Is Jobscan Free? Free Scans, Pricing and the Trial (2026)

Yes, in part. Jobscan's free plan costs $0 forever and includes 5 resume scans a month, a resume builder you can download from, and a job tracker. Unlimited scans and its AI tools need a paid plan: $49.95 a month with no trial, or $89.95 every three months after a 7-day free trial that bills automatically unless you cancel.

Details are from Jobscan's pricing page and resume builder page, checked as a US visitor on October 6, 2026. Jobscan adds state and local sales tax based on your billing address.

What Jobscan's free plan includes

Jobscan's free plan lists:

• 5 resume scans a month, each comparing your resume with a job description
• 5 ATS and recruiter findings
• A resume builder. Jobscan's builder page says you can create, edit and download as many resumes as you like for free.
• A resume manager, job tracker, post-interview thank-you notes, a Chrome extension and its learning center

Five scans a month is enough to check your resume against your top few applications. If you apply to more jobs than that, either rotate which ones you scan or pay.

Jobscan pricing in 2026

Paid plans add unlimited scans, keyword comparisons and findings, plus AI tools: AI optimizations, an AI cover letter generator, an AI bullet point generator, a LinkedIn optimizer and AI job matching. Several are marked "desktop only."

How the trial works: the 7-day free trial applies only to the quarterly plan. Jobscan's FAQ says that when the trial ends "you will be billed for the next quarter of your subscription," and that canceling "on or before your trial expiration date" means you aren't charged. There's no trial on the monthly plan.

How to cancel Jobscan

• Cancel in Jobscan or contact its support team; the FAQ says either works.
• During the trial: cancel before day 7 and you won't be charged $89.95.
• After you've paid: you keep paid features until the end of the period. Then, in the FAQ's words, "you will lose access to paid features and all data associated with those features," so export anything you need first.

Jobscan's pricing page doesn't describe refunds for paid periods. If you were charged by mistake, contact support quickly.

Jobscan vs other ways to check a resume against a job

Disclosure: ResumeFast is our product. Its free plan includes one ATS score check a month, 10 AI credits, unlimited resumes and cover letters, and your first PDF or Word download free. Pro is $6.95 a month and makes scans, AI writing and downloads unlimited. Jobscan has more scanning features than we do, including recruiter findings and a LinkedIn optimizer, so if keyword optimization is the whole job, its quarterly plan is the focused choice.
