Huntr Review

An honest look at Huntr's pricing, autofill and resume scoring, and what ResumeFox does differently.

Pricing

What each one actually costs over twelve months

Huntr's free tier is real, so the honest comparison starts there rather than at the paid plan. Huntr Pro then runs a different shape from ResumeFox entirely: no 14-day entry price, three prepay lengths (monthly, quarterly, biannual) instead of a monthly-or-annual choice, and no confirmed free trial.

Huntr's prices are read directly from its own pricing page, which itself contains a small inconsistency with its job-tracker FAQ page (noted above). It has no 14-day trial and no confirmed annual plan, so the yearly figures above are what a monthly or biannual plan costs left running for a year, not a discounted prepay the way ResumeFox's Annual is. Confirm the exact price and terms on the checkout screen before entering a card.

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.

(this site)
Built on real resume-writing experience
Where the writing standards come from
An AI trained on resume data isn't the same as someone who has actually done this.
No. AI-generated resume and cover-letter content inside an all-in-one job-search platform, not a staffed writing firm; no writers or writing credentials are named on its site
Yes. Standards drawn from 80,000+ resumes written by hand by 100+ CPRW-certified US writers and recruiters
Rewrites the resume you already have
Not importing it: rewriting it.
Partly. Import a resume or LinkedIn profile, then use AI to rewrite bullets and summaries; the free plan includes only a small number of AI generations before Pro ($40/month) is required for unlimited rewriting
Yes. Upload it and the AI rebuilds it section by section, against the same standards above
ATS readability check
What actually gets checked, not just a number.
No. Resume Checker returns a Base Resume Score and a separate Job Match Score; its own FAQ names "over 80" as a good score
Yes. 12 named problems checked against real parsing behavior, not a score out of 100
Templates that actually parse
Templates with sidebars, photos or skill graphics
The three things that break a parse.
Partly. Its own site describes the 7 templates as ranging from "simple · classic" to "creative · colorful" and "fun · colorful"; individual designs were not reviewed one by one for sidebars or graphics
Yes. None. No sidebar, no photo, no skills chart, anywhere
Number of templates
Partly. 7 templates
Yes. 10 designs plus a US federal layout
Targeting the job, not just building the resume
Tailoring to a specific job posting
One resume per application, without rebuilding it.
Yes. AI-Powered Job Tailored Resumes match keywords, responsibilities and qualifications from a saved job description; 2 free, then unlimited on Pro
Yes. Targeted version per posting; master resume stays untouched, every change reported
Cover letter for that same posting
Yes. AI Cover Letters generator drafts one from your resume and the saved job; 2 free Application Packets, then unlimited on Pro
Yes. Drafted from the posting and your targeted resume, with the reasoning behind it shown
Finding jobs to apply to
Matching, not a job board embed.
No. No built-in job search. The Chrome Job Clipper saves a posting you found elsewhere (LinkedIn, Indeed, an employer's page) into your tracker; it doesn't surface new postings itself
Yes. Live postings from the major boards, with a fit check against your master resume; a stretch role is labeled a reach
Application autofill
A real strength Huntr has that ResumeFox doesn't.
Yes. Free Chrome extension autofills application forms on "1000's of sites"; unlimited autofills on the free plan (only the 100-job tracker limit applies)
No. No application autofill or one-click apply; every application is submitted on the employer's own site
Interview preparation
Company-specific research, or a tips article.
Partly. Interview Question Generator returns job-tailored questions with AI-drafted STAR-format answers from your resume; text-based, no video, and no evidence of live research on the specific company
Yes. Prep built from live research on the company and role, plus a browser mock interview; video never leaves your machine
LinkedIn optimization
Importing a profile is not the same as rewriting one.
No. "LinkedIn Resume Builder" imports your LinkedIn profile into a resume; it does not rewrite or optimize the LinkedIn profile itself
Yes. Headline, About and experience rewritten from your master resume
Application tracker
One record per job, everything hanging off it.
Yes. Kanban board plus a contacts CRM, interview timeline, map view and job-search metrics; free plan tracks up to 100 jobs
Yes. An application tracker with one record per job, linking the targeted resume, cover letter, prep and offer notes
Billing and support
What it renews at
The number nobody puts in headline size.
No. $40/month, or $90 every 3 months (~$30/month), or $160 every 6 months (~$27/month); no annual plan, no confirmed free trial of Pro
Partly. $23.95 every 4 weeks, or $95.40 once a year
Refunds
Partly. Considered case by case: 2 completed billing periods required, request within 3 days of the latest charge, never after 14 days from the last invoice, capped at 2 invoices ever
Yes. 14-day money-back guarantee
Support
Partly. Email and a listed phone line; Trustpilot reviews are mixed, from "Customer Service isn't available to support you in real time" (Jul 2025) to "nice to speak to a human for support" (Sep 2025)
Partly. Email; a person replies, usually within one business day

Templates & ATS

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.

