Roleframe vs Teal a branch per job beats a filtered view
Every Roleframe application gets a real branch of the document rather than a view of one stored list. Paste the posting and the live checks name each block's losses and the keyword gaps, then Remi, your career copilot, rewrites any section or bullet against it as a word-by-word diff you approve before it lands, fixes any finding with one button, and runs a practice interview from the resume as it stands. The PDF is free, with real selectable text. Keep Teal where you want the posting found for you.

01Editor
You edit the page you send
Roleframe opens on the document itself: drag a block, place a page break, pick from 40 section layouts, and watch the page you will send change as you edit. Teal's builder is form fields and toggles rendered into Teal's own templates, and its guide asks for 15 to 20 bullet points per position before tailoring starts.
Block-level drag and drop with a live preview of the page that downloads.
40 section layouts and custom sections with presets, on the free plan, where Teal holds Advanced Designer settings for Teal+.
Every template is free here; Teal's pricing page puts 10 of its library on the free plan.
02Branches
One master resume, a version per job
Roleframe copies the document. A branch carries its own edit history, so one application can reorder Experience, rewrite a bullet to name the stack in the posting, and move a page break, while the master stays clean. Teal's help center is direct about the other model: you are not editing your main resume, you are creating a view of it.
Editing a branch never touches the master or the applications you already sent, and the branch you sent stays attached to that role in the tracker.
Master improvements flow into the branches, which Teal does too through Resume Syncing, so that part is a tie.
A workspace per career direction, where Teal keeps both directions in one merged history.
03Live checks
Checked block by block
Roleframe names the block losing points, what is thin about the wording there, and which numbers are missing, before you send it. Teal returns a Resume Score it recommends keeping at 60% or above, plus rule-based issue cards; clearing the time-based metric card takes two bullets in the format it provides.
Live checks cover keyword alignment, structure, bullet clarity, formatting parse risk and date consistency, and an imported resume is checked as soon as you open it.
Fix with AI sits on every finding: Remi proposes the fix, and applying it moves the live score by exactly what the finding cost.
Teal's advanced Resume Analyzer cards sit on Teal+, with the basic cards on the free plan.

04Tailoring
Read the posting, then name the gaps
Roleframe reads the posting and returns the terms that listing wants and your resume never uses, each one a finding marked by what to fix first, then Remi, your career copilot, writes them in with you. Teal color-codes keywords green and red and can generate a bullet for a missing one, with the top 5 surfaced free and the full list on Teal+.
Nothing is capped by keyword count here: a tailoring run returns the whole read, and it is the number of runs a free account is limited to.
Remi has read the resume outline, its checks and the posting you pasted, so it rewrites a section or a single bullet against the job as a word-by-word diff and closes a named keyword gap with wording from your real experience. Nothing lands until you approve it.
Ask for a practice interview and Remi writes one from the resume as it stands, one question at a time with feedback on each answer and a score at the end, beside the interview prep a tailored version already carries.
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 document, under EU rules
Roleframe runs from Poland under the GDPR, your resume content is not used to train general-purpose AI models, and the edit model is yours: Remi runs only when you ask it to, and nothing it drafts lands until you approve it, one change at a time. Teal's terms say the same about training, so that part is parity.
Live checks read each block as you edit; every other AI feature fires on an explicit action.
Every change Remi proposes arrives as a word-by-word diff, and you approve or discard it, one edit at a time.
Data export and deletion are yours to run under the GDPR, and Roleframe does not sell user data.

