Enhancv Pricing: What It Costs, What You Get Back, and How to Switch

This is the detail page behind our ENHANCV alternative comparison. Everything below was read from enhancv.com on September 3, 2026 and is linked to its source. If you only want the short version: the free plan lasts 7 days and the PDF carries Enhancv branding, and Pro auto-renews at $39 a month, $69 every 3 months or $99 every 6 months.

Free account for downloads. No credit card. No watermark.

What Enhancv actually charges

Enhancv's pricing page, read from a US location on September 3, 2026, lists a Free Plan at $0 that is "Valid for 7 days" and three Pro plans (enhancv.com/pricing): Pro Monthly at $39, Pro Quarterly at $69 billed every 3 months (about $23 per month), and Pro Semiannual at $99 billed every 6 months ($16.50 per month). There is no yearly or lifetime plan, and Pro is capped at "300 resumes and cover letters". No card is taken for the free plan, so nothing converts on day 8.

The price you see may differ. The help center says prices "may vary in currency based on the region" and are subject to taxes (help center). Trustpilot reviewers in November 2025 and January 2026 wrote that the price doubled past the first pricing page (Trustpilot, 1-star filter).

Every Pro plan renews automatically "except if the user cancels his plan", and the Terms make it "solely your responsibility to cancel the subscription (through the Billing page) before the next billing date" (enhancv.com/terms). The charge shows as PADDLE.NET* ENHANCV (help center). Refunds are narrower: monthly fees are non-refundable once used, quarterly and semiannual fees get a partial pro-rated refund, promo-code fees are non-refundable, and cancelling alone does not trigger one; you must email [email protected] (refund article).

Reviews are mostly positive: on Trustpilot as of September 3, 2026, Enhancv has a 4.7 TrustScore from 975 reviews, 80% five-star and 5% one-star (Trustpilot). Low ratings repeat a few themes: charges after the reviewer thought they had cancelled, free downloads that dropped sections or carried branding, slow email-only support, and a monthly cap on the AI assistant (Trustpilot, 2-star filter).

How to switch from Enhancv in 10 minutes

As of September 2026, Enhancv exports PDF and TXT only, no Word (source). On the 7-day free plan the PDF is branded and limited to basic sections and 12 items; after that, downloads need Pro (source). If you cancel Pro you keep access to the end of the paid period, then the account turns read-only but "existing documents will be available for you to download" (source).

  1. 1
    Get your files out of Enhancv. Inside the 7 days, or on Pro, download the PDF and TXT now. A branded PDF imports fine; the text is what matters. If the free week has passed, the builder still opens, so copy your text out section by section.
  2. 2
    Cancel Pro if you only paid to download. Open app.enhancv.com/billing, click Cancel Subscription, answer the survey, click Continue, and confirm; the page should show Canceled with your end date. Do it before the next billing date, since monthly fees are non-refundable once used. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not stop the plan.
  3. 3
    Import into SmoothApply. Go to /resume-builder/?start=import and upload the PDF, a DOCX, or a photo. Only have TXT or copied text? Open /resume-builder/?start=examples, pick the closest occupation, and paste your text in.
  4. 4
    Pick a template and adjust. Switch between the 93 templates without losing content, then set fonts, colors, spacing, and layout.
  5. 5
    Check and download. Run the free ATS checker, then download PDF or DOCX. Enhancv never gave you a Word file; this is the easiest way to get one (or see PDF to Word). A free account is required; a card is not.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the Enhancv branding from my resume?
By paying. Enhancv's help center says you can remove the Enhancv branding only if you have a Pro Plan, which as of September 2026 costs $39 per month, $69 per quarter, or $99 per six months in USD. Otherwise, download the branded PDF, import it into a free builder that adds no watermark, and download a clean copy there. Source: help.enhancv.com.
