Pricing
FreemiumKickresume is freemium. The Free plan is $0 and includes 4 basic resume templates, 4 matching cover letter templates, 1 basic website template, 20,000 pre-written phrases, 1,500+ resume examples and unlimited downloads, with limited design options and 2 fonts.
Premium is billed three ways: $24 per month with no commitment, $18 per month billed $54 every 3 months, or $8 per month billed $96 every 12 months (about 25% off the quarterly rate in the site's label). Premium adds 40+ resume and cover letter templates, all colours and 26 typefaces, the AI Writer, the ATS Resume Checker, Career Map, LinkedIn and PDF import, mobile apps, 7 personal website templates and priority support.
All paid plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee. Students who can prove status with ISIC, ITIC or UNiDAYS can get Premium free, and a human grammar proofreading service costs $30 per resume. Prices reported by third parties vary, so confirm on the pricing page.
FreemiumResume.io has a limited free plan that reportedly includes one resume and one cover letter with restricted export options. Premium access starts with a 7-day trial, reported at $2.95 in the US, that converts into a recurring membership unless you cancel before it ends.
Third-party reviews report the recurring membership renewing every four weeks at roughly $24.95 to $29.95, while prepaid longer plans are reported at about $44.95 for 6 months and $74.95 for 12 months (around $6.25/mo). Another review lists different figures, so amounts clearly vary by country, currency and date. The official pricing page confirms a 7-day refund window, plan switching and cancellation through the app, but did not show prices when reviewed.
Because the trial auto-renews and some reviewers report billing disputes, confirm the exact amount and cancellation steps at checkout before subscribing.
