Roleframe vs Huntr
free at the half Huntr sells

Roleframe's editor opens with no account and the PDF is free and unwatermarked. The half Huntr sells is the tailoring: free stops at two job-tailored resumes and Pro is $40 a month. One master branches into a tailored version per job, every section comes back scored against the posting, and Remi fixes any finding as a word-by-word diff you approve. A tracker, a contact list and a one-click capture extension sit beside it, free. Pick Huntr if the portals are the bottleneck.

Why people switch

The features that do the work.

Roleframe gives the document half away and tracks the search beside it, so here are six places, from the editor through Remi to the export, where the half Huntr charges for works differently.

01Editor

A canvas under the template

Roleframe works a level below the template. Blocks drag and drop inside the live document, you decide where each page turns, and fonts, spacing and colors are yours on every plan including the anonymous one. Huntr ships seven templates and a Layout & Style tab for section order, font size, page size, line height and margins.

40 section layouts, so one Experience block can be arranged several ways inside an ATS-safe envelope.
Custom sections with use-case presets, and the document itself in front of you.
Every template and every design control is on the free tier, and on the no-account path as well.

02Branches

One master, a version per posting

Halfway through a search a recruiter tells you that "platform migration" lands better than "infrastructure work". On Roleframe that rewrite goes into the master once and the branches inherit it, older ones included. On Huntr, a tailored resume is a customized copy of a base resume, and whether later base edits reach it is undocumented.

Editing one branch leaves the master and every sibling untouched.
The document is a log of typed changes, which is what makes a branch a diff instead of a duplicate.
The tailored version stays attached to the job it was made for, on the board that is already here.

03Scoring

Scored by section, not by document

Roleframe scores each section on its own and names the reason it drops points, the weak wording behind it and the figures that are missing, so the applicant tracking system (ATS) read arrives as a list of edits. Huntr's resume score is one number built from section completion, content quality and length, with guidance to aim for around 80. Around 80 by fixing what, exactly.

The summary and the skills block each get their own verdict, with the weak bullet named inside it.
Deterministic checks run beside the AI review: headings, dates, titles and layout parse risk.
Importing a resume runs the analysis without being asked, on a free account, and every finding it raises carries a Fix with AI button that hands it to Remi.

04Keywords

See the terms the posting wants

Roleframe reads the posting text and returns coverage with the specific gaps named, then a prioritized plan that says which fix is worth doing first, then interview questions drawn from the experience already on the page. Remi, the assistant in the editor sidebar, has read that report, any section of your resume by name and the posting itself, and rewrites a section or a single bullet as a word-by-word diff that lands only when you approve it. Huntr's Job Match Score reports keyword, qualifications and responsibilities coverage as poor, fair or great, and Resume Tailor asks you to accept, tweak or ignore each suggestion, so approval itself is a tie. What differs is what Remi has read before it proposes anything.

The gaps arrive as terms your resume never uses, rather than a rating on their own, and Remi closes a named gap with wording drawn from your real experience, never invented.
Fix with AI sits on every finding in the report. Apply it and that finding is marked resolved, and the live score moves by exactly what it cost.
A manual path returns the identical report with nothing rewritten, for hand-tailoring against it, and once the resume is ready Remi runs a practice interview from it as it stands, one question at a time, with a score at the end.

Keyword coverage against a pasted job description, with the terms the resume is missing

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 analysis 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 it is marked resolved, and your score moves by exactly what it 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 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), does not sell user data, and does not use your resume content to train general-purpose AI models. AI runs only when you ask it to, and every change Remi proposes waits as a word-by-word diff for your approval. Huntr also states it will never sell personal data.

Every change Remi proposes is a diff you accept or discard, one at a time, and Discard costs nothing.
You can export and delete your data, and a GDPR request goes to an EU company.
AI features fire on an explicit action, never quietly in the background.

06Export

Free at the download button

Roleframe's editor opens without an account and the PDF comes out with real selectable text, no watermark and no branding of any kind, on the anonymous path as well as the paid one. Huntr's free plan exports a PDF too; what differs is that it wants the account before you start.

The PDF renders from the document you edited, so what you arranged is what downloads.
A private share link collects feedback on a draft without a file changing hands.
The anonymous path is held by rate limiting, so signing in is never the stricter option.

