Before you put a card in
- Refunds are restrictive: Jobscan's terms only commit to refunds in limited cases, so an unused month is usually money gone. Cancel before renewal, not after.
- The quarterly plan auto-renews at $89.95 · easy to forget after a 3-month job search ends.
- Pricing is in USD. UK card issuers add a foreign-transaction fee (~2-3%) on top.
- The free tier's 5 scans burn fast when you're tailoring per application · that's the squeeze that pushes you to $49.95.
