By ApplyArc TeamReviewed monthly

Teal ($29/month) and Huntr ($40/month) are the two most popular job-tracker Kanban apps in 2026. We ran both through 40+ real applications to see which actually wins · and whether a cheaper UK-built alternative beats them both.

The Short Answer· Updated May 2026

Tired of paying $29 or $40 every month just to track job applications? Here's an honest breakdown of Teal vs Huntr · plus the £19 UK alternative that beats them both on price.

Teal and Huntr are both Kanban-based job application trackers. Teal is cheaper at $29/month and has the best resume builder on the market. Huntr is more expensive at $40/month but has a more polished Kanban UI, wider Chrome extension coverage (50+ job sites vs Teal's LinkedIn-focus), and basic interview prep notes. Neither is UK-hosted, neither charges in GBP, and neither has UK-specific features like NHS or Civil Service interview prep. For UK job seekers specifically, ApplyArc (£19/month, UK-hosted on Microsoft Azure) is 34% cheaper than Teal and 52% cheaper than Huntr while including NHS, Civil Service, Graduate Scheme, Big 4 and Amazon UK interview prep modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teal is cheaper ($29 vs $40), has the best resume builder on the market, and is structured around job application tracking. Huntr is more expensive but has a more polished Kanban UI, a Chrome extension that covers 50+ job sites (Teal covers fewer), and lightweight interview prep notes. Both are US-hosted, charge in USD, and neither has UK-specific features like NHS or Civil Service interview prep.

If you care most about resume building and lower price, pick Teal ($29/mo). If you care most about visual Kanban polish and the widest Chrome extension coverage, pick Huntr ($40/mo). For UK job seekers specifically, neither has UK-specific features · ApplyArc (£19/mo, UK-hosted) is typically the better fit because it is 34% cheaper than Teal and 52% cheaper than Huntr, and includes NHS, Civil Service and Graduate Scheme interview prep.

Yes. Teal Pro is $29/month and Huntr Pro is $40/month · Teal is roughly 28% cheaper. Both have limited free tiers. ApplyArc, at £19/month, is cheaper than both Teal ($29) and Huntr ($40) when converted to USD.

Both have mature extensions. Huntr's extension covers 50+ job boards (including less common ones like Wellfound, Otta, and Welcome to the Jungle). Teal's extension is optimised for LinkedIn and Indeed primarily. For pure breadth, Huntr wins. For LinkedIn-heavy job seekers, Teal is easier.

Yes · ApplyArc is UK-built and UK-hosted on Microsoft Azure (ICO registered). At £19/month it is cheaper than both Teal and Huntr, charges in GBP (no USD conversion surprises), uses British spellings in the ATS checker, and includes dedicated NHS, Civil Service, Graduate Scheme, Big 4, and Amazon UK interview prep modules that neither Teal nor Huntr offer.

Both free plans are quite limited · Teal's free tier allows 1 resume and no AI generation; Huntr's free tier allows 1 board and limits job count. ApplyArc's free tier is more generous · 100 tracked jobs, the full Kanban board, and 5 AI generations per month, with no credit card required.

Teal's AI is focused on resume and cover letter writing, driven by a polished editor. Huntr's AI is broader · cover letters, match scoring, and resume analysis. Both cap AI usage by credits on paid plans. ApplyArc includes 18 AI tools (cover letter, resume optimiser, interview prep, salary negotiation, outreach, company research) at £19/month with more generous usage limits.

Technically yes, but you'll be paying $69/month combined and duplicating work across two Kanban boards. Most serious users pick one primary tracker. If you love Teal's resume builder but need Huntr's wider Chrome coverage, consider ApplyArc · it has a Kanban tracker, CV builder with live ATS checking, and Chrome extension (launching soon) in a single £19/mo plan.
