Why free

Why our CV builder is free

Most builders make the CV the paywall

You've probably hit it: spend twenty minutes building a CV, reach the download button, and get asked for payment — or handed a stripped-down plain-text file. The build is the bait; the download is the charge.

We don't do that

Your CV is free to build and free to download — a properly formatted PDF or Word file, no card, no watermark, no paywall at the end. The one thing we ask for is a free account, so your work is saved and you can come back to it.

Why we can afford to

Because the CV is where a job search starts, not where we make our money. Our paid tools are for what comes next — matching your CV to a specific role, refining it against that job, and practising the interview. If those help you, some people pay for them. The CV itself stays free for everyone.

What's free, and what's paid

Free, always: build and download your CV, three applications a month, and one practice interview. Paid, only if you want more: matching, refinement, and full interview practice. No surprises and no trial traps — the prices are on the pricing page.

Honestly, though

We're not the only free option — a couple of genuinely free tools exist, and they're worth knowing about. What's different here is that free gets you a good CV and the start of everything that comes after it, in one place.
