We read each vendor's own pages on 2026-11-01 and sorted what we found into three kinds: **free and usable** (ChatGPT Free, Rezi Free, Kickresume Free), **free but missing the AI part** (Final Round AI, whose free plan has no practice interviews), and **only looks free** (Enhancv's 7-day plan, Google's job search course at $49 a month after a 7-day trial). ChatGPT Free is in our verified catalog and links its offer page. The other free plans are not in the catalog yet, so their rows link each vendor's page, and offer drafts for Rezi and Kickresume are ready for import. Teal, Jobscan and Resume Worded are left out: their pricing pages blocked or failed our automated read, and we state no limits we could not see. ## The options at a glance | Tool | What is free | The real limit | Kind | Checked | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ChatGPT Free](https://aifree.dev/offer/chatgpt-free) | Unlimited text chats; file upload, voice and deep research are limited | Limits for uploads, voice and research have no published numbers | Free and usable | 2026-10-31 | | [Rezi](https://rezi.ai/pricing) | Free plan with no payment: 1 resume, 1 AI interview, 3 PDF downloads, AI Resume Writer and Editor | Pro ($29 a month) adds unlimited resumes, interviews and downloads, Rezi Score and keyword targeting | Free and usable, small | 2026-11-01 | | [Kickresume](https://kickresume.com/en/pricing/) | Free $0 a month: 4 resume and 4 cover letter templates, unlimited downloads, 1,500+ examples | The AI writer and the ATS resume checker are Premium ($19 a month, or $4.50 a month paid yearly) | Free templates, no AI | 2026-11-01 | | [Final Round AI](https://www.finalroundai.com/pricing) | Free plan: goals, resume and materials, job description parsing and a prep checklist, desktop app | "There is no free trial": live Interview CoPilot needs Pro ($25+ a month); practice interviews are listed under Pro | Free, no practice | 2026-11-01 | | [Enhancv](https://enhancv.com/pricing/) | Free plan "valid for 7 days": all templates, Enhancv branding, up to 12 section items | After 7 days you need a paid plan | Trial | 2026-11-01 | | [Google: Accelerate Your Job Search with AI](https://grow.google/job-search-with-ai/) | Seven days of free trial | $49 a month in the U.S. and Canada after the trial; about 6 hours of content | Paid course | 2026-11-01 | Source: the vendor pages linked in each row, read 2026-11-01 (ChatGPT: our offer page, verified 2026-10-31). ## Resume: where AI helps and which free plan to use The cheapest working setup is a chat assistant plus a plain template. Paste the job ad and your real work history into [ChatGPT Free](https://aifree.dev/offer/chatgpt-free) and ask for a tailored summary and bullets that use only the facts you gave; then paste the result into a free template. For templates, Kickresume Free gives you 4 resume templates with unlimited downloads, and its FAQ says you can download for free "as long as you stick to free customization options". Kickresume also says Premium is free for students who can prove their status with ISIC, ITIC or UNiDAYS; see also the [student AI deals hub](https://aifree.dev/student-ai-deals). Rezi's free plan is the one with AI built in: one resume with the AI Resume Writer and Editor, and three PDF downloads. That is enough for one carefully tailored resume, not for a different resume per application; Rezi's own page says Pro ($29 a month) removes those caps. Source: [Rezi pricing](https://rezi.ai/pricing), [Kickresume pricing](https://kickresume.com/en/pricing/), checked 2026-11-01. ## Cover letter Any of the free chat assistants can draft a cover letter from the job ad and your resume; our [free AI writing assistants guide](https://aifree.dev/learn/free-ai-writing-assistants) lists what ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Copilot allow free. Kickresume's AI cover letter writer is a Premium feature, but its 4 free cover letter templates match the 4 free resume templates, so you can format a letter you wrote with a chat assistant. Rezi has a cover letter generator page; its pricing page lists no cover letter allowance for the free plan, so check that before relying on it. ## Interview practice Free options are thin. Rezi's free plan includes 1 AI interview. Final Round AI's free plan is for preparation (goals, materials, a checklist); its practice interviews and live CoPilot are listed under Pro. For unlimited practice at no cost, use a chat assistant: paste the job ad, ask it to interview you one question at a time, answer, and ask for feedback on each answer. ChatGPT Free lists voice chats as limited, so expect to type, or to speak for a few minutes at most. Google's job search course teaches practising interviews with Gemini Live. The course costs $49 a month in the U.S. and Canada after a 7-day trial, but the tools it teaches, such as Gemini, Gemini Notebook and Career Dreamer, are ones you can open yourself. Final Round AI's live CoPilot listens during a real interview; check the employer's rules before you use any live assistant.

Google's separate Career Dreamer page describes a tool for uncovering skills, drafting a Career Identity Statement and working with Gemini on a cover letter; it names no price or limit, so we cannot say what it costs or caps. - **Final Round AI:** "Sign up - It's Free!" is true of the free plan, but the free plan does not include live sessions. - **Kickresume:** the free plan is real, but the AI writer and the ATS checker are Premium. ## Use it well - **Never let it invent experience.** A model can add a skill, a number or a job title you do not have. Give it facts and check every line; see [why models make things up](https://aifree.dev/explain/hallucination) and the [Use it well series](https://aifree.dev/explain/series/use-it-well). - **A resume is personal data.** It holds your name, address and work history. Check whether a free tool may train on what you upload: [why "free" chats may train on your data](https://aifree.dev/explain/training-on-your-data). - **Tailor, do not mass-produce.** Rezi's free plan caps downloads at three, which suits one resume per job better than a template sent everywhere. - **Read it aloud.** AI-written text tends to sound alike; change anything you would not say in an interview. ## Limits and the catch - **Unpublished means unknown.** ChatGPT's file, voice and research limits have no numbers; expect to be told to come back later. - **Prices and plans move.** The date beside each row is our check; the date at the top of the page is the latest. - **We did not test the tools.** The table reports what each vendor publishes, not how well the output works. ## Offers in this guide - [ChatGPT Free Plan](https://aifree.dev/offer/chatgpt-free.md): Free tier, no card. Free web search, file and image analysis, image generation, and writing tools ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the best free AI for writing a resume?

For more than one resume, use ChatGPT Free to tailor the text and a free template such as Kickresume's four, which have unlimited downloads. ### Is Kickresume free? Its Free plan is $0 a month with 4 resume templates, 4 cover letter templates and unlimited downloads. The AI writer and the ATS resume checker are in Premium, from $19 a month ($4.50 a month paid yearly).

It is a 7-day plan: Enhancv's pricing page calls it "Valid for 7 days", with branding and a 12-item cap on sections. After that you need a paid plan. ### Why are Teal, Jobscan and Resume Worded not listed? Their pricing pages returned an error or blocked our automated read on 2026-11-01, so we could not confirm their free limits and left them out rather than guess. ## Sources - https://rezi.ai/pricing - https://kickresume.com/en/pricing/ - https://www.finalroundai.com/pricing - https://enhancv.com/pricing/ - https://grow.google/job-search-with-ai/ - https://grow.google/career-dreamer/ HTML page: https://aifree.dev/learn/free-ai-job-search
