Roleframe branches one master resume into a tailored version per job, each with live checks on every block, a job match and the keywords you are missing, and Remi, the assistant in the editor sidebar, fixes any finding as a word-by-word diff you approve. The PDF is free, and a job tracker, a contact tracker and a one-click capture extension sit around it, free. FlowCV's per-job workflow starts at Pro, $60 a year as of September 2026; pick it if one resume is all you send.

Pricing & access
A tailored version per job application
Yes: Every application is a branch off the master, unlimited on the paid plans.
Partial or qualified: Duplicate is the workflow, and it runs into the one-resume limit until you buy Pro.
Unlimited PDF downloads on the free plan
Yes: Unlimited, with real selectable text and every template.
Yes: Unlimited PDF downloads, with every template, on the free plan.
Resumes on the free plan
Yes: One master resume and cover letter plus one tailored branch off it.
Yes: One resume and one cover letter; a downgrade keeps extras saved but locks them.
Resume imports on the free plan
Yes: One import, which lands as editable blocks and is checked block by block as soon as you open it.
Yes: Three imports by file upload, on the free plan.
Editor & templates
Start from a blank page and drag the layout together
Yes: Drag sections onto an empty page and set spacing, columns and page breaks yourself. Every design control is on the free plan.
Partial or qualified: A rich-text content panel with live preview and a design panel down to percentage column widths; a blank-page canvas you drag the layout onto is not documented.
Per-section layout library
Yes: 40 section layouts, so one Experience block can be arranged several ways inside an ATS-safe envelope.
Partial or qualified: Entry structure switches between full width and columns; per-section layout variants are not documented.
Editor model
Yes: A block editor with drag and drop and the live document in front of you.
Yes: Four panels: rich-text content with a live preview, customization, AI and download.
Full design control on the free plan
Yes: Fonts, spacing, colors, per-section layouts and page breaks you place yourself, on every plan.
Yes: Full design customization free, including percentage column widths and manual page breaks.
Tailoring & ATS
Paste a job description, tailor the resume
Yes: Paste the posting and the tailoring runs against that listing, on a branch of its own.
Partial or qualified: FlowCV's AI page lists job requirement matching under coming soon.
Resume score and keyword gaps
Yes: Live checks on every block with a score out of 100, a job match with the missing keywords named, and interview prep from your own history.
No: No resume score, match rate or keyword gap list; FlowCV's ATS language is about clean text export.
Edits to the master reach tailored versions
Yes: Improving the master can flow into the branches you already sent.
No: A duplicate is an independent document by definition, so nothing links it back.
AI writing help inside the editor
Yes: Remi, in the editor sidebar, reads any section by name, its checks and the posting, then rewrites a section or one bullet as a word-by-word diff that lands only when you approve it. Fix with AI on any finding works the same way, and a free account gets a few full runs.
Partial or qualified: The AI tools are Pro features, Improve Writing among them.
Interview prep from the resume you are sending
Yes: Interview prep comes from your own history and that posting, and Remi runs a practice interview from the resume as it stands, one question at a time, feedback on each answer, a score at the end.
Partial or qualified: FlowCV's AI page lists AI resume coach under coming soon, and the tracker's Interview column is a pipeline stage, not preparation.
Cover letter drafted against the posting
Yes: Written against the posting and your own history, one on a free account.
Partial or qualified: Draft Cover Letter does take a pasted job description, and it sits on Pro.
What meters the AI
Yes: No credit balance and no per-run price. Premium includes unlimited everyday AI under fair use.
Partial or qualified: Pro AI runs against an undisclosed soft limit for AI credits, with an address to write to for more.
Export & sharing
Application tracker
Yes: Saved through offer on a free account, with the branch you sent attached to the role.
Partial or qualified: A Kanban board with per-job fields and file uploads, on Pro on the plan sold today.
Contact tracking beside the jobs
Yes: A contact tracker of its own: a recruiter or hiring manager links to every role you have with them, carries your tags and edits in place, on a free account.
No: The Kanban card carries per-job fields and file uploads; no contact record of its own is documented.
