WowThisCV vs Jobscan
The verdict
Jobscan is the category veteran. It scores your resume against a specific job description, gives you a match rate and the missing keywords, and wraps a broad toolkit around that: AI optimization, a resume builder, a job tracker, cover letters and a LinkedIn optimizer. It is thorough, and at $49.95 a month it is also the most expensive tool in its lane.
WowThisCV is narrower on purpose. You upload the CV you have, it checks the ATS score, and the AI rewrites and enhances the content. The full fix is $19 one time, no subscription.
Pick Jobscan if you are a power user running many applications a month and you want deep keyword analysis and the wider toolkit. Pick WowThisCV if you want the CV actually fixed, once, without a monthly bill.
Best for
- Jobscan is best for: high-volume applicants, people who want to see the exact keyword gaps, and anyone who values Jobscan's LinkedIn optimizer and ATS-platform detection.
- WowThisCV is best for: someone with a CV that is not landing interviews who wants it rewritten and improved fast, for a one-time price, and does not want another subscription.

Where Jobscan wins
Jobscan has more surface area. Its keyword analysis is detailed, it can flag which ATS a company likely uses, and its LinkedIn optimizer is a real differentiator that most resume tools skip entirely. If you are applying to dozens of roles and want to scan and re-scan each one, unlimited scans on the paid plan are built for exactly that. The wider toolkit, cover letters and a job tracker included, makes it a reasonable command center for a long search.
Where WowThisCV wins
Jobscan is a broad suite you rent by the month. If all you need is to fix the CV you have, most of that suite is surplus, and the price is not. A two-month Jobscan search runs about $100. WowThisCV fixes your CV for $19 once. If you have one CV to get right and you do not want a subscription running in the background, WowThisCV is the lighter, cheaper path to a fixed document.
One honest caveat on both sides: an ATS score is a guide, not a guarantee. Neither tool can promise an interview, and chasing a perfect score by stuffing keywords can backfire with the humans who eventually read the CV.
When to pick which
- Applying to many roles a week, want deep per-job keyword analysis, and value LinkedIn and tracking tools: Jobscan.
- Have a CV that needs fixing, want the rewrite done for you, and do not want a monthly bill: WowThisCV.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Jobscan cost?
Jobscan is $49.95 a month, or $89.95 a quarter (about $29.98 a month). The free tier gives you 5 scans a month. Confirm the current price on jobscan.co before buying.
How much does WowThisCV cost?

What is the main difference between WowThisCV and Jobscan?
Jobscan is a broad, subscription suite: scanning, AI optimization, a resume builder, a job tracker, cover letters and LinkedIn tools, from $29.98 a month on the quarterly plan. WowThisCV is a focused one-time fix for the CV you already have, $19, no subscription. Pick by whether you want the whole toolkit or just the fix.
Is Jobscan's match rate the same as passing an ATS?
No. The match rate measures keyword overlap with the job description. Real applicant tracking systems parse and store your CV and let recruiters filter it. A high match rate helps you tailor, but it is not an ATS pass or an interview.
Which is better value for a short job search?
For a short search, WowThisCV's $19 one-time fix avoids a subscription you would cancel in a few weeks. Jobscan earns its price mainly for high-volume users who will run many scans across a sustained search.
