Huntr has earned its user base — it claims 500,000+ active users, and its Chrome extension holds a 4.8/5 rating from roughly 1,300 reviews. People searching for a Huntr alternative usually aren’t leaving because the tracker is bad. They leave because tracking is all Huntr does: every application must still be found, tailored and submitted by hand, and Pro is $40/month for a tool that never applies to anything.
Full disclosure before the list: Resumly is our product, and we rank it #1. To keep that honest, every tool is judged on the same criteria — how completely it replaces Huntr’s tracking workflow, what it adds that Huntr lacks (chiefly application automation), free-tier value and verified pricing, and independent review signals. Where a competitor beats Resumly, we say so: Teal’s free tracker is more generous than ours, and Simplify’s extension has a larger review base.
Prices were checked against each vendor’s public pricing page in June 2026 — or, where no public page exists (Simplify, Jobright), against multiple independent reviews, flagged as such. Criticisms are attributed to their sources.
Why people switch away from Huntr
No auto-apply — Huntr organizes applications but never submits one
Huntr’s extension autofills application forms — unlimited autofills even on the free plan — but there is no agent or mass-apply feature of any kind: you open every posting, review every form and click Submit yourself (verified from Huntr’s feature set, June 2026). For a few chosen roles a week, that’s fine. For anyone sustaining volume, the tracker fills only as fast as your own clicking does.
Pro costs $40/month and unused AI credits don’t roll over
Huntr Pro is $40/month, dropping to $30/month billed quarterly or $26.66/month billed biannually — no annual plan, no free trial. ResumeJudge’s hands-on review calls it expensive for what it delivers and notes unused AI credits don’t carry over month to month. For comparison: Teal+ is $29 every 30 days, Careerflow Premium is $14.41/month on annual billing, and Resumly Starter is $15/month billed yearly — with auto-apply included.
Tailored resumes must be rebuilt inside Huntr’s builder
Huntr’s AI tailoring only works on resumes built in its own builder — ResumeJudge flags importing an existing resume cleanly as a real pain point and rates the templates weaker than dedicated resume builders. The free plan caps you at 2 job-tailored resumes and 2 application packets total, so tailoring is effectively a Pro feature.
Support friction and a thin independent review record
ResumeJudge describes Huntr’s support as hard to reach, with cancellations and refunds reportedly difficult. And while the extension rating is strong (4.8/5, ~1.3K ratings), Huntr has only around 19 Trustpilot reviews as of mid-2026 — little outside signal to weigh against the marketing. None of this makes Huntr bad; it does make it worth comparing before committing to $40/month.
The 6 best Huntr alternatives in 2026
Top pick
1
Resumly
An autonomous job search platform: it finds matching jobs daily, tailors a resume and cover letter per role, auto-applies, and the tracker updates itself.
Starting price
$30/mo (or $15/mo billed yearly)
Free plan
Yes — free forever, no credit card: 50 auto-applies, 1 base resume
Best for
Best for replacing Huntr’s manual tracker with one that fills itself — matching, tailoring, applying and tracking automated end to end.
Resumly attacks the part of the search Huntr leaves to you. Its tracker looks familiar — pipeline stages, funnel analytics — but nothing about it is manual: applications land automatically however they were submitted, and an inbox AI reads recruiter replies, classifies them and advances the pipeline stage on its own. Huntr’s board is something you maintain; Resumly’s maintains itself.
Upstream sits the automation Huntr doesn’t have. Autopilot scans job boards daily, scores every role against your resume with semantic matching, and generates a tailored resume and cover letter per match. Cloud auto-apply then submits end to end on top ATS platforms — live on Greenhouse today, more rolling out — filling every field, answering screening questions and handling email verification. Everywhere else, the Chrome extension autofills on 30+ ATS platforms (Workday, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS and more) and you review and click Submit. Volume runs from 50 auto-applies free to 1,800/month on Max.
It also covers what Huntr Pro charges for: an AI resume builder with 200+ templates, a file-level ATS check, AI cover letters and per-job scored interview practice. Honest caveat: Resumly is newer, with a smaller review footprint than Huntr or Teal.
Pros
True auto-apply, not just autofill: cloud submission on supported ATS (Greenhouse live, expanding) plus extension autofill on 30+ platforms
Tracker updates itself — inbox AI reads recruiter replies and advances pipeline stages
Every application gets its own tailored resume and cover letter
Lowest-priced plan on this list that includes auto-apply: Starter at $15/month billed yearly ($30 monthly) with 360 auto-applies
Usable free plan: 50 auto-applies, AI tailoring and tracking, no credit card
Cons
Cloud auto-apply starts with Greenhouse — on other ATS platforms the extension autofills and you click Submit
Free plan allows 1 base resume; Huntr’s free plan has unlimited
Web and Chrome extension only — no mobile app
Newer product with a smaller third-party review base than Huntr, Teal or Simplify
A CRM-style job tracker and AI resume builder with the most generous free tracking tier in the category.