One-click capture of a posting
Yes: A free Chrome extension files the posting you are reading, with recruiter and hiring-manager contacts, fields editable before saving.
No: No browser extension is referenced in the app or on FlowCV's tracker page.
Share the resume as a link
Yes: Private share links for collecting feedback on a version.
Yes: An Online Resume publishes at a flowcv.com link, with an optional download button and indexing control.
Six places where Roleframe carries the resume past its first version, and where a one-document builder stops.
01Editor
The layout decision lives in the section
Roleframe puts the layout decision inside the section, drawn from a library of 40 arrangements, so one Experience block can be set up several ways without leaving an ATS-safe envelope. Underneath, the document is a log of typed changes, not a finished file. FlowCV's design panel acts on the whole document instead: fonts, spacing, accent color, column widths.
Custom sections with use-case presets, page breaks you place yourself, and full design control on every plan.
That change log is what makes a branch cheap to create and what makes undo and history real rather than a snapshot hack.
The PDF renders from the document you edited, so what you arranged is what downloads.
02Branches
One master resume, a version per job
Roleframe keeps one master per role and treats each application as a branch that stays attached to it, and the free tracker points at that branch, not at an uploaded copy. FlowCV's per-job path is Duplicate, sold with Pro as a way to tailor applications for different roles, and a duplicate is an independent document, so the fourth copy never hears about the bullet you sharpened in the first.
Editing a branch never touches the master or the branches beside it.
Sharpen a line on the master and the improvement can reach versions you already sent.
Both tools charge for the multi-application version; what differs is what arrives when you pay.
03Scoring
Checked block by block
Roleframe checks every block as you edit, with the reason each finding costs points, the weak wording behind it and the numbers that are missing, before you send anything. FlowCV has no resume score, no match rate and no keyword coverage; its ATS language is about the exported file being clean enough for parsers to read.
Deterministic checks sit beside the AI review: headings, dates, titles and layout parse risk.
The summary and the skills block each get their own verdict, with the weak wording and the missing numbers named.
An imported resume is checked as soon as you open it, without being asked, and every finding it raises carries a Fix with AI button that hands it to Remi.

04Keywords
See the terms the posting asks for
Two postings can carry the same title and want different things. Roleframe names the terms the posting wants and your resume never uses, then Remi, the assistant in the editor sidebar, closes them with the checks, any section of the resume and the listing already read. It rewrites a section or a single bullet as a word-by-word diff, and nothing lands until you approve it. FlowCV's own AI page files Match Job Requirements and its job requirements matcher under coming soon.
Keyword coverage arrives with the specific gaps named, and Remi closes a named gap with wording drawn from your real experience, never invented.
Every finding is marked Must fix, Should fix or Nice to have, so you know what to do first, and Fix with AI hands it to Remi; apply the fix and the block is checked again, with the live score moving by exactly what the finding cost.
Interview prep is built from the experience already on the page and what that listing is likely to probe, and Remi runs a practice interview from the resume as it stands, one question at a time, with a score at the end.
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
Your history, and your approval on every edit
Roleframe runs in the EU under the GDPR, does not sell user data, and does not use your resume content to train general-purpose AI models. Every edit Remi proposes waits for your approval as a word-by-word diff, so the wording stays yours. FlowCV says it is privacy-first and GDPR compliant and does not sell personal data; its privacy policy, valid since November 2023, names no AI processing.
Remi proposes one change at a time, approval is enforced inside the tool itself, and Discard costs nothing.
Live checks read each block as you edit; every other AI feature runs on an explicit action.
You can export and delete your data, and GDPR requests go to an EU company.

06Export
A real PDF on every plan
Roleframe's resume editor and its PDF cost nothing: no card, every template and every design control included, on a free account that never expires. FlowCV's free PDF costs nothing too.
A free account opens the editor with no card.
Real selectable text and every template, on every plan.
Downloads are unlimited on the free plan, so a revision costs nothing to export again.
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 wins the moment one resume stops being enough, which is the first posting that wants something different.
