Is Teal worth it for cover letters?
Teal writes a letter from your resume and the job description of a job you saved, and keeps it next to that job in a tracker. Free gives you two AI cover letter credits, enough to try it. Teal+ makes letters unlimited from $13 a week, and the 90-day plan works out cheapest at $79.
Why we picked it.
- The letter starts from your resume and the job you save, so it is built for that posting rather than for a job title.
- Unlimited job tracking is free, so each letter lives next to the job it was written for.
- Short plans: you can pay for one week ($13) during a burst of applications and stop.
Things to know.
- Free includes only two AI credits for cover letters.
- Cancelling takes effect at the end of the billing period, and Teal says it is not responsible for renewals you forget to cancel.
- Teal writes the letter; you still send the application yourself.
