Jobscan vs Teal vs Rezi vs JobJam — Which Is Right for You?
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 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.
Jobscan: subscription, around $50/month for full features. Free tier limited to a few scans.
Teal: subscription, around $30/month for unlimited AI features. Free tier with limits.
Rezi: subscription, around $30/month or $150/year. Free tier limited to one resume.
JobJam: one-time payment. €7.99 / €14.99 / €34.99 tiers. Credits never expire. No subscription, no auto-renewal.
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
ATS scoring: All four offer it. Quality is comparable on the top three. JobJam's scoring is calibrated against the same parsing patterns major ATS platforms use.
Resume tailoring per job: Jobscan suggests changes but you make them yourself. Rezi rewrites bullet points but mostly for one master resume. Teal's tailoring is light. JobJam rewrites the full resume for each JD at three levels (Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive) and shows you the new score against each version.
AI cover letters: Teal and Rezi offer them. JobJam generates them from your real experience plus the JD, not from generic templates.
Application tracker: Teal's strength. JobJam includes one. Jobscan and Rezi don't.
Chrome extension: Teal has the most polished one. The others don't have one currently.
Free tier: Jobscan and Teal have meaningful free tiers. Rezi's is limited. JobJam's free tier includes 3 evaluations, 3 optimizations, 3 cover letters, and 30 AI Assists. Enough to evaluate 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 →
