How far does it go?
- What a job search costsA three-month search costs $49 x 3 = $147 on monthly billing, $99 on the quarterly plan or $229 on the yearly plan. A full year on monthly billing is $49 x 12 = $588, against $229 for the yearly plan, so the yearly plan only pays off if you would otherwise keep Pro for about five months or more. Arithmetic on published prices; features are the same on all three Pro lengths according to the Pro page, and no per-use charge is listed.
Arithmetic from the published allowances above, not a usage test.

Key features
| Feature | What it does | Watch out |
|---|---|---|
| Resume score out of 100 with line-by-line feedback from 30+ recruiter checks (homepage) | The homepage says the scanner runs 30+ recruiter checks, pins each flag to the exact line and gives the same score for the same resume, so progress can be compared between uploads. | The checks are not listed, and the free account shows only part of the report, so what you see before paying is limited. |
| Smart Target compares a resume with a pasted job description and lists matched and missing keywords (homepage) | You paste a job description and the tool shows a relevancy score with the keywords found and missing, so you can add the ones that are true of you. | We did not run it, and the scoring weights are not published. |
| AutoFix drafts rewrites of weak lines from your own experience for you to approve (homepage) | — | |
| Cover letter generator and AI writer built from the resume and the job (homepage) | — | |
| LinkedIn Review with keyword analysis, plus 250+ sample resume lines (homepage and Pro page) | — | |
| ATS-oriented resume templates for Word and Google Docs (homepage) | — | |
| Privacy and AI providers | The privacy policy says AI features use OpenAI, Gemini and Anthropic under contracts that bar training on your data, and that resume deletion on request takes 48 hours. | The policy also says providers keep data briefly for abuse monitoring, and the account deletion section says a few days. |
What Resume Worded costs
Resume Worded has a free account, but the full reports are in Pro. The Pro page lists $49 billed monthly, $99 billed every 3 months (shown as $33 a month) and $229 billed once for a year (shown as $19 a month), each cancellable at any time. The site’s own pricing path returns a 404; the plans live on the Pro page. Payments go through Paddle, which the terms name as merchant of record.
What the free account includes is only loosely stated. The terms say a subset of sample resume lines and a subset of the Score My Resume analysis are free. The Pro page lists the full report, line-by-line analysis, full Targeted Resume and LinkedIn reports, AI writer features and ATS templates as Pro items, but the tick marks beside each row were not readable, so we do not claim which rows the free column covers.
What each billing length costs over a search
A three-month search costs $147 on monthly billing, $99 on the quarterly plan and $229 on the yearly plan. Twelve monthly payments would be $588 against $229 for the year, so the yearly plan only pays off if you would otherwise keep Pro for about five months or more. Compare billed totals, not the per-month equivalents, which are the provider’s division of one payment.
What to check before paying
The terms refuse refunds to first-time purchasers, on the grounds that the free tier lets you inspect the product. Existing members who forgot to cancel must contact support within 3 days of the billing date, and requests are judged case by case. The upload box takes English resumes in PDF or DOCX up to 2 MB. The privacy policy says AI features use OpenAI, Gemini and Anthropic under contracts that bar training on your data, with brief retention for abuse monitoring, and that a resume can be deleted on request. The homepage’s 3x interviews and 5x opportunities figures are marketing claims with no method shown.
How could you check Resume Worded before paying?
Proposed evaluation · not performed yet
Use the free score on one real resume before buying Pro.
- Upload your current resume as a PDF or DOCX and note the score and which parts of the report are shown.
- Fix the flagged lines yourself, upload again and see whether the score moves.
- Paste one real job posting into the targeting tool and record the missing keywords it lists.
- Decide how many months of searching you expect, then pick the billing length using the totals above.
- Ask support in writing how the refund and cancellation rules apply to your plan.
Accept it if the free score points to lines you agree are weak and the hidden part of the report is worth the price for your search length. Reject it if the free result adds nothing you could not see yourself, or if you cannot accept a no-refund first purchase. No result is recorded here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Resume Worded free?
Partly. A free account gives a resume score and a subset of the analysis and sample lines, according to the homepage and terms. The full Score My Resume report, full targeting and LinkedIn reports, AI writer features and templates are listed as Pro items. The pages do not state free limits row by row, so upload a resume before deciding.
How much does Resume Worded Pro cost?
Pro is $49 billed monthly, $99 billed every 3 months or $229 billed once for a year, each cancellable anytime. The site shows $33 and $19 a month for the longer plans, which are the billed totals divided by months. Twelve monthly payments would be $588, so only a long search makes the yearly plan cheaper.
Does Resume Worded give refunds?
Not to first-time buyers. The terms say new purchasers cannot be refunded because the free tier lets them inspect the product. Existing members who forgot to cancel should contact support within 3 days of the billing date, and those requests are judged case by case.

What files does Resume Worded accept?
