What each product is
| Jobscan | FilterProof | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | ATS resume scanner and job-search toolkit | Evidence-based AI resume and application-package builder |
| In its own terms | Jobscan is best known as an ATS resume scanner: you upload a resume and a job posting and it reports a match rate against the posting, with keyword and formatting findings. Its site also lists an AI resume-tailoring feature, a resume builder, a cover letter generator, a LinkedIn optimization tool, a job application tracker, auto-apply, and interview practice. | FilterProof writes tailored, ATS-readable resumes and cover letters only from career evidence you have added to a private Memory Board — old resumes, documents, certificates, notes — and checks generated wording against that evidence. A pasted job description is matched requirement by requirement, and gaps are shown as gaps rather than filled. |
| Workflow | Document-first. You bring a finished resume and a posting; Jobscan scores the pair and tells you what to change. Improvement is iterative: edit, rescan, compare the match rate. | Evidence-first. You build a record of what you have done, then for each posting FilterProof matches the record to the requirements and writes the resume from the matched evidence. The document is an output, not the input. |
| Pricing model | Free tier for a limited number of scans and the resume builder; paid plan for full access. See jobscan.co for current terms. | Free tier: one tailored resume and cover letter. Paid access is by time-limited Pass (no auto-renew) or a one-time package; a low-cost monthly option keeps a board between searches. Current amounts are on the pricing page. Pricing. |
Where Jobscan is stronger
- Reporting a single match-rate figure against a posting, which many people find motivating and easy to track between edits.
- Breadth: the site lists LinkedIn optimization, application tracking, auto-apply and interview practice under one account.
- Maturity and recognition. Jobscan has been in the ATS-scanning category for years and is widely referenced.
- Working from a resume you already have, with no evidence-collection step first.
Where FilterProof is stronger
- Writing only from your evidence, with generated wording checked against it. Jobscan’s scanner scores a document you wrote; FilterProof’s constraint is on what the AI may write.
- Recovering experience from old resumes and documents you have added, rather than only the resume you upload for this scan.
- Presenting matched, partial and missing requirements as a list rather than a single percentage, and declining to present its result as the employer’s score.
- Pass-based pricing with no auto-renew.
Choose Jobscan if
- You have a current, strong resume and mainly want a quick score-and-fix loop against postings.
- You want LinkedIn optimization, application tracking or interview practice bundled in.
- You prefer a single number to track progress.
Choose FilterProof if
- Your relevant experience is scattered across old documents and you are not sure your current resume shows it.
- You want the AI prevented from inventing claims, not just asked to avoid them.
- You are applying to many roles and want each resume and cover letter written from the same evidence base.
Things both sides should be honest about
- A Jobscan match rate and a FilterProof alignment result are both external estimates. Neither is the employer’s configuration, and neither predicts an outcome.
- Jobscan’s site states outcome figures for its users. FilterProof does not publish comparable figures and does not dispute Jobscan’s; it has no basis to.
