Pricing
FreemiumZety's Basic plan is free and lets you build a resume and cover letter, but downloads are limited to plain TXT format. The official pricing page lists no numeric limits for the free plan beyond that export restriction.
The Pro plan starts with a 14-day trial for $1.95, then auto-renews at $25.95 billed every 4 weeks (about 13 charges a year) unless you cancel. The Annual plan is listed at $5.95 per month, or $71.40 paid upfront, and renews yearly. Both paid plans unlock PDF, Word and TXT downloads, unlimited edits and prints, the resume check and the cover letter builder. A third-party review quoted a $1.70 trial, so check the amount at checkout.
Several reviewers and user reports mention difficulty cancelling, so read the renewal terms carefully and set a reminder before the trial ends.
FreemiumCaktus AI offers a free tier with limited access. To unlock unlimited access to all 25+ AI tools, longer outputs, and premium features like real academic citations and document uploads, a subscription is required. Flexible subscription plans are available.
