5. Reviews & Sources External reviews

Source	Rating	What it says
Trustpilot 55k+	4.3/5 — template quality & speed praised; billing/auto-renew top complaint
Aivario / CareerKit / ResumeOptimizerPro 2026	“Product good, pricing predatory”; TXT-only free tier is a demo not a tool; 7-day window too short vs 14-day rivals
ToolWorthy / Startupik	Mid-pack: beats Zety on platform breadth, loses to Rezi on ATS granularity, loses to Kickresume on free-PDF + AI depth
ATS parse test (Aug 2026)	Single-column templates parse fine; sidebar/2-col templates carry parsing risk like all builders
