The big builders charge you every four weeks and lock the download behind the paywall. A tailored resume costs us about four cents to make. So here is the honest version.

Prices are the competitors' own published rates as of 2026. The honesty layer and the persistent profile are the two nobody else does.
That is one AI call on a good model, with your profile cached so it is nearly free to reuse. On a faster model it is closer to two cents.
The AI is not here to invent things. It is here to curate and compress what is already true about you.
Most of us are rubbish at putting our own best foot forward, or even knowing which version of ourselves a given job wants to see. This just finds the right configuration of your real experience, so you can stop agonising over wording and go focus on the interview and the things that actually matter.
So on price: we do not charge at cost. A resume that lands the interview is worth a lot more than a pound. We charge a pound because it is fair and basically nothing to you, and the maths above is simply proof we are not the ones gouging. The twenty-five-a-month lot pay the same pennies. They just do not say so.
