Frequently Asked Questions
Why is CareerDiary free?
We believe job search tools shouldn't be a barrier to employment. Our core features—resume tailoring, ATS checking, and job tracking—are free for everyone, with a daily limit on tailoring. CareerDiary Pro, an optional paid plan, pays for the platform.
What's the catch?
Only a daily limit. Each tailoring run uses one credit: 5 a day with a free account and 2 as a guest, resetting at midnight UTC. The ATS checker has no limit, and job tracking is free. Pro features such as Interview Prep and Career GPS are optional.
Will you start charging later?
Core features will always be free. We're committed to keeping job search tools accessible. Any premium features we add will be optional enhancements, not paywalled essentials.
How do you make money then?
From CareerDiary Pro, $9 a month or $59 a year: 50 tailors a day, every saved resume, unlimited cover letters, and Pro tools such as Interview Prep, Career GPS and the ATS Simulator. You never have to upgrade to keep using the free plan.
