When Teal is the Better Choice

Teal genuinely does some things better. We'd rather be honest about it than pretend otherwise.

Resume Builders

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.

Application Autofill Users

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.

Heavy Job Clippers

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 →