Starting price
$29 every 30 days (also $13/week or $79/quarter)
Free plan
Yes — unlimited job tracking and unlimited resumes, free forever
Best for
Best like-for-like Huntr replacement if you mainly want free tracking — unlimited tracked jobs versus Huntr’s 100.
Teal is the most direct Huntr substitute here: a kanban-style tracker with statuses, notes, follow-up reminders, a contacts-and-companies mini-CRM and email templates per stage. Where Huntr’s free plan caps tracking at 100 jobs, Teal tracks unlimited jobs and stores unlimited resume versions free — why Reddit job-search threads recommend it as the spreadsheet replacement. Its extension bookmarks jobs from 40+ boards, and Teal claims 3.2 million members.
The trade-offs run the other way from Huntr. Teal has no autofill at all — every application is filled and submitted by hand. Free AI credits are one-time (10 bullets, 2 summaries, 2 cover letters), and the full Match Score and unlimited AI writing sit behind Teal+ at $29 every 30 days, $13 weekly or $79 quarterly. remotejobassistant.com’s testing also found Teal’s two-column templates parse incorrectly in Workday-type ATS systems, and Tom’s Guide (cited there) documented the AI inserting job-description requirements into resumes.
Pros
Unlimited free job tracking and resume versions — beats Huntr’s free 100-job cap
Large free content library — 2,000+ resume examples, 100+ cover letter templates and a resume-synonyms reference
Flexible short-term billing, no credit card required to try Teal+
Cons
No autofill and no auto-apply — fully manual applying, a step down even from Huntr
AI quality criticized: cover letters misspelling names (remotejobassistant.com) and job-description requirements inserted into resumes (Tom’s Guide, via remotejobassistant.com)
Trustpilot one-star reviews report charges after cancellation (remotejobassistant.com, March 2026)
The prominent $13/week plan annualizes to roughly $676
A free job tracker plus an autofill extension with 500,000+ users and a 4.9/5 Chrome Web Store rating — you still click Submit on every application.
Starting price
$39.99/mo for Simplify+ (per June 2026 third-party reviews; no public pricing page)
Free plan
Yes — unlimited autofill, job tracking and AI job matching
Best for
Best free autofill-plus-tracker combo for high-volume appliers willing to stay hands-on.
Simplify keeps Huntr’s most practical feature — form autofill — and makes it free without limits. The Copilot extension autofills applications across Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and other major ATS platforms, logging every submission to the tracker automatically. It is arguably the best free autofill extension available, and it adds an AI job-matching feed with daily curated lists that Huntr has no answer to.
Despite the “AI Agent” tagline, Simplify is not auto-apply — jobhire.ai’s June 2026 review puts it plainly: “you still click Submit on every application.” The same review measured autofill accuracy at 85–90% on Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby but 40–50% on iCIMS and Taleo. Simplify+ adds AI resume tailoring and cover letters at $39.99/month ($19.99/week, $89.99/quarter) — figures from independent June 2026 reviews, since simplify.jobs has no public pricing page.
Pros
Unlimited free autofill — the best free version of what Huntr offers, from a much larger extension user base (500,000+ users vs Huntr’s ~90,000 on the Chrome Web Store)
Top-rated extension: 4.9/5, ~3.7K ratings, 500K+ users (verified June 2026)
Tracker logs every extension-submitted application automatically
Free AI job-matching feed with daily curated lists
Cons
Not true auto-apply despite the “AI Agent” marketing — every submission is manual (jobhire.ai, June 2026)
No public pricing page — Simplify+ prices only visible in-app, a transparency issue per reviewers
Autofill accuracy drops to ~40–50% on iCIMS and Taleo (jobhire.ai testing)
Trustpilot 3.0/5 from 9 reviews, ~67% one-star, citing billing complaints (March 2026, via remotejobassistant.com)
Best if your search centers on LinkedIn visibility and you want cheap all-in-one tooling rather than automation.
Careerflow started as a LinkedIn optimization tool, and that remains its standout: the free LinkedIn Profile Optimizer scores your profile with a section-by-section checklist — something no one else on this list does as well. Around it sits a familiar bundle: a job tracker across 45+ platforms, AI resume builder with ATS scoring, cover letters, a networking tracker, and AI mock interviews on Premium Plus. On annual billing, Premium works out to $14.41/month — among the cheapest paid entries in the category.
