All 4, side by side
| Tool | Score | Pricing | What you get free | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teal | 9 | Free tier | Teal+ from $9/week | web, chrome-extension |
| JJobscan | 8 | Free tier | Premium $49.95/mo | web |
| Kickresume | 8 | Free tier | no limits published | web |
 Rezi | 8 | Free tier | Pro $29/mo; Lifetime $149 | web |
A free tier counts, and so does an open-source licence you can self-host — both are in the table, so a tool that is only free for a trial is not here.