The tracker

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 Roleframe job tracker: a pipeline bar with per-stage counts above rows grouped by status, showing the Job Position, Company, Max. Salary, Location, Status, Date Saved, Deadline, Date Applied, Follow up and Excitement columns

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 gives away the half Huntr sells, keeps a board, a contact tracker and a capture extension around it, and puts Remi in the editor to fix what the section scores find; Huntr is the pick when employers' portal forms are the work.

RRoleframeBest overall

Choose Roleframe if

The half you would pay Huntr for opens with no account, no card and no trial, and the free plan still carries the board, the contact tracker and the capture extension.
One master branches into a version per job, and a fix to the master reaches the branches you already made, rather than a growing set of copies that drift.
The ATS read names the section and the sentence losing points. Remi has read that report, your resume and the posting, rewrites the weak line as a word-by-word diff you approve, fixes any finding with one button, and runs a practice interview from the resume as it stands.
The layout belongs in your hands: block drag and drop, 40 section layouts and page breaks you place, on the free plan and on the anonymous one.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the Roleframe editor free all the way through the PDF?

Yes, including the download. The editor opens at /resume-builder with no account, every template and every design control included, and the PDF that comes out has real selectable text and no watermark. Cover letter templates are browsable signed out, and writing one takes a free account. That free account also saves your work across devices and adds the job tracker, the contact tracker, the Chrome extension, one master resume, one tailored branch, one cover letter and a few full runs of Remi. Premium is unlimited everyday AI, priced on /pricing.

What does Huntr cost in practice?

As of 2026-09-02, Huntr Pro is $40 a month, $90 every three months or $160 every six, per huntr.co/pricing. There is no annual interval and the page states there is no free trial. What Pro buys is the resume layer: unlimited job-tailored resumes and AI cover letters, and the advanced scoring and matching that the free plan leaves basic. Roleframe's free answer is the editor and the watermark-free download with no account, one tailored branch with its full report, five fit checks and a few full runs of Remi, with unlimited everyday AI on Premium, priced on /pricing. It also keeps its own board, contact tracker and capture extension on the free plan, so the tailoring allowance is the only line item in contention.

Can I move my Huntr resume into Roleframe?

Yes. Huntr exports a PDF on its free plan. Roleframe imports a resume PDF and hands it back as editable blocks, with roles, dates and bullets in the right places, then runs the section analysis on it automatically, with Fix with AI on each finding it raises. A free Roleframe account includes one import, and that import fills the free resume slot.

Will a Roleframe resume pass an ATS?

It is built to. An applicant tracking system (ATS) reads the file, and the file is exactly the document you built: the PDF is a render of that same document, not a second approximate layout, and it exports as real selectable text rather than a picture of a page. Roleframe then scores each section for parse risk, structure, headings and keyword alignment against the posting you paste, so you fix named problems instead of nudging one overall number upward, and Remi rewrites any of them as a diff you approve.

Does Roleframe rewrite my resume, or do I approve each change?

You approve each change, and nothing applies until you do. Remi, the assistant in the editor sidebar, reads any section of your resume by name, the report and the linked posting, then shows a rewrite as a word-by-word diff. Fix with AI sits on every finding, and applying one marks it resolved and moves the live score by what it cost. Huntr's Resume Tailor asks you to accept, tweak or ignore each suggestion with its reason attached, so approval is a tie; what Remi has read first is the difference.

Is Huntr ever the better choice?

For one kind of search, yes. If your day is portal after portal, Huntr's extension fills employers' application forms where Roleframe's captures the posting instead, and that is the largest single time saving on the table. It also ships iOS and Android builds for logging from a phone, and an institutional product for bootcamps and universities. Keep Huntr free for the forms if that is your day. The document still belongs on Roleframe, which is the default for every application: the editor opens with no account, the PDF costs nothing, a board, a contact tracker and one-click capture are already on the free plan, every section comes back scored, and Remi fixes what it finds as a diff you approve.

Do I lose anything by starting free?

Not on the document. Every template, every design control and unlimited watermark-free PDF downloads are identical on the free tier, and the job tracker, the contact tracker and the Chrome extension arrive with a free account. What free caps is volume: one master resume, one tailored branch with its full report, one cover letter and a few full runs of Remi, which is enough to judge the output before paying. Premium is unlimited everyday AI, and the one-time Lifetime plan runs on a generous daily allowance instead. There is no credit system, no balance and no per-run charge.