The catch is the free tier and the reliability record. Free users get 1 resume and 10 tracked jobs — a tenth of Huntr’s free cap — and the pricing page marks several free features as “limited soon.” usesprout.com’s November 2025 review reports the AI “frequently introduces basic mistakes and adds incorrect information” to resumes; and Reddit users describe the autofill as slow or non-functional on some sites. Like Huntr, there is no auto-apply.
Pros
Best-known free LinkedIn profile optimizer, with section-by-section scoring
Cheap annual pricing — effectively $14.41/month for Premium
AI mock interviews on Premium Plus, which Huntr, Teal and Simplify all lack
An AI job-matching copilot with an agent that can apply for you — strongest at discovery, with documented billing complaints to weigh.
Starting price
~$39.99/mo for Turbo (third-party reported; no public pricing page)
Free plan
Yes — limited daily credits for matching and tailoring
Best for
Best for U.S. job seekers who care most about job discovery and referrals — especially H1B-dependent candidates.
Jobright comes at the problem from the opposite end: instead of organizing applications you found, it finds the jobs. Its engine scores 400,000+ new postings daily across a claimed 8M+ listings, with filters Huntr can’t match — including H1B sponsorship. Insider Connections surfaces alumni and employee contacts for referrals, and the Jobright Agent (launched 2025) can tailor documents, fill forms and submit on your behalf in supervised or autopilot mode.
The caveats are well documented. zplatform.ai’s analysis of one-star Trustpilot reviews found ~72% cite billing problems — continued charges after cancellation, auto-renewals without warning — and the same review calls the agent still beta-quality. Pricing isn’t public: third-party reviews report Turbo at $39.99/month, $17.99/week or $89.99/quarter. Coverage is U.S.-only, and the tracker is a side feature, not a Huntr-grade workspace.
Pros
Strong AI matching over a very large listing pool, with early alerts and an H1B filter
Insider Connections surfaces referral contacts — a genuine differentiator
True agent-based auto-apply with a supervised mode
Largest Trustpilot review base on this list: ~1,755 reviews as of mid-2026 with a displayed score around 4.5–4.8 (search-derived; direct fetch blocked)
Cons
Billing and cancellation complaints dominate one-star Trustpilot reviews (~72% per zplatform.ai)
Reddit reports of AI resumes containing fabricated skills or metrics (18+ in zplatform.ai’s sample)
No public pricing page, and a 33% price rise in 2026 ($29.99 to $39.99/month, per resumehog.com and zplatform.ai)
U.S.-only coverage; the tracker is basic compared to Huntr or Teal
A free, fully customizable DIY job tracker built from a database template — total control, zero automation.
Starting price
Free for personal use (paid plans per Notion’s current pricing page)
Free plan
Yes — the free personal plan covers a job tracker fully
Best for
Best free DIY option if you want complete control over your tracking system and no new subscription.
If what you liked about Huntr was the board itself, you can rebuild it in Notion in an afternoon and never hit a tracked-jobs cap. A kanban or table database with stages, dates, contacts and notes replicates most of Huntr’s workspace, the template gallery has ready-made job-search trackers to start from, and the free personal plan covers all of it.
The cost is your time. Notion has no job clipper, autofill, AI tailoring, match scoring or auto-apply: every card is created and dragged by hand. That maintenance burden — the spreadsheet problem — is exactly what Huntr was built to remove. Notion suits a low-volume, deliberate search where you apply to a few chosen roles a week and enjoy owning the system.
Pros
Free for personal use with no tracked-jobs limit
Fully customizable — your fields, your views, your workflow
No new subscription or lock-in; the data is yours to export
Cons
Entirely manual — no job clipping, autofill, AI tailoring or auto-apply
You build and maintain it yourself; entropy sets in during a high-volume search
Start by naming what the tracker is for. If it’s record-keeping — where you applied, when, who you talked to — a free tracker is enough: Teal (unlimited free tracking) or a Notion template replaces Huntr without spending anything. If the bottleneck is form-filling speed, Simplify’s free unlimited autofill does what Huntr’s does, with a larger user base. If the bottleneck is the applying itself — finding roles, tailoring documents, submitting — only Resumly and Jobright actually remove it; everything else assists.
Then test the free tier before paying. The free tiers differ more than the paid ones: Huntr gives 100 tracked jobs and unlimited autofills but only 2 tailored resumes; Teal gives unlimited tracking but one-time AI credits; Careerflow caps tracking at 10 jobs; Resumly includes 50 auto-applies with no card. A week on a free plan tells you more than any comparison page — including this one.
Autofill assist vs. true auto-apply: know which one you’re buying
The most common disappointment in this category comes from conflating two things. Autofill assist — Huntr, Simplify, Careerflow — fills form fields while you watch; you review and click Submit every time, and throughput is limited by your attention (jobhire.ai estimates 6–10 assisted applications per hour with Simplify). True auto-apply — Resumly and Jobright — submits applications without you present, then logs the result.
