Why Switch
Simplify fills forms with the same information every time. TryApplyNow rewrites your resume for each specific job, dramatically improving your ATS pass rate.
TryApplyNow's AI search finds and ranks jobs across 20+ boards. Simplify waits for you to find jobs yourself, then helps you fill out the form.
Match scores tell you which opportunities are worth pursuing. Without scoring, you're guessing which jobs are a good fit.
TryApplyNow fills each application with a tailored resume and leaves the final review and submit to you, so every application is genuinely yours.
FAQ
Can I use TryApplyNow and Simplify together?
You can, but TryApplyNow already covers job discovery and per-job resume tailoring in one platform. Auto-apply — which will handle application submission — is coming soon.
Does TryApplyNow require a browser extension?
No. TryApplyNow is a full web platform - no extension needed. Everything works from your dashboard without installing anything in your browser.
How is AI tailoring different from auto-fill?
Auto-fill pastes the same text into every application. AI tailoring rewrites your bullet points to match each job's specific requirements, keywords, and priorities. It's the difference between a generic and a targeted application.
Which tool has better application tracking?
TryApplyNow includes comprehensive tracking with status pipeline, follow-up reminders, and response analytics. You can see which applications are performing best and refine your approach.
Is TryApplyNow more expensive than Simplify?
Both offer free tiers. TryApplyNow's premium plan includes AI resume tailoring, match scoring, and email finder — features Simplify doesn't offer at any price. Auto-apply is coming soon.
