FAQs

Common questions

Questions about free resume building, PDF export, ATS-friendly templates, and accounts.

How do you make money if it's free?

The core resume builder is currently free. Optional paid tools may be added later, but the free limits are shown before you start and there is no paid unlock for the core export flow.

Will this pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)?

SimpleCV is designed for ATS compatibility with clean structure and standard sections. Final parsing can still vary by employer system.

No. You can start building as a guest. Create a free account when you want to save your resume or download a PDF.

Can I change the template later?

Yes. You can switch templates without re-entering your resume details.
