How these facts were gathered. tealhq.com blocks automated fetches (HTTP 403 on 2026-09-05), so Teal’s current self-description could not be re-verified from its site on the review date. The statements below are FilterProof’s understanding of Teal as a job-search tracker with a resume builder, and are limited to that category level. Verify feature specifics and plan names on tealhq.com before relying on them.
What each product is
| Teal | FilterProof | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Job-search tracker with resume builder | Evidence-based AI resume and application-package builder |
| In its own terms | Teal is generally understood as a job-search platform whose centre is an application tracker — saving postings, tracking each application’s stage — with a resume builder, AI writing assistance, and a browser extension for capturing jobs. It offers a free tier and a paid plan. | 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 | Pipeline-first. The organising object is your list of applications; the resume builder and AI writing sit alongside it so you can produce a version per saved job. | Evidence-first. The organising object is your record of what you have done; each posting is matched to it and the resume and cover letter are written from the matched evidence. |
| Pricing model | Free tier and a paid plan. See tealhq.com for current terms and plan names. | 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 Teal is stronger
- Application tracking. Keeping a pipeline of saved jobs, stages and follow-ups is central to Teal and not a FilterProof feature.
- Capturing postings from the browser as you find them.
- A broader job-search organiser for someone who wants one place for everything.
Where FilterProof is stronger
- The constraint on the AI: FilterProof writes only from evidence you have added and checks generated wording against it.
- Recovering experience from every old resume and document you add, not only the profile you build in the tool.
- A requirement-by-requirement match against a pasted posting, with gaps shown rather than filled.
- Pass-based pricing with no auto-renew.
Choose Teal if
- Your main problem is keeping track of many applications and their stages.
- You want a browser extension that captures jobs into a pipeline.
- You want one organiser for the whole search and are comfortable reviewing AI-written text yourself.
Choose FilterProof if
- Your main problem is that your resume does not show experience you actually have.
- You want each application written from a checked evidence record rather than a profile you maintain by hand.
- You would rather have gaps listed than filled.
Things both sides should be honest about
- Because Teal’s site could not be fetched on the review date, this page deliberately avoids feature-level claims about Teal. If a specific Teal capability matters to you, check it on tealhq.com.
- Teal and FilterProof are not substitutes for each other on tracking: FilterProof does not track application stages.
