Is this really all free?

Yes. Every tool on TopApplicant is free: the AI review, the AI rewrite, the resume builder and its PDF download, job tailoring, cover letters and the LinkedIn grader. No account, no email, no card.

What's the catch? How do you make money?

There isn't one on this site. TopApplicant is made by NovionOne, and it's how people find our paid product, CV2Folio, which turns your resume into a hosted portfolio site. Your first portfolio there is free too; we only charge if you want more.

Will my resume pass ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)?

TopApplicant scores your resume on ATS compatibility, flags formatting and keyword gaps that block parsers, and shows the exact keywords recruiters search for in your target role.

Is my resume stored or shared?

Your file is processed for the review and is not shared. We do not require an account, email, or login to use any of the tools.

How long does the AI review take?

Under 60 seconds. Most reviews finish in 20–40 seconds depending on resume length.

What file formats do you accept?

PDF uploads and plain text paste are supported. The AI editor and the builder both return a downloadable, ATS-friendly PDF.
