Comparison
Salvo vs Teal
Teal is a job tracker and resume builder where you apply by hand, while Salvo is a free-to-start AI app that applies to jobs for you. They do different jobs, so the better pick depends on who should press submit, and plenty of people use both.
The short version
Teal and Salvo sit in different spots of a job search. Teal helps you organize it. You save jobs into a tracker, build resumes, and match each resume to a job description. Then you go to the employer's site and apply yourself.
Salvo handles that last step for you. It finds jobs that fit your written rules, rewrites your resume for each one, applies, and preps you for the interview. It saves a submission receipt for every application.
So the question is what you want to do with your own hours. If you enjoy controlling every application, Teal fits. If you want the applications sent while you do other things, Salvo fits. You can go through how Salvo applies before you decide, or start free and see.

What Teal does well
Teal has a lot going for it. The tracker is free, the resume builder is free to start, and the AI tailoring gives you keyword matching and a match score so you can see how a resume lines up with a posting. Its pages describe unlimited resumes for each job.
A few more strengths:
- LinkedIn import, so you don't retype your history.
- The Chrome extension, which saves a job along with its salary and keywords.
- A low cost. The paid Teal+ plan listed on its help center is cheaper by the month than Salvo's monthly Turbo plan.
If you want to apply by hand, keep tidy records, and build resumes cheaply or free, Teal is the better fit. We mean that.
What Salvo does differently
The gap is the submit button. Teal's pages say you apply yourself and don't describe automatic applying. Salvo applies for you, so the hours you'd spend filling forms go away.
Salvo works from rules you write: titles, pay, places, anything you won't accept. It checks jobs against those rules, rewrites your resume for each job, and sends the application. Every send leaves a receipt you can look at later, so you know what went out.
Each user gets their own Salvo applicant email, and Salvo says it does not sell your data. The security page has the details.
One honest limit. Salvo submits itself on Greenhouse, Workable and Ashby today. Other job sites are being added, but we won't claim them before they work. If every job you want sits on a site Salvo can't submit to yet, a tracker with autofill serves you better for now.
On 2026-10-05 Salvo's public stats page showed 200 interview requests logged, 233,244 jobs in inventory and 11 platforms. The source is the home stats API. Salvo publishes no application counts, so we're giving none.
Cost, plainly
Teal+ at $13 a week, $29 a month or $79 a quarter, as listed on its help center, is the cheaper paid plan in most periods. Teal also has a free plan.
Salvo costs nothing to start and needs no card. Your first 2 interview requests are free. After that, Turbo keeps replies unlocked at $14 weekly, $39 monthly, $89 every 3 months or $299 yearly. You get 7 days free to try, a card is required for the trial, and you can cancel in one click. More on the Turbo page.
The two charge for different things. Teal charges for tracking and resume features. Salvo charges for keeping replies open once interviews start arriving. If you never get an interview request, you never pay.
Using both
Plenty of people don't choose. A tracker holds your notes, contacts and the jobs you found yourself. An auto-apply app sends the bulk of the applications. Teal for the first and Salvo for the second is a sensible pair, and nothing in either one stops you from running both.
