How much does Zety cost after the trial?

The $1.95 trial renews at $25.95 every four weeks unless you cancel. The annual package is a single $71.40 payment that renews each year. Airtight has no trial that renews: three applications are free with no card, then one plan.

Does Zety tailor my resume to a job posting?

Zety's resume check gives keyword and skill recommendations for a job title you select and content suggestions for a target job; you write the resume in the builder. Airtight writes the resume and cover letter for the specific posting from your history, then checks every line against it.

Per month, Airtight is $29; Zety Pro is $25.95 every four weeks, which is more over a year than either Airtight's monthly or quarterly plan. Zety's annual package at $71.40 is cheaper than a year of Airtight if all you need is a template builder.
