Compare resume builders: prices, refunds and how to cancel
Most resume builders let you write for free and charge at the download button, usually through a short trial that renews at full price. The pages below record what each one charges, how to get a refund, and the exact cancel steps, re-checked every quarter. SmoothApply is listed as the free alternative because PDF and Word downloads cost nothing here.

How we check
Each price page carries the date it was last verified against the builder's own checkout. If a figure on a page is older than three months, treat it as a guide and confirm on the builder's site before you buy.
