A free AIApply alternative

What AIApply charges

AIApply bundles a resume builder, cover letters, mock interviews and Auto Apply. Auto Apply is paid by volume: one credit is one submitted application. A third-party breakdown lists 100 applications for $49 a month, 250 for $99 a month and 750 for $199 a quarter, with tailored resumes as a $12 a month add-on. We couldn't confirm these prices on AIApply's own pages, so check there before you pay.

Salvo, free to start

Salvo has no per-application credits. You write your rules, and Salvo finds jobs, rewrites your resume for each one, applies and saves a receipt. It preps you for each interview.

It's free to start with no card. Your first interview request is free. After that Turbo is $14 a week, $39 a month, $89 every 3 months or $299 a year, and you cancel in one click.

Salvo submits on Greenhouse, Workable and Ashby today.

What a week on Salvo looks like

On day one Salvo reads your resume and your rules and starts looking. Within the first day or two most people see their first applications on the dashboard, each with the job post, the resume that went out and the time it was sent. Replies from employers land in your Salvo applicant inbox. When a company asks for an interview, Salvo builds a prep pack for that job: what the company does, what the job needs, and questions you are likely to get.

How to switch from AIApply to Salvo

Switching takes about ten minutes, and you don't have to cancel AIApply first. Plenty of people run both for a week and compare what comes back.

1. Open the Salvo signup page and upload the resume you already use. A PDF or a Word file both work.
2. Write your rules in plain words. Say which job titles you want, the lowest pay you'll take, the cities or the remote setup you want, and any company or kind of job you never want.
3. Check the facts Salvo pulled from your resume: employers, titles and dates. Salvo keeps those exactly as you wrote them. It changes the wording of your bullets for each job, never the facts.
4. Let it run. Salvo finds jobs that fit, writes a resume for each one, applies, and puts a receipt for each application on your dashboard.
5. Watch your Salvo applicant inbox. Each person gets their own address, so employer replies don't get lost in your personal mail.

If you paid AIApply for a long plan, look at its refund rules before you cancel. Some apps give money back only inside a short window.

What to check before you pay for any auto-apply app

These questions apply to AIApply, to Salvo and to every other app in this space. Ask them before you hand over a card.

• Who presses submit? Some apps fill the form and leave the last click to you. Others send it. Both are fine, but they save different amounts of time.
• Does each job get its own resume? One resume sent to 500 jobs reads like one resume sent to 500 jobs. A resume rewritten for each post matches more of what the employer asked for.
• Can you see what was sent? A receipt or a log of each application lets you answer a recruiter who calls about a job you can.t place.
• What does the free part cover, and when does it stop? Free can mean a trial, a daily cap, or one feature. Write down the date or the count where you start paying.
• How do you cancel? Look for a one-click cancel. Search the app's name with the word refund and read what people say.
• Does it make anything up? An app that invents employers, degrees or job titles can get an offer pulled after a background check. Salvo never adds an employer, title, date or degree you didn't give it.
• Which job sites does it reach? Salvo submits on Greenhouse, Workable and Ashby today. If most of your target employers use another site, pick an app that reaches it, or use two apps.

Who should stay with AIApply

Stay with AIApply if it already gets you interviews, or if it reaches the job sites your target employers use and Salvo doesn't yet. An app that works for you is worth keeping.

Try Salvo if you want to pay nothing until an employer asks to talk to you, and you want every application to carry a resume written for that job. Your first interview request is free, and Turbo after that starts at $14 a week. You can start free here with no card.
