Enhanced runs $99\/month (the recommended tier) or $199 for 3 months, both on a newer ChatGPT 5.2 engine with a plan cap of 100 a day. Entry price lands in the same place as AiApply's Starter tier, the difference isn't the sticker, it's what's included at that price.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"table-responsive\">\n        <table class=\"comparison-table\">\n            <thead><tr><th>Plan<\/th><th>Advertised<\/th><th>Actually billed<\/th><th>Volume cap<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n            <tbody>\n                <tr><td>AiApply Starter<\/td><td>$12\/week<\/td><td>$49\/month<\/td><td>100 jobs\/month<\/td><\/tr>\n                <tr><td>AiApply Pro<\/td><td>$23\/week<\/td><td>$99\/month<\/td><td>250 jobs\/month<\/td><\/tr>\n                <tr><td>AiApply Pro+<\/td><td>$16\/week<\/td><td>$199\/3 months<\/td><td>250 jobs\/month<\/td><\/tr>\n                <tr><td>JobHire.AI Basic<\/td><td>$49\/month<\/td><td>$49\/month<\/td><td>40 jobs\/day<\/td><\/tr>\n                <tr><td>JobHire.AI Enhanced<\/td><td>$99\/month<\/td><td>$99\/month<\/td><td>100 jobs\/day<\/td><\/tr>\n                <tr><td>JobHire.AI Enhanced (3-month)<\/td><td>$199\/3 months<\/td><td>$199\/3 months<\/td><td>100 jobs\/day<\/td><\/tr>\n            <\/tbody>\n        <\/table>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2 id=\"resume\">Resume Handling and Control<\/h2>\n    <p>AiApply builds one ATS-formatted resume and swaps keywords per posting, with translation into 50+ languages if you need it. Cover letters come from a general-purpose model reading the job description, output that recruiters in active job-seeker threads describe as recognizable by shape: opening hook, achievement framing, closing CTA.<\/p>\n    <p>JobHire.AI gives you three resume modes: submit your original resume unchanged, use an AI-enhanced version reformatted for ATS systems without altering content, or use AI-tailored resumes that adapt keywords and emphasis per job. Match scoring shows a percentage with a breakdown across resume alignment, title match, experience, skills, and degree, plus tunable importance weights for location, salary, and job title.<\/p>\n\n    <figure>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jobhire.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/y.png\" alt=\"JobHire.AI Applications view showing match percentage per job, Auto-apply countdown timer, salary, work type, and Be an early applicant tag\" title=\"\">\n      <figcaption>Applications view - each role shows a match percentage and an auto-apply countdown.<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n\n    <h2 id=\"guarantee\">What Happens If You Don't Get Interviews<\/h2>\n    <p>This is where the two platforms diverge most. AiApply's published refund policy covers documented technical errors only, cancellation, dissatisfaction, or zero interviews don't qualify.<\/p>\n    <p>JobHire.AI charges upfront like any subscription, but promises interview invitations within 15 days or a full refund of what you paid. It typically takes 7-14 days for recruiters to review applications, so the window is tight but aligned with the platform's own timeline.<\/p>\n\n    <figure>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jobhire.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jobhire.jpg\" alt=\"JobHire.AI homepage showing 15-day interview promise with U.S. Roles Only badge\" title=\"\">\n      <figcaption>Homepage promise, verbatim: \"You don't get an interview invitation in 15 days, you'll get your money back.\" Source: jobhire.ai, verified July 2026.<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n\n    <h2 id=\"who-alternative\">Who Should Look for an AiApply Alternative?<\/h2>\n    <p>Not everyone needs to switch.