Within true auto-apply, check the fine print. Resumly’s cloud auto-apply runs end to end on top ATS platforms starting with Greenhouse (expanding), with extension autofill on 30+ others, and its caps are published (50 free up to 1,800/month). Jobright’s agent claims broad automation, but one 2026 review (zplatform.ai) called it still beta-quality, and its limits aren’t published. Note that Resumly does not automate LinkedIn Easy Apply — its cloud auto-apply works at the ATS level. LinkedIn’s terms prohibit automated activity on its platform, so treat any tool promising Easy Apply automation with caution.
Pricing traps to watch for in this category
Three patterns recur. Weekly billing that compounds: Teal’s $13/week plan annualizes to roughly $676; Simplify and Jobright sell $18–20 weekly tiers. Missing public pricing: Simplify and Jobright only reveal prices in-app — Huntr, Teal, Careerflow and Resumly all publish theirs. Cancellation friction: billing complaints appear in the negative reviews of Teal, Simplify and Jobright cited above; Careerflow reviewers report refund friction on Trustpilot (via remotejobassistant.com), and ResumeJudge reports cancellation difficulty with Huntr. Pay monthly first, confirm the cancellation path, and calendar the renewal date.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Huntr alternative?
It depends on what you want beyond tracking. For pure free tracking, Teal — unlimited tracked jobs versus Huntr’s free cap of 100. For free form autofill, Simplify — unlimited, with a 4.9/5 Chrome Web Store rating from roughly 3,700 reviews. For automating the search itself, Resumly (our product) is our pick: it finds matching jobs daily, tailors a resume and cover letter per role, auto-applies on supported ATS platforms, and updates its tracker by reading recruiter replies — from $15/month billed yearly, with 50 free auto-applies.
Does Huntr have auto-apply?
No. Verified against huntr.co in June 2026: Huntr offers unlimited autofill through its Chrome extension — even free — but no agent or auto-apply feature; you review and click Submit on every application. The tools on this list that actually submit for you are Resumly (cloud auto-apply live on Greenhouse, expanding, plus extension autofill on 30+ ATS platforms) and Jobright (agent-based, though one 2026 review called it beta-quality).
Is Huntr free?
Yes — a permanent free plan, verified on huntr.co/pricing in June 2026: 100 tracked jobs, unlimited base resumes, unlimited autofills, 100 document uploads and the Chrome job clipper, ad-free. The limits bite on AI: only 2 job-tailored resumes and 2 application packets total. Pro is $40/month, $30/month billed quarterly, or $26.66/month billed biannually — no annual plan, no free trial.
What is the best free Huntr alternative?
For tracking alone, Teal — unlimited free tracking and resume versions versus Huntr’s 100-job cap. For autofill, Simplify — unlimited and free, with automatic logging of submitted applications. For automation, Resumly’s free plan includes 50 auto-applies, AI-tailored resumes and cover letters, and automatic tracking with no credit card. A Notion template is free if you want a board you fully control. Careerflow’s free tier is the weakest for tracking specifically: it caps at 10 jobs.
Huntr vs Teal: which job tracker is better?
For free tracking volume, Teal: unlimited tracked jobs and resumes versus Huntr’s 100. For workflow speed, Huntr: its unlimited free autofill has no Teal equivalent — Teal has no autofill at all. On paid tiers, Teal+ at $29 every 30 days undercuts Huntr Pro at $40/month. Both carry reviewer caveats: Huntr’s tailored resumes must be rebuilt in its own builder (per ResumeJudge), while Teal’s two-column templates parse incorrectly in Workday-type ATS systems (per remotejobassistant.com testing). Neither applies to jobs for you.
Is Huntr Pro worth $40 a month?
Hard to justify at the monthly rate unless you live in Huntr daily. Pro buys unlimited AI tailoring, cover letters and tracking — but ResumeJudge calls it expensive for what it is and notes unused AI credits don’t roll over. Quarterly ($30/month) or biannual ($26.66/month) billing softens it. For context: Teal+ is $29 every 30 days, Careerflow Premium about $14.41/month annually, and Resumly Starter $15/month billed yearly with 360 auto-applies — actual submission, which Huntr doesn’t offer at any price.
Can any Huntr alternative actually apply to jobs for me?
Two can. Resumly submits applications server-side on supported ATS platforms — live on Greenhouse, expanding — handling form fields, screening questions and email verification, with published caps (50 free up to 1,800/month); elsewhere its extension autofills and you click Submit. Jobright’s Agent applies in supervised or autopilot mode, though a 2026 review (zplatform.ai) called it beta-quality, and its pricing and limits aren’t published. Teal, Careerflow and Notion submit nothing; Simplify and Huntr autofill forms but leave the Submit click to you.
