Resume Now Review
An honest look at Resume Now’s pricing and templates, and what ResumeFox does differently.
What each one actually costs over twelve months
Both run close to the same numbers on the recurring plan, and ResumeFox is not an exception to that: it runs the identical $2.95-for-14-days-then-$23.95-every-4-weeks shape. 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.
- Free plain-text export, unlimited resumes and cover letters
- Trial price shown at checkout has moved between $1.45 and $2.95 across visits
- Standards from 80,000+ resumes written by real US career writers
- Full Access adds tailoring, tracking and job sourcing, not just the document
Resume Now’s 14-day trial price has been observed anywhere from $1.45 to $2.95 across sessions and visits; 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
What each one is genuinely good and bad at
The largest template library of the two by a wide margin, and the cheaper of the two on an annual plan. A big phrase library and AI suggestions rather than writer-built standards.
- Large template library: 675 listed
- Cheaper annual price: $70.20/year against ResumeFox’s $95.40
- Free plain-text export with unlimited resumes and cover letters
- Phone and chat support with hours across the week and weekend
- Trial price shown at checkout has moved between $1.45 and $2.95 across visits
- Its 'Creative' category includes photo and decorative-header designs
- ATS check returns a numeric score rather than a named fix list
- No job-search matching, LinkedIn help, or application tracker
Built by a resume-writing firm rather than a template shop. The standards come from real work, not a phrase library, and Full Access covers the whole job search, tailoring, tracking and sourcing, not just the document.
- 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
- Every template parses: no sidebars, photos or charts, plus a federal layout
- 14-day money-back guarantee
- 10 templates, not hundreds, deliberately, but it is fewer
- No phone line; support is email with a next-business-day reply
- Not the cheapest annual price: Resume Now runs about $25/year less
- PDF and Word still need a paid plan

Questions people ask before they pick one
Still stuck? Email a human: someone answers, usually within one business day.
Is Resume Now legit?
Yes. It has been operating since 2005 under Bold LLC of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, and states an 'Excellent' Trustpilot rating from over 13,000 reviews on its own reviews page. That does not mean every feature is what a first look suggests: its free plan cannot download a formatted resume, and the price shown for the trial has moved around across our visits.
How much does Resume Now cost?
The 14-day trial has been observed at $1.45 to $2.95 depending on the visit; two checks in the same session both showed $2.45. After the trial it renews at $23.95 every 4 weeks unless you cancel, or you can prepay $70.20 for a year through its Annual Access plan.
Is Resume Now worth it?
For unlimited plain-text resumes and a large template library at a competitive annual price, yes, it does what it advertises. What it does not do is tailor a resume to a specific job posting, track applications beyond noting when an employer viewed your resume, or help with LinkedIn, interview prep or a job search that checks postings against your resume.
Does Resume Now use real resume writers?
Resume Now employs Certified Professional Resume Writers (CPRW) who are credited on its team page, primarily for its advice articles and editorial content. The resume builder itself runs on AI-generated suggestions from a phrase library, described on its own site as 'refined by' those career experts, rather than resumes written by hand for individual clients.
Is ResumeFox cheaper than Resume Now?
No. On the recurring 4-weekly plan the two run within a few dollars of each other over a year. On the annual plan Resume Now is cheaper: $70.20/year against ResumeFox’s $95.40. What ResumeFox adds for that difference is a resume built on standards from a US resume-writing firm’s real work, plus per-posting tailoring, a matching cover letter, job sourcing, interview prep, LinkedIn optimization and an application tracker.
Can I download a resume for free from Resume Now?
Yes, as plain text (TXT). Unlimited resumes can be built and downloaded that way at no cost. PDF and Word downloads, along with premium templates, require a paid plan, the same as ResumeFox.
What happens if I don’t like it?
ResumeFox carries a 14-day money-back guarantee. Resume Now’s own pricing page also states a money-back guarantee tied to its 14-day trial. Read the exact terms on the checkout page before paying, since the conditions can change.
