Rezi builds your resume. ApplyArc runs your whole job search. One designs the CV from scratch. The other tracks every application and handles the 17 tools after it.
Be clear-eyed: Rezi is one of the best AI resume builders on the market · 100+ ATS templates, from-scratch building, a $149 lifetime plan. ApplyArc is not a resume builder · it's a kanban tracker, an ATS checker, and 18 AI tools around the CV you already have. Different halves of the hunt.
Most tools ship the model's first draft. ApplyArc verifies the numbers, strips the AI tells, and pulls from one resume memory across every tool.
Every AI output runs through metricVerifier. If a percentage or revenue figure isn't on your real CV, it gets caught and rewritten before you see it.
235+ patterns blocked · ‘spearheaded’, ‘leveraged’, em-dash tricolons. Recruiters spot AI in seconds. We rewrite the giveaways before they ship.
18 AI tools share one context. Cover letter, interview prep, salary script · every output draws from the same canonical achievements. Same voice, every time.
Rezi is honest about what it is: a resume builder. 100+ ATS templates, from-scratch building, an AI writer for bullets and cover letters. It does that job well. But the moment you click submit on the application, Rezi's job is done · there's no tracker, no interview prep, no follow-up, no salary script.
ApplyArc is the platform that does the rest · it tracks the application across a kanban, fact-checks every AI number, drills you for the interview, and writes the salary script when the offer lands. Build in Rezi if you love its templates. Then run the search in ApplyArc.
An honest June 2026 look. Green = ApplyArc wins. Amber = Rezi wins. We don't claim to out-build a builder.

Rezi is a resume builder · you build an ATS-optimised CV from scratch with templates and AI bullet writing. ApplyArc is a job-search platform that lives around the resume: a kanban application tracker, 18 AI tools, interview prep, salary scripts, and an output-side fact-checker. Rezi has no application tracker; ApplyArc is not a from-scratch resume builder. They solve different halves of the job hunt.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Rezi builds resumes from a blank page with 100+ ATS templates · that's its core strength and it's genuinely good at it. ApplyArc optimises the resume you already have (rewrites bullets, scores ATS match, fact-checks numbers) and then handles everything after it: tracking, cover letters, follow-ups, interview prep. If you need to design a CV from scratch, use Rezi. If you need to run the whole job search, use ApplyArc.
No. Rezi has a job board for browsing roles, but no application tracker · no kanban, no stages, no pipeline. ApplyArc is built around a drag-and-drop kanban tracker across 6 stages so you never lose an application, plus a Chrome extension for quick dashboard access while browsing LinkedIn, Indeed and Glassdoor launching soon.
Rezi Pro is $29/month, with a $149 one-time lifetime option. ApplyArc is £19/month or £15/month billed annually (£180/year). On a monthly plan ApplyArc is cheaper, and it's priced in GBP so UK users pay no FX fees. Rezi's $149 lifetime is the better deal if you only ever need a resume builder · but it doesn't include a tracker, interview prep, salary coaching, or follow-up emails.
No. Rezi's AI writer drafts bullets and cover letters but ships whatever the model generates, including invented metrics. ApplyArc's metricVerifier extracts every numeric token from AI output and silently retries if a number isn't in your real resume · so the AI can't fabricate a '40% increase' you never achieved.
Both are strong. Rezi's ATS engine is one of the best for building a keyword-targeted resume from scratch. ApplyArc's free ATS resume checker scores your existing CV against a specific job, flags missing keywords, and gives recruiter-voice fixes · no sign-up. If you're building, Rezi. If you're checking a finished CV, ApplyArc's checker is free and ungated.
You wouldn't switch · you'd add. Rezi builds the resume; ApplyArc runs the search around it. The three reasons people pick ApplyArc as their home base: (1) a real kanban tracker Rezi doesn't have, (2) 18 AI tools vs Rezi's handful (interview prep, mock interviews, salary scripts, follow-ups), and (3) £19/mo GBP pricing with fact-checked AI. Build in Rezi if you like its templates, then track and apply in ApplyArc.
Yes. Export your CV from Rezi as PDF or DOCX, then upload it to ApplyArc when you onboard. Our parser extracts your achievements into the unified resume context that powers all 18 AI tools · so the resume you built in Rezi feeds every tool in ApplyArc.
Free forever. 5 fact-checked AI generations every month, up to 100 tracked jobs. No card.