Deep dive

What each one is genuinely good and bad at

Huntr
4.5★ / 21
Huntr LLC · founder Rennie Haylock, Seattle, WA

A job-search workspace built around tracking and autofill first, with resume tailoring and scoring layered on top. Application autofill and the Kanban tracker are genuinely strong; interview prep is a text Q&A generator, and there is no LinkedIn optimization tool or built-in job search.

Strengths
  • Free one-click application autofill on "1000's of sites," with no cap on the number of applications
  • Kanban tracker adds a contacts CRM, interview timeline and map view most trackers don't have
  • Job-tailored resumes and cover letters on the free plan (2 of each) before any payment
  • Cheaper long-term plans (quarterly, biannual) if paid upfront, down to about $27/month
Watch out for
  • Resume Checker and Job Match Score are both numeric scores, not a named fix list
  • No built-in job search; postings have to be found elsewhere and clipped in
  • No LinkedIn profile optimization, and no live company research for interview prep
  • Refunds are considered case by case, capped at 2 ever, and closed off after 14 days
ResumeFox
4.8★ / 2.5k+
TopStack Resume · US writers, founded 2018

Built by a resume-writing firm rather than a tracking-and-autofill platform. The standards come from real work, not an algorithm, and every finding is a named problem or a band, never a score to chase.

Strengths
  • Standards drawn from 80,000+ hand-written resumes by 100+ CPRW-certified US writers and recruiters
  • Never scores fit or readiness as a number; named problems and bands only
  • Interview prep is built from live research on the specific company, and mock-interview video never leaves your browser
  • Live job search across the major boards, not just a clipper for postings you already found
Watch out for
  • No application autofill; you still fill out each employer's form yourself
  • 10 templates plus one federal layout against Huntr's 7, but neither has huge choice
  • No free tier for tailoring, tracking or job sourcing the way Huntr's tracker and autofill are free
  • No phone line; support is email with a next-business-day reply

FAQ

Questions people ask before they pick one

Still stuck? Email a human: someone answers, usually within one business day.

Is Huntr legit?

Yes. It's operated by Huntr LLC, based in Seattle, and widely reported (Crunchbase, and independently corroborated by a named Huntr employee's LinkedIn post) as founded by Rennie Haylock; Huntr's own site does not name a founder. Independently, it holds a 4.5★ rating on Trustpilot from 21 reviews, a small sample Trustpilot itself flags as not recently solicited.

How much does Huntr cost?

Huntr's free plan includes a resume builder, 2 job-tailored resumes, 2 cover letters, a job tracker for up to 100 jobs, and free application autofill. Huntr Pro removes those caps for $40/month, $90 every 3 months (about $30/month), or $160 every 6 months (about $27/month); there's no annual plan and no free trial of Pro.

Is ResumeFox cheaper than Huntr?

ResumeFox's Annual price, $95.40, costs less than a third of Huntr's cheapest confirmed plan left running for a year (biannual, $160 every 6 months, about $320/year). Huntr's free plan is more generous in one respect ResumeFox's isn't: free application autofill and a free 100-job tracker, where ResumeFox keeps Word, PDF, job sourcing and the tracker behind Full Access.

Does Huntr autofill job applications for me?

Yes, for free. Its Chrome extension autofills applications on "1000's of sites" and saves the details to your tracker automatically. ResumeFox has no autofill; you submit each application on the employer's own site.

Does Huntr give a resume score?

Yes, two: a Base Resume Score for general best practices, and a Job Match Score against a specific posting, both presented as numbers (Huntr's own FAQ calls "over 80" a good score). ResumeFox never scores either: named problems on the readability half, bands only on the fit-to-a-posting half.

Does Huntr help me find jobs, or just track them?

Mostly track them. Huntr's Chrome Job Clipper saves a posting from wherever you found it (LinkedIn, Indeed, a careers page) into your tracker; it doesn't search job boards for you. ResumeFox's Job Sourcing actively searches live postings from the major boards and ranks them against your resume.

What happens if I don't like it?

Huntr considers refunds case by case: you need two completed billing periods, a request within 3 days of the latest charge, and it caps refunds at 2 invoices ever, never after 14 days from the last invoice. ResumeFox carries a 14-day money-back guarantee.
