What $4.99/week includes

Properly Hired Pro gives you unlimited access to AI job analysis, resume tailoring, cover letter generation, AI detection scanning, job matching, application tracking, interview prep, and the autofill vault. You also get follow-up scheduling and activity insights.

  • Unlimited job analysis and resume optimization.
  • AI Scanner with no weekly cap.
  • Job Matcher with fit scoring.
  • Application Tracker and Review Queue.
  • Interview prep and application Q&A.
  • Autofill Vault for repeat applications.

How it compares to alternatives

A single session with a career coach typically costs $100–$300 per hour. Professional resume writing services charge $200–$500 per resume — and you get one version, not a tailored version for every application. Properly Hired gives you the same kind of tools those services use, for a fraction of the cost, with the freedom to run your own process.

  • Career coach: $100–$300/hour.
  • Resume writing service: $200–$500 per resume.
  • Properly Hired Pro: $4.99/week for unlimited tailored versions.
  • You keep your data and your judgment.

Try before you pay

The free tier lets you run a full job analysis, optimize a resume, generate a cover letter, and scan for AI-sounding text — every week, at no cost. If you need more volume or the tracking tools, Pro is there when you are ready.

  • Free weekly limits on all core AI features.
  • No credit card required to start.
  • Upgrade only when your search needs it.
  • Cancel anytime — no lock-in.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free option?

Yes. Job analysis, resume optimization, cover letters, and the AI Scanner are free with weekly limits. No credit card required.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account. You keep access until the end of your billing period.

Is $4.99/week worth it?

If you are actively job searching and applying to multiple roles, the time saved on resume tailoring and application tracking alone typically pays for itself in the first week. If you are casually browsing, the free tier may be enough.
