The auto apply cost per application is the number almost no vendor prints. Pricing pages quote a weekly, monthly or daily price, and the caps are written in different units, so two plans that look alike can differ by a factor of ten. We took 20 tools, read each one's own pricing page on 17 October 2026, updated the rows that had changed on 9 November 2026, and divided price by cap. The range runs from a theoretical $0.0018 to about $15 an application.
ApplyEze makes one of these tools, and it is in the tables below on the same terms as everyone else. The honest result is that it sits near the low end without being the lowest: at the full allowance, 2.7 cents an application on Starter and 3.3 cents on Pro. That is cheaper per application than human services, the credit-based copilots and FastApply, and dearer than JobCopilot Elite, LazyApply on paper, and Tsenta at $39 and $99. If price per application is all you are buying, one of those is a better deal.
Why price per application beats price per month
A monthly price tells you what leaves your account. It does not tell you what you get. Simplify+ at $39.99 a month caps automated submissions at 20 a week, while Wobo's Autopilot at $44.99 publishes no cap at all. LoopCV's $19.99 plan and Tsenta's $19 plan are a dollar apart, and one allows 100 applications or emails a month while the other allows 600 applications.
Dividing by the cap puts them on one scale. It also exposes the plans where the headline is a daily price ($0.93 a day sounds smaller than $28 a month) and the plans where the cap is so large nobody will reach it.
Method: cap, billing period, and what counts
Three rules, applied to every row.
- Price and cap come from the vendor's own page. Pricing pages, FAQs and help centers, seen 17 October 2026, linked in each section. A reread on 9 November 2026 changed the ApplyEze, FastApply, Scale.jobs and AIApply rows. Where a price is behind a login or only appears on a rival's blog, the row says so and no figure is computed.
- Billing periods are converted to the plan's own cap. A weekly cap is multiplied out to the billing period. Daily caps are taken at face value, so they are the most generous to the vendor.
- An "application" is whatever the vendor counts. Some count only successful submissions. One counts recruiter emails against the same quota. That changes what a cap is worth, so it gets its own section below.
Every figure is a floor. It assumes you use the whole allowance. Use a fifth of it and your real cost per application is five times higher.

Notes on the rows:
- Tsenta (pricing) also gives 25 free applications with no card. Its Pro plan gives 1,500 applications a month for $39, a price ApplyEze has no plan at, and Power gives 4,500 for $99 against ApplyEze Pro's 3,000. At $19, Tsenta Starter gives 600 against ApplyEze Starter's 700.
- ApplyEze (pricing) also gives new accounts 50 free credits, once per email address, with no card. A credit is used only when an application is confirmed as Submitted, and unused plan credits end with the month.
- JobCopilot (pricing) shows only "starts from" daily prices; the weekly, monthly and quarterly charges you actually pay are not public. Treat its figures as the floor of a floor.
- FastApply (pricing) also sells a one-payment 90-day plan at $38, $75, $132 and $240, and says only applications actually submitted use a credit. As of 9 November 2026, tailoring is a paid add-on on every plan, at $7 to $29 a month.
- Sorce (App Store) gives 40 swipes a day free, per its pricing article. Paid daily caps are not published, so only the credit packs can be priced.
- ApplyPass (pricing) converts a weekly cap: 100 a week times 4.33 weeks is about 433 a month. It focuses on software engineering roles in the US and Canada, and the cheaper plan sees older listings, up to 3 days old against fresher ones on Premium.
- AutoApplier has no public pricing page. The figures come from a table in its own blog post updated 27 January 2026, so they may be stale. Its LinkedIn Easy Apply bot is unlimited on every plan; the cap applies to its cloud agent.
- Massive's subscription prices load in a dynamic widget and are not public. The pack prices are listed in the code of its web app; whether they are top-ups on a subscription is not stated.
- AIApply's pages disagree. Its auto-apply page says "Each credit is one job application" and that credits never expire, while its help center described a separate subscription with plans of 100 to 2,000 applications on 9 November 2026. The price is not on any public page we could read.
- JobHire.ai's pricing page returned a 404, and its FAQ names Standard, Pro and Extended plans with no prices. Figures on rival blogs disagree with each other, so we left them out.
- Wobo (pricing) has a free plan of 5 jobs a day. "Unlimited" plans cannot be divided by anything.
