AIApply

AIApply is an auto-apply service: on a paid plan it looks for jobs that match your settings and submits applications for you, and with paid add-ons it tailors your resume and cover letter to each job. It also has a resume and cover letter builder, a job board, AI interview practice and Interview Buddy, a desktop app that suggests answers during a live interview.

What can you do with AIApply?

Let it find jobs and apply for you

You take a short quiz, upload your resume or LinkedIn profile and set the roles, locations and companies to target or avoid. Auto Apply then looks for matching jobs every day and fills in and submits applications, simple and multi-step ones, from your profile and a library of saved answers; the dashboard shows where it applied and which resume it sent.

A resume and cover letter tailored to each job are optional add-ons, each paid separately; without them, applications go out with your standard documents, according to AIApply's in-app help. Its Auto Apply page describes tailoring as part of every application.

According to its Terms of Service, you choose how much it does on its own: in Review mode you approve each match, in Hybrid mode it applies to high-fit roles by itself and asks you about the rest, and in Auto mode it applies to everything that fits your settings. The free account has no such setting, so we haven't seen which mode a paid plan starts in.

Check what it sends. Users repeatedly report applications to roles outside the role, level, salary or location they set, and some report wrong answers to employers, for example that they needed visa sponsorship or a lower salary. Several who are happy with it switched to reviewing every match. AIApply's Terms say you must check its output before it's submitted (Trustpilot, Reddit).

Users also report that applications go out from an email address AIApply sets up, so employer replies arrive in its inbox rather than yours, and that sites asking you to create an account, such as Workday, often fail. One employer wrote on Reddit that AIApply applications are easy to recognise: the file names mention it, and cover letter text runs off the page.

Write cover letters and tailored resumes

Paste a job description and AIApply writes a cover letter and a resume tailored to it from your own resume. The letter can be edited by hand or with AI Edit (shorter, more formal, translated) and downloaded as a PDF on the free account.

In our test the cover letter stuck to facts from our resume and didn't claim experience with a tool the job asked for and we lacked; one sentence offered to improve email marketing, which our resume didn't mention. The tailored resume was generated, but opening it led to the paywall of the Resume plan, which also covers ATS checks, job tracking, interview practice and resume translations. These documents are separate from the tailoring add-ons that Auto Apply uses.

Free: cover lettersTailored resumes: Resume plan

Browse its job board

The job board searches by title and location, with filters for work mode, skills, company and seniority. AIApply calls it “a small sample” of what Auto Apply searches.

In our search many listings didn't match the role we looked for, and most were one to four weeks old. On the free account, opening the original listing led to a paywall, and Auto Apply on a listing opened the Auto Apply checkout.

Free to browseOpening listings: paid

Get answer suggestions during a live interview

Interview Buddy is a Mac and Windows app that listens to an interview on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or another browser platform and shows talking points and suggested answers based on your resume and the job description. AIApply says it “can stay hidden during screen sharing” and that the interviewer won't know you're using it. Many employers don't allow outside help in interviews, so check the rules for yours.

It's a separate subscription: in our test, opening it led to its own checkout, with no free access or trial.

Separate subscriptionNot tested by us

Practise interviews

AIApply's mock interview asks role-specific questions for a job and gives feedback. On the free account, starting one opened the Resume plan paywall, which lists an AI interview prep tool. Its free tools page has a separate interview simulator, an interview question generator and a STAR answer generator.

Other tools advertised as free

AIApply lists about 45 single-purpose tools as free on aiapply.co/tools: an ATS resume checker, a cover letter checker, LinkedIn headline and summary writers, salary and job offer calculators, a job application tracker and more.

Free plan & pricing

Free: cover letters and job-board browsing. Everything else is three separate subscriptions: Auto Apply (applications, with optional tailoring add-ons), the Resume plan (documents and interview practice) and Interview Buddy (help during live interviews). AIApply's homepage FAQ describes one Premium subscription with only Auto Apply credits sold extra, but we were shown separate checkouts for each, so we can't confirm what any purchase includes from the others.

