Pricing
Free is real. Paid is optional. Lifetime is honest about AI.
Most resume tools give you a three-day trial, then hold your own resume hostage. ProofKit keeps one full resume, daily scans, and five AI runs a month free — forever, no card. Pro exists for people in an active search who need more scans, more resumes, and more AI. Lifetime exists for people who hate subscriptions. The one thing we will never sell is “unlimited AI for a one-time price” — every AI run costs real money, so we price it like adults.

*Unlimited means no cap on your own resumes and downloads inside fair-use infrastructure limits. Add-ons: $5 / 100 AI runs · extra human reviews $7 each (Pro includes one every month). The Drive button saves straight into your Drive once Google sign-in is connected; until then it hands you the .docx to drop in yourself.
Every limit, on the table
The full comparison. No asterisk hunt.
What “unlimited” usually means
Some tools advertise unlimited AI and quietly cap it per day, or bill a $2 trial that renews at $24 every four weeks — about $300 a year if you keep it. We publish the number instead, because a limit you can read is not a limit you have to discover:
- Free - 5 AI runs a month. Enough to try the writer and the cover letter on one role.
- Pro $28 - 300 AI runs a month on frontier models. An active search rarely burns through that.
- Lifetime $148 - the app forever, 200 AI runs a month that refresh, top-ups at $5 for 100 when you need more.
Why monthly? Because every AI run costs us real money, and a product promising infinite runs at a one-time price has to hide a throttle somewhere. We would rather show you the throttle.
