Teal vs Huntr vs Jobscan 2026 · Tested & Compared

Q: What's the difference between Teal, Huntr and Jobscan?

They solve different problems and are often confused. Jobscan ($49.95/mo) is an ATS resume scanner · it tells you how well your CV matches a job description. Teal ($29/mo) is a job tracker plus the best resume builder on the market. Huntr ($40/mo) is a Kanban job tracker with the widest Chrome extension (50+ sites). None is a one-tool-does-everything app, and none is UK-hosted or charges in GBP.

Q: Which is best in 2026, Teal, Huntr or Jobscan?

It depends on the job you need done. Pick Jobscan if you only want a deep ATS match report. Pick Teal ($29/mo) for the best resume builder at the lowest price of the three. Pick Huntr ($40/mo) for the best Kanban UI and Chrome extension breadth. For UK job seekers who want all three jobs in one tool, ApplyArc (£19/mo, UK-hosted) is cheaper than every one of them and includes an ATS checker, tracker, CV builder and 18 AI tools.

Q: Is Jobscan a job tracker like Teal and Huntr?

No · this is the most common mix-up. Jobscan is an ATS optimisation tool: you paste your CV and a job description and it scores the keyword match. It does not give you a Kanban board to track applications. Teal and Huntr are trackers first. If you want tracking and ATS scoring together, you need either Teal/Huntr plus Jobscan (about $69-$89/mo combined) or one tool that does both · ApplyArc combines tracking and live ATS checking for £19/mo.

Q: What's the cheapest of Teal, Huntr and Jobscan?

Teal is the cheapest of the three at $29/month, then Huntr at $40, then Jobscan at $49.95. ApplyArc, at £19/month (≈ $24), is cheaper than all three and replaces the need to stack a tracker and a separate ATS scanner.

Q: Do I need all three of Teal, Huntr and Jobscan?

Most people who buy all three are paying roughly $118/month to cover tracking, resume building and ATS scoring across three dashboards. That is the gap ApplyArc was built for: a Kanban tracker, a CV builder with a live ATS checker, AI cover letters and interview prep in one £19/mo plan, so you do not have to stitch three US tools together.

Q: Is there a UK alternative to Teal, Huntr and Jobscan?

Yes · ApplyArc is UK-built and UK-hosted on Microsoft Azure (ICO registered). At £19/month it is cheaper than all three, charges in GBP with no USD conversion fees, uses British spellings in the ATS checker, and adds NHS, Civil Service, Graduate Scheme, Big 4 and Amazon UK interview prep that none of the three offer.

Q: Which has the best ATS resume checker?

Jobscan has the deepest standalone ATS report and is the category leader for raw match scoring. Teal and Huntr include lighter keyword matching as a feature rather than a focus. ApplyArc's ATS checker is built into the CV builder so you see your score update live as you edit, in British English by default · useful for UK applications where US spellings can hurt your match.

Teal vs Huntr vs Jobscan (2026) Which Do You Actually Need?

Updated June 2026By ApplyArc TeamReviewed monthly

People compare these three as if they're the same · they're not. Jobscan scans your CV against an ATS, Teal builds resumes and tracks jobs, Huntr is a Kanban tracker with a huge Chrome extension. Here's which job each one does best · and the £19 UK tool that does all three.

The Short Answer· Updated May 2026

Don't buy all three. Jobscan scans, Teal builds, Huntr tracks · here's exactly which one you need, and the £19 UK tool that replaces the stack.

Teal, Huntr and Jobscan are frequently compared but solve different jobs. Jobscan ($49.95/month) is an ATS resume scanner that scores how well a CV matches a job description. Teal ($29/month) is a job application tracker with the best resume builder on the market. Huntr ($40/month) is a Kanban tracker with the widest Chrome extension, covering 50+ job sites. None is UK-hosted, none charges in GBP, and stacking all three costs about $118/month. ApplyArc (£19/month, UK-hosted on Microsoft Azure) combines a tracker, a CV builder with a live ATS checker, AI cover letters and interview prep in one plan · cheaper than any of the three individually.

No catch. No commitment. Cancel anytime.

How ApplyArc fact-checks AI

Three checks before the AI hits your CV.

Most tools ship the model's first draft. ApplyArc verifies the numbers, strips the AI tells, and pulls from one resume memory across every tool.

Numbers verified

Every AI output runs through metricVerifier. If a percentage or revenue figure isn't on your real CV, it gets caught and rewritten before you see it.

AI tells stripped

235+ patterns blocked · ‘spearheaded’, ‘leveraged’, em-dash tricolons. Recruiters spot AI in seconds. We rewrite the giveaways before they ship.

One resume memory

18 AI tools share one context. Cover letter, interview prep, salary script · every output draws from the same canonical achievements. Same voice, every time.
