LazyApply alternatives in 2026: five tools, ranked by what they submit
We make Apiva. Read this knowing that.
Nothing below is copied from another list of LazyApply alternatives. Every price and every review figure comes from the vendor's own page or from Trustpilot, read on 3 November 2026. Two of these tools publish a price only as a daily rate, and we have left those as daily rates, because multiplying a day rate by thirty is where this category gets most of its wrong numbers. Click through before you pay anyone.
The 10-second version
LazyApply is what you are leaving. A Chrome extension that applies in bulk, sold only by the year.
Teal is not a bot. A résumé builder, a tracker and forty job boards, free.
Simplify gives autofill away and sells submission.
JobCopilot applies from its own servers and quotes its price by the day.
LoopCV runs campaigns and emails recruiters. Its free plan never expires.
Scale.jobs sells a person: $399 for 500 applications, every one sent by a human assistant.
Apiva: you approve each job, our AI fills and submits it, and a credit is spent only once the submission is confirmed. 25 applications a month are free.
Need the widest net at the lowest cost per attempt, and can you pay for a year up front? LazyApply.
Want each application confirmed as received before it costs you anything? Us.
What counts as auto-apply here
Six products get sold under one name, and only some of them end with an employer holding your application.
Autofill types into a form you already opened. You press submit. The tool never learns whether the application landed, and a tracker row reading "applied" reads that way because you told it so.
Triggered submission is the step up. You pick the job, the software fills and sends, and nobody presses anything.
Then there is the unit on the price tag, which is where these products differ most and where most roundups of them say nothing. Some sell attempts: applications a day, matches a day, emails a day. Some sell a credit that is spent when a submission succeeds. An attempt is something the software did. A confirmation is something the employer received.
A fourth group sells a person. That is a different product with a different cost base, and it belongs in this list, because paying a human is one of the ways out of LazyApply.
Every entry below names one thing it does better than we do, including the ones we compete with hardest. Three of them beat us on price, one beats us on reviews, and one on the fact that a human reads the posting before anything is sent.
We sorted five tools the same way, by what the vendor's own price list says you are buying, in the best auto-apply tools roundup.
LazyApply
LazyApply is a Chrome extension, and its copy does not hide the volume. Their homepage says it will "automatically apply to all the jobs on platforms like Greenhouse, Dice, Indeed and Ziprecruiter", using something they call Job GPT, and that the agent "handles the entire application process" from a single click.
Every plan is annual. Basic is $99 a year for 15 applications a day and one résumé profile. Premium is $149 for 150 a day and five. Ultimate is $999 for 1,500 a day and twenty. Each price sits next to a higher struck-through one, and all three ask for a Gmail address.
Read the refund terms before you pay. The policy offers a 30-day window that runs from your first subscription and does not cover renewals, requires that you have applied to fewer than 100 jobs, and grants a refund only where the product "demonstrably fails to function as advertised". The operator is named there as PEVE VISIONS PRIVATE LIMITED, registered in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, India.
On 3 November 2026 Trustpilot rated it 2.1 out of 5 from 110 reviews, with 58% at one star against 37% at five. The profile is claimed, notes that the company "Hasn't replied to negative reviews", and shows 9 reviews in the last twelve months.
What you are buying is an attempt. Neither the pricing page nor the homepage describes a record that an application reached an employer, so you are buying volume and checking the results yourself.
Better than us: the price per attempt, by a wide margin. $999 for a year at up to 1,500 a day is not a figure we can approach, and if reach is the whole strategy, that is what the money buys.
We went through their record in more detail at LazyApply vs Apiva.
Teal
Teal is the one product here that is not trying to submit anything, and for plenty of people leaving LazyApply that is the point. It is a job search workspace: an AI résumé builder, an application tracker, an ATS checker, cover letter tools, and saved jobs from over forty job boards.
Their pricing page lists a free tier at $0 forever and Teal+ at $13 a week, $29 a month or $79 for three months, cancellable any time and with no card needed to try it. The homepage says the product is "Loved by our 4 million members".
Nothing on either page describes submitting an application on your behalf. What you get is a much faster way to be ready, and then you press submit yourself.
The review record is the best in this post. Trustpilot showed 4.2 out of 5 from 118 reviews on 3 November 2026, with 71% at five stars and 13% at one, claimed since June 2020 and most recently reviewed on 24 October 2026.
Better than us: the free tier and the reviews. Free includes a résumé builder and a tracker, where our free plan is 25 applications a month and no builder at all. And 118 reviews is 118 more than we have.
The head to head is at Teal vs Apiva.
Simplify
Simplify is the most established product on this page, and it sells two levels of a single idea.
Free, you get Copilot autofill, a résumé builder, a tracker and Gmail integration. Free fills. It does not send.
Simplify+ adds Autopilot, and Autopilot is a real submission. Their wording is that it "fills and submits after you choose the job and preparation options, without a review step".
Finding the price takes a detour, because simplify.jobs/pricing returns a 404 and the numbers live in a help centre article instead. They are $19.99 for one week, $39.99 for one month and $89.99 for three months, each renewing until cancelled, and the page is upfront that the amount is charged for the full period rather than as a daily payment.
