Roleframe vs Enhancv unlimited PDFs, checked block by block
Roleframe's PDF is free and full of real selectable text, with no clock on the download. Every block is checked as you edit, a tailored version shows its job match, and Remi fixes any finding as a word-by-word diff you approve. A job tracker, a contact list and a capture extension sit beside it, free. Enhancv's seven days end at a download paywall, then $39 a month or $99 for six months as of 2 September 2026. Pick Enhancv where the visual read is part of the hire.

How long free access lasts
Yes: No expiry. Nothing on the free tier counts down.
Partial or qualified: Seven days from registration with all templates and design tools open, after which downloads stop and the builder stays usable.
Section items on a free resume

No: A maximum of 12 section items on the Free Plan.
One-time purchase that never renews
Yes: Premium is one payment for a week, a month or three months, with nothing metered in credits. It never renews, so there is nothing to cancel.

Partial or qualified: Pro storage tops out at 300 resumes and cover letters.
Editor & templates
Start from a blank page and drag the layout together
Yes: Drag sections onto an empty page and set spacing, section layouts and page breaks yourself. Every design control is on the free plan.
Partial or qualified: You pick one of its 84 templates first, then work in a live drag-and-drop editor over it. A blank-page start is not documented on its pages.
Editor model
Yes: A block-based drag-and-drop editor with live preview, on every plan.
Yes: A live drag-and-drop editor with control over sections, fonts, colors and backgrounds.
Design control below the template

ATS feedback without paying
Yes: The free tier includes 50 live checks, enough for a full first read of a resume, and an imported resume is checked as soon as you open it.

Export & sharing
The file matches what you edited
Yes: The PDF renders through the same document pipeline as the editor, with real selectable text.
Yes: A PDF or TXT file downloaded from the builder you edited in.
Six parts of Roleframe, from the free editor and its live checks through Remi to privacy and the export, each set against what Enhancv does on the same axis.
01Editor
A real canvas, with nothing counting down
Roleframe's editor is block-based drag-and-drop with live preview and full design control on every plan: fonts, spacing, colors, custom sections, page breaks you position yourself, and a library of 40 section layouts. Enhancv's is a real editor too, with sections, fonts, colors, backgrounds and one or two columns. Design freedom is not where these two disagree.
Forty section layouts mean one Experience block can be laid out several ways without leaving the ATS-safe envelope.
Custom sections carry volunteering, publications and the rest, each with a use-case preset behind it.
A free Enhancv resume is capped at 12 section items, which Experience, Education and Skills tend to claim before a designed block appears.
02Branches
One master, a branch for every posting
Roleframe treats every application as a branch off one master. Editing a branch never touches the master or its siblings, so twelve applications cannot quietly diverge, and improving the master flows into the branches, including ones you tailored weeks ago. Enhancv keeps a master resume its tailoring draws on, and what it documents for a second version is Duplicate, which lands as a standalone document on the dashboard.
Each branch carries its own history, so order, emphasis, wording and page breaks can move with the posting.
The document is event-sourced, which is what makes a branch cheap and the undo history real rather than a snapshot.
Whether an Enhancv master edit reaches copies you already made is not documented on any of its pages, so it sits here as unknown.
03Scoring
Checked block by block, not by template
Roleframe answers at the block: each finding says why it costs points, which wording is weak and which numbers are missing, on your own file, on the free tier. Enhancv scores your resume against a pasted ad the way an applicant tracking system would and shows a fix on each gap, with the in-builder check under Pro, and its published parse evidence sits a level above that, at the template.
An imported resume PDF is checked block by block as soon as you open it, before anything has been paid for, and every finding it raises carries a Fix with AI button that hands it to Remi.
Deterministic checks sit alongside the AI review, covering headings, dates, bullet clarity and parse risk in the layout.
Enhancv's own testing claims a 96.73% average parse score. Nothing here disputes it. The disagreement is about the unit of analysis.

