I think I would be more likely to use this if it were a subscription model despite usually hating subscriptions.

Looking for a job is a time bound process and I want to know that I have full access to the tools needed for the entire time it takes to find a job. During my most recent job search the 15 rewrites may have lasted me less than a week. I was using ChatGPT to tweak every resume I submitted.

Thanks for the feedback. Yea, the rewrites are needed. Users don't always know what they want right off the bat, and it hits them later on.

Our original goal was to help people get their resume going and into a nice-looking doc asap.

College students we interviewed were adamantly against subscriptions, so we pivoted. We realize it's a more effort for seasoned professionals.

We're going to increase the cheapest offering to at least 2. GPT-4 has some cost limits, but we're actively figuring out how to squeeze more value for users. Our dream is to "speak to your document" and we're evaluating if we can and should try to get there. We think we have innovations in the word processing space... obviously it's not the safest area to play in with MSFT looking to innovate their own products with Agents.

I hope it’s okay that I am contacting you regarding a bug here. I purchased the standard package that offers 7 resume creations but after completing the purchase it says I only have 5 available to generate.
Sorry for the trouble! Fixed now. You should see 10.
thank you!
Honestly, don’t base your main pricing on college students. Maybe have a deal if they sign up with their college email address. For the rest, price for the customers you want.
It’s a great idea. I could also see pricing for professionals that are creating many iterations for many industries and roles. Something in a larger bulk, but favorably priced
For me, it is the other way around. I prefer a pay by use model.
