Very simple to get started and super helpful. Just wish it was easier to transfer and download to google which is a platform I am familiar with.
Starting over again after 20 years. Makes the daunting experience a bit easier. However, in a time when AI is doing things for no cost... This is pricey.
You advertise "Free resume builder" but you are charging to download the resume. That is fraud, and will be reported to the Better Business Bureau as soon as I get my download. I will also be posting this negative review on social media, so others know that your service is NOT free, and that your advertisements are a SCAM.
Enjoy your $2, it is the last money you will ever receive from me.

No sign that I would have to pay for this until I was already done with it, and now that I've already spent all that time doing it, I don't want to go back and try and find something else. I know that's the intention, but it's a predatory intention and I hate that I'm rewarding you with the money for that sort of predatory product design

Y'all advertised this resume builder as free, but I ended up having to pay just to download my resume — that doesn't seem very "free" to me. If you look up "resume builder," you're the first result and even call yourselves "The Best Free Online Resume Builder." That's pretty misleading. Come on.
Hello,
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration regarding the use of our platform. We understand your concerns about the resume builder being advertised as free and appreciate the opportunity to clarify.
Our platform offers two types of accounts: Basic Access (free) and Full Access (paid). With Basic Access, users can create resumes and explore the builder’s features at no cost, but downloading a formatted version with premium templates requires a Full Access account. This account includes additional benefits such as professionally designed templates, printing, emailing, and other resources to support the job search process.
We are continuously working to ensure transparency and a smooth experience on our website, and your feedback helps us improve. Should you have further questions or need assistance navigating the features, our support team is always ready to help.
With sincere thanks,
Customer Service Team.
You can't claim "free resume builder" then literally charge money at the end after spending 30m-1hr building it,
I'd highly advice you grab a dictionary and brush up on what the definition of 'free' is. Instead of being a questionable business model that Purposefully tricks people into using your site under false assumptions.
Hello,
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you may have experienced with our website. We understand your concerns and would like to provide some clarification. First, our platform offers two types of accounts: Basic Access (free) and Full Access (paid).
The basic access account is designed to allow users to explore our builder and try out its features before committing to a purchase. With this account, you can freely use the builder and create your documents. However, it's important to note that the basic access account only allows you to download a plain text version of your document, and it does not include our premium features.
On the other hand, we offer a full-access account for a small fee, which includes additional features such as printing, emailing, and downloading documents with our copyrighted templates, as well as other services to facilitate your job search (cover letters, interview tips, etc.). With the full-access account, you'll have 14 days to use these advanced features and optimize your document creation process. In the event you don't cancel your account within the first 14 days, your subscription will renew to our monthly access.
We continuously strive to improve our website and provide a seamless user experience. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

I really enjoy all of the formats they have to offer aswell as they really dive deep into building your resume when it comes to it being from scratch or just updating it. Payment is really cheap and it really helps when you are in a place when you need a resume as of today.
Hello,
We sincerely appreciate the thoughtful feedback and are glad to learn that the variety of formats and the in-depth support for creating or updating a resume have been valuable. It is encouraging for us to know that the payment options felt affordable and that the service proved useful at an important moment.

Your site comes up under a search for a free resume builder and then it is not until I have built a resume that I learned it is not in fact free.
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you experienced, especially after building your resume and only then discovering that some features are not free. We completely understand how frustrating that can be.
To clarify, our platform offers two types of accounts: Basic Access (free) and Full Access (paid).
The Basic Access account is designed to allow users to explore the builder and create their documents at no cost. With this free access, you can build your resume and download a plain text version of it without any fees. However, the Basic Access plan does not include our premium features.
For options such as downloading your resume using our copyrighted templates, printing, emailing documents, and accessing additional job-search tools (like cover letters and interview tips), we offer a Full Access account for a small fee. This plan provides 14 days of unlimited access to premium features, and if it is not canceled within that period, it renews into a monthly subscription.
Our goal is always to be transparent and to provide a clear experience during the sign-up process. We recognize that the transition to paid features may not have felt clear enough in your case, and your feedback is extremely valuable in helping us continue improving.
If you have any further questions or need help with your account, our support team is here for you.
Best regards,
Customer Service Team.
Very easy to upload my existing resume and do some simple edits. The tool helped to size the resume correctly which is what I really needed.