06Export
A real PDF on every plan
Roleframe's PDF downloads are unlimited, with real selectable text, and each is a render of the same document you laid out. Teal's free plan exports unlimited resumes too.
The PDF is a render of the same document, so what you laid out is what downloads.
Every template and every design control reach the download on the free plan.
A private link shares the document for comments; Teal's help center documents export as the way to get the file out.
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 changes the document between two applications, checks it block by block and puts Remi beside it to write the fix, which is the pick wherever the resume is the part you keep rewriting; Teal takes it where you want the posting found for you in the same tab.
RRoleframeBest overall
Choose Roleframe if
You want to build a real resume and download the PDF with real selectable text right now, with no card and every template and design control included.
The tailored version should differ in more than which bullets are switched on: a branch is a real copy of the document, with its own order, emphasis and page breaks.
You want the checks to name the block losing points, then Remi, which has read those checks and the posting, to rewrite it with you as a word-by-word diff you approve, with Fix with AI on every finding and a practice interview written from the resume as it stands.
You keep two career directions alive at once and want each to have its own master resume and its own branches, with the tracker, the contact tracker and the free capture extension around them, and those three on every plan.
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 Teal if the search itself is the bottleneck rather than the document and you want its specific pieces: a checklist on every application, a company tracker beside the contacts and follow-up reminders from its extension.
Choose Teal if finding a role and tailoring to it in one tab matters more than how the document is built. It runs its own job board.
Choose Teal if you have never written a resume bullet and want a prewritten phrase to start from.
Where it stops
The tailored resume is a selection from one stored pool, and the layout stays inside the Teal template you picked: Teal's FAQ says the builder uses only its own templates and has no dedicated References section.
The pool has to exist before any tailoring starts. Teal's guide asks for 15 to 20 bullet points per position, every skill and certification, and two or three summary variations first.
Free accounts sit on 10 templates, Basic Designer settings, the top 5 surfaced keywords and a one-time pot of AI credits Teal calls non-renewable, per its pricing page and help center.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Roleframe free?
Yes. A free account opens the resume editor with no card, every template and every design control included, and the PDF downloads are unlimited, with real selectable text. That account also saves your work across devices and carries the job tracker, the contact tracker, the Chrome extension, one master resume, one tailored branch, one cover letter, 50 live checks and a few full runs of Remi to judge the quality before paying. Premium buys everyday AI with no credit meter for a one-time payment, with no auto-renewal.
What does Teal cost in practice?
As of 2026-09-02, Teal+ is $13 every 7 days, $29 every 30 days or $79 every 90 days on tealhq.com/pricing. The terms list an annual period with no published price, and there is no card-required trial. Price a real search rather than the per-day framing: thirteen weeks on the weekly plan is thirteen charges of $13, which is $169, against $79 for the same 90 days on quarterly.
Can I move my Teal resume into Roleframe?
Export the PDF from Teal, which its free plan allows, then import that file into Roleframe and it comes back as editable blocks with roles, dates and bullets in the right places. Every block is checked as soon as you open the import, so you land on a scored document with Fix with AI on every finding, and Remi can open any section by name from there. On the free plan an import fills your one resume slot.
Will a Roleframe resume pass an ATS?
It gives an ATS nothing to trip on. An applicant tracking system (ATS) reads the file, and that file is the document you built: the PDF renders the same document rather than a second approximate layout, as real selectable text. Every template keeps standard headings and a clean reading order, and all are on the free plan. Roleframe checks every block for parse risk, structure and keyword alignment against the posting you paste, and Fix with AI on each finding hands it to Remi, so problems are fixed before you send; Teal's advanced analyzer cards sit on Teal+.
Is Teal ever the better choice?
Sometimes. Roleframe tracks the search too, on the free plan: saved, applied, interviewing and offer with the exact version you sent attached to each role, a contact tracker where a person links to every role you have with them, and a free Chrome extension that files the posting you are reading in one click. What Teal adds is discovery. It runs its own job board, so a posting can be found and tailored to in one tab, and its tracker carries checklists and a company tracker, and its extension sets follow-up reminders. If the postings are your bottleneck, that is a real reason to keep Teal open. For the document itself, with Remi to write the fix on every finding as a diff you approve and a practice interview from the resume as it stands, Roleframe is the default.
Do I lose anything by starting free?
Nothing in the editor. Every template, every design control, page breaks, 40 section layouts and unlimited PDF downloads sit on the free path, and the free account never expires. What free limits is volume and AI: one master resume, one tailored branch, one cover letter, 50 live checks and a few full runs of Remi. The job tracker, the contact tracker and the Chrome extension are not rationed by plan at all. Premium is unlimited everyday AI and there is no credit system anywhere in the product, so nothing you built is held back at the download.
