Getting Started
PrismCV is an all-in-one career toolkit that helps you build ATS-optimized resumes, track job applications, and land interviews faster. It combines a resume builder, ATS compatibility checker, job aggregator, and application tracker in one platform.
After signing up, go to Documents and click "Create New." You'll choose a job title and one of 20 ATS-friendly templates, then the editor opens where you can add your experience, skills, and education. You can also import your LinkedIn profile to pre-fill your resume.
Yes. The free tier includes 3 resumes, 20 templates, a full ATS checker, PDF/DOCX export, unlimited job browsing, 30 saved jobs, 25 AI generations, and 50 tracked applications. No credit card required. See full pricing details.
Go to Documents and click "Import from LinkedIn." You can either paste your LinkedIn profile URL (we'll use AI to parse it) or upload your LinkedIn data export ZIP file. Both methods create a new resume pre-filled with your experience.
Resume & ATS
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to filter resumes before a human recruiter sees them. Over 75% of resumes are rejected at this stage. A higher ATS score means your resume is more likely to reach a real person. Learn more in our guide: What Is an ATS and Why Does It Reject Your Resume?
The ATS checker scans your resume against 140+ industry-standard rules covering formatting, keywords, section structure, and content quality. It gives you a score out of 100 and provides actionable suggestions to improve. The basic check runs client-side in your browser for instant results.
On the free tier you get 3 resumes. Pro users get unlimited resumes and versions. You can tailor a different resume for each job application, keeping a base version as your template.
AI suggestions analyze your resume bullet points and recommend rewrites that add quantification, stronger action verbs, and missing keywords. You can accept, reject, or modify each suggestion before applying it.
Job Tracking
The Applications page gives you a Kanban board to track every job you apply to — from Draft through Applied, Interviewing, and Offer stages. Drag cards between columns to update status, add notes, and set follow-up reminders.
We aggregate jobs from 10+ sources including Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Remotive, RemoteOK, and more. Jobs are refreshed daily and matched to your preferences (target titles, locations, remote preference, salary range).
Yes. Use "Add Past Application" to manually add jobs you've already applied to. The PrismCV Chrome extension also saves jobs directly from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and hiring.cafe in one click.
Four things, all on the free tier: (1) autofill Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby application forms from your profile bank, (2) show a match score against your resume on every LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and hiring.cafe listing, (3) auto-log the application to your Kanban tracker the moment you click submit, and (4) save any job to PrismCV with one click. Pro adds Tailor + Autofill, which generates a job-specific resume before filling the form. See the full extension guide.
AI Features
Each of these actions uses 1 AI credit: running AI-powered ATS suggestions, tailoring a resume to a job description, generating a cover letter, improving bullet points with AI, and importing a LinkedIn profile via URL. The free tier includes 25 AI generations per month.
No. We use Claude by Anthropic for AI features, and your resume data is never used to train AI models. Your data is sent only when you explicitly trigger an AI feature, and it is not stored by the AI provider.
When you reach your monthly limit, AI-powered features will show a message indicating you've used your credits for the month. You can upgrade to Pro (150/month) for more, or wait for the next billing period when credits reset.
Billing & Account
Yes! Pro comes with a 14-day free trial. You can explore all Pro features without charges. Cancel anytime during the trial. See pricing and start your trial.
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and debit cards through our secure payment processor, Stripe.
Absolutely. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan at any time from your Billing page. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated charges. Downgrades take effect at the end of your billing period.
Yes. Export all your data (resumes, applications, preferences) from Settings > Data & Privacy. You can also permanently delete your account and all associated data from the same page.