We strive to provide our users with a seamless experience. We sincerely value the trust you've placed in our platform, and we look forward to continuing to assist you in the future.

Can't modify basic things like where I add linkined in profile. Not efficient use of space, if this was free I get it but it's not
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your detailed feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you found the editing capabilities restrictive, particularly when trying to add your LinkedIn profile link and manage the layout.
We apologize if the current design templates do not allow for simple modification of certain fields, such as easily integrating a LinkedIn URL or optimizing the spatial efficiency to your liking. We strive to offer professional templates that meet general industry standards, but we recognize that advanced customization is essential for many users.
Your input regarding the need for more efficient space utilization and easier editing of basic elements is extremely valuable. We are continuously working on updating our builder's interface and template functionality to offer greater control and a smoother editing experience.
We would be happy to guide you through any available workarounds for adding external links or optimizing a specific section of your CV. Please feel free to contact our support team with more details about the template you are using so we can assist you directly.
Best regards,
Customer Service Team, Resume Builder.

I was under the impression I would be able to use the free version. After I completed the resume process, only the 14 day trial came up. Also, I couldn't find an email address to contact your company. I feel this is not fair advertisement.

I had a great experience with resume builder. It give you nice options for template designs. As well as straight forward descriptions for each job.
Hello,
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! Our goal is to make resume creation simple, effective, and enjoyable for every user, so we’re glad to know you had a great experience with our service and appreciated our multiple tools, options, and clear descriptions. Wishing you much success in your career endeavors!
It says on google its completely free then you go through the whole process (like an hour!) only to get to the end and it charges you $2.95 if you want your resume you just spent all that time on-not that happy but have to do it now. I will say i did like the AI recommendations it offered that part made it easier and professional sounding.

I really appreciate how Resume Builder helped me to organize my work history into a condensed format. I think $2.95 is a very reasonable price for the services I received from the platform. But I very much dislike the automatic auto-payment enrollment. That's a deceptive practice that enables the platform to earn money from human error.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. We’re glad to hear that Resume Builder helped you organize your work history effectively and that you found the initial price reasonable.
We also sincerely apologize for any frustration caused by the automatic subscription enrollment. We want to clarify that our service operates on a subscription model: after the initial fee, which provides full access to all features, the subscription automatically renews into a paid monthly plan if it is not canceled within 14 days. This is intended to ensure uninterrupted access to your resume and all platform features.
These terms are presented clearly during the registration process, at the point of purchase, within our terms and conditions, and again in the confirmation email sent after your first payment. We understand that this information may sometimes be overlooked, and we truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving the clarity of our customer experience.
If you would like assistance with managing or canceling your subscription, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team at [email protected]. We’re here to help. We appreciate your understanding and your honest feedback.
Best regards,

I searched for a FREE resume builder. I spent my time building what I thought was a FREE resume (as stated on google), only to find out that now I have to pay for the FREE resume? I only paid for it because I spent the afternoon on it. Shame on you! FALSE ADVERTISING!

Excellent service and a lot to offer. The cost was very low, but I believe it would have been better just to say, up front, that you can get the finalized resume for as low a $2.95

We sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding the pricing during the sign-up process.

Deceptive, says that it is a free resume builder. You'll get all the way through the process, press download and then take you to a payment processor before you can download the resume.

Extremely disappointing bait and Switch tactic. You CLEARLY advertise The best FREE online resume builder, then don't mention anything about having to pay until you have finished working on your resume. That is extremely deceptive advertising

Your program optimized my resume, but I am concerned about privacy. I would also recommend that this is a paid service right up front, instead of at the end.
