Gurify and Simplify.jobs both help candidates find jobs faster — but they solve different problems. Simplify focuses on applying faster. Gurify focuses on finding better jobs to apply to. We built Gurify, so we're biased. But here's an honest comparison. ## Quick comparison | | Gurify | Simplify | | --- | --- | --- | | Starting price | Free / $19/mo | Free / $39.99/mo | | Built by | Recruiting agency | Tech team | | Core feature | ATS search + resume tailoring | One-click autofill + Chrome extension | | Job sources | LinkedIn + direct ATS/career pages | Aggregated job boards + exclusive listings | | Resume approach | Tailored per role (shows what changed) | AI resume builder | | Match scoring | Yes, with explanations | No | | Chrome extension | No | Yes | | Mobile app | No | Yes (iOS + Android) | ## Pricing ### Gurify - **Free** — 1 search, 5 tailored resumes - **Starter ($19/mo)** — 5 searches, 20 resumes/month - **Pro ($49/mo)** — 10 LinkedIn + 10 ATS searches, 50 resumes/month - **Ultra ($99/mo)** — 20 LinkedIn + 20 ATS searches, 150 resumes/month ### Simplify - **Free** — core autofill, job tracking - **Simplify+ ($39.99/mo)** — AI resume builder, exclusive roles, premium features **Bottom line:** Simplify's free tier is more generous for basic use. But Gurify's paid tiers ($19-$49) are cheaper than Simplify+ ($39.99) and include ATS search — something Simplify doesn't offer at any price. ## Where Gurify wins ### 1. Direct ATS search Gurify searches company career pages and applicant tracking systems directly. Simplify scrapes the same job boards everyone else uses. ATS search means you find roles at the source — often before they appear on LinkedIn, Indeed, or Simplify. ### 2. Resume tailoring with transparency Gurify tailors your resume for each specific role and shows you exactly what changed and why. You edit it before downloading. The logic comes from professional recruiters. Simplify has an AI resume builder, but it doesn't show the reasoning behind changes or let you see a before/after comparison. ### 3. Match scoring with explanations Every role in Gurify gets a match score against your resume, with a written explanation of why it's a fit. Simplify doesn't score or explain job matches. ### 4. Built by recruiters Gurify was built inside a recruiting agency. The resume tailoring logic comes from people who review resumes and make hiring decisions professionally. ## Where Simplify wins ### 1. Chrome extension and autofill Simplify's Chrome extension autofills job applications across major platforms. If you're applying to dozens of jobs daily, this saves significant time. Gurify doesn't have a browser extension. ### 2. Exclusive listings Some employers post roles exclusively on Simplify ("Simplify Only" jobs). These are roles you won't find anywhere else. ### 3. Mobile app Simplify has well-rated iOS and Android apps. Gurify is web-only. ### 4. Free tier depth Simplify's free tier includes the full autofill extension and job tracking. Gurify's free tier is more limited (1 search, 5 resume credits) — designed to let you try the product. ## Different philosophies **Simplify** believes the job search is a **volume game**. Apply to as many jobs as fast as possible. Their autofill extension is designed to remove friction so you can submit more applications per hour. **Gurify** believes the job search is a **precision game**. Find the right jobs before everyone else, and apply with a resume that actually matches. ATS search and recruiter-built tailoring increase your hit rate, not your volume. Neither approach is wrong. It depends on your situation. ## Can you use both? Yes. They don't conflict. Use Gurify to find hidden jobs via ATS search and generate tailored resumes. Use Simplify's Chrome extension to speed up the application process. Some candidates use both. ## The honest take Simplify is a more mature product with a larger user base, a Chrome extension, and mobile apps. If speed and volume are your priority, Simplify is hard to beat. Gurify is more focused. We find jobs others miss (direct ATS search) and tailor resumes with recruiter logic. If you're tired of applying to ghost jobs and competing with hundreds of applicants on the same listings, Gurify addresses that problem directly. Try both free tiers and decide. ## Try Gurify [Sign up free](https://gurify.com/) — resume credits, LinkedIn search, and AI scoring included.
