Enhancv Review
An honest look at Enhancv's pricing and templates, and what ResumeFox does differently.
What each one actually costs over twelve months
Enhancv doesn't run the cheap-trial-then-every-4-weeks shape most of this category uses. Its free plan is a genuine 7-day trial of the whole product, not an ongoing free tier, and paid access runs monthly, quarterly or twice a year, with no single annual payment. ResumeFox is one plan at $79 a month after 7 free days, and that price buys the resume work plus a career professional you can write to, so a 12-month total is the comparison to make, and it is not the same thing being bought twice.
- Free plan includes every template and all design tools for its 7-day trial
- No annual plan, and free-plan downloads carry Enhancv branding
- A career coach of your own, a career professional in the US from TopStack.com, included in the price
- Tailoring, tracking, job sourcing and every download in the one plan, plus a 6 month job offer guarantee
Enhancv's pricing widget renders client-side and defaults to a promotional Quarterly plan with a crossed-out list price; read the live figures at checkout before entering a card. Its refund policy is discretionary, offered when Enhancv says something on their end broke, not a stated money-back window.
The full side-by-side comparison
Grouped by what actually matters: where the writing comes from, whether the file survives the software, whether the resume gets aimed at the job you want, and what it costs to keep using.
A half-filled circle means the feature exists but with a real limitation, described in the cell.
More templates is not the same as more good templates
A large share of the designs these builders promote use two columns, a headshot slot, or skills drawn as dots and bars. Those choices are the reason a resume arrives shredded: the sidebar gets read straight across into the middle of your job history, and a skills graphic says nothing once the picture is gone.
ResumeFox ships 10 templates plus a US federal layout. Not one has a sidebar, a photo or a chart. They differ in typography and emphasis, never in whether they parse.
- Whether a parser reads your name, email, phone and dates
- Whether anything is trapped in a table, column or image
- Named problems, not a grade out of 100
What each one is genuinely good and bad at
The most feature-dense free tier of the builders we’ve checked: a real cover letter generator, a resume tailor and an ATS checker all run free with no account. The subscription behind the rest of the product runs a genuinely different shape, monthly, quarterly or twice-yearly, with no annual option and a discretionary refund policy.
- Free AI cover letter generator and one-click resume tailor, no sign-up required
- A genuinely built-out AI Job Application Tracker with match-rate scoring
- Free 27-point ATS checker, no account needed to run it
- Hundreds of templates and real-time content suggestions
- Content is AI-generated suggestions, not writers working case by case, despite CPRW-reviewed section designs
- Many templates use a photo slot and skill or language levels drawn as dots or bars
- Free plan is a 7-day trial only, and its downloads carry Enhancv branding
- No annual plan; the cheapest rate still means two $99 charges a year
- ATS checker returns a numeric score rather than named fixes
- Refunds are discretionary, offered only if something breaks on their end
Built by a resume-writing firm rather than a template shop, and sold as one plan with a career coach included. The standards come from real work, not AI suggestions alone, and the plan covers the whole job search: a person to ask, tailoring, tracking and sourcing, not just the document.
- A career coach of your own, a career professional in the US from TopStack.com, with unlimited written messages and a $20 30-minute call whenever you want one
- Standards drawn from 80,000+ hand-written resumes by 100+ CPRW-certified US writers and recruiters
- Free ATS check, no account, 12 named problems rather than a score
- 6 month job offer guarantee: If you have paid for our service for 6 consecutive months, and you have not received a job offer, we'll continue to work with you for 6 additional months at no cost.
- $79 a month, several times what a builder subscription costs
- 10 templates, not hundreds, deliberately, but it is fewer
- No free-standing cover letter or tailoring tool without an account
- Coaching is written messages; a phone call is a $20 add-on rather than part of the price

Questions people ask before they pick one
Still stuck? Email a human: someone answers, usually within one business day.
Is Enhancv legit?
Yes. It's a real product operated by Enhancv R&D, registered in Sofia, Bulgaria, with 5,342 reviews on Reviews.io at 4.5 stars as of 2026-09-23. It also gives away more for free than most builders in this category: a cover letter generator, a resume tailor and an ATS checker all run with no account.
How much does Enhancv cost?
Its own pricing page shows a free 7-day plan, then Pro Monthly at $39.00/mo, Pro Quarterly at $23.00/mo ($69 billed every 3 months), or Pro Semiannual at $16.50/mo ($99 billed every 6 months). There is no single annual plan; the cheapest path is two $99 charges a year. Confirmed directly on enhancv.com on 2026-09-23.
Does Enhancv use real resume writers?
Enhancv states that its section designs are reviewed by Certified Professional Résumé Writers, but the content that fills your resume is AI-generated suggestions rather than a writer working on your specific file. ResumeFox is built by TopStack Resume, a US career-services firm, on standards from more than 80,000 resumes written by hand by over 100 CPRW-certified writers, recruiters and coaches.
Is ResumeFox cheaper than Enhancv?
No, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Enhancv runs $16.50 to $39 a month depending on the cadence, with no single annual payment: its cheapest path is two $99 charges a year ($198). ResumeFox is $79 a month after 7 free days, $948 for a year, and that buys the resume work plus a career coach in the US you can write to as often as you like, job sourcing, the tracker and the 6 month job offer guarantee.
What happens if I don't like it?
Enhancv's own FAQ states refunds are offered when something breaks on their end, with no stated window otherwise. ResumeFox charges nothing during its 7 free days, so cancelling inside them costs you nothing, and you can cancel anytime from your account. Confirm the exact current terms at checkout on either site before entering a card.
Does Enhancv’s ATS checker give a score?
Yes. Its free resume checker runs 27 checks across seven categories and returns a numeric ATS score. ResumeFox’s free ATS check runs 12 named checks and reports what to fix, deliberately without a score, because a number invites chasing the number rather than fixing the file.
Are Enhancv’s templates ATS-friendly?
Some of them carry real risk. Enhancv's own template gallery includes designs with a photo slot and a colored side panel showing skill or language levels as filled dots or bars rather than words, and its own ATS FAQ acknowledges the column layout. ResumeFox ships no template with a sidebar, a photo or a skills chart.
