Teal is a solid product. No one disputes that. But it was built for the US market, and UK job seekers run into friction that American users never notice.
Teal's reviewed public response did not expose a current list price. Check its official pricing page and checkout for the billing currency, taxes, and any card fees. ApplyArc publishes its plans in GBP.
Teal's CV builder defaults to single-page US resume format. UK hiring managers expect 2-page CVs with personal statements. You end up fighting the templates instead of writing content. ApplyArc's CV Optimiser works with your existing format.
Teal's Chrome extension covers LinkedIn and Indeed. With ApplyArc you can add any UK board (Reed, Totaljobs, or CV-Library) manually today. The Chrome extension waitlist is open for faster browser access.
Teal's AI centres on CV tailoring and cover letters, with InterviewAI for practice scenarios. No salary negotiation scripts, no follow-up emails, no company research. ApplyArc's 18 AI tools cover the full job search from application to offer acceptance.
This isn't a hit piece on Teal. If CV building is your only need, Teal is genuinely good at that. But most UK job seekers need more.
ApplyArc's AI Career Coach isn't a chatbot. It reads your full job pipeline and gives you specific, actionable advice based on what's actually happening in your search.
The Coach sees all your applications at once. If you've applied to 30 marketing roles and gotten 0 interviews, it tells you your CV positioning is off. Not a generic tip. A specific diagnosis.
Applied 5 days ago and heard nothing? The Coach drafts a follow-up email tuned to UK hiring norms. British recruiters expect different follow-up timing than American ones.
The Coach uses UK salary data to help you negotiate. No more guessing whether £45k is fair for a Product Manager in Manchester or whether you should push for £52k.
Tell the Coach what role you're interviewing for and it generates competency-based questions. UK employers love the STAR format. The Coach structures your answers around it.
Teal doesn't have a coach. It helps you format documents. The Coach helps you make better decisions about your entire job search strategy.
Pick: ApplyArc Free
You're applying to loads of roles and need AI help with cover letters and interview prep. The free plan gives you 100 jobs and 5 AI generations per month. That's enough for most graduates. The Coach helps you identify which roles actually match your transferable skills.
Pick: ApplyArc Pro (£19/mo)
You're juggling 5-10 active applications of higher complexity. You need unlimited AI for tailored cover letters, salary negotiation scripts, and interview prep for each role. Fair-use guardrails apply. The Coach spots when you're spending too much time on low-probability applications.
Pick: ApplyArc Pro + LinkedIn
At senior level, most roles come through headhunters and LinkedIn. You need fewer but more targeted applications. The AI helps with executive-level cover letters and negotiation strategy. The Chrome extension waitlist is open for quick dashboard access while you browse.
Go to Teal's dashboard, click the export button, and download your applications as CSV. This takes 30 seconds.
Create a free account at applyarc.com. No credit card required. You get 100 jobs and 5 AI generations immediately.
ApplyArc doesn't import CSVs, so hold on to the Teal export for your records. It preserves company names, roles, dates, and application stages from your old search.
Add any job from Reed, Totaljobs, CV-Library, LinkedIn, or Indeed UK manually. The Chrome extension waitlist is open for quick dashboard access.
Open any application and ask the Coach for advice. It analyses your pipeline and gives you a specific action. Most users say this is when they realise the difference.
Choose Teal when its resume builder, job tracker, contacts, tasks, and outreach templates match the workflow you want. Choose ApplyArc when you want GBP billing, a 100-job Free board, and 18 AI tools across applications, interviews, follow-ups, and offers. Check Teal's official pricing page before comparing cost.
Teal is a web product that UK job seekers can use. Check the official pricing page and checkout for the current price, billing currency, and any local taxes or card fees. ApplyArc bills its published plans in GBP.
Switch only when another workflow fits better. Teal documents resume building, job tracking, contacts, tasks, keywords, and outreach templates. ApplyArc publishes GBP pricing and connects its board to 18 AI tools. Export your Teal history first, then compare current official plan pages and move only active applications.
Partly. Export your job data from Teal as CSV so you keep your history; ApplyArc doesn't have a CSV importer, so add your active applications manually. You only need to rebuild your live pipeline.
Teal documents a template-based resume builder with job matching. ApplyArc instead optimises an existing CV against a job description and includes a free ATS check. Choose the model that matches whether you need document creation or role-specific revision.
ApplyArc's Free plan offers up to 100 jobs, a Kanban board, and 5 AI generations per month. Notion and Google Sheets also have free options with different setup and automation trade-offs. Check Teal's official plan page for its current Free allowance.
ApplyArc lets you keep sponsorship details in the job notes. Check each alternative's current custom-field, tag, and filtering documentation before choosing a tracker for sponsorship status.
Yes. Add jobs from LinkedIn, Reed, Totaljobs, CV-Library, Indeed UK, or any other board manually. Every application goes to one Kanban board, no switching between tabs or spreadsheets. The Chrome extension waitlist is open for quick dashboard access.
Choose based on the work you need to do. Teal documents resume building and job matching. ApplyArc adds a skills matcher, role-specific cover letters, interview prep, and a connected application board. Test both workflows with one real target role before paying.
18 AI tools, GBP pricing, UK job board support. Rebuild your active pipeline in minutes. Free plan includes up to 100 jobs.
