Is Jobscan worth it for cover letters?
Jobscan is a resume keyword scanner first. Its paid plans add an AI cover letter generator that reads your resume and the job description, works in the posting's skills, and lets you rewrite for length, tone or focus. At $49.95 a month it is the most expensive way to get letters here, so it makes sense only as part of the scanner.
Why we picked it.
- It pulls skills and requirements from the job description and works them into the letter.
- Rewrite controls change length, tone or focus without starting over.
- It comes with the resume scanner, if keyword matching is what you are paying for already.
Things to know.
- The Free plan does not list the AI cover letter generator.
- Jobscan says that when a subscription expires you lose access to paid features and the data tied to them.
- The quarterly price follows a 7-day free trial and bills for the quarter when the trial ends.
