The best AI resume and job application tool depends on what you want help with: organizing a big search, scanning a resume against a job, building a polished resume, or handing the applying itself to software. Here is how OnlyApply compares with Teal, Jobscan, Rezi and AIApply, using facts from each company's own website.
OnlyApply is made by OnlyApply Pte Ltd in Singapore and lives at onlyapply.ai. It is not affiliated with AIApply, OneApply or Apply AI, which are separate products run by other companies. If you searched for one of those, the OnlyApply vs AIApply page explains how the two best-known names differ.
OnlyApply does one job: you add a posting, and it drafts a resume and cover letter tailored to it from your own profile, scores how well you match, lists your gaps and keeps the application on a tracker. It never invents experience, and it never submits an application for you.

Strongest at: Applying at volume: Auto Apply finds matching jobs and submits applications for you, with an optional review queue.
Strongest at: Organizing a big search for free: unlimited resumes and job tracking, plus a Chrome extension that saves jobs from 40+ job boards.
Strongest at: ATS-focused resume scans with a match rate report, plus LinkedIn profile optimization and approval-based Auto Apply.
Strongest at: A resume builder with a one-time Lifetime price, a monthly human review on Pro, and DOCX and Google Drive export.
Strongest at: Writing a tailored resume and cover letter for each job from your own profile, with a fit score, a gap list and a tracker. Never invents experience and never applies for you.
This is the biggest split. AIApply's Auto Apply can submit applications on your behalf, and Jobscan's Auto Apply fills in forms but waits for your approval. Rezi's Chrome extension fills in forms and leaves the submit button to you. OnlyApply does not touch the application form at all: it prepares the documents and you apply.
Teal and Jobscan both offer a free job tracker with a Chrome extension for saving postings, which is hard to beat if you write your own resumes. OnlyApply is built for the other half of the work: a full tailored resume and cover letter for each job, plus a fit score and gap list.
Teal sells Teal+ for 7, 30 or 90 days at a time. Rezi has a one-time Lifetime plan. AIApply prices its toolkit, Auto Apply and Interview Buddy separately. Jobscan bills monthly or quarterly. OnlyApply has a free plan with no time limit and Pro and Career plans billed monthly or yearly. The pricing on each comparison page is quoted from that company's own pricing or help pages.
We only state a competitor fact we read on that competitor's own website on the date shown. If we could not confirm something, the table says it is not listed rather than guessing. Each comparison has a "Where it is better" section, because every one of these tools does something better than we do.
