The short version

Sonara is a subscription. Their site says it applies for you. Their site does not say whether it checks eligibility (location, visa), resume tailored per job, cover letters, builds a resume with you 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.

Review sites report a $2.95 trial that renews at $23.95 every four weeks, not confirmed on Sonara's own site. Its site shows no prices before sign-up. It says it continuously finds and applies to openings, and lists hourly and trade jobs as well as office roles.
