The short answer

Resume.io is free to try, but its pricing page says the free plan downloads only in TXT format. Paid access starts with a $2.95 trial that, after 7 days, auto-renews at $29.95 billed every 4 weeks unless you cancel; the other listed plan is $49.95 every 3 months, also renewing. 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.io checked on September 29, 2026 on Resume.io's own website. They can change, so follow the source links for the current version.

  • You want a wider choice of designs: Resume.io lists 30+ resume and cover letter templates.
  • You want a free ATS score before you pay anything: its basic resume checker is free.

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.
