Huntr vs Teal vs JobEJ: What Each One Costs and Who It Suits

Every job tracker looks the same on its landing page: save jobs, move them through stages, never lose a follow-up. The differences show up in the price and in what the free plan quietly leaves out. Here is a comparison written by the people behind one of them, which means you should read the section where we say what we are worse at, and check the prices yourself before you pay anything — they change.

Prices, as of September 2026

• Huntr: free plan tracks up to 100 jobs with two tailored resumes. Pro is 40 dollars a month, or about 27 dollars a month if you pay six months up front.
• Teal: free plan tracks unlimited jobs with limited AI credits. Teal+ is sold by the week (about 13 dollars), the month (about 29 dollars), or the quarter (about 79 dollars, roughly 26 a month).
• JobEJ: free plan, then Pro at 9.99 dollars a month, or 99 dollars once for lifetime access.

The weekly option is worth a moment of arithmetic. A job search that takes three months is thirteen weeks; buying weekly is the most expensive way to buy anything, and job searches almost always run longer than you expect when you start.

Where Huntr is the right answer

Huntr is built around the resume and the application packet. If your problem is producing a tailored resume for every posting, with autofill for application forms, Huntr does that well and has done it for years. The free tier is generous for tracking — 100 jobs covers most searches — and the paid tier is priced for people who treat a job search as a full-time project with a budget to match.

Where Teal is the right answer

Teal's free plan is the most generous of the three for pure tracking: unlimited jobs, a Chrome extension, a basic resume builder. If you want to track a lot and pay nothing, Teal is hard to argue with. The catch is that the features people actually upgrade for — unlimited AI, the match scorer, all templates — sit behind a subscription that costs more per month than either of the others, so the free plan is best understood as a long trial.

Where JobEJ is the right answer

JobEJ is for the person who wants the tracking to disappear into the background. Save a posting from any site with one click, and the job, the company, the salary and the description are filed for you. Ask ChatGPT or Claude to save a job, change a status or draft a tailored resume, and it happens in your account, because JobEJ speaks the protocol those assistants use. And there is a lifetime option: 99 dollars once, which is cheaper than four months of either competitor's subscription.

Where JobEJ is the wrong answer

• It is new. Huntr and Teal have years of polish and far more users; if you want the safest, most-reviewed option, they are it.
• There is no application autofill. JobEJ saves the posting; it does not fill in the company's form for you.
• The resume builder has fewer templates than Huntr's, and no application packets.
• If you only ever track ten jobs a year, any free plan will do and you should not pay anyone.

How to actually choose

Pick by the part of the search that is costing you the most. If writing resumes is the bottleneck, Huntr. If you want maximum tracking for zero dollars, Teal's free plan. If the bottleneck is the admin — copying postings, remembering where you applied, keeping the thread of who said what — JobEJ, and the lifetime price means you are not paying rent on your own job search.

Whichever you pick, pick one this week. The cost of no tracker at all is higher than any of these subscriptions: it is the interview you forgot to follow up on.
