RezUp vs Resume Worded: what we found testing it ourselves

We created a Resume Worded account and walked its full flow (August 2026). Credit where due: its free Targeted Resume tool really does compare your resume to a job description at no charge, with a relevancy score, found/missing keyword counts and a side-by-side view — a genuinely useful free tool. The catches: it is a checker, not a builder (templates are Word/Google Docs downloads); the free resume score locks several checks (Leadership, Communication, Teamwork and more) plus the full report behind Pro; scoring requires an account and your resume is uploaded to their servers; the signup form pre-checks a weekly email subscription; and Pro is a recurring subscription at $49/month, $33/month billed quarterly, or $19/month billed yearly against a $75 strikethrough anchor. RezUp is a full builder plus checker: your resume stays in your browser, the entire ATS report is free with no locked checks, and no account or email is needed — one-time pricing, currently free during beta.

• Full builder + checker in one — Resume Worded checks resumes but sends you to Word/Google Docs templates to edit
• Every check in the ATS report is free — Resume Worded locks several recruiter checks and the full report behind Pro
• Your resume never leaves your browser — Resume Worded requires an account and uploads your resume to score it
• No pre-checked email subscriptions — their signup form opts you into a weekly email by default
• One-time pricing ($9.99/$19.99 when billing opens) vs a $19–$49/month recurring subscription
