Honest take

“Resume Worded is a serious product that’s been around longer than we have. If you want LinkedIn profile help or ATS keyword matching against a specific job description as part of one subscription, they do that and we don’t. Our edge is price (free), speed (no signup), and tone (comedy that gets shared).”

Try it. Free. 30 seconds.

No signup, no catch. Upload your resume and see the roast yourself. Then decide which tool fits your situation.

Questions people ask

Is RoastMyResume actually free compared to Resume Worded?

Yes. Our full roast — letter grade, category breakdown, roast lines, and verdict — is free with no account. Resume Worded’s full feedback requires a paid subscription. We make money only on optional professional rewrites starting at $4.99.

Does RoastMyResume do ATS keyword matching like Resume Worded?

Not against a specific job description. We flag generic ATS issues (vague skills, missing quantification, filler words) as part of the roast, but if you want keyword-match scoring against a posted job, Resume Worded and Jobscan are better fits.

Can I use both?

Absolutely. A lot of people roast their resume with us first to identify the comedic/weak parts, then run the revised version through a tool like Resume Worded or Jobscan for keyword-matching against a target role.
