Teal vs Huntr (2026) Which is Better?

By Adrian GeorgeReviewed 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, has a strong resume builder, and includes InterviewAI with two free practice scenarios. Huntr is more expensive at $40/month but has a more polished Kanban UI, broader Chrome extension coverage, and basic interview prep notes. 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, Microsoft Azure) is about 17% cheaper than Teal and about 40% cheaper than Huntr while including NHS, Civil Service, Graduate Scheme, Big 4 and Amazon UK interview prep modules.

No catch. No commitment. Cancel anytime.

Quick Verdict

Pick Teal if you want the best resume builder and the lower price ($29/mo).

Pick Huntr if you want the strongest Kanban UI and broad Chrome extension coverage (50+ sites). And don't mind paying $40/mo.

Pick ApplyArc if you are UK-based, want GBP pricing (£19/mo), 18 AI tools, and interview prep for NHS, Civil Service, Big 4 and graduate schemes, for less than Teal.

Both 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 Chrome extension coverage, pick Huntr ($40/mo). For UK job seekers specifically, neither has UK-specific features. ApplyArc (£19/mo) is typically the better fit because it is about 17% cheaper than Teal and about 40% 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, runs on Microsoft Azure, and charges in GBP. At £19/month it is cheaper than both Teal and Huntr, 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.

Teal's free tier includes unlimited job tracking and unlimited resume creation with a few one-off AI starter credits; Huntr's free tier allows 1 board and up to 100 jobs. ApplyArc's free tier gives you 100 tracked jobs, the full Kanban board, and 5 AI generations that renew every 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 a Chrome extension waitlist in a single £19/mo plan.

How ApplyArc checks different AI outputs

ApplyArc uses different checks for different output formats. No validator replaces your final factual review.

Tool-specific number checks

Selected tools compare generated figures with the evidence supplied to that tool. Depending on the output format, a failure can trigger a retry, cleanup, withheld output, or telemetry.

Deterministic rewrite guards

Bullet rewrite paths check repeatable wording patterns, weakened evidence, expanded scope, invented leadership, and unsupported metrics. They cannot prove authorship.

Shared resume context

Tools that need resume evidence can draw from the same stored profile. Missing or incomplete source material still needs your review before anything is sent.
