No trial period. No feature lockout after 14 days. The free tier is free forever. Your Kanban board, Chrome extension, notes, reminders, and analytics stay yours permanently. The only limit is AI generations: you get 10 per month, which resets on the first of each month. That is enough for 2-3 serious applications with custom cover letters and interview prep. If you need more, Premium unlocks unlimited AI at £19 per month. But most free users find 10 is plenty to start.

Most free trackers just store data. ApplyArc's AI Career Coach actually reads your pipeline and tells you what to do next.
The Coach tracks response windows and flags stale applications. You don't need a separate reminder app.
Spreadsheets don't give you this insight. The Coach spots patterns in your data and suggests adjustments.
Got an interview scheduled? The Coach notices and offers to run a mock interview tailored to that specific role.
Progress tracking that actually motivates. The Coach recognises effort and keeps you moving forward.
We built ApplyArc because we saw the same problems everywhere. Here's what usually goes wrong, and how we designed around it.
Setup takes too long
ApplyArc is ready in 30 seconds. Sign in, start adding jobs. No template configuration needed.
Spreadsheets get messy after 20 entries
Kanban columns keep things visual. Drag jobs between stages. Filter by date, company, or status.
No follow-up reminders
Built-in reminders flag stale applications. The Coach also nudges you when follow-ups are overdue.
Tracking without action
The AI Career Coach turns tracking into doing. It reads your pipeline and tells you what matters today.
Generic tools need customisation
Trello and Notion need hours of setup to work as job trackers. ApplyArc has job-specific fields out of the box.
New to ApplyArc? Follow this plan for your first week and you'll have a working system.
Total time: about 85 minutes across a week. After that, daily upkeep takes 5 minutes.
Spreadsheets work fine for 5 applications. After that, the cracks show fast. Here are the warning signs that you need a proper tracking tool instead.
You forgot to follow up on 3 applications this week
ApplyArc flags stale applications automatically. The Coach nudges you before it is too late.
You applied to the same company twice
Duplicate detection and company search stop embarrassing double-applications.
You can not remember which version of your CV you sent where
Notes and document storage per job. Attach the exact resume you used for each role.
Your 'Applied' column has 40 rows and no next steps
Kanban columns force you to categorise. Saved, Applied, Interview, Offer, Rejected. Visual clarity beats a growing list.
You spend 20 minutes updating the tracker instead of applying
Adding a job takes 10 seconds. Dragging between columns takes 1 second. The tool should save time, not cost it.
You do not need Premium to run an effective job search. Here is a realistic weekly routine on the free tier.
Total weekly time: about 2-3 hours. That is 10x less than managing a spreadsheet manually.
We would rather set expectations than overpromise. Here is what free does not cover.
10 generations per month is enough for 2-3 quality applications. Power users who apply to 10+ roles per week will hit the cap. That is when Premium makes sense.
We do not mass-apply on your behalf. Every application should be intentional. The Coach helps you pick the right ones, not spray and pray.
Tracking applications is one part of a job search. Referrals, cold outreach, and informational interviews still matter. ApplyArc organises the process. It does not replace the work.
Our AI tools help optimise your resume, but 10 generations means limited iterations. If you are starting from scratch, you might want Premium for unlimited rewrites.
