What each tool actually does

Feature-by-feature
Honest take
“Teal is genuinely good if you’re in an active job search and want tracking + tailoring + building in one tool. We do less — deliberately. Our roast is a point check, not a workflow. If you want a single job-search hub and can stomach the subscription, Teal wins. If you just need to know whether your resume is any good, we’re faster, free, and funnier.”
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
Can RoastMyResume track my job applications?
No. We don’t store your data beyond 1 hour, and we don’t have a tracker feature. If you need job application tracking, Teal or a simple spreadsheet works.
Should I use both?
Sure. A common workflow: build in Teal, roast with us to catch weak bullets, tailor back in Teal for specific applications. We’re the gut-check step.
Is the subscription model worth it?
Depends on how actively you’re applying. If you’re sending 50+ apps a month and need organization, probably yes. If you’re revising one resume and want feedback, paying for a full platform is overkill — that’s where we fit.