Copilots that sell credits, and two with no public price
These keep you in the loop and meter the automated part.
| Tool | Plan and price | Cap | Math | Cost per application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LoopCV | $19.99, $59.99, $89.99 a month | 100, 300, 300 applications or emails | $19.99 / 100, $89.99 / 300 | $0.20, $0.20, $0.30 |
| Simplify Autopilot | $19.99 a week, $39.99 a month, $89.99 for 3 months | 20 a week | $39.99 / 86, $89.99 / 257 | $1.00, about $0.47, about $0.35 |
| Jobscan Auto Apply | Credit packs on top of Premium: $8.50 for 5, $15 for 10, $35 for 25 | 2 credits a month included | $35 / 25, $8.50 / 5 | $1.40 to $1.70 per credit |
| Jobscan, included credits only | $89.95 a quarter | 6 credits a quarter | $89.95 / 6 | about $14.99 |
| Jobright | No public job-seeker price page | Paid tier unlimited | n/a | Not computed |
| Sonara | No public price page | Not published | n/a | Not computed |
Simplify is the clearest case of a weekly cap: 20 Autopilot credits a week works out to about 86 over 30 days and about 257 over 90. Its free Copilot autofill has no limit at all (Copilot page), and for anyone happy to click Submit themselves, free beats every number in this post.
Jobscan is positioned against volume ("A few well-matched roles a day"), and its pricing reflects that. If you only use the 2 credits included each month with the quarterly plan (plans), each auto-applied job costs about $15.
LoopCV has the oddest unit: its caps count "applications or emails" together, so every recruiter email it sends uses up the same quota as an application.
Sonara publishes no price, but its terms say the subscription renews before you submit your 11th application or at the renewal date, whichever comes first, so the trial is effectively 10 applications.
Human application services
People are slower and dearer, and some forms need one. The reverse recruiter guide looks at these services in more depth.
| Service | Plan and price | Cap | Math | Cost per application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scale.jobs | $399, $599, $999 one time | 500, 1,000, 1,500 | $399 / 500, $599 / 1,000, $999 / 1,500 | $0.80, $0.60, $0.67 (its page prints $0.40 for the last) |
| Ladders Apply4Me | $49.97 a month, or $299.64 a year | 50 a month | $49.97 / 50, $299.64 / 600 | $1.00 to $0.50 |
| Careerify | $150, $280, $455, $720 a month | About 50, 100, 175, 300 (vendor estimate) | $150 / 50, $720 / 300 | $3.00 to $2.40 |
Scale.jobs charges once, with no subscription. As of 9 November 2026 a person matches each role, and every application includes a tailored resume and a personalized cover letter. Apply4Me comes with Ladders Premium (pricing) and lets you choose one of up to five resumes per job. Careerify sells recruiter hours at "1 recruiter hour ≈ 5 targeted, human-submitted applications" and says it does not rewrite your resume for each application.
Theoretical caps versus usable volume
A cap is what the vendor will let you do, not what you will get. Three gaps separate the two.
The cap is bigger than the market. LazyApply's $999 plan allows 1,500 applications a day, which is 547,500 a year. Its own homepage targets job boards such as LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Dice. Very few people have 1,500 suitable openings a day to apply to, so the $0.0018 figure is arithmetic, not a price anyone pays.
Failures may or may not count. Tsenta's pricing page says "Only a successful submission consumes allowance", and skipped or failed applications go back to your cycle. Simplify says a credit is only spent when an application is actually submitted, and FastApply's FAQ says the same. Where failures are charged, the real cost rises with the failure rate, and no vendor here publishes one.
Unused allowance usually expires. Tsenta's unused applications "do not roll over" and Simplify's credits "don't carry over". AIApply's credits and Careerify's paid hours never expire. Scale.jobs says leftover credits are refunded, and a founder reply on its site describes that refund as pro-rated, with a one-time $100 onboarding fee kept.
Here is what that means in practice. Send 300 applications in a month and ApplyEze Starter and Tsenta Starter tie at $19 / 300 = 6.3 cents each. Send 1,000, past what either $19 plan allows, and ApplyEze Pro costs $99 / 1,000 = 9.9 cents each while Tsenta Pro costs $39 / 1,000 = 3.9 cents. Usage moves the number more than the plan does, so price the volume you will actually send.
