A Teal alternative for tailoring one resume to one job.
If all you need is a resume that fits the job in front of you, a full job-search hub can feel like a lot of tool for one task. CVMagnet is a Teal alternative built for that single task: a resume tailored to one job description at a time.
A Teal alternative that does one thing: tailor the resume
Teal is a broad job-search hub. Teal's own listing describes a place to save jobs, contacts, companies and resumes, search several job boards at once, manage multiple versions of your resume, and track application status with follow-up reminders.
CVMagnet goes the other way and doesn't try to be your whole job search. If your real problem is a resume that doesn't speak to the posting in front of you, narrow is the point.
Every change is shown, so you can check it
CVMagnet takes one pasted job description and your resume, then rewrites the resume for that role. It shows the keywords found and missing, so you can see what the posting asks for that your resume doesn't say yet.
It also lists every change it made, so you check the rewrite instead of trusting it blindly.
Your employers, titles and dates stay as you wrote them
Your employers, titles and dates are copied from your original resume and checked by code, so a rewrite can't touch them. If that certainty is what you're after, it's the reason to choose CVMagnet.
Start free, with no credit card
The free plan includes 3 tailored resumes a month — each with the keyword match and a full rewrite — and needs no credit card. Test it on a real job posting before you decide anything.
Where the two tools differ, row by row
Teal covers more of the search. CVMagnet covers the resume, and checks it.
| Teal | CVMagnet | |
|---|---|---|
| Browser extension for saving jobs | Yes | No — you paste the job description |
| Search job boards | Yes | No |
| Track applications | Status and follow-up reminders | Status per application — saved, applied, interviewing, offer, rejected, ghosted. No reminders. |
| Multiple resume versions | Yes | A tailored version for every job, plus a library of uploaded resumes |
| Facts checked against your original | Not described in the listing checked | Yes — employers, titles, dates and credentials, by code |
When Teal may suit you better
Be honest about what you need. Teal may be the better fit if:
- You want to save jobs from job boards with a browser extension.
- You want contacts, companies and follow-up reminders in the same tool.
Frequently asked.
Is CVMagnet a TealHQ alternative for tailoring resumes?
Yes, if the part of TealHQ you want is the resume work. CVMagnet suits people who already know which job they're applying for and want the resume rewritten for it. It covers that one step of a job search and leaves the rest to other tools.
Does CVMagnet do everything Teal does?
No. Teal's listing describes saving jobs from job boards, contacts and follow-up reminders; CVMagnet has none of those. Its application tracking is a status per job, without reminders. What it does is the resume tailoring, with every change shown and your facts checked by code.
How much is CVMagnet Pro, and what does it add?
Pro is $24.99/month. On top of tailored resumes, it adds cover letters, interview prep and a much higher monthly limit than the free plan. It suits you once you're applying to enough roles that the free limit gets in your way.