The unit is the closest thing here to ours. Simplify+ includes 20 credits a week, one credit goes on a successfully submitted application including its document preparation, failed or cancelled runs do not use one, and unused credits do not roll over.
Trustpilot showed 2.8 out of 5 from 21 reviews on 3 November 2026, with 52% at one star and 38% at five, on an unclaimed profile reviewed most recently on 15 October 2026.
Better than us: the breadth of one subscription. Autofill, tracker, résumé builder and analytics for one price, on a free tier that stands on its own.
JobCopilot
JobCopilot applies from its own servers rather than from your browser, which makes it the closest product here to ours in shape. The footer of their pricing page reads: "Use AI to automatically apply to jobs and multiply your job interview requests."
That page has two tiers and both are quoted as a rate rather than a bill. Premium "starts from" 93 cents a day for one Copilot and up to 20 Job Matches Daily. Elite "starts from" $1.05 a day for three Copilots and up to 50 Job Matches Daily. Weekly, monthly and quarterly plans exist, and the page never states the amount charged in any of them, so we are not going to invent a monthly figure out of a daily one.
The unit is a job match. A match is not an application. Only one of those two words means an employer received something.
Trustpilot showed 1.8 out of 5 from 96 reviews on 3 November 2026, with 62% at one star and 22% at five. The profile is claimed, has replied to 90% of negative reviews, and was reviewed most recently on 1 November 2026.
Better than us: Elite includes credits for contacting hiring managers. We do not offer that at all, and for some searches it matters more than the application form does.
JobCopilot vs Apiva covers the rest.
LoopCV
LoopCV campaigns. You upload a CV, set your preferences, and it "automatically finds and applies to relevant jobs". It also sends follow-up emails and tracks results in the same place, and their FAQ says employers see a normal application without an automation label.
The free plan is the most generous starting point in this post. No card, no time limit, and "a limited number of automated applications per month". Paid plans "start from €9.99/month" and are named Pro and Premium without either being itemised on the pricing page. Refunds run to 7 days from purchase if you have used less than 10% of the plan's application quota.
Trustpilot showed 3.8 out of 5 from 132 reviews on 3 November 2026, with 64% at five stars and 20% at one, claimed since October 2020 and reviewed most recently on 22 October 2026. That is the strongest record of any auto-apply bot here.
Better than us: a free plan with no time limit, and email that reaches a human instead of a form. Ours does neither.
The longer comparison is at LoopCV vs Apiva.
Scale.jobs
Scale.jobs sells you a person. Their own description is that "humans apply to jobs on your behalf with Custom Resumes and Cover Letters in under 24 hours", and every price card on their pricing page lists "Submitted by a real person".
Prices are one-time, with no subscription. Standard is $399 for 500 applications at $0.80 each. Accelerator is $599 for 1,000 at $0.60 each. Ultimate is $999 for 1,500 at $0.40 each. Klarna is offered on all three. The refund line on the page is promotional rather than a policy term: it says 70% of their customers receive a refund because they landed a job before their credits ran out.
Our own earlier writing on Scale.jobs said their prices sat behind a call. That was true when we wrote it and it is not true now, which is why every number above comes from their pricing page as read on 3 November 2026.
Better than us: a human reads the posting and writes the application, which is a different product with a different cost base. At $0.40 an application on the top tier it is also hard to argue with on price.
Where Apiva fits
Apiva does the last step, and it charges for the confirmed ones.
Free is 25 applications a month with no card. Starter is $19 a month for up to 200, Pro is $39 for 600, and Scale is $99 for 1,500. Quarterly prices of $49, $79 and $239 are published and available when quarterly billing opens.
The unit is a confirmed submission. A credit is held when you add a job, spent only once the submission is confirmed, and returned when an attempt fails. That is a billing rule rather than a promise in the copy, which is why your balance visibly drops when you add a job and comes back when one does not land.
Nothing is sent that you did not approve. You approve from a feed or paste in a link, our AI fills the application and rewrites your résumé for that role, and when a form asks something only you can answer it stops and asks you instead of guessing.
Two limits, stated plainly. The coverage claim is any US job posting, and it holds because a person finishes the applications software should not guess at; the automated path on its own is narrower than that. And we are the newest and smallest thing on this page. There is no review record to show you. Every other tool here has one, and two of them are good.
Bottom line
Ranked by fit, not by who paid for the list.
Teal if you want the best free workspace and you will press submit yourself. Simplify if one subscription should cover autofill, tracking and a résumé builder, with submission as the paid step up. JobCopilot for applying from a server, browser closed. LoopCV if a free start matters and you would rather email a person than fill in a form. Scale.jobs for a human who writes it and sends it. Pay once, not monthly. LazyApply only if you are optimising cost per attempt, and you have read the refund terms.
If what you want is each application confirmed as received before it costs you anything, try Apiva on 25 free applications a month with no card, and read the plans on the pricing page.
One habit is worth keeping whoever you use. Pick five applications from last week, open the employer's own careers page, and sign in to your candidate account there. If four of the five are missing, you have learned something no vendor dashboard will tell you.
