What Teal Offers Beyond Scanning

Teal includes a few features SkillSyncer does not have. Whether they justify the higher price depends on your needs:

Full resume builder with templates. Useful if you are starting from scratch, but unnecessary if you already have a resume.
Cover letter generator. AI-generated cover letters alongside your resume.
Free tier. Basic resume building only; keyword scanning requires a paid plan.

Where SkillSyncer Stands Out

SkillSyncer matches Teal's core features and adds a few Teal does not have:

Half the price. $14.95/month vs $29 for the same keyword scanning, ATS checking, and job tracking.
Auto-optimize. One click to update your resume with missing keywords. Teal does not have this.
Simpler workflow. Paste your resume, paste the job description, scan, optimize, apply.

The Bottom Line

For job seekers who already have a resume, SkillSyncer delivers keyword scanning and optimization at half the cost, with a faster workflow.

Teal makes sense if you need to build a resume from scratch AND want AI cover letters AND prefer everything in one tool.
