Teal: review, pricing, data and alternatives

What is Teal?

Teal is for job seekers who want to create multiple versions of their resume. It also compares resumes with job requirements, helps write cover letters, and tracks applications and follow-ups.

According to its documentation, Teal lets you:

• create multiple versions of a resume
• compare a resume with a job posting's criteria
• write a cover letter
• track applications and follow-ups

We file it under Résumés and job search, the category of tools to prepare résumés, letters and interviews, and it also overlaps with aI writing tools. The category lists 15 verified tools on this site.

The publisher is Teal Labs, Inc., based in United States. The service launched in 2019, which gives it some track record.

Who is it for?

It is mostly useful to these profiles: students and freelancers. The need it covers is simple to state: prepare résumés, letters and interviews.

Teal is a good candidate if:

• you want to try before paying

The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.

How much does Teal cost?

Pricing model: freemium (limited free use, then paid). A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.

The first paid plan costs $29 per month (Teal+, billed every 30 days; a 7-day plan is also available), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.

Per month, that is more expensive than the category median ($24.78 per month, based on tools with a published price).

Data and privacy

According to its privacy policy, data is processed in the United States.

For professional use, check that a data processing agreement (DPA) is offered, and do not send customers' personal data or confidential documents without one.

Exporting your content: PDF. Being able to get your data back makes switching tools easier later.

Three habits apply to every AI tool:

• turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
• use a work account separate from your personal account
• review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it
