Checked November 6, 2026 on each vendor's own website. Prices change; check the source links before you buy.

"Free" means different things here: a plan with no time limit, a trial that ends after a few days, or a free extension that fills forms but never submits them. The table separates the tools that submit applications for you from the ones that only autofill, and shows the cheapest paid plan exactly as each vendor displays it.

The tools, one by one

AutoApplyMax

A Chrome extension that runs in your own signed-in browser. On LinkedIn it opens each Easy Apply job from your search, fills every step, attaches your resume and submits, pausing when LinkedIn rate-limits. On every other job site it fills the form from your profile and you review and click Submit. The dashboard tailors your resume and cover letter to each job description and logs every application.

Better pick if: you apply mostly through LinkedIn Easy Apply, want a free plan to start, and want a resume tailored to each job before you send it.

LoopCV

LoopCV runs "loops" on its own servers: it scans job boards daily and "submits applications on your behalf automatically", and it can email recruiters. Its Chrome extension ("Apply Tool") completes LinkedIn applications for jobs you pick in the LoopCV dashboard. It has a free-forever plan; paid plans start at €9.99/month. Full comparison.

Better pick if: you are in Europe, want a low-cost bot that keeps applying and emailing recruiters without your browser open.

FastApply

FastApply has two modes: "Apply for Me", an agent that applies for you on employer career pages, and "Browse & Apply", a Chrome extension that fills forms on 20+ job boards and ATSs (it names LinkedIn, Indeed, Workday, Greenhouse and Naukri) while you watch. Plans are sold in monthly credits (one credit per submitted application); AI resume tailoring and cover letters cost extra per month.

Better pick if: you want a server-side agent applying on employer career sites at high volume, and do not mind paying extra for tailoring.

LazyApply

LazyApply sells application volume: its pricing page lists 15, 150 or 1,500 applications a day depending on the plan, billed once a year, and says its Job GPT "automatically fills the job applications" on platforms "like Greenhouse, Dice, Indeed and Ziprecruiter". Plans differ by the number of resume profiles (1, 5 or 20). Per-job resume tailoring is not described on its plan pages. Full comparison.

Better pick if: you want the highest daily application volume on US job boards and are fine paying for a year upfront.

JobCopilot

JobCopilot says it "exclusively applies to verified jobs on official company career pages", from its own systems, and that you can send up to 50 personalized applications a day. Elite adds a tailored resume per application. Its Chrome extension only autofills: you review and submit. No free plan is listed. Full comparison.

Better pick if: you target company career sites rather than LinkedIn and want a hands-off service.

AIApply

AIApply's agent sources jobs, tailors your documents and submits applications for you, paid with auto-apply credits (one per application) that do not expire, alongside a Premium subscription for its resume, cover letter and interview tools. Its official pages do not publish prices or which sites it applies on.

Better pick if: you want a hands-off service paid per application and do not need to watch each submission.

Simplify (Copilot)

Simplify Copilot autofills applications "on 100,000+ company career sites in one click", and its help center tells you to click the employer's final Submit button yourself. Simplify+ adds AI resume tailoring, cover letters and Autopilot, which fills and submits on supported postings using 20 credits a week, with no review step before submission. Full comparison.

Better pick if: you apply mostly on company career sites (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever) and want a free, widely used autofill extension.

Jobright

Jobright matches you to jobs and its Autofill extension fills applications "on thousands of ATS platforms with just 1-click"; you review and submit yourself. Its Agent auto-applies to jobs on a list you select, with access and limits that depend on your plan. It offers job-specific tailored resumes. Job-seeker prices are not published on its site. Full comparison.

Better pick if: you are in the US and want AI job matching plus a free autofill extension.

OwlApply

OwlApply is an autofill extension: its FAQ says "It fills the application; you submit it" and that it never submits for you. It lists LinkedIn, Indeed, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters and Taleo among supported sites. The free plan includes 10 autofills a month; Pro adds unlimited autofills, per-job resume tailoring and cover letters.

Better pick if: you apply one by one on ATS portals and want to review every form, with a cheap short trial of the paid plan.

JobWizard

JobWizard autofills ATS forms (it names Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters and Taleo) and you review and submit. Its free plan has weekly allowances, including 30 autofills, 30 cover letters and 30 resume retouches a week. Paid access is sold as 30-day passes that do not renew on their own.

Better pick if: you apply by hand on ATS portals and want a generous free autofill allowance or a pass without a subscription.

Huntr

Huntr is built around a job-search board: you save jobs from any site, move them through stages and keep notes and contacts. Its extension autofills applications without a cap on the free plan, which also tracks up to 100 jobs and includes 2 job-tailored resumes; Pro removes the caps and adds unlimited AI resumes and cover letters. Full comparison.

Better pick if: tracking is your main need and you apply by hand on many different sites.