RRoleframeBest overall
Choose Roleframe if
One master resume branches into a tailored version per job, and sharpening a bullet on the master can reach the versions you already sent.
The posting itself moves the resume, with a job match, the keywords you are missing and live checks on every block, and Fix with AI on every finding, which moves the live score by what the finding cost.
Remi has read your resume, its checks and that posting before it proposes anything, shows each rewrite as a word-by-word diff you approve, and runs a practice interview from the resume as it stands, one question at a time, with a score at the end.
The tracked application points at the live tailored branch, not a file uploaded beside it, with recruiters kept beside the roles and the posting saved in one click by a free Chrome extension.
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 one resume is the whole job: the export is unconditional, watermark-free and free, with no card and no trial that converts.
Choose it if the look decides it: over a hundred free templates and design control down to percentage column widths, all on the free plan.
Choose it if you write right to left: FlowCV lays out any language with custom section labels, Arabic and Hebrew included.
Where it stops
One resume on the free plan, and Duplicate runs straight into that limit, so the per-job workflow starts at Pro, $60 a year as of September 2026.
Resume-level job matching carries FlowCV's own coming soon label on its AI page, and the app has no resume score, match rate or keyword-gap report beside it.
The tracker is Pro on the plan sold today, its Kanban cards hold per-job fields and file uploads, not a contact record of their own, and no browser extension is referenced in the app or on the tracker page.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Roleframe free?
Yes, and the exports are unlimited. A free account opens the resume editor with every template and every design control included, and the PDF has real selectable text. No card is needed, and the free account never expires. The same free Roleframe account saves your work and carries the job tracker, the contact tracker, the Chrome extension, one tailored branch, one cover letter and a few full runs of Remi.
What does FlowCV cost in practice?
The free plan is free forever with no credit card, covering one resume, one cover letter, three imports and unlimited watermark-free downloads. Anything per-job sits above that. As of 2 September 2026, Pro is $60 billed yearly, and month to month costs more: FlowCV's public pricing endpoint returned 19.00 € on an EU request that day. FlowCV prices by country, and students get 25% off for three years on a verified university email. Roleframe's editor, templates and PDF cost nothing on any plan, and Premium is a one-time payment with no auto-renewal.
Can I move my FlowCV resume into Roleframe?
Yes, and FlowCV makes it cleaner than most exits. Its free download is an unwatermarked PDF with real text, not an image, which is the easiest thing to parse back. Send that through the import and the roles, dates and bullets land as editable blocks that are checked as soon as you open them, and Fix with AI on each finding hands it to Remi. The allowances run opposite ways: FlowCV gives three imports on free, Roleframe one, and that one fills your resume slot.
Will a Roleframe resume pass an ATS?
Yes. An applicant tracking system (ATS) reads the file, and the file is the document you built: the PDF is a render of it, not a second approximate layout, and it exports as real selectable text, not a picture of a page. Every template keeps standard headings and clean reading order. 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. FlowCV describes its export as clean text; it never scores it.
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 of a section or a single bullet and it shows a word-by-word diff; nothing lands until you approve it. Fix with AI sits on every finding, and Remi runs a practice interview from the resume as it stands, with a score at the end. A free account includes a few full runs. FlowCV's AI tools are Pro features.
Is FlowCV ever the better choice?
Yes, in three cases. If one resume is the whole job, FlowCV's free plan exports it with no card, no trial and no watermark. If the look decides it, its templates page counts 100+ free templates and its design controls reach further than Roleframe's. If you write in Arabic or Hebrew, FlowCV lays it out right to left. From the second posting on, Roleframe is the default: the resume branches per job with live checks on every block, Remi fixes each finding as a diff you approve, and the tracker comes free.
Do I lose anything by starting free?
Not in the editor. Every template and every design control are the same on the free tier as on the paid one, PDF downloads are unlimited on both, and the tracker and Chrome extension come with a free account. What free caps is volume: one master resume, one tailored branch, one cover letter, one import and a few full runs of Remi. Premium lifts those counts and adds unlimited everyday AI for a one-time payment, with no auto-renewal. There is no credit meter.
