ResumeGenius Reviews Summary

The company has established a strong reputation for its user-friendly resume-building platform, which is praised for its intuitive design, effective templates, and time-saving capabilities.

Overall, while the service is highly regarded for its quality and ease of use, addressing pricing clarity could further enhance customer trust.

This website advertises itself as a free resume builder. While technically true, you must pay for a 14-day trial to actually access the resume you've built, followed by a pricey subscription if you forget to cancel it. This scam tactic is deceptive and misleading. By the time I had finished spending an hour and a half painstakingly creating my resume, I wasn't about to scrap it over three dollars. Still, I am upset about being manipulated into paying this hidden fee. Save yourself the trouble and find somebody else with more integrity.

It states that the resume is free and it isnt. Some people that create resume are looking for a job and have NO money. After crearing resume a screen pop up for 2.95 charge for the 'free resume'

Should add a one-time charge instead of subscription.

Didn't know about the fee until the end, but the product is very nice and the prompts really did help to just get it done. Just remember to cancel...

Bait and switch
May 25, 2022

Bait and switch. This was labeled as a free resume builder. After spending so much time inputting information, you get to the end and you can't actually download it without paying. So it's not really free. But I didn't want to spend more time going somewhere else, so I just payed.

Your terms and conditions and the fact this isn't free should be communicated upfront, not at the end of building the resume. The search bar says it's free to use.

Overpriced after trial

Overpriced after trial. 3 dollars is reasonable for what is essentially a one time use app, but 25 dollars is too much. Especially monthly.
