Teal is a great spreadsheet. ApplyArc is a weapon. See why job seekers are switching to the only AI platform that helps you bypass the ATS and talk directly to hiring managers.
Both are solid job trackers with genuinely different strengths. Teal's resume builder is better. ApplyArc's AI goes deeper with interview prep, salary coaching, and a Coach that learns your search.
Teal and Huntr are "reactive" tools. You have to scour LinkedIn, find the job, click the Chrome extension, and then figure out how to stand out. It's a glorified organizational tool.
ApplyArc is proactive. We don't just track the jobs you find — we help you reverse-engineer the hiring process so you actually land the interview.
An honest look at what each platform does best. Green = ApplyArc wins. Blue = Teal wins.

Teal genuinely does some things better. We'd rather be honest about it than pretend otherwise.
If your main goal is building and tailoring resumes, Teal's builder is genuinely better. More templates, more formatting options, better ATS optimisation. No contest here.
Teal can fill application forms automatically. ApplyArc doesn't do this. If you're applying to 50+ jobs a week and speed matters most, Teal saves time on forms.
Teal's Chrome extension clips jobs from 40+ sites directly into your tracker. If you browse lots of job boards and want one-click saving, Teal's extension is more fully featured.
But if you want AI that coaches you through your entire job search (not just resume building), ApplyArc's 17 tools and Career Coach go much further. See all comparisons →

Teal pushes you to match keywords so a robot will like you. ApplyArc recognizes that humans make hiring decisions.
We focus your resume on quantified impact, not keyword density, and give you the tools to reach out to the decision-makers directly.
Teal focuses on resume building and job tracking. ApplyArc focuses on AI-powered assistance across your entire job search. 17 AI tools for cover letters, interview prep, salary negotiation, and more. Teal has a strong resume builder; ApplyArc has stronger AI content generation.
ApplyArc has more AI tools: 17 including cover letters, interview prep, salary negotiation, resume optimization, follow-up emails, and job match analysis. Teal's AI focuses primarily on resume tailoring. If you want broader AI assistance, ApplyArc offers more.
Yes. Teal has a stronger resume builder with more templates. They also offer autofill for job applications. If resume building or autofill are your top priorities, Teal may be a better fit. ApplyArc focuses more on content generation and strategic job search assistance.
ApplyArc Premium is £19/month (~$19). Teal+ is $29/month. ApplyArc's free tier includes 5 AI generations/month and up to 50 jobs. Teal's free tier is more restrictive. For overall value, ApplyArc offers more AI features at a lower price.
Teal's extension clips jobs from 40+ sites and integrates with their resume builder. ApplyArc's extension currently provides quick dashboard access. Browser-based job saving is in development. For job clipping today, Teal has the edge. ApplyArc's strength is in its AI tools once you're in the app.
Yes. Export your jobs from Teal as CSV, then contact ApplyArc support for import assistance. We're building a direct import feature. Your job search data is always portable.
ApplyArc. While Teal focuses on resume tailoring, ApplyArc's AI cover letter generator creates personalized cover letters in under 60 seconds. It analyzes the job description and your profile to generate targeted content. Teal doesn't have equivalent cover letter AI.
Choose ApplyArc if you want AI tools beyond just resumes (cover letters, interview prep, salary negotiation, an AI Career Coach), or you want a lower price. Choose Teal if resume building is your top priority, you need autofill, or you prefer their Chrome extension for job clipping.
The AI Career Coach is an ApplyArc feature that gives you daily action briefings, mock interview practice, rejection pattern analysis, and salary coaching based on your actual application data. Teal does not have an equivalent feature. It's included free with limited uses and unlimited on Premium.
ApplyArc Premium is £19/month (or £15/month on the annual plan). Teal+ is $29/month with no annual discount. ApplyArc is a small team with low overhead, so it can offer more AI tools at a lower price. Both have free tiers, but ApplyArc gives you 5 AI generations/month free vs Teal's more restricted free plan.
ApplyArc includes a Follow-Up Email Generator and a Check Application Status Email tool. Both are AI-powered and tailored to each role in your pipeline. Teal does not have follow-up email features. If staying on top of recruiter communication matters to you, ApplyArc covers that gap.
ApplyArc. Career changers benefit from the AI Career Coach, which helps reframe transferable skills in cover letters and interview prep. The Skill Gap Analysis tool shows exactly what is missing for target roles. Teal's resume builder is useful but does not offer the same level of strategic guidance for people switching fields.
