I created my first (and only) resume with Kickresume, and it went really smooth. I didn't really know anything about the "unwritten" rules of writing a CV and Kickresume gives tips all throughout the process. What I really found useful is to create a section (like the profile for example) with AI first – so that I know how it's supposed to look like. I didn't end up using the text, but I did follow the structure and content. Same with work experience bullets. Then I just wrote my own, knowing how it should look like.
I also appreciate that you can create a custom resume section, so I did a whole section where I listed my newsletters along with the stats (like open rate, click rate..). I didn't see that with other resume tools.
I tried the Checker too – even though it's meant for an ATS check (which I didn't really need), it gave me some general formatting suggestions which can be useful for any resume.
Some of the templates have a lot of pre-set white space. But you can adjust the font/spacing to able to fit the text on one page.
I saw that it has a Tailoring feature. So you can copy and paste a specific job ad and it "tailors" your resume to make it a good match for that job. Btw, it worked really well. Needed some editing, but it thought of things I didn't initially. Nice touch :)
Oh, and it's also cheaper than other resume writing tools...
Kickresume helped me get a job. And if that alone isn't an endorsement enough, I can add that the resume builder is very easy to use (this is the part I have most experience with), the resume templates are pretty customizable and look good, and the overall package is great value. I mean, most of these resume building apps are the same (I tested a bunch because that's what I like to do with my precious time) but I liked Kickresume the best. It had a lot to do with the fact that Kickresume was the only one where I didn't feel like they were trying to rip me off. They seem like a cool company and I like supporting cool companies. Overall, a great product for a fair price. 10/10 would recommend.
I'd love to see more minimalistic templates. Also, while Kickresume's AI feels better than your average ChatGPT, it's still an AI. It can be helpful, just don't expect miracles.
Enhancv was my other top contender, but I liked Kickresume's templates a bit more. I couldn't stand Zety's user experience. Teal was good and seemed really powerful, but I a bit too complex for my taste. In the end, I wasn't willing to invest time into learning another complex software. It was the same thing with Canva - useful but it does too much and I only needed a resume, not another can-do-everything app.
Hi Seijin,
Thanks for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the confusion. To clarify: every Premium subscription—paid or gifted—has a soft AI usage limit. This limit only exists to protect our app from bot abuse. 99% of users never reach it, and if someone does, they automatically receive a notification to contact us. When that happens, our support team is always happy to add more credits or lift the limit entirely—no questions asked.
Gifted Premium includes full access to Premium features, and the AI limit is the same safeguard applied to all Premium plans. Still, we understand how this could feel unclear, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
If you need more credits or want the limit lifted for the rest of your Premium period, just reach out and we’ll take care of it right away :)
