WowThisCV vs Teal
The verdict
Teal is a job tracker with a resume builder attached. Its free tier is genuinely generous for organizing a search: unlimited resumes, unlimited application tracking, and a Chrome extension that saves jobs from across the web. The resume optimization, the match score and the AI writing, sits behind Teal+, which is sold by the week, month or quarter with no annual option.
WowThisCV does one thing. You bring the CV you already have, it checks the ATS score and the AI enhances the content, and the full fix is $19 one time. There is no tracker to set up and no subscription.
Pick Teal if you want one dashboard to run and organize a whole search. Pick WowThisCV if you have a CV to fix and want it done once, cheaply, without a recurring bill.
Best for
- Teal is best for: people running a high-volume search who want tracking, a Chrome extension and resume tailoring in one place, and are happy to subscribe for a focused month or quarter.
- WowThisCV is best for: someone who already has a CV, wants it fixed fast for a one-time price, and does not need a job tracker or a subscription.

Where Teal wins
Teal is the better tool for running a search, not just fixing a document. Its job tracker is one of the best in the category, the Chrome extension pulls listings from dozens of boards into one board, and the free tier lets you organize an entire search without paying. If you are juggling many applications and want resumes, tracking and tailoring in one place, Teal is built for that.
Where WowThisCV wins
Teal's actual resume optimization, the match score and the AI writing, is paid, and it is sold as a subscription. If all you need is to fix the CV you have, you are setting up a whole workflow to reach one feature. WowThisCV goes straight at that feature: upload the CV, get the score and the enhancement, pay $19 once. There is no weekly-billing trap and nothing to remember to cancel. A common pattern is to use Teal free for tracking and a separate tool to fix the resume itself, and WowThisCV is built to be that second tool.
One honest note: an ATS score is a guide, not a guarantee. Neither tool can promise an interview.
When to pick which
