Comparing two resumes
Upload two versions of your resume and see what changed, line by line - useful when you have tailored one and cannot remember what you changed.
Resume Compare takes two versions of your resume, as files, and shows what changed between them. The comparison itself is free and makes no AI calls. It needs no account, and it is capped at one run a day signed out and four signed in.
Signed in, an optional AI tier on the same page costs 1 credit a run. It adds skill coverage, a total score for both versions and a written explanation of what the change did. Re-running an identical pair of files is free.
When it is worth it#
- After tailoring. You duplicated a resume, hid some bullets, rewrote others, and three applications later you cannot remember which version says what.
- Before sending. Confirming the version going out is the one you meant.
- Against an older resume. Seeing what a year actually changed, which is often less than it felt like and occasionally more.
What it shows#
Every line that was added, removed or reworded, and how each quality dimension moved between the two versions. Not a character diff: the useful unit is a bullet, not a comma. The free comparison shows no total score, because one dimension (skill coverage) needs the AI tier, and a total built from the rest would not be comparable to a real one.
The habit that removes most of the need#
Name your resumes for the job, not the version.
Keep what you sent#
Whatever version went to an employer is the one you will be interviewed against. Export it, keep the file, and do not edit that resume afterwards - duplicate it and edit the copy.
An interviewer reading a bullet you have since rewritten is a specific and avoidable kind of uncomfortable.
