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

Plan cards were served in CAD for our location while the comparison table showed $1.95 and $5.95/month without a currency label, so no USD monthly figure is asserted. Trial auto-renews every 4 weeks. No refund policy on the pricing page.
