Resume Compare

Not for the comparison itself. Upload two versions and you get the full line-by-line diff and every dimension's movement without signing in - that path makes no AI calls at all, so there is nothing to charge for. There is a daily cap on it rather than unlimited use: one run a day without an account, four a day signed in, resetting at midnight UTC, and counted per tool so it does not touch your free ATS check or anything else. Signing in also adds the sixth quality dimension, a total score for both documents, and a written explanation of what the change did - that tier costs one credit a run, and re-running an identical pair of files is free because we recognise it and serve the result we already produced.

Because one of the dimensions - skill coverage - needs a layer the free tier does not run, and a total built from the rest would look exactly like a full Readiness Score without being comparable to one. Quietly re-weighting a partial rubric into a headline number is the kind of thing that seems helpful and then gets screenshotted next to a real score. You still get every dimension's movement, which is what answers the question you came with.

By word overlap. Two lines are treated as a rewording when they share enough distinctive words to be recognisably the same bullet, and as an unrelated removal plus addition when they do not. That threshold is fixed and applied identically every time, so the same two files always produce the same diff - which matters, because a comparison that shifted between runs would be useless for deciding anything.

Names, emails and phone numbers are removed before anything is stored. If you are not signed in, the files themselves are deleted within 24 hours; for a signed-in user they are kept for 30 days so you can re-run without re-uploading. Nothing on the free path is sent to an AI provider at all.

No, and that is deliberate rather than a limitation we plan to remove. Whether a tighter summary is worth a lost metric depends on the specific role, the specific screener and what else is on the page. The tool shows you exactly what moved and in which direction; the trade-off is a judgement about one application, and it is yours.

Two at a time. If you are tracking a resume across several drafts, compare consecutive pairs - that also tends to be more informative than comparing draft one against draft six, because it shows you which specific edit caused which movement rather than the sum of all of them.
