Salvo vs Career.io

Salvo applies for you on company hiring sites, rewrites your resume for each job and is free until your 2nd interview. Career.io is a resume app. Does it apply for you? It does not say it applies for you; its pricing page lists no auto apply.

Everything about Career.io here comes from its own public page, checked on 2026-11-04. Prices change, so open its page before you pay.

Side by side

Where Career.io is better

• The 12 month plan is a one time payment of $74.95.
• It bundles resumes, cover letters and interview practice.

Where Salvo is worse

• Free use. Career.io has a free plan with no end date (Yes, a free tier has salary comparison, a 90 day plan and career articles.). Salvo is free only until your 2nd interview.
• Phone app. Salvo's Android app is waiting on Google's approval and the iPhone app is in Apple's queue, so today Salvo runs on the web.
• Track record. Salvo is new and has few public ratings yet. Check the live count on the stats page and decide for yourself.

What to check before you pay for Career.io

• The pricing page does not mention auto apply.
• The monthly plan renews on its own after the trial.

Who each one fits

Salvo fits you if you want applications sent for you on company hiring sites, a new resume for each job, and a free start until your 2nd interview. It fits less well if you need Indeed Apply or LinkedIn Easy Apply, or a phone app today.

Career.io fits you if you like what it does best: the 12 month plan is a one time payment of $74.95; it bundles resumes, cover letters and interview practice. Open its own page for the current price and terms before you pay, since plans change.

How Salvo applies, step by step

1. You upload your resume and write your rules: job titles, places, pay, and remote or in person.
2. Salvo looks through new postings on company hiring sites and keeps the ones that match your rules.
3. For each job it writes a new version of your resume, using only your own history.
4. It fills out the application on the company's own site, answers the questions from your profile, and presses submit.
5. It saves a receipt of what it sent, and you see every application on your dashboard.
6. When an employer asks you to interview, Salvo preps you for that interview.

Questions to ask before you pay for any job app

• Who presses submit: you, or the app?
• How many applications does the plan allow, and what does each one cost?
• Does it rewrite your resume for each job, or send the same one every time?
• Which job sites does it work on? Company hiring sites, job boards, or both?
• Can you see proof of each application it sent?
• Is there a free plan or a free start, and how do refunds work?

What Salvo does

Salvo finds jobs that match your rules, rewrites your resume for each one, fills out the company's own application and presses submit. It never changes your employers, titles or dates, and it keeps a receipt of every application. Turbo promises at least 1,000 applications a month, each with its own resume, or your next month is free. See the live count on the stats page and the pricing page.

Try Salvo free, no card. It takes about 2 minutes to sign up and set your rules.
