Everything you need to know before you upload.
Yes. The CVTracker ATS checker is free forever and does not require an account. Jobscan paywalls scans after the first few; CVTracker does not.
Both look at section coverage (contact, experience, skills, education) and keyword matching against the job description. CVTracker’s rule-based scorer scores sections 15 points each and keywords 5 points each, for a 0–100 score.
Pro ($12/mo) adds resume tailoring per job description powered by Claude Haiku 4.5, unlimited saved analyses, and priority support. The ATS check itself is free.
There is no direct importer. You can upload the same CV file (PDF/DOCX) to CVTracker’s checker and get an equivalent score immediately. The job tracker is fresh and tied to your CVTracker account.
We compare publicly listed Jobscan pricing and features as of 2026-06. We do not claim CVTracker is better at everything — we focus on free unlimited usage, self-hosting, and price. If you need a specific Jobscan-only feature, use Jobscan.
CVTracker is self-hosted. We do not sell or share your CV, and we do not use it to train AI models.