04Tailoring
Read the posting, then fix what is missing
Paste a job description and Roleframe builds a tailored branch with a job match: keyword coverage with the specific gaps, live checks on every block marked Must fix, Should fix or Nice to have, and interview prep drawn from your own experience and that posting. Remi, the assistant in the editor sidebar, reads those checks, any section of your resume by name and the posting itself, then rewrites a section or a single bullet as a word-by-word diff that lands only when you approve it. Enhancv also tailors against a pasted ad and highlights every proposed change to accept or reject, so approval itself is parity. What differs is the block-by-block checks Remi has read before it proposes anything.
The job match names the terms that posting wants and your resume never uses, each one a finding you can fix or dismiss, and Remi closes a named gap with wording drawn from your real experience, never invented.
Fix with AI sits on every finding. Apply it and the block is checked again, and the live score moves by exactly what the finding cost.
A free account carries one tailored version with its job match, 50 live checks and a few runs of Remi, plus the job tracker, the recruiter and hiring-manager list and the capture extension, so the whole loop can be judged before anything is paid for.
The posting asks for it and your resume never mentions it.
Fix with AIDismiss
Meet Remi, your career copilot
An AI assistant that has read your resume and your report, and still asks before it changes a word.
Remi lives in the editor sidebar with your live checks already loaded: the score, every open finding, the keywords the posting asks for that you are missing, and the job itself. Ask what to fix first and it answers like a recruiter who switched sides, plainly, with a number instead of an adjective, and ends with the one thing worth doing next. Then it does it, one approved change at a time.
It reads the resume itself
No pasting into a chat box. Remi opens any section of the document you are about to send, by name.
It starts from your report
The score, every open finding and the reason behind each point come with it, so it knows what to fix first.
It knows the gaps by name
The keywords the posting asks for that your resume never uses, so a rewrite closes a specific one instead of guessing.
Fix with AI on every finding
One button hands a finding to Remi. Apply the fix and the block is checked again, and your score moves by exactly what the finding cost.
Every edit is a diff you approve
Word by word, what goes and what arrives, before anything touches the page. Approval is enforced in the tool, not by convention.
Practice interviews on demand
Questions written from your resume as it stands today, one at a time, with feedback on each answer and a score at the end.
Type or dictate. Nothing on the page changes until you press Apply edit
05Privacy
EU-based, and your resume is not training data
Roleframe is operated in the EU under the GDPR. It does not sell user data, and your personal resume content is not used to train general-purpose AI models. Live checks read each block as you edit, every other AI feature runs only when you trigger it, and every change Remi proposes lands at the point you approve it.
You can export and delete your data, and the capture extension reads a job page only at the moment you click it to save the posting.
Enhancv states its own GDPR compliance and EU-hosted models, so treat this as rough parity.
Its templates page says it never shares data or uses it for AI model training, while its pricing FAQ carves out trusted partners. Both are Enhancv's own words.

