Resume Now vs. MyPerfectResume
Resume Now and MyPerfectResume are the same company. Here is how they compare, plus a third option built differently.
You are comparing two brands with one owner
Resume Now and MyPerfectResume are both operated by Bold LLC of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, the same company behind LiveCareer and Cover Letter Now. The builders look different and the template libraries differ. The pricing model and the four-week renewal cadence do not.
So the useful question is not which of the two is cheaper. It is whether the model works for you at all, and what a resume built by people who have actually done this looks like instead.
What each one actually costs over twelve months
The two Bold brands run close to the same numbers as each other. ResumeFox is a different kind of plan since October 2026: 7 days free, then $79 a month, with a career coach included rather than software alone. Cheaper per month is not the same product, so the comparison worth making is what a year of each one costs and what you get for it.
- No free download of any kind
- Price appears only at download
- Free plain-text export
- PDF and Word are paid only
- A career coach of your own, a US professional from TopStack.com
- Standards from 80,000+ resumes written by real US career writers
- 6 month job offer guarantee
Entry prices vary by promotion and by the page you land on — Resume Now's 14-day trial was observed at three different prices across two visits to its own pricing page in the same session. Confirm the exact price and renewal 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.
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
A headshot photo sits above the contact block, and the name and title run inside a decorative shaped header rather than plain text. A parser reads a photo as nothing at all.

A shaded sidebar carries contact info, education and skills, with each skill shown as a row of dots instead of a word. A parser reading top to bottom reads that whole column into the middle of the work history, and a dot rating carries no text a keyword search can match.

Single column, top to bottom, every section a plain heading a parser recognizes. Nothing here for it to misread.

The fastest of the three to a first draft, and the cheapest of the three on its annual plan. Very few decisions, a big phrase library, and an interface that does not slow you down, as long as you accept the resume it wants to write.
- Quickest path from blank page to a complete draft
- Cheapest annual price of the three: $70.20/year
- Large template library with plenty of conventional options
- Phone and chat support
- Nothing downloadable on the free plan at all
- Pricing surfaces only when you try to download
- Trial price is inconsistent: observed between $1.45 and $2.95
The more polished of the two siblings, and the one to pick if template choice matters to you. Strong guided writing, real phone support, and the same billing mechanic underneath.
- 40+ templates with the most customization of the three
- Live phone support seven days a week
- Free plain-text export
- Guided step-by-step writing flow is genuinely well built
- Many flagship templates use two columns, photos or skill graphics
- PDF and Word locked behind a paid plan
- $2.95 converts to $23.95 every four weeks
- ATS scan gives you a score, not a fix list
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 a phrase library, 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
- Built around targeting: per-posting tailoring, a matching cover letter, job sourcing, interview prep, LinkedIn and an application tracker
- 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 either Bold subscription costs
- 10 templates, not 40, deliberately, but it is fewer
- Coaching is written messages; a phone call is a $20 add-on rather than part of the price
- One plan only, so there is no cheaper tier to step down to

Are Resume Now and MyPerfectResume really the same company?
Yes. Both are operated by Bold LLC of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, which also runs LiveCareer and Cover Letter Now. The interfaces and template libraries genuinely differ. Billing cadence and renewal behavior are close to identical.
Is Resume Now or MyPerfectResume cheaper?
Close enough not to matter on the 4-weekly plan: both land around $312–$314 over a year if left running. On the annual plan, Resume Now is cheaper: $70.20/year against MyPerfectResume's roughly $95.40. Resume Now's trial entry price also moves around, observed between $1.45 and $2.95 depending on the page and promotion.
Do any of them use real resume writers?
ResumeFox is built by TopStack Resume, a US career-services firm, and the standards its AI follows came out of more than 80,000 resumes written by hand by over 100 CPRW-certified writers, recruiters and coaches. Bold’s brands use in-house content libraries; individual writers are not credited.
Is a good resume enough to get hired?
Not by itself. A resume that isn't tailored to the posting is one of the most common reasons a strong candidate gets passed over. ResumeFox pairs the resume with per-posting tailoring, a cover letter written for that same posting, job sourcing that checks live postings against your resume, interview prep and an application tracker, so the resume is the start of the process, not the whole thing. Neither Resume Now nor MyPerfectResume tailors a resume to a specific posting or tracks what happens after you apply.
Is ResumeFox cheaper than Resume Now or MyPerfectResume?
No, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Both Bold brands run a few dollars a week; ResumeFox is $79 a month after 7 free days, which is $948 over a year. What that buys is a career coach in the US you can write to as often as you like, the resume rebuilt to standards from real professional writing, per-posting tailoring, a matching cover letter, job sourcing, interview prep, LinkedIn, a tracker, and the 6 month job offer guarantee.
Which one is best for getting past an applicant tracking system?
Template choice matters more than any score. Two columns get read straight across, photos yield no text, and skills drawn as dots say nothing once the graphic is gone. Both Bold brands offer designs that do all three; ResumeFox offers none that do any of them. On feedback, ResumeFox names twelve concrete problems in your file rather than giving you a number out of a hundred.
Can I download a resume for free from any of them?
Not as a formatted document anywhere. Resume Now offers no free download at all. MyPerfectResume gives a free plain-text export. ResumeFox includes Word, PDF and plain text in its plan, and its 7 free days include every download, so you can take the file away before the first charge.
Why do the Bold brands bill every four weeks instead of monthly?
A 28-day cycle produces thirteen charges in a 365-day year rather than twelve. At roughly $24 that is close to an extra month a year beyond what a true monthly plan would charge, disclosed in the terms and almost never in headline size. ResumeFox bills once a calendar month, so a year is twelve charges of $79.
What happens if I don't like it?
Nothing is charged during the ResumeFox free trial, so cancelling inside it costs nothing, and you can cancel anytime from your account. There is also a 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. Refunds at both Bold brands are handled case by case.
