Where Teal is the better fit
Teal has years of work in its resume editor: templates, section-level rewriting, a keyword match score and a Chrome extension that clips postings into the tracker. If you are early in a search and the document itself is the problem, Teal's editor is more mature than anything here. Its tracker is also perfectly good - it just relies on you (or its clipper) to add each job, and on you to move it along.
Where Apptracka is the better fit
Apptracka assumes you will apply to a hundred roles and forget half of them. The extension detects the submission itself - a form submit, a click on an apply control, a confirmation page you can only reach by applying - and saves the role, company, location, description, source and date with nothing to click. Viewing a posting never creates a record. From there the pipeline does the housekeeping: follow-up reminders, applications that quietly move to Ghosted after a silence you choose, and a per-job timeline of every status change. The AI tools read your CV and the saved description: fit score with the gaps named, skill gap, ATS scan, cover letter in your own voice, interview questions pitched at your level, STAR stories, salary benchmark, and a resume tailored to the posting that never invents an employer or a date.
Pricing, side by side
Apptracka's free plan needs no card: unlimited tracking, the extension with autofill, reminders, the community, wellness tools, one stored CV and 30 AI analyses a month. Pro is US$9.99 a month or US$79.99 a year (charged in CAD in Canada and EUR in Europe) for 200 analyses a day, up to 10 stored CVs and per-job resume tailoring. Teal's free plan covers the tracker and basic resume tools; Teal+ unlocks unlimited AI and analysis and is billed weekly, monthly or quarterly. Their numbers move, so read tealhq.com for today's prices rather than a comparison page.
Moving from Teal
Export your Teal tracker as CSV and import it from the Applications page - Apptracka matches the columns itself and shows you a preview, including anything it would skip as a duplicate, before writing. Upload the CV you were tailoring in Teal once; the AI tools and the resume builder read from it. Everything you apply to from then on records itself. Leaving is as easy: every plan exports the full pipeline as CSV.

Frequently asked questions
Does Apptracka have a resume builder like Teal?
Yes, on Pro: it builds a clean, ATS-safe resume from your stored CV and tailors it to a saved posting - reordering and rewording bullets, never inventing employers or dates - and exports it as PDF. Teal's editor has more templates and manual controls; Apptracka's is built to be fast per job.
Is the job tracker free?
Yes. Tracking is unlimited on the free plan, with no card. Pro raises the AI allowance and stored CVs.
Which is better for a long job search?
If your bottleneck is the resume, Teal. If your bottleneck is keeping fifty applications straight and following up on time, Apptracka - because the tracking is automatic and the follow-up is built in.
