AdaptMyCV vs Teal: a tailoring engine vs a job-search workspace

Teal and AdaptMyCV solve different core problems. Teal is a job-search workspace — a tracker/CRM for your whole pipeline with resume tools attached. AdaptMyCV does one job: rewrite your CV for a specific job description, verify nothing was invented, and hand you an ATS-ready PDF. Many people could sensibly use both.

Who should pick Teal

Pick Teal if your job search is a project you need to manage. Its tracker is genuinely excellent: save postings from any job board, move applications through stages, keep notes and contacts, and see your whole pipeline in one place. If you're running 40+ simultaneous applications and losing track of who you talked to, that workspace is the thing you're missing — and much of it is free.

Teal's free tier is also a reasonable way to build a first resume and dip into AI suggestions before spending anything.

Who should pick AdaptMyCV

Pick AdaptMyCV if the bottleneck is the CV itself — you know which jobs you want, and you need each application to actually clear the ATS and read like it was written for that role. AdaptMyCV's entire pipeline is built for that one job: paste the JD, get a rewritten, ATS-parseable PDF in about 30 seconds, and review a per-line honesty report proving nothing was invented. No resume tool in the category runs that verification step; Teal's AI, like most, will happily generate text you can't defend in an interview.

Pricing is the other wedge: a single tailored CV is $4 with a free full preview first, and the one-time passes ($19 for 7 days, $59 for 90) never auto-renew. If you want a tracker too, use Teal's free tier to manage the pipeline and AdaptMyCV to win the parse.

FAQ

Is Teal free and is AdaptMyCV free?

Teal has a genuinely useful free tier, with AI resume features metered until you pay for Teal+ ($13/week, $29/30 days, or $79/90 days). AdaptMyCV is free to run and preview a full adaptation, free for the ATS checker and CV builder with an account, and charges $4 only when you download a tailored CV.

Does AdaptMyCV have a job tracker like Teal?

No. Teal's application tracker/CRM is its standout feature and AdaptMyCV doesn't compete with it. AdaptMyCV keeps a library of the CVs you've adapted per job, but it won't manage stages, contacts, or follow-ups. Some people use Teal's free tracker alongside AdaptMyCV's tailoring.

What's the main difference in the AI resume features?

Verification. Both tools use AI to align your resume with a job description, but AdaptMyCV runs an honesty check that compares every generated line against your original CV and flags or blocks invented experience, tools, dates, or credentials. Teal doesn't verify its AI output against your source document.
