Resumap vs Teal
A polished career command center — but the AI that makes it worth using sits behind Teal+, and the headline price is billed weekly.
Verdict
Teal is one of the most established trackers in the category — free, uncapped job tracking, a strong Chrome extension for saving jobs from 50+ boards, and a full resume builder. It's a genuinely good free organizer, and this page isn't going to pretend otherwise.
What's easy to miss: the AI you'll actually reach for — unlimited generations, the full keyword-match list, advanced analysis — is gated behind Teal+, and Teal's most-prominent price is billed weekly (~$13/week), which annualizes to far more than the $29/month plan.
Resumap tracks applications free too. The difference is the AI isn't on a subscription: a tailored CV, cover letter, ATS score, interview-prep pack or follow-up email is pay-as-you-go credits that never expire— and each one attaches to the job's card automatically instead of living in a separate builder.
Teal pricing and features reflect what was public as of July 2026 (billing options change and Teal bills weekly by default) — check tealhq.com for current details.

Teal — what they do well
- Mature Chrome extension — one-click job saving from 50+ boards, one of the best in the category.

- Full resume builder with a large template set and a resume-to-job keyword match score.

Teal — where it bites users
- The AI you'll actually use (unlimited generations, full keyword list, advanced analysis) is behind Teal+.
- The prominent price is weekly (~$13/week), which reads cheaper than it is — closer to ~$56/month-equivalent than the $29 monthly plan.
- AI outputs aren't linked to the tracked job — the tailored resume and cover letter live in the builder, not on the application card.
- No CV-grounded interview prep or follow-up emails tied to each application.
When to pick Teal instead
Pick Teal if:you want the mature Chrome extension and resume builder, you track a high volume of jobs, and you'll subscribe to Teal+ — ideally on the monthly or quarterly plan rather than the weekly one, so the price matches the value.
Pick Resumap if: you want the AI without a subscription (pay per artifact, credits never expire), you want each tailored CV, cover letter and ATS score attached to the job automatically, and you want interview prep and follow-up emails grounded in your actual CV.
Track applications free — AI without a subscription.
Free board, unlimited applications. Pay only for the AI you use, and it attaches to each job on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Is Teal free?
Yes — Teal's job tracking is free and uncapped, and the resume builder is usable on the free plan. What's gated behind Teal+ is the heavier AI: unlimited generations, the full keyword-match list, and advanced analysis. Resumap's tracking is also free; the difference is that Resumap's AI is pay-as-you-go credits rather than a subscription.
How much does Teal+ actually cost?
Teal+ is offered at roughly $13/week, $29/month, or $79/quarter (as of July 2026 — check their site). The weekly option is the most prominent, and because a month is about 4.3 weeks, weekly billing annualizes to far more than the monthly plan — closer to ~$56/month-equivalent. If you subscribe, the monthly or quarterly plan is the cheaper cadence.
Does Teal auto-apply to jobs for me?
No. Teal is an organizer and resume builder — it does not auto-apply, and neither does Resumap. Both help you apply faster; you still submit each application yourself.
What does Resumap do that Teal doesn't?
Three things: the AI (tailored CV, cover letter, ATS score, interview prep, follow-up email) is pay-as-you-go with no subscription and credits that never expire; every artifact attaches to the tracked job automatically by matching the job description; and interview prep plus follow-up emails are grounded in your actual CV, not generic templates.
Can I bring my existing CV into Resumap?
Yes — you can import an existing PDF in a couple of minutes, then track jobs and generate artifacts against it. The tracking itself is free; only the AI actions use credits.
