Why teams choose TryApplyNow

Track and apply, not just track

Huntr helps you organize your job search with beautiful Kanban boards, but you still have to find jobs, write resumes, and submit applications yourself. TryApplyNow automates the entire pipeline - from discovery through submission - and tracks everything automatically.

AI that tailors, not just templates

Huntr's AI resume builder works from templates with basic customization. TryApplyNow rewrites your actual bullet points to mirror each job description's language and priorities, producing resumes that pass ATS filters at significantly higher rates.

Know which jobs are worth pursuing

In Huntr, every job on your board looks the same - there's no way to know which ones you're most qualified for. TryApplyNow's 0-100 match scoring shows you exactly where to focus your energy based on your actual skills and experience.

More features, lower price

Huntr Pro costs $40/mo and removes the 40-job cap plus adds AI resume features. TryApplyNow Pro at $19/mo includes AI tailoring, auto-apply, match scoring, email finding, and application tracking with no job limits - nearly double the features at half the price.
