Tsenta vs ApplyEze is a comparison between two tools that both find jobs, tailor a resume for each posting and fill in the application for you. The short answer: Tsenta costs less at $39 and $99, gives you 25 free applications and runs in its cloud while your laptop is closed. ApplyEze lists more at $19, gives you 50 free applications, and runs on your own computer in a browser you can watch. They also name different application systems, and they take different positions on how far a tailored resume should borrow from the posting.
We make ApplyEze, so this page is written by one side. To keep it useful anyway, every Tsenta fact links to Tsenta's own pages or its users, prices are dated, and where Tsenta is better we say so in the first sentence of the section rather than the last. Our longer, Tsenta-only write-up is the Tsenta review.
Who this comparison is for
It is for someone who has already decided to automate applications and is down to these two. If you are still deciding whether to automate at all, start with job search automation, which covers which parts of a search are worth handing to software.
One limit on the comparison: neither of us publishes a per-system completion rate for a self-serve account, and ApplyEze has no public reviews or ratings yet. So this page compares what each product publishes and how it is built, not which one gets you more interviews. Nobody can show you that number honestly.

Price and allowance
Tsenta is cheaper at $39 and $99, and by a lot at $39. As of 9 November 2026 its Pro plan is $39 a month for 1,500 applications per 30-day cycle, and ApplyEze has no plan at that price: nothing sits between Starter at $19 and Pro at $99. At $99, Tsenta Power gives 4,500 against ApplyEze Pro's 3,000. ApplyEze wins only at $19, with 700 against Tsenta Starter's 600. Divide price by allowance and you get:
- Tsenta Starter: $19 / 600 = $0.0317 an application
- Tsenta Pro: $39 / 1,500 = $0.026
- Tsenta Power: $99 / 4,500 = $0.022
- ApplyEze Starter: $19 / 700 = $0.027
- ApplyEze Pro: $99 / 3,000 = $0.033
Tsenta's annual plans go lower still: Power annual is $799 for 54,000 applications, $0.0148 each. ApplyEze has no annual plan.
The free start goes the other way. ApplyEze gives new accounts 50 free credits, once per email address, with no card, which is twice Tsenta's 25, also once and also with no card. Charging is a tie. Tsenta's pricing page says "Only a successful submission consumes allowance": skipped matches, unapproved drafts and failures on the employer's side are refunded to your cycle. ApplyEze's rule is "A credit is used only when an application is confirmed as Submitted." Unused Tsenta allowance does not roll over into the next cycle, and unused ApplyEze plan credits end with the month.
Above 700 applications a month, the case for paying more is what the $99 covers rather than the unit price: the application running on your own machine where you can see it, a dry run, and duplicate detection with a posting lock built to stop you applying to the same job twice. Whether that is worth $60 a month more than Tsenta Pro is your call. The wider math across the category is in AI auto-apply cost per application.
Where each one runs
This is the real design difference, and each choice has a cost.
Tsenta runs in the cloud. Its Chrome Web Store listing says "Tsenta handles the application process in the cloud", and its own blog says version 3 "is a cloud applier" after a desktop version 2 that opened a local browser window per application was dropped. Its YC profile still says "on-device automation", which looks out of date. The benefit is obvious: applications keep going while you sleep, and you can manage it from your phone. The cost is that the browser filling your form runs on Tsenta's servers. Its homepage says of the apply step, "You watch it happen, or you don't", so there is a view, but it is a window onto a remote run rather than a browser on your own machine.
ApplyEze runs on your computer. It is a desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows that updates itself. Each application runs in its own browser window on your screen, visible by default, up to 10 at a time, three by default. You can watch any field get filled. A Background mode exists and is off by default. The cost is just as real: your machine has to stay on and awake with the app open, and you cannot run it from a phone.
If you want something that runs without you, Tsenta's model fits better. If you want the browser doing the work to be one on your own screen, ours does.
Which ATS each names
Tsenta names more systems, including several ApplyEze does not complete. Its pricing page listed 19 on 17 October 2026. ApplyEze names 12. Here is how that list lines up:
| Named by both | Named only by Tsenta | Named only by ApplyEze |
|---|---|---|
| Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Rippling, BambooHR, Workable, JazzHR, Oracle, SmartRecruiters | iCIMS, Paylocity, ADP, Jobvite, BreezyHR, UltiPro, Dover, Gem, Zoho Recruit | Pinpoint, Recruitee |
If many of your target employers use iCIMS, Paylocity or ADP, ApplyEze will not apply to those jobs for you, and Tsenta says it will. On ApplyEze, Workday and Oracle also need a connected application inbox (Workday, for one, sends a verification email when an account is created).
