Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Cancel anytime in Settings → Plan → Manage billing, and Pro stays on until the period ends. We email you before every charge.

Pro is $29.99 month to month, $74.99 every 3 months, or $239.99 a year, which is about $20 a month, plus a one-time $14.99 Week Pass that never auto-renews. The monthly price is a launch price until Dec 31, then $39.99 for new subscribers; subscribe before then and your price stays the same for as long as you stay subscribed. The free tier is permanent and needs no credit card: unlimited autofill, matching, and tracking, plus two fully tailored resumes every day.

No countdown timers, no resetting discounts, no "offer expires tonight". The launch price ends on one published date, Dec 31, not on a timer.

What is free, forever

No credit card, and nothing on file to cancel.

  • Unlimited autofill on supported application forms, including multi-page Workday flows. The extension fills the form and stops at review. You press Submit.
  • Unlimited job matching against fresh postings.
  • Unlimited job tracking. Every role you are chasing and exactly what you sent.
  • Saved answers, reused when the same application question comes back.
  • Shifu, the guide: searches from a sentence, line edits and the story behind a gap.
  • 2 tailored resumes every day on us, plus 5 AI application answers a week and 3 cover letters a month.
  • First interview prep each month: likely questions plus practice answers drawn from your real stories.

If that covers your search, it covers your search. The free tier does not expire: the resume allowance resets daily, AI application answers weekly, and cover letters and interview prep monthly, and everything else on the list is simply unlimited.

What unlimited means

"Unlimited" carries its ordinary meaning here: a person tailoring applications one at a time will not hit a cap, and there is no per-use charge waiting behind the word. What does exist is an abuse safeguard, set far above human application volume, so that scripted use cannot ruin the economics for everyone else. We can publish our unit cost below precisely because that line exists. Shifu is the one exception to the word: each plan includes a monthly Shifu allowance, and the app shows what is left.

We crawl the career sites of more than 14,000 employers directly, including the first-party career sites at Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, across roughly a million open postings that we check for closure. The goal is not to index everything. It is to cover the companies you are actually targeting, and to show when each posting was first seen.

What Pro looks like

Examples.

  • "Only remote, past week, rank SQL higher." One card. Apply it and your search reruns.
  • "Apply to Acme." Shifu fills the application and shows you every answer. You press Submit.
  • "Which saved jobs still need tailoring?" Shifu reads your tracker and opens Tailor on the best fit.

Shifu, on every plan

Ask in plain words. Every change is a card you approve, and it stops before Submit.

Why the paid line sits where it does

Prices are in US dollars. These are launch prices. After Dec 31 the monthly plan is $39.99 for new subscribers, and the other plans may go up for new subscribers as the product grows; anyone already subscribed keeps their price, and the free tier is not part of that, free stays free.

We drew the free-versus-paid line on cost, not on leverage.

Autofill, matching, and tracking are mechanical. Once they are built, one more use of them costs us essentially nothing, so charging per use would be a toll booth rather than a price. They are free, permanently, and they are the parts you will use most days.

Tailoring, cover letters, screener answers, and interview prep each send real work to a language model, and that has a real bill attached every single time. By our own measurement, a fully tailored application costs about 34 cents of model usage. Two of those a day are on us. Past that, Pro is what makes unlimited possible without us quietly degrading the output to protect a margin.

Work that costs us nothing per use is free. Work with a real per-use cost is what you pay for.

Whether that trade is worth it for you depends on how much you are applying, and for many people, the free tier is enough. We worked it through by situation in is JobShifu worth it, alongside what the rest of the category charges.

Billing, plainly

  • Monthly means billed monthly. Quarterly means billed every 3 months, yearly means billed once a year. The cadence in the plan name is the cadence on your statement.
  • Cancel any time from Settings, through the billing portal. No email, no retention call, no form.
  • Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you already paid for. You keep Pro until then.
  • Your vault and your documents stay accessible on the free tier after a subscription ends. Nothing is held hostage.
  • The Week Pass never auto-renews.
  • Refunds are the one place we ask you to read before you buy: per the terms, payments are non-refundable except where the law requires. That is exactly why the free tier and the one-time Week Pass exist, so you can find out whether JobShifu is for you before a year of it is on your card.
  • No countdown timers, no resetting discounts, no "offer expires tonight". The launch price ends on one published date, Dec 31, and anyone subscribed by then keeps it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does JobShifu cost?

Pro is $29.99 a month, $74.99 every 3 months, or $239.99 a year, which is about $20 a month. The monthly price is a launch price until Dec 31, then $39.99 for new subscribers. There is also a one-time Week Pass at $14.99 for 7 days of Pro. The free tier costs nothing and needs no credit card.

Is JobShifu free?

Yes, permanently, for a real slice of the product. The free tier includes unlimited autofill including Workday, unlimited job matching and tracking, saved screener answers, 2 fully tailored resumes every day, 5 AI screener answers every week, 3 cover letters a month, and your first interview prep each month. No card required.

Is there a free trial?

The free tier does not end and needs no credit card, and 2 fully tailored resumes every day let you see the tailoring, the citations, and the calibration report before paying anything.

There is one trial, for Shifu's full assistant: 7 days, once per account, or until its allowance is used, whichever comes first. It starts only when you click Start, needs no card and ends on its own, so there is nothing to cancel.

Separately, and not free, the $14.99 Week Pass gives you 7 days of full Pro for one heavy week, and never auto-renews.

Does Shifu cost extra?

No. Shifu is in every account. On the free plan it searches from a sentence, rewrites a line and helps you tell the story behind a gap. Pro runs the whole loop on every page. Each plan includes a monthly Shifu allowance, shown in Settings.

How do I cancel?

From Settings, through the billing portal, in a couple of clicks. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and afterwards your vault and your documents stay accessible on the free tier.

Will my price go up later?

Not while you stay subscribed. These are launch prices: after Dec 31 the monthly plan is $39.99 for new subscribers, and the other plans may rise for new subscribers too. Your price stays the same for as long as you stay subscribed. The free tier stays free either way.
