offer and Rejected, with notes and documents per job; premium lists it among its features.

Trial	A 7-day free trial comes with the quarterly plan. [source] Starting the trial places a temporary $1 authorization hold on the card, which is not a charge. [source] Cancelling during the trial costs nothing. [source]	Its pages do not say	The 7-day trial costs $2.95 and then renews automatically at $29.95 every 4 weeks.

[source] Quarterly and biannual plans are refunded pro rata by usage; monthly refunds depend on purchase date and usage.

Questions

What is the best free ATS resume checker?

For a free check against a job description, Jobscan's 5 scans a month. For free feedback on the resume itself, Resume Worded's first review with free re-uploads. Resume.io's basic grader is free with an e-mail address.

Are ATS resume checkers accurate?

Each checker scores by its own model, and none of the pages read shows how its score relates to what an employer's applicant tracking system or recruiter decides. Use a score to find gaps, not to predict an outcome.

What score should I aim for?

No checker here publishes a target that is tied to employers. Resume.io's page claims a 90% score doubles your chances, with no method given. Kickresume's paid checker counts 75% and up as good. The others do not publish a target on the pages read.

How was this list made?

From each checker's own pages, against the criteria above. No resume was scored for this page, and the page gives no scores of its own.
