Huntr in one paragraph
Huntr's strength is structure. Every job is a card; cards carry contacts, activities, documents and notes; the board is polished and the extension clips a posting into it in one click. It suits people who like a CRM and are prepared to keep it up to date. Its resume builder arrived later and is serviceable rather than the reason to choose it.
Teal in one paragraph
Teal's strength is the resume. You paste a posting, it scores your resume against the keywords and helps you rewrite sections; the tracker is there to keep the postings you are tailoring for. If the document is your problem, Teal is the more focused tool. Its board is lighter than Huntr's.
Where they are the same
Both track what you save, not what you apply to. Both rely on you moving cards. Both have free plans with paid tiers that unlock volume or AI. Both have Chrome extensions that clip postings. Neither notices when a company goes quiet, and neither treats a long search as something that wears people down.
Where Apptracka differs
The extension records an application when it sees evidence of submission - a form submit, a click on a submit control inside an application form, or arrival at a page reachable only by applying - across LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and 40+ boards and ATSes. Nothing to clip. The pipeline then keeps itself: reminders, automatic Ghosted after a silence you choose, a timeline per job, interview rounds and contacts on the card, and conversion analytics (response, interview and offer rates, by source on Pro). Every AI tool is on the free plan with a monthly allowance; Pro adds capacity, resume tailoring and the negotiation brief. Prices: free with no card, or US$9.99 a month / US$79.99 a year.
