The short version

Parakeet AI is a subscription. Their site says it builds a resume with you, interview assistant. It does not applies for you or no subscription. Their site does not say whether it checks eligibility (location, visa), resume tailored per job, cover letters, employer replies in one inbox and more.

Break-In Bad covers the whole search in one plan: it checks eligibility before anything else, prepares your resume with Omar, writes a tailored resume and cover letter per job, applies on employer sites with a screenshot as proof, brings replies into one inbox with interview alerts, and goes into the interview with you as an invisible on-screen assistant. One credit per submitted application, refunded if it fails on our side, no subscription, and credits never expire.

cheapestPaidPerMonth is the yearly Unlimited plan, the cheapest option that includes the live copilot; the $22.90 Custom tools exclude calls. One-time credit packs also exist alongside subscriptions. Refund policy linked but terms not shown.
