A Teal alternative that stays in your browser

Teal pairs a generous free job tracker with a resume builder, and puts its AI writing and job-match scoring in Teal+, a subscription billed weekly, monthly or quarterly. JobAssay is the lighter option: no account, a board that stays in your browser, and a fit check included free three times and in a $6 Pro plan.
