MaxCV vs Teal: tailoring your CV to the job or running your whole job search?

Teal is a broad job search suite: a tracker, a resume builder, cover letters and a recurring Teal+ plan. MaxCV is narrower: it tailors the CV you already have to one specific offer, and you pay once, with nothing to renew.

Verdict

Choose by the job you need done. If you already have a CV and want it honestly fitted to a specific offer, MaxCV is the more direct tool: a verification step checks the result against your real experience, you approve each change, and every tailored CV comes with an interview cheat sheet. Packs are one-time, so nothing renews between job hunts. The interface is in English and Polish, and the extension's button also works on Polish job boards.

When to choose them

Choose Teal if you want one place to run the whole search: a job tracker, a resume builder with templates, cover letters and wider career tooling. MaxCV has no application tracker today, and Teal's free plan already covers unlimited tracking and resumes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between MaxCV and Teal?
Teal covers the whole job search, with a tracker, resume builder and cover letters. MaxCV does one part of it: tailoring your existing CV to a specific offer, with a verification step, approval of each change, an interview cheat sheet and a draft cover letter.
Does MaxCV have a job tracker or cover letters like Teal?
MaxCV has no application tracker today, so if you need one, Teal offers it. MaxCV does write a draft cover letter with each tailored CV, based only on your CV. You can also use the two side by side.
Is MaxCV a subscription?
No. The 30-pack is a one-time purchase that never expires, and Unlimited covers 30 days with no renewal. Teal+ is a recurring plan billed every 7, 30 or 90 days until you cancel, according to Teal's pages.
Can I try both for free?
Yes. MaxCV gives you 1 tailoring without an account and 3 more after sign-up, with PDF download. Teal has a free plan with unlimited resumes and job tracking, 10 templates and limited AI credits.
