Resume Genius alternative

Resume Genius pricing from its own site: the free TXT plan, the $2.95 trial that renews at $23.95 every four weeks, cancelling, and a builder that charges once.

The short answer

Resume Genius lets you build a resume for free, but its pricing page lists the free resume download as TXT only. Paid access starts with a $2.95 14-day trial that auto-renews at $23.95 billed every four weeks, or $95.40 for a year, renewing annually. (One of its FAQ pages describes the trial renewal differently; the pricing page is quoted here.) InMyResume charges once instead: $4.90 for one clean PDF or $29 for 30 days, and the Basic template downloads free as a PDF with no watermark.

Prices and terms for Resume Genius checked on September 29, 2026 on Resume Genius's own website. They can change, so follow the source links for the current version.

When Resume Genius is the better choice

  • You need a Word file: paid plans download PDF, Word and TXT, and InMyResume exports PDF only.
  • You would rather fill in a template yourself: it offers hundreds of free Word and Google Docs templates.
  • You want to write cover letters on a free plan: the free plan card lists the cover letter builder.

When InMyResume is the better choice

  • You want to pay once and be done: $4.90 buys one clean PDF and $29 buys 30 days of everything. Neither renews.
  • You want a free PDF with no watermark: the Basic template downloads clean, with no card and no account.
  • You would rather not create an account: writing the resume and buying the $4.90 PDF both work without one.
  • You want the AI to stick to your facts: it rewrites what you typed and never invents numbers or job titles.

Try it without a subscription

Paste your experience as it is, see the resume on every template, and download the Basic template free. Pay only if you want another template without the watermark.