06Export
A real PDF, with no day eight
Roleframe's free tier has no window on it: unlimited PDF downloads with real selectable text, every template and every design control. Enhancv's seven days end in a download paywall rather than a lockout. You keep editing, the document stays on screen, and it stops leaving.
The PDF renders through the same pipeline as the editor, so the file matches what you saw on screen.
A free account carries one cover letter beside the resume, and the higher AI allowances sit on the paid plans.
Every application, and the resume that went with it.
Saved, applied, interviewing, offer. The board comes with a free account, and so does the contact list and the extension that fills it.
The version you actually sent, attached
Each role holds the tailored branch that went to it, so a callback three weeks later does not start with guessing which resume they read.
The people, beside the jobs
A contact tracker rather than a notes field: a recruiter links to every role you have with them, carries your own tags, and edits in place.
One click from the posting
The free Chrome extension files the job you are reading straight into the board, with the full description and the recruiter contacts kept alongside it.
The honest verdict
Which one is right for you.
Roleframe hands you the export free, checks the words inside the resume block by block and puts Remi beside the page to fix what it finds, while Enhancv designs the page and charges at the download.
RRoleframeBest overall
Choose Roleframe if
You want the PDF free. A free account opens the editor with no card, every template and every design control is open, and the download is real selectable text with no clock running against it.
You are tired of a dashboard of near-identical documents. One master branches into a tailored version per job, editing a branch never touches the others, and improving the master flows into the ones you tailored weeks ago.
You want the tool to name why each block loses points against the posting, before you export, then Remi, which has read those checks, your resume and the posting, to rewrite the weak section as a word-by-word diff you approve, with Fix with AI on every finding and the score moving as each one lands.
You want the working parts of a search included: the job tracker with the exact version you sent attached to each role, the recruiters and hiring managers kept beside it, the free extension that saves a posting in one click, and a practice interview Remi writes from the resume as it stands, one question at a time. Payment buys the AI. Your own document was never the thing behind it.
You would rather pay once. Premium covers a week, a month or three months for a single payment and never renews, so there is no subscription to cancel, no renewal to forget, and a 14-day money-back guarantee (2 days on the 1-week pass) behind it.
Choose it if the visual impression is part of the assessment. Brand marketing, design leadership, client-facing consulting, a founder's first hire: Strengths, Passions, Quotes and a My Time chart with slices you resize by hand are designed objects rather than text boxes.
Choose it if you want the postings found for you. Pro runs an AI job search across 1M+ live ads with a match score on each role.
Choose it if you apply across European markets. Enhancv translates a finished resume into 20 to 30+ languages by its own count, with formatting preserved, and runs its interface in 14 locales.
Where it stops
Downloads stop on day eight. Enhancv's own FAQ says that after the seven days pass, resume downloads are not possible unless you go pro, though you can still use the builder.
Inside those seven days, a free resume is capped at 12 section items, and the in-builder ATS check is listed under Pro.
A second version means Duplicate, a new version of the current resume that lands as a separate document on the dashboard, and Pro storage tops out at 300 resumes and cover letters.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Roleframe free?
Yes. A free account opens the resume editor with no card, every template and design control open, and the PDF has real selectable text. No day eight, no item cap. That account also saves your work and carries the job tracker, the contact list, the capture extension, one cover letter and a few full runs of Remi. Paid buys the AI: Premium is a one-time payment for a week, a month or three months with unlimited everyday AI, it never renews, and nothing is metered in credits.
What does Enhancv cost in practice?
Registration gives seven days of free use with no card. After that, Pro runs $39 a month, $69 a quarter or $99 for six months as of 2 September 2026, read from the pricing page's own structured data. The advertised $16.50 is the six-month rate divided by six, so the smallest single charge on offer is $69. Those US figures rose between June and July 2026, and Enhancv's help center still quotes a pre-increase number, so check enhancv.com/pricing before acting on anything here.
Can I move my Enhancv resume into Roleframe?
Download the PDF from Enhancv while the seven days are open, then import it. Roleframe turns a resume PDF into editable blocks with roles, dates and bullets in the right places, and checks every block as soon as you open it, with Fix with AI on each finding it raises. The words come across. The designed pieces do not: a My Time chart is a chart, and a Roleframe custom section can carry that content as text once you add it. Importing uses the free tier's one resume slot.
Will a Roleframe resume pass an ATS?
The file gives a parser nothing to trip on. An applicant tracking system (ATS) reads the file, and the file is exactly the document you built: the PDF renders that same document as real selectable text rather than a picture of a page. Every template keeps standard section headings and a clean reading order, and every template is on the free plan. Roleframe checks every block for parse risk, structure, headings and keyword alignment against the posting you paste, and Remi fixes any finding as a diff you approve.
What does Remi do inside Roleframe's editor?
Remi is the assistant in the editor sidebar, working on the document you have open. It reads any section by name, the resume's checks and the linked posting. Ask for a rewrite and it shows a word-by-word diff; nothing lands until you approve it. Fix with AI sits on every finding, and applying one moves the score by what that finding cost. Remi also runs a practice interview from the resume as it stands, one question at a time, feedback on each answer, a score at the end.
Is Enhancv ever the better choice?
Yes, where the visual read is part of the hire. Its Strengths, Quotes and My Time sections are designed layouts; Roleframe's custom sections carry that content as text. Choose it for that read, or for Pro's job feed with a match score per listing. Tracking is not on that list. Enhancv's tracker is free with an account, as are Roleframe's tracker, contact list and capture extension. Otherwise Roleframe is the default: free export, no clock, every block checked, and Remi fixing what it finds as a diff you approve.
Do I lose anything by starting free?
Not in the editor. The free tier is the whole editor with every template and full design control, plus unlimited PDF downloads, the job tracker, the contact list and the capture extension, and no expiry on any of it. What it limits is volume: one master resume, one tailored version, one cover letter, one resume import, and a few full AI runs, Remi included, so the quality can be judged before paying. Nothing you build ends up behind a payment later.
