Teal needs an account for everything, gives the top 5 keywords from a job post for free, and caps free AI at a few credits; Teal+ is $13 a week. ClapAssist's job tracker, resume builder, ATS checker and cover letter tools open with no account, show every missing keyword, and download to Word as well as PDF.
Read on from www.tealhq.com. Prices and plans change; check their page before you decide.
Both give you a job tracker, a resume builder, keyword matching and cover letters. The differences are the account, what is free, and what Teal has that we do not.
Teal: Needed for the builder, the tracker and AI. "No credit card required, ever."
ClapAssist: None. Open an app and start. Jobs and resumes are saved in your browser.
Teal: Teal+: $13 every 7 days, $29 every 30 days, $79 every 90 days.
ClapAssist: None for the career apps.

Teal plans, prices and features taken from its own pages on ; the sources are listed above. "Not offered on the pages we read" means their site does not say it, which is not the same as not having it. ClapAssist prices show in your local currency automatically.
A comparison page you can trust has to say this part too.
Teal saves jobs from job boards in one click, keeps your tracker in sync across devices, shows jobs in its own board, has a larger template library and records video in interview practice. ClapAssist has none of those, apart from tracker sync: once you sign in with your email, its job board shows on every computer too.
The tracker, resume builder, ATS checker, cover letter tools and LinkedIn optimizer open with no account. Every missing keyword and a Word download are free, and there is no subscription, so there is no refund window to miss.
Public reviews, copied word for word, the good and the bad. Each is one person's view.
“Very difficult to cancel the service once you are done. Continuously charges your account even after you've attempted to cancel multiple times.”
“on the official site it says you have 14 days to get a refund, when I emailed I was told I could not get a refund as the 7 day subscription needs you to cancel within two days.”
“every day a new spam email. Unsubscribe disfunctional”
“because there's no way to download the Word file, I couldn't fix them.”
“The Chrome extension doesn't work very well. The Teal website, job search, and resume functionality are all great!”
“No ads, straightforward, and well-organized.”
Every app is free with no account. The optional AI buttons have a small free daily allowance per connection. What you give a tool is saved so our tools can fill it in next time; see or delete it at clapassist.com/my-data/. See every free app.
ClapAssist's main product is a desktop app for the live interview itself. It listens to the call on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams and puts a short answer from your own resume on your screen, at your eye line. The window is left out of screen shares on every plan, including Free.
It comes with 10 free interview minutes, once, no card. After that: $14.99 for 120 minutes within 2 days (7 days in India), $39.99 for an unlimited 14 days, or $119.99 for an unlimited 30 days. Prices show in your currency. The career apps above stay free either way.
It is built for video interviews. It is not a way around locked-down coding test sites like HackerRank or CoderPad, and it warns you when an exam app is open instead of hiding from it. Read is ClapAssist safe for the full limits.
Partly. On 27 September 2026 Teal's free plan gave unlimited resumes, PDF downloads and job tracking, but capped AI at 10 bullet credits (one Teal help page says 5), 2 summaries, 2 cover letters and 2 interview practice sessions, and showed only the top 5 keywords from a job post. The rest is Teal+. ClapAssist's career apps are free with no account; the AI buttons have a small free daily allowance.
Yes. It is a real company, Teal Labs, Inc, with a real product. The bad reviews we read are mostly about subscriptions that were hard to cancel or refund, marketing emails and AI mistakes, not about the product being fake.
$13 every 7 days, $29 every 30 days or $79 every 90 days, in US dollars, renewing until you cancel. Refunds must be asked for within 2 days on the weekly plan, 7 on the monthly and 14 on the quarterly (Teal help center, read 27 September 2026).
Yes. ClapAssist's job application tracker, resume builder, ATS resume checker, cover letter generator and LinkedIn optimizer open with no account. Your jobs and resumes are saved in your browser and to ClapAssist, so our tools can fill them in; delete them anytime at clapassist.com/my-data/. To see your job tracker board on another computer, sign in there with your email; to use the other tools on another computer, download a backup file and open it there.
On ClapAssist, yes: PDF, Word, plain text and JSON Resume, free, with no watermark. Teal's builder and pricing pages name PDF export only.
No. The tracker has a Save to tracker bookmark: drag it to your bookmarks bar once, press it on a job post and it reads the job into the tracker. Links from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee and Personio can be pasted directly.
Yes, from a file. The tracker imports a CSV or Excel file with a Company or Job title column and reads stage, dates, location, salary, tags and notes when present; its page lists exports from Huntr and Teal among those it reads.
Teal has a Chrome extension, a job board, sync across devices through your account, a bigger template library, video recording in interview practice and LinkedIn review inside LinkedIn. ClapAssist has none of those except sync, and only for the job tracker board, after you sign in with your email. It gives you the tracker, the full keyword list, Word download and AI help without an account or a subscription.
No. Teal is a trademark of its owner. Its details on this page were read from tealhq.com on 27 September 2026 and may change.
Each page states where that tool beats this one. If one of them fits you better, it is better to find out here.