What the price leaves out
Tailoring tier. A low per-application price often means the resume is the one you uploaded. JobCopilot tailors on Elite only ("The resume used is the one you upload" otherwise). FastApply sells tailoring as an add-on on every plan. LazyApply reuses fixed resume profiles. If tailoring matters to you, compare tailored tiers with tailored tiers. The comparison of AI job application tools shows which tier does what.
Platform coverage. A cheap application on a tool that cannot complete your target employers' forms is not cheap. Tsenta says "30+" systems and lists 60 entries on its AI disclosure page. FastApply claims 10 in both of its modes and more in its extension. JobCopilot's FAQ says it does not create user accounts on company career pages. Several tools publish no list at all.
Refunds. These vary more than the prices.
| Tool | Refund terms, from the vendor's own pages |
|---|---|
| Tsenta | Unsuccessful submissions returned to your allowance; no money-back policy stated |
| LazyApply | 30 days, first purchase only, fewer than 100 jobs applied, product must fail as advertised |
| JobCopilot | Within 7 days, for a technical issue only |
| AIApply | Fees non-refundable; Auto-Apply not refundable after applications are submitted |
| Simplify | Non-refundable once access starts |
| Jobright | Full refund within 7 days (24 hours on weekly plans); not for lack of interviews |
| LoopCV | Within 7 days if under 10% of the quota is used |
| JobHire.ai | Non-refundable; account credit in limited cases |
| Careerify | Case by case, generally billing errors or no hours used within 7 days |

Cost per interview. This is the number people actually care about, and nobody can quote it for you. It is your cost per submitted application divided by your interview rate. For scale, Huntr's 2025 job search trends report, drawn from its own users' tracking, recorded 5.8% of tailored applications reaching an interview or offer, against 3.73% for untailored ones. That is observational data from one tracker's users, not a measurement of any tool here.
Where ApplyEze lands
ApplyEze lists two plans, month to month: Starter at $19 a month for 700 applications (2.7 cents each at the full allowance) and Pro at $99 a month for 3,000 (3.3 cents each). New accounts also get 50 free credits, once per email address, with no card. What the plans include and how credits are counted are set out in ApplyEze pricing explained.
On the per-application scale, that puts it below the human services ($0.50 to $3.00), the credit-based copilots (Simplify, Jobscan, LoopCV) and FastApply (4.5 to 7 cents, or 5.9 to 10.5 with tailoring). It is above LazyApply on paper, JobCopilot Elite at 2.1 cents a match, and Tsenta Power and Pro at 2.2 and 2.6 cents. Tsenta Starter, at 3.2 cents, sits between our two plans. We are not the lowest-cost option, and we would rather say so than have you find out from a spreadsheet.
What both plans include:
- Tailoring on every application. Each posting gets its own resume, as PDF and DOCX, read back by a parser check before upload, and a cover letter when the form asks. No higher tier or add-on is needed for it.
- 12 named platforms, completed end to end. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Oracle Recruiting Cloud, JazzHR, BambooHR, Rippling, Pinpoint and Recruitee. Workday and Oracle need a connected application inbox. A self-serve account does not apply on iCIMS, Taleo, SuccessFactors or LinkedIn Easy Apply.
- Your own machine, a browser you can watch. It is a desktop app for macOS and Windows. The browser is visible by default, and it runs up to 10 applications in parallel, each in its own window. Your computer has to stay on and awake with the app open until the queue finishes.
- A dry run. Dry-run mode fills the form and stops before Submit, so you can see what would be sent. It uses no credit as long as you have one left.
- Duplicate protection. Duplicate detection and a posting lock are built to prevent applying to the same posting twice.
On skills, be clear about what you are getting. Your employers, job titles, dates, schools, degrees and certifications come from your own record. In an audit on 4 November 2026 of 84 sampled resumes, we found 0 invented employers, dates, degrees or numbers. ApplyEze brings the posting's named skills and tools onto your skills line, even when your own record does not list them. There is no step to remove one before a live run, so use a dry run to see what it writes, and be ready to discuss anything on the page. A certification the posting asks for is not added unless you hold it.
Up to 700 applications a month, ApplyEze Starter lists more for $19 than Tsenta Starter does. Above that, our price is $99 where Tsenta's is $39. If those inclusions are worth that gap, ApplyEze is a fair price. If they are not, Tsenta will cost you less. The way the pieces fit together is in how job search automation works.