Two caveats apply to both columns. Tsenta's count has moved: on 9 November 2026 it said "30+", and its AI disclosure page named 60 entries, including Taleo, SuccessFactors, Paycom and Dayforce, while its homepage says it "does not support every employer system or role". And any named list is a claim about support, not a success rate. The test that settles it for your search is cheap on either product: run a few real postings from the systems your employers use and look at what was filled in.
Tailoring, and what each locks
Here the two products describe themselves very differently, and ours is the one that goes further.
Tsenta's line on its pricing page is that "applications use only true facts from the résumé you uploaded", and that every change is shown to you before anything goes out. Its homepage also says you can "review and edit it before submission or choose more automated behavior in your settings". In practice, a user in r/Tsenta in May 2026 described the default setting, which they called the honest option rather than the aggressive one, as adding phrases from the job description into their existing bullets, often in ways that did not read well, and stretching a one page resume to two. Tsenta's CEO replied that other users had reported the same and the team was testing improvements.
ApplyEze leans into the posting. A resume is built for the posting in front of it. Your employers, job titles, dates, schools, degrees and certifications come from your own record, and code rejects a rewrite that adds a figure, employer, school or credential your record does not hold. 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, including ones your source resume does not list. 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. Each resume is produced as a PDF and a DOCX and read back by a parser check before it is uploaded, and a cover letter is written when the form asks.
So the honest contrast is this. Tsenta tells you its default sticks to facts from your resume, and it offers modes named Off, Honest and Aggressive. ApplyEze tells you it will add the posting's skills and tools to your skills line, and takes your employers, titles, dates, schools, degrees and certifications from your own record. Read the tailored resume before you rely on it, and be ready to talk about any skill on the page for five minutes in an interview. If you want a stated mode that rewrites less, that is a point for Tsenta.
Review before submit versus dry run
Tsenta's approach is a stop before the final click. Its changelog entry for 1 July 2026 says "Tsenta pauses right before the final submit and shows you everything it filled in: your answers, the tailored resume, and the cover letter", that you can fix answers inline, and that it covers "Greenhouse, Workday, Ashby, Lever, Oracle, and SmartRecruiters, with more on the way". Auto-approve remains for hands-free use. That is a per-application approval step, and ApplyEze does not have one.
ApplyEze's approach is a dry run plus a visible browser. Dry run fills the whole form on a real posting and stops before Submit, so you can see what would have gone out, and it uses no credit as long as you have one left. With the browser visible, you can also watch live runs field by field, and you can cancel a single lane. What you cannot do is approve a live application: runs end rather than pause, and there is no approval step before Submit.
Which is better depends on how you want to work. Tsenta's review fits someone who wants to approve each application, including from a phone. A dry run fits someone who wants to check how the tool handles a given employer's form, then let it run.
Either way, the answers that matter most are the knockout questions: relocation, work authorization and sponsorship. A wrong "no" to relocation was the first complaint in a September r/Tsenta thread, and it is the kind of mistake that rejects you on the spot on any tool. On ApplyEze, hard facts come from your profile. When a required question is not covered by your saved answers, ApplyEze still fills it rather than stopping the run, so that answer may not come from you. Fill in your saved answers, use dry run first, and read your receipts. Check those knockout answers first, whichever product you use.
Who should pick which
Pick Tsenta if you send more than 700 applications a month and price is the deciding factor, your employers use iCIMS, Paylocity, ADP or the other systems only Tsenta names, you want applications running while your computer is off, you want employer replies picked up for you, or you want to approve each one from your phone.
Pick ApplyEze if you want the larger free start or the larger allowance at $19, you want the work done on your own machine where you can watch it, you want to dry-run real postings before anything is submitted, your targets sit on the 12 platforms it names (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Oracle Recruiting Cloud, JazzHR, BambooHR, Rippling, Pinpoint and Recruitee), and you want a tailored resume that brings in the posting's named skills, with your employers, titles, dates, schools and degrees taken from your own record.
Either way, spend the first week reading what was sent. Store ratings and vendor claims tell you little about how a tool handles your profile on your target employers' forms. The first twenty applications will.
