Quick answer
If you are weighing AIApply’s Auto Apply packs (up to $499 for 2,000 applications) or its $12/month tailoring add-ons, Jobply is a free alternative focused on quality: it tailors your résumé and cover letter for each job you pick, and you choose whether it auto-submits. Simplify offers free autofill, Jobright offers agent-driven matching, and Jack & Jill offers free intros and coaching.

Our order favors free, tailored applications where you control submission. If you want something else, such as bulk auto-apply or introductions, a different tool may suit you better, and we say so below.
A free AI job application copilot: a free job board plus a Chrome extension that generates a tailored résumé and cover letter for each job, autofills the application, and lets you choose between auto-submit and reviewing it yourself.
A YC-backed "personal AI talent agent" with a free Copilot autofill extension and a paid Simplify+ plan for AI tailoring, cover letters, and Autopilot.
An "AI career agent" with job matching, résumé help, an insider-connections and coaching copilot, and Jobright Agent, which finds, customizes, and submits applications.
Two AI agents: Jack works for candidates and Jill works for employers. When both agree on a match, they introduce you to the company directly and skip the application.
Jobply is free for job seekers. It writes AI cover letters, tailors your résumé to each job, and answers custom application questions. Jack & Jill is also free for candidates and includes mock interviews.
Jack & Jill includes free mock interviews and salary negotiation help for candidates. Jobply focuses on applications, not interview prep.
Application volume has risen sharply and employers are pushing back on bot-generated applications. Fewer tailored applications that you review are usually a better use of your time and money.
