A Simplify alternative that stays in your browser
Simplify’s Copilot extension is built around autofill: it fills application forms on a very large number of career sites and logs what you applied to. JobAssay is built around the decision before that — whether a role is worth applying to — and keeps everything in your browser without an account.
JobAssay vs Simplify
| Simplify | JobAssay | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Autofill, application tracking and basic resume keyword matching, without caps | 25 jobs on the board |
| Paid plan | Simplify+, priced inside the app after sign-up | $6/month or $39/year |
| Account | Required | None — install and go |
| Where your data lives | Simplify’s servers | In your browser; nothing on our servers unless you turn on Pro sync |
| Resume vs. posting | Match score and keyword suggestions | Fit Score: skills, experience, domain and must-haves, each quoting the posting (3 free, 150/month on Pro) |
| Application autofill | Yes — its core feature | No |
| Explains each gap with the posting’s words | Keyword-level | Yes — each requirement you miss, quoted, and whether rewording would fix it |

Pick Simplify if
- You apply to a high volume of roles and autofill would save you hours.
- You want everything free with no cap on jobs.
Pick JobAssay if
- You apply selectively and want to know which roles are worth the effort.
- You want to see which requirements you miss, in the posting’s own words — and which are only a wording problem.
- You would rather not create an account or keep your search on someone else’s server.
Questions
Can I use JobAssay and Simplify together?
Yes. They do different jobs — Simplify fills in forms, JobAssay tracks the search and checks your fit — and they do not conflict.
Does JobAssay autofill applications?
No. It saves the posting, tracks it, and scores your resume against it.
