Teal alternatives, organised by what you are actually missing

People leave Teal for three different reasons, and the right replacement is different for each. Working out which one you are is most of the decision.

Teal bundles a job tracker with a Chrome extension that bookmarks postings from other boards, a résumé builder, and job matching that gives a match score when you attach a job description. Teal+ is listed at $13 every 7 days, $29 every 30 days, or $79 every 90 days (read from tealhq.com on 2026-09-20).

Disclosure: SchoolWhool is one of the alternatives listed here. It is not the answer for most of the reasons below, and this page says so.

First: why are you leaving?

"It costs more than it is worth to me right now." You want a cheaper or free tier that covers the one feature you use. Skip to If you mainly used the tracker.

"I still have to find the jobs myself." Teal's extension bookmarks postings you have already found elsewhere. You want discovery, which is a different product. Skip to If discovery is the gap.

"The résumé output is not good enough." You want building or tailoring specifically. Skip to If you mainly used the builder.

"The match score is not telling me anything." Reasonable. No third-party tool reads an employer's applicant tracking system, so every match score is the vendor's own model of relevance. A different tool will give you a different number with the same limitation. Consider whether you want a diagnostic at all.

If you mainly used the tracker

Huntr. Its free plan covers up to 100 tracked jobs and 100 document uploads, plus 2 job-tailored résumés and 2 application packets; Pro is listed at $40/month, $30/month billed quarterly, or $26.66/month billed biannually (read from huntr.co on 2026-09-20). If tracking was the whole value, the free tier may end the problem.

Careerflow. Tracking plus LinkedIn optimisation and AI assistance. Its plan structure moves; read careerflow.ai directly rather than a third-party list.

A spreadsheet. Genuinely. If you track fewer than thirty applications and you never look at the analytics, a sheet with company, role, date, link and résumé version does the job for nothing. The thing a spreadsheet loses is the link between an application and the exact materials you sent — if you need that, buy a tracker.

If discovery is the gap

This is the reason a tracker alternative will not fix. Teal is organised around jobs you bring to it.

SchoolWhool. Its catalogue is crawled from 285 companies' own career boards through each provider's public API, not from an aggregator, so every role links out to the employer's own posting and a role the board stops returning is marked closed rather than left in the feed. Browsing it is free with no account at /jobs. SchoolWhool Pro adds a feed of the whole catalogue ranked against your skills and title, saved jobs, an application tracker that moves each role through In review, Applied, Interview and Offer, and AI reviews. See pricing.

Be clear about what you would be giving up: SchoolWhool is not a template-heavy résumé builder and has no browser extension that bookmarks postings from other sites. If those were why you used Teal, this is a downgrade, not an alternative.

A general job board is the free version of this, with the cost that most of them reprint postings and you cannot tell how old anything is.

If you mainly used the builder

Rezi. Building is the centre of the product rather than an attachment to a tracker. Free covers 1 résumé, 1 AI interview and 3 PDF downloads; Pro is listed at $29/month, with a $149 lifetime option and a 30-day money-back guarantee (read from rezi.ai on 2026-09-20).

Jobscan. If what you wanted from the builder was ATS-shaped output and a diagnostic, this is the more direct purchase. It also carries a tracker, matched jobs and auto-apply. Pricing sits behind an account (jobscan.co).

If you wanted tailoring that does not invent things

This is worth separating out, because no comparison table shows it. The test: give the tool your real résumé and a posting asking for something you have never done, then read every suggested change against your original. Look for skills that appeared, numbers that appeared, and "contributed to" that became "led".

SchoolWhool's answer to this is mechanical rather than promised: every suggested edit must quote an exact, unique passage of your uploaded résumé or it is discarded, overlapping edits are dropped, and any replacement introducing a number absent from the passage it replaces is removed before you see it. Your original file is kept, you approve edits one at a time, and changing your profile invalidates a previous approval. What it cannot do is judge whether a true sentence is well-judged — read the diffs.

Run the same test on whatever you are considering. It takes ten minutes on a free tier.

What this page does not claim

We have not run every tool above through a shared résumé and posting and published the outputs. Plans, prices and free limits are what each vendor's own page said on 2026-09-20 and they change. Check the vendor's pricing page before you buy, and note that SchoolWhool's own price is shown on pricing rather than here, because it is read from the payment processor at the time you look.
