Enhancv
An AI resume builder focused on tailoring a resume to a specific job description with a live match score, combined with a large template library and a built-in job application tracker.
Visit websiteWhat it does
Enhancv centers its pitch on tailoring rather than just building — its signature feature lets a user paste in a specific job description and see a live match score, keyword recommendations, and interview-likelihood tips update as they edit their resume. That’s paired with an ATS compatibility checker, AI content suggestions, and an AI-generated resume headline tool aimed at making the top of a resume more attention-grabbing to both recruiters and automated screening. A built-in application tracking dashboard extends the tool beyond resume-building into organizing the broader job search, similar in concept to Teal.
One feature that sets Enhancv apart in this category is resume translation: it can convert a finished resume into several other languages — including French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese — while preserving the original formatting, which is useful for anyone applying to roles across language markets. Its template library is also large, spanning creative, modern, and traditional styles, though the more decorative options carry somewhat more ATS-parsing risk than deliberately plain, ATS-first builders like Rezi.
Enhancv’s pricing structure is worth reading carefully before signing up: the free plan is a 7-day trial rather than a permanent free tier, and it auto-renews into a paid weekly plan unless actively cancelled or downgraded to a monthly or quarterly billing cycle.
Ideal users
- Job seekers who want to see a live match score against a specific job posting while editing, not just a one-time report
- People who want an application tracker bundled with the resume builder rather than a separate tool
- Users applying internationally who need a resume translated into another language while keeping the original formatting
Who should avoid it
- You're price-sensitive about auto-renewing plans — Enhancv's 7-day free trial auto-renews into a paid weekly plan unless cancelled
- You want the cheapest entry point — its weekly plan ($24.99) is the most expensive way to pay, and the free tier only permits one downloadable resume with Enhancv branding
- ATS safety is your top priority over design — Enhancv's templates are broad and decorative, so plainer, ATS-first builders like Rezi may be a safer default for conservative industries
- You need a fully free ongoing plan — Enhancv's free tier is time-limited (7 days) rather than a permanent no-cost tier
Key features
- Resume tailoring with a live match score, keyword recommendations, and interview-likelihood tips against a specific job description
- AI content suggestions and an ATS compatibility checker

Pros / Cons
Pros
- The live match score against a job description updates as you edit, rather than requiring a separate scan step
- Built-in application tracking means resume tailoring and job-search organization happen in the same tool
- Resume translation is a genuinely distinctive feature for job seekers applying across language markets
- Template count and variety are among the largest in this category
Cons
- The 7-day free trial auto-renews into a paid weekly plan by default, which can surprise anyone who forgets to cancel
- Weekly billing ($24.99) is the most expensive per-period option if not switched to monthly or quarterly
- Free tier is capped at one resume with mandatory Enhancv branding
- Decorative template options carry more ATS-parsing risk than deliberately plain, ATS-first builders
Pricing
Free — $19.99/month (Pro Monthly)
Enhancv's free plan allows one resume for 7 days with Enhancv branding and a 12-item section cap. As of mid-2026, paid tiers are Pro Weekly at $24.99 (auto-renewing after the 7-day trial), Pro Monthly at $19.99, and Pro Quarterly at $39.99 (about $13.33/month), with a longer Pro Semiannual option also available at a further discount. Enhancv's help center confirms this same tier structure and savings framing. Quarterly and longer plans reportedly qualify for a pro-rated refund.
Typical workflows
- A job seeker pastes a target job description into Enhancv, watches the match score update as they edit bullet points and keywords, then downloads the tailored version once the score clears their target.
- Someone applying to roles in another country uses Enhancv's translation feature to produce a version of their resume in the local language without rebuilding the formatting from scratch.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Enhancv's free trial convert to a paid plan automatically?

Can Enhancv translate my resume into another language?

Does Enhancv include a job application tracker?
