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
All three run close to the same numbers, and ResumeFox is not an exception to that: it runs the identical $2.95-for-14-days-then-$23.95-every-4-weeks shape MyPerfectResume does. The honest comparison is plan-type to plan-type: what a 4-weekly subscription costs left running for a year, and what the annual option costs instead.

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

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. All three cost about the same on a 4-weekly plan, and Resume Now's annual plan is the cheapest of the three at $70.20/year against ResumeFox's $95.40. What differs is what is behind the price: ResumeFox is built by a US resume-writing firm on standards from real work, and Full Access adds per-posting tailoring, a matching cover letter, job sourcing, interview prep, LinkedIn and a tracker, not just the document.
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 and ResumeFox both give a free plain-text export, and PDF or Word requires a paid plan on all three.
Why does everyone 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 runs the same 4-weekly cadence, and offers the same kind of annual alternative the others do.
What happens if I don't like it?
ResumeFox carries a 14-day money-back guarantee. Refunds at both Bold brands are handled case by case.
