A free Jobscan alternative
Jobscan is a resume scanner: paste a job description and it gives your resume a match rate with the keywords and skills to add. Free accounts get a limited number of scans each month, and unlimited scans need a paid plan. SealApply runs the same kind of keyword check free, then rewrites the resume for you to approve.

When Jobscan is the better fit
Jobscan's match report is detailed and it has been around a long time. If you want a scored report and LinkedIn profile suggestions and don't mind paying for volume, it does that well.
When SealApply is the better fit
- You scan for many jobs and don't want a monthly scan limit.
- You want the missing keywords worked into the resume for you, with every change shown before it's applied.
- You want the cover letter and the application form done in the same place.
- You'd rather not create another account.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free alternative to Jobscan?
SealApply is free. It checks your resume's keywords against a job description, tailors the resume, writes a cover letter and autofills the application, with no subscription or account.
Is a match rate the same as passing the ATS?
No. A match rate measures keyword overlap with the posting. Most ATS software doesn't reject resumes by score; recruiters search and filter the applicants, so the right keywords help you show up in those searches.
