Every "ATS score" is an estimate — no consumer tool can run your resume through a specific employer's applicant tracking system, and none of these publishes independently validated accuracy numbers. Here is how each one says its score is produced:
An AI model (Anthropic's Claude), instructed to review like an ATS plus an experienced recruiter, scores how well your resume matches the job description you paste, its ATS compatibility, and its overall quality, and lists the most important missing keywords. It is an informed estimate, not a parse by a real employer's ATS — no consumer tool can run your resume through Workday or Greenhouse on your behalf.
Teal compares your resume to a saved job description and shows which of the posting's keywords you're missing, as a match score. It doesn't publish how the score is weighted.
The Rezi Score checks your resume against 23 metrics covering content, format, and keyword targeting, per Rezi's pricing page.
Jobscan compares the resume to the job description and reports a match rate with a skills report (the full report is on Premium). It's the most established approach in the category, and reviewers note it can reward keyword-stuffing if you chase the number.
Kickresume's ATS checker reviews your resume's content and structure and suggests fixes; it's a paid feature. It doesn't publish how the score is weighted.
Score My Resume grades an uploaded PDF or DOCX resume and gives line-by-line feedback on your bullet points; Targeted Resume checks your keywords against a job description. It doesn't publish how the score is weighted.
It depends on what you need most. Teal is best for organizing a large job search, Jobscan for detailed ATS match-rate reports, Kickresume for designed templates, Resume Worded for line-by-line feedback and LinkedIn review, Rezi for ATS-minimal templates and a lifetime license, and resuFresh for tailoring a complete application — resume, cover letter, interview prep, LinkedIn — to each job, with out-loud interview practice, at the lowest monthly price in this group ($17.99).
For a quick check with no account, resuFresh's ATS checker scores your resume against a pasted job description and lists missing keywords and fixes without asking for an email. Jobscan's free plan gives 5 detailed scans a month after you sign up. Teal's free plan shows a partial keyword match inside its builder.
Kickresume's free plan allows unlimited resumes and downloads with 4 templates. Teal's free plan includes the builder, job tracker, and Chrome extension with limited AI. resuFresh gives one full tailored analysis (resume, cover letter, interview prep) free, plus the free ATS checker. Rezi's free plan is the most limited: one resume and three PDF downloads.
Month to month, resuFresh Pro is the cheapest unlimited plan here at $17.99. Paying annually, resuFresh Pro ($79/year) and Kickresume ($96/year) are the cheapest. For a short burst, resuFresh's Day Pass is $9 for 24 hours and Teal+ is $13 for a week. Rezi offers a one-time $149 lifetime plan.
You can, and many people do. A general chatbot will rewrite text well if you prompt it carefully. What dedicated tools add is structure: a repeatable score against the job description, ATS-safe templates with PDF/DOCX export, and (depending on the tool) cover letters, LinkedIn content, job tracking, or interview practice built from the same inputs.
They're estimates. No consumer tool can run your resume through a specific employer's ATS, and none publishes independently validated accuracy figures. Treat the score as a checklist: the useful part is the list of missing skills and formatting problems, checked against what the job description actually asks for.
resuFresh is a small, self-funded US team. It's newer than the other tools here and has few independent reviews so far, so the safest way to judge it is the free ATS checker (no account) and the free first analysis. Subscriptions have a 48-hour full refund. Resume text is processed in memory and not stored unless you save it.
Disclosure: resuFresh wrote this page, and we make resuFresh. Weigh it accordingly. We tried to make it the comparison we'd want to read: every competitor fact below comes from that company's own pricing or product pages, or from its public Trustpilot profile, checked in October 2026. Where a vendor doesn't advertise a feature we say "not listed" rather than guess. Prices change — check each vendor's site before you buy.
