Why it works this way
Auto-pause, not auto-renewal
Most resume tools keep charging you long after you've landed the job. GradCompass pauses your subscription automatically after 30 days of no activity — you'll get an email, not a surprise charge on your statement.
Never a locked score
Every free scan shows the full 4-category breakdown — not a teaser number that demands a card to explain itself. You should be able to trust a tool before you pay for it.
No trial traps
No $1.95-for-14-days that quietly jumps to $25 a month. What you see here is the actual, permanent price — nothing changes after signup.
A job search is finite
The Lifetime option exists because most job searches end — and shouldn't leave you paying a monthly fee for a tool you no longer need. Pay once if that's how you'd rather think about it.
