About this listing

Product and access model reviewed from current official sources; workflow and example are editorial suggestions, not a hands-on test.

Official source

Resume scanner that compares a resume with a job posting and reports a match rate, with 5 free scans a month and a paid Premium plan.

Best suited to

Jobscan is for job seekers who want to compare a resume with one specific job posting before applying.

Meet Jobscan

Jobscan is for job seekers who want to compare a resume with one specific job posting before applying. It scans the resume against the job description and reports a Match Rate out of 100, with scored categories, missing keywords and formatting checks. A free account gets 5 scans per month, according to the site. Premium adds unlimited scans, the full Match Report, LinkedIn optimization and a cover letter report.

A practical workflow

  1. Create a free account and upload your current resume
  2. Paste the full job description for one role you want
  3. Read the Match Report and decide which gaps are true for you
  4. Edit the resume with only real experience, then rescan

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

Scan my project coordinator resume against a posting that lists scheduling, stakeholder updates and budget tracking.

Result check: Add a keyword only where it truthfully describes your own experience, because every claim in an application must be true, and treat the match rate as a guide rather than a pass or fail.

Access and alternatives

A free account gets 5 scans per month, and the site says seeing your initial Match Rate is free. Premium removes the scan cap. Jobscan's promotions page lists the Quarterly plan at $89.95 every 3 months with a 7-day free trial, and its blog lists the monthly plan at $49.95. The plan page did not load when we checked, so confirm prices there. Refunds are limited and carry a 3.5% fee under its cancellation policy.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: Teal for resume building and job tracking in one workspace; ChatGPT for drafting resume wording yourself from your own facts.

  • Publishes a cancellation and refund policy

What to consider

  • The recommended 75% match rate has no cited source
  • Refunds are considered only within 2 calendar days of billing and only if the service was unused