Before you pay

  • What you're chargedPrices appear only after the sign-up quiz or when you open a paid feature; there is no public pricing page. The Auto Apply checkout shows $12, $23 and $16 “per week”, but AIApply bills only monthly, quarterly or yearly; its in-app help calls the weekly figure “an illustrative breakdown”, and several reviewers say they thought they were paying for a week. The preselected plan depends on where you start: Starter after the homepage quiz, Pro+ from a job listing. Each checkout shows a discount countdown and a “One Time Only” banner that start again when they run out; the table shows the prices we saw at checkout. ·
  • Application creditsOne credit per submitted application (failed or unsupported ones don't count, according to the in-app help); when they run out, Auto Apply stops until the plan renews or you upgrade. Upgrading moves your billing date; the in-app help lists $49 for 100 up to $499 for 2,000 applications (it says 600 for $199, the 3-month plan itself 750). Unused credits carry over while you stay subscribed and are lost when a cancelled plan ends. Broad criteria and Auto mode can use a small plan up “within days”, AIApply says, and running out of credits is a recurring complaint.
  • Free trial and refundsNo free trial, and refunds are generally not given. The Terms of Service (September 7, 2026) allow one only for an accidental purchase reported within 30 minutes with no meaningful use, or a verified technical issue; Auto Apply can't be refunded once applications have been sent, and renewals generally can't either. AIApply's FAQ sounds softer (refunds “case-by-case”, “often prorated”), but the Terms are the binding document; they also say refunds required by law still apply. Refused refunds are a common complaint.
  • Renewal and cancellationAll plans renew automatically at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. According to the in-app help, you cancel under Settings › Billing and keep access to the end of the paid period; plan changes go through the website chat. We haven't tried cancelling. Users repeatedly describe a long cancellation flow with discount offers, and charges after cancelling. For UK residents, the Terms say that by buying you acknowledge losing the 14-day right to cancel.

What AIApply promises

On its homepage and Auto Apply page: “Loved by 2,064,348 users”, “61% of users get an interview in first 10 days”, “You are 80% more likely to get a job faster”, “Land up to 80% more interviews” and “20M+ jobs”; its checkout pages show “4.7” and “Loved by 2m+ jobseekers”. No method is given, and its Terms say it doesn't guarantee interviews or offers. We haven't measured any of these.

Terms that apply

According to the general Terms of Service, Auto Apply and Interview Buddy have their own terms, which take priority and are to be provided before you use those services. We didn't see them before payment and haven't read them. The general Terms say AI output may be inaccurate and you must check it before it's submitted, that you mustn't misrepresent your right to work, and that AIApply may queue or cap applications. US residents agree to individual arbitration and give up class actions; English law applies.

What information AIApply asks for

The quiz asks for the jobs and locations you want and your salary floor; Auto Apply also needs your resume or LinkedIn profile. When it applies, AIApply sends your application data, resume and contact details to the employer's hiring system. According to its Terms, if you accept marketing cookies, a hashed version of your contact details may be shared with advertising platforms (Privacy Policy).

FAQ

Is AIApply free?

Only in part. A free account writes cover letters you can edit and download and lets you browse the job board; tailored resumes, Auto Apply and Interview Buddy need paid subscriptions. There's no free trial.

How much does AIApply cost?

Auto Apply starts at $49 a month for 100 applications, plus $12 a month for each tailoring add-on. The Resume plan ($29 a month) and Interview Buddy ($19 a month) are separate subscriptions.

Can I check applications before AIApply sends them?

Yes, according to its Terms: in Review mode you approve each match, and in Hybrid mode only high-fit roles are sent without asking. The free account has no such setting, so we haven't seen which mode a paid plan starts in.

Can I get a refund?

Generally no. AIApply's Terms allow a refund for an accidental purchase reported within 30 minutes with no meaningful use, or for a verified technical issue; Auto Apply isn't refundable once applications have been sent, and renewals generally aren't.

Does AIApply apply from my own email address?

Users report that it doesn't: applications go out from an address AIApply sets up, and replies arrive in its inbox. AIApply says applications are “sent through trusted domains”.

On October 13 we opened Auto Apply from a job listing, a mock interview and Interview Buddy again, and watched the discount countdowns restart. We haven't paid for any plan, so we haven't seen Auto Apply send applications, opened a tailored resume, used Interview Buddy or tried cancelling.
