FAQ

Does paying start applications? No. Choose your plan and complete signup, then upload one document or describe your experience. You confirm the generated profile. Standard requires your review and Apply action for each job; Premium requires your explicit automatic-application approval.

What can I upload or write? Start with a résumé or an application-related document, or use one text box for your background, experience, ideal roles, locations, work preferences and other relevant facts. Passwords, financial details and document numbers are not needed. We do not infer sensitive or legal facts from your identity.

What if the generated information is wrong? Edit the facts or add corrections and regenerate. Later generations use stronger thinking. A manual option is offered after the second attempt; after five attempts, complete the profile manually. You can edit or deliberately redo an approved profile later.

How does Standard's daily limit work? You can authorize up to 200 applications per day. Your workspace shows the remaining allowance and reset time. Reserved or uncertain sends count conservatively, so an unknown outcome is never retried as though nothing happened.

What does Premium's match percentage mean? Choose a threshold from 50–100%. Your approved information is compared with eligible catalog jobs using the same matcher as dispatch. Counts and job lists update for your selected threshold; an unavailable or unfinished count is not shown as zero.

What happens after the founder offer? Premium is $500 a month for everyone, including founder members after their first three months. There is no founder discount to wait for and no price increase ahead.

Can I try Premium first? Yes. Try Premium free for 7 days, then $500 USD per month. A card is required to start the trial; cancel before it ends and you won't be charged. The free trial is for accounts that have never had Premium and are not on a paid plan.

What if I already paid for access? Eligible existing paid subscribers receive Premium at $200 per month while continuously subscribed. A new subscription after cancellation uses current terms. Existing lifetime purchases remain lifetime access and are not converted into recurring charges.
