Question 1

Is Resume Optimizer free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan includes 1 resume and 2 AI resume analyses per month, plus the deterministic ATS scanner and job matcher, which don't require AI at all. Premium removes those limits and adds DOCX export and every template.

Question 2

Does the AI make anything up?

Accepted Answer

No. Every AI-assisted feature is built around one rule: never invent an employer, title, degree, skill, date, or metric you didn't provide. AI suggestions are drafts you review and explicitly accept -- nothing is auto-applied to your resume.

Question 3

Will a good ATS score guarantee an interview?

Accepted Answer

No score can guarantee that. Our ATS score estimates how well your resume is likely to parse and match common applicant-tracking systems, based on structure, keywords, and formatting -- it's a diagnostic tool, not a promise of any outcome.

Question 4

Can I use Resume Optimizer without AI configured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ATS scanner and job-description matcher are both fully deterministic and work with zero AI provider configured. AI (Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini -- your choice) only adds optional suggestions on top.

Question 5

Are my resumes private?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by default. A resume is only visible to you unless you explicitly publish it to a public link, which you can unpublish at any time.

Question 6

Does Premium auto-renew?

Accepted Answer

No. Premium is a one-time purchase valid for a fixed number of days. It never auto-renews or charges you again automatically -- you decide if and when to purchase another period.
