Jobscan vs Teal vs Rezi vs JobJam: Which Is Right for You?

Jobscan is the best pure ATS scorer, Teal is the best application tracker, and Rezi is the best resume builder, but all three charge $30 to $50 a month. JobJam combines ATS scoring, per-job tailoring, AI cover letters, and a tracker in one tool, priced as one-time credits that never expire instead of a subscription. Its popular tier is €14.99 once.

The short version

If you're shopping for a job search tool right now, you've probably narrowed it down to a handful of names. They all promise roughly the same thing: better resumes, higher ATS scores, more interviews. But they're built on very different assumptions about how you should pay and what you actually need.

This guide compares the four most common options on the things that actually matter when you're three weeks into a job search and tired of typing your card number into a new subscription form.

What each one is built for

Jobscan is the original ATS scoring tool. You paste a resume and a job description, you get a match score, you get suggestions. It's been around the longest and it's the most narrowly focused. It does ATS scoring well and not much else.

Teal is a job tracker first. The resume builder and AI features were added later. The strength is the kanban board and the Chrome extension that pulls jobs from LinkedIn and Indeed into your tracker.

Rezi is a resume builder with AI writing. You build the resume inside their editor with their templates, and the AI helps you write bullet points. It's less about per-application tailoring and more about making one strong resume.

JobJam combines a built-in job board (fresh roles from Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, refreshed daily) with all three (ATS scoring, per-application tailoring, AI cover letters, and a tracker), and prices them as one-time credits instead of a monthly subscription.

Pricing

This is where the four tools diverge the most.

If your job search lasts three months (which is typical), the subscription tools cost you between $90 and $150. JobJam's most popular tier is €14.99 once, regardless of how long your search takes.

Features compared

The nuance is in the tailoring column. Jobscan suggests changes but you make them yourself, Teal's tailoring is light, and Rezi rewrites bullet points but mostly for a single master resume. JobJam rewrites the full resume for each JD at three levels (Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive) and shows you a new score against each version. Its cover letters are generated from your real experience plus the JD rather than from generic templates, and the free tier (3 evaluations, 3 optimizations, 3 cover letters, 30 AI assists) is enough to test the product on real applications without a credit card.

Which one to pick

If you only need ATS scoring and you're applying to a small number of roles, Jobscan's free tier is enough.

If your priority is tracking and you live in your Chrome extension, Teal is the most natural fit.

If you want a polished resume builder and you're rebuilding your resume from scratch, Rezi is good for that specific job.

If you're running a real job search (applying to many roles, tailoring per application, tracking what's working, generating cover letters) and you don't want to pay another subscription, JobJam is built for that case.

The honest take

The subscription tools are excellent if you'll use them heavily for one to two months and then cancel. Most people don't. They forget, the renewal hits, and they pay for months they're not using.

JobJam's pricing is a direct response to that pattern. Pay once, finish your search, never get charged again. If your search ends in three weeks, you didn't overpay. If it takes nine months, you didn't either.

That's the whole pitch. The product details (ATS scoring, per-JD tailoring, cover letters, tracker) are covered in the ATS score guide and the application tracker guide if you want to dig in.

JobJam uses a one-time credit model. No subscription, no auto-renewal. See pricing →
