Against the two closest products.
Both are live, both are larger than this one, and both are good at what they were built for. Neither was built for this. Every number below comes from their own pricing and help center pages or from independent reviews, and it is dated. LinkedIn, Indeed and the rest are further down the page, and so are the AI job agents, because each is a different kind of thing and belongs on its own chart.

| Browser extension and form autofill | None | Yes, free | Yes, free |
The last row is on this chart on purpose. A comparison where one column wins every line is an advertisement, not a comparison. Huntr and Careerflow both ship a browser extension with form autofill, both free, and neither of those things can exist here without a server and an account.
And LinkedIn, Indeed and the rest?
They are not on the chart above because they are not the same kind of product. A job board is where a posting comes from. Rolespect is what happens to that posting before you spend an evening on it. You want both, in that order.
| LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiterThe job boards | After you find oneRolespect | |
|---|---|---|
| Where postings come from | Their own listings, at a scale nothing else matches | None. You bring a posting you already found |
| Confirms the requisition is still open | No. A listing page keeps rendering after the seat is filled | Checked against the employer's own careers page before it is scored |
| Ghost job screening | None | Eight weighted signals, printed with the verdict |
| Your pay floor | A search filter, which drops any posting that hides its range | A hard gate. Below the floor does not clear, and a hidden range is its own flag |
| Tells you a role is not worth applying to | No | Apply, Investigate First, or Pass, with the rule that produced it |
| What one press does | Sends the application | Decides whether the application is worth sending |
| Which board produced your interviews | Not reported | Reported, once five applications back it |
| Finding roles you have not seen | Their entire business, and they are good at it | Nothing of its own. Scout writes a brief for an assistant to run |
The last row is the point. Rolespect has no listings and never will, so a search that starts here does not exist. Bring what the boards find. The two ends of that are not competing for the same press.
And the AI job agents?
A newer kind of product puts an agent between you and the employer. One kind applies for you. Another kind introduces you. Both do things a job board does not, and neither is the same kind of thing as this. Keep whichever one you use, and bring what it sends you to Decide before you spend the evening on it.
| Decides with youRolespect | Introduces youJack & Jill | Applies for youJobright | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Returns Apply, Investigate First, or Pass on a posting you bring | A career agent talks with you, matches roles, and asks the employer for an introduction | An agent matches roles, tailors your resume to each one and submits the application |
| Who pays | Nobody. No paid tier | Employers, and only when you are hired. Free to you | You, on the paid tier. Free with daily limits, then Turbo at $49.99 a month list, with timed offers down to $29.99. Employers also pay $499 a recruiter a month for its recruiting side |
| Account required | No | Yes | Yes |
| Where your record lives | Your browser. No server to upload to | Their servers | Their servers |
| Writes and sends the application | Never. You send every one, and it names a gap instead of writing past it | It introduces you, or shows you the role to apply to yourself | Yes. Tailors the resume, fills the forms and submits |
| Tells you a role is not worth applying to | Apply, Investigate First, or Pass, with the rule that produced it | None. A match percentage on each role | None. A match score |
| Confirms the requisition is still open | Checked against the employer's own careers page before it is scored | Settled for an introduction, because the employer asked to meet you. Not stated for other matches | Not stated |
| Outcome figures | None claimed. It reports your own numbers back once five applications back them | 393,782 candidates and 5,566 companies, company reported. Hires from introductions not published | 2,000,000+ users and up to 3x interviews, company reported. No method published |
| Finding roles you have not seen | Reads the public job lists of employers you name, when their hiring system publishes one, and remote roles listed on Jobicy, each on your press. Everything else you bring | 15 million jobs a day, from the companies on its employer side and beyond | 400,000+ new listings a day, 8,000,000+ in all |
| A warm introduction to the hiring manager | None. Connect drafts the message from your own proof. It cannot open the door | Its core promise, when the employer's side also wants to meet you | Helps you find alumni and hiring managers to write to |
The last two rows are on this chart on purpose. Both agents find roles at a scale nothing here matches, and an introduction the employer asked for skips the pile entirely, which no amount of deciding can do. If an agent gets you that meeting, take it. Rolespect is for every posting that arrives without one.
What a year of searching costs.
$0
No tier above it, and no tier waiting to be built. It borrows the assistant subscription you probably already pay for, through prompts you paste yourself.
$320 to $480
$40 a month, $90 billed quarterly, or $160 billed every six months. The free plan tracks 100 jobs and includes exactly two job tailored resumes, ever.
$173 to $540
Premium at $23.99 a month or $172.99 a year. Premium Plus at $44.99 a month or $299.99 a year, which is the tier carrying the mock interview.
Reviewers commonly recommend running both, because neither covers the whole search. That puts somebody at roughly $490 to $1,020 in a year, at the exact moment they are least able to spend it.
The other two charts, priced the same way. The job boards are free to search. Jack & Jill is free to you, because employers pay when you are hired. Jobright's paid tier lists at about $600 a year billed monthly or quarterly and $935 billed weekly. A timed offer on its upgrade screen brings the first two down to about $360 and $280.
