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.
FreemiumNovorésumé has a free Basic plan intended mainly for students. It allows one resume version capped at one page, predefined layouts, 3 fonts, 30 color themes and no cover letter, and the editor lets you test most Premium features without downloading them. Some third-party reviews report that the free Basic window is now limited to seven days, so confirm the current terms on the site.
Premium is sold as a one-time payment with no automatic renewal. The official pricing page lists $23.99 for one month, $49.99 for a quarter and $199.99 for a year. A third-party review reported different figures ($21.99, $39.99 and $139.99), so prices appear to vary by date and region. Premium adds multiple versions, no branding, up to 10 pages, custom layouts, matching cover letters, 12 fonts and 74 color themes.
Payments are processed through Stripe, VAT or tax is confirmed at checkout, and a 14-day refund window applies. Your data stays in your account after Premium expires, but new Premium downloads need a new purchase.
