Job application autofill
Simplify fills forms. ApplyArc gives you an AI Career Coach that sees your entire pipeline and tells you what to do next.
Same job seeker. Same 25 active applications. Different toolset.
9:00 AM
Open LinkedIn. Simplify autofills 8 applications in 20 minutes. Forms done. Fast.
9:30 AM
Move to Indeed. Another 5 applications autofilled. 13 apps submitted before 10am.
10:00 AM
You realise 4 of those needed cover letters. Too late now. Three companies from last week haven't replied. You forgot to follow up.
Afternoon
Interview tomorrow. You Google "common product manager questions" and hope for the best. No prep tool.
9:00 AM
Open ApplyArc. Coach says: "3 follow-ups overdue. Interview at Notion tomorrow. Response rate: 16% (up from 12%)."
9:15 AM
AI generates 3 personalised follow-up emails. One click each. Done in 5 minutes.
9:30 AM
Generate 2 tailored cover letters for roles that need them. AI matches your skills to each job description.
10:00 AM
Run mock interview for tomorrow's Notion meeting. AI asks questions from their actual job posting. You practise answers.
10:30 AM
Done. Coach handled prioritisation. You handled execution. Fewer apps, but each one is stronger.
Simplify is great for volume. ApplyArc is built for results.
We're being honest. Simplify does some things we don't, and they do them well.
One-click application on hundreds of job boards. If your goal is pure application speed, Simplify's autofill is best in class. We don't try to compete here.
Simplify surfaces curated job listings you might miss. Their feed pulls from multiple sources. ApplyArc doesn't have a built-in job feed; we focus on what happens after you find the job.
Simplify's extension works on hundreds of sites with deep integration. ApplyArc's extension saves jobs from 50+ sites but doesn't autofill forms.
But if you want AI that coaches you through the entire search (not just fills the first form), ApplyArc is the better fit. 17 AI tools, daily briefings, mock interviews, salary coaching, and rejection analysis. All included.
We built ApplyArc to solve a different problem. Here's when Simplify genuinely serves you better.
When time is everything, volume matters more than perfection. Simplify lets you submit 50+ applications a day. ApplyArc helps you write 5 great ones. If your deadline is brutal, go with Simplify first.
Many tech roles skip cover letters entirely. If you're applying to easy-apply roles on LinkedIn, Simplify's autofill handles the whole workflow. ApplyArc's AI tools matter more when the application asks for written materials.
If your only pain point is re-typing your address, work history, and education 50 times, Simplify solves that perfectly. ApplyArc doesn't autofill forms at all. Pick the tool that matches your actual problem.
The smartest move? Use both. Simplify for the easy-apply roles. ApplyArc for the ones that matter most.
If you're applying to 20+ jobs per day and want to maximize applications submitted, Simplify wins. Their autofill can submit applications 10x faster than manual entry.
Winner: Simplify
If you're targeting specific roles and want tailored cover letters, interview prep, and salary negotiation help, ApplyArc wins. 17 AI tools vs basic autofill.
Winner: ApplyArc
Many successful job seekers use both: Simplify for fast applications on easy-apply jobs, ApplyArc for strategic applications where quality matters.
Winner: Use Both Together
Simplify fills forms. ApplyArc's Coach fills in the gaps in your strategy. It watches your pipeline and surfaces what you should do next.
Coach reviews your tracked jobs every morning and tells you exactly which roles need attention: stale applications, upcoming interviews, and pending follow-ups.
Instead of guessing when to chase recruiters, Coach calculates the right day based on application date and last contact. No more awkward too-early or too-late emails.
When applications sit in the same stage too long, Coach flags them. You can follow up or move on instead of waiting silently.
Jobs that move to interview stage trigger automatic prep: company research, role-specific questions, and STAR-method answer suggestions.
Pure application speed. If you are applying to 30+ jobs per day and cover letters are not required, Simplify's autofill is genuinely faster. ApplyArc is built for quality-focused applications, not volume sprinting.
US portal compatibility. Simplify's autofill works across more US job portals than any competitor. If most of your applications go through Workday, Greenhouse, or Lever, Simplify has better form coverage.
Zero writing required. Some roles do not ask for cover letters or custom answers, just filled forms. Simplify handles those perfectly without you typing a single word.
10 free AI generations. No credit card required. Get your first daily briefing in 30 seconds and see what the Coach finds in your pipeline.
