Resumello vs Zety
Zety is one of the most popular subscription resume builders, known for polished templates and step-by-step guidance.
Zety is a polished product with a mature editor, and if you want hand-holding from a big brand it works. The catch is the model: building is free, downloading is not, and the $1.95 trial becomes $25.95 every four weeks until you cancel. Resumello charges less than one of those renewal cycles, once, for everything.
Resumello, 2 years
$19.99
one payment, and the 2 years after that are included too
Zety, 2 years
~$675
on the recurring 4-week plan; ~$143 on two annual plans
How Zety pricing works
- $1.95 for a 14-day trial that auto-renews at $25.95 every 4 weeks (13 charges per year, not 12)
- Annual plan around $71.40 billed upfront
- Free plan lets you build but only download an unformatted plain-text file
Pricing as of June 2026, from public pricing pages and current reviews. Always check Zety's site for today's prices.
