Rocket Resume Review
An honest look at Rocket Resume's unpublished pricing, its narrow feature set, and what ResumeFox does differently.
What each one actually costs over twelve months
Rocket Resume doesn't publish prices on its site; the number only appears inside its build flow, after picking a template and reaching a contact-details form. This review stopped there rather than entering personal information into it, so the figures below come from Rocket Resume's own reply to a customer on Reviews.io and from what paying reviewers report being charged, not from a first-party checkout screenshot.
- No pricing page anywhere on its site; the price only appears inside the build flow
- Terms state the trial charge is refundable within 14 days, matching ResumeFox's guarantee
- Price published on a public pricing page, no contact details required to see it
- Full Access adds tailoring, tracking and job sourcing, not just the document
Rocket Resume's price could not be confirmed against its own checkout for this review, since reaching it means entering a name, address and phone number into its build flow. The figures above come from the company's own reply to a customer on Reviews.io and from reviewers reporting what they were actually charged. Have someone complete the real checkout before quoting an exact number anywhere final.
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
A single-purpose resume builder and template tool: guided prompts, pre-written bullet suggestions, and a template gallery. It doesn't publish a price anywhere on its site, and its navigation names no cover letter tool, ATS check, job search, interview prep, LinkedIn tool or application tracker.
- Simple, fast guided flow with pre-written "recruiter-approved" bullet suggestions for every section, about 10 minutes per its own site
- 14-day refund window on the introductory trial charge, per its Terms
- 4.9★ from 152 reviews on Reviews.io (a small sample, and it has no Trustpilot listing)
- Templates reviewed directly were single-column with no sidebar, photo or skills chart
- No pricing page; the price only appears after picking a template and reaching a contact-details form
- Best-sourced pricing (about $1.95–$2.95 for a 14-day trial, then $29.95–$34.95 every 4 weeks) is roughly a 15–18x step-up, well above ResumeFox's fixed 8x
- No cover letter tool, ATS check, job search, interview prep, LinkedIn tool or application tracker found anywhere on its site
- Better Business Bureau lists an F rating, not accredited, with 11 complaints closed in the last 3 years
Built by a resume-writing firm rather than a template shop, with the whole job search in one place: tailoring, tracking, job sourcing, interview prep and LinkedIn, not just a document.
- Standards drawn from 80,000+ hand-written resumes by 100+ CPRW-certified US writers and recruiters
- Price is published, fixed and the same for everyone: $2.95 for 14 days, then $23.95 every 4 weeks, or $95.40 a year
- Full Access includes tailoring, a cover letter, job sourcing, interview prep, LinkedIn and an application tracker
- Never scores fit or readiness as a number; named problems and bands only
- 10 templates, fewer than Rocket Resume's claimed library, deliberately
- No phone line; support is email with a next-business-day reply
- Word and PDF, job sourcing and the tracker are all paid-only
- Doesn't produce a resume in guided-prompt form the way Rocket Resume's quick flow does; the free rebuild works from an upload or a longer from-scratch flow

Is Rocket Resume legit?
It appears to be a real, operating business: Rocket Resume, Inc., based in Las Vegas, NV, with a working site, a named founder (Steve Zimmerman), and a working build flow. It has no Trustpilot listing (an unclaimed profile with zero reviews as of this check) but holds a 4.9★ rating from 152 reviews on Reviews.io. The Better Business Bureau lists it with an F rating, not accredited, and 11 complaints closed in the last 3 years.
How much does Rocket Resume cost?
It doesn't say, anywhere on its site. The price only appears inside its build flow, after you pick a template and reach a form asking for your contact details. The best available figures come from Rocket Resume's own reply to a customer on Reviews.io (a 14-day trial, then $34.95 every 4 weeks if not canceled) and from other reviewers reporting trial charges as low as $1.95 and renewal charges up to $45.00.
Is ResumeFox cheaper than Rocket Resume?
Almost certainly, based on the best available figures. ResumeFox's price is fixed and published: $2.95 for 14 days, then $23.95 every 4 weeks, or $95.40 once a year. Rocket Resume's reported figures run from about $1.95 to $2.95 for the trial and $29.95 to $34.95 every 4 weeks after — both above ResumeFox's $23.95, and neither published on Rocket Resume's own site the way ResumeFox's is.
Does Rocket Resume have a cover letter tool, ATS check, or job search feature?
None of the three were found anywhere on its public site or navigation as of this check. Its scope, based on its own homepage and About page, is a resume builder with templates and AI-suggested bullet points. ResumeFox includes a cover letter generator, a free ATS check, and live job search with fit checking in Full Access.
Does Rocket Resume have an application tracker or interview prep?
Neither was found on its site. ResumeFox's Application Tracker keeps one record per job, linking the tailored resume, cover letter, interview prep and offer notes, and its interview prep is built from live research on the specific company.
What happens if I don't like it?
Rocket Resume's Terms state the introductory trial charge is fully refundable within 14 days; after that, refunds are at the company's discretion. It also states a cancellation takes effect the month following the request, so a charge already posted for the current cycle isn't affected by cancelling that same day. ResumeFox carries a 14-day money-back guarantee with no discretion clause in its stated terms.
