Why job seekers pick FastApply over Zety

Know the price before you build

With Zety you can build for free and find the paywall at download, then a trial that renews every 4 weeks. FastApply's tailoring price is on the pricing page, billed monthly, every 90 days or yearly.

Tailored to the job, not the job title

FastApply reads the actual posting, uses its keywords in your summary, skills and bullets, and checks the result against your original resume.

One resume, any language

Instead of a separate site per country, pick a job and get your resume in its language: English, French, Spanish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish or Icelandic.

From resume to application

Zety's job ends at the file. FastApply's plan includes auto-apply, so the tailored resume can go straight into the application.
