Pay, then pay again.
Or pay once and let the agent run your hunt.
Looking for an AIApply alternative? AIApply hides auto-apply behind a second paywall and an 18-step onboarding. ScoutJobs runs the hunt from one Pro plan with supported-host gates and a monthly credit refill.
Both auto-apply, but ScoutJobs keeps the loop in one plan.
AIApply is a broad toolkit where auto-apply is a paid add-on metered by credits. ScoutJobs is an agent where daily matches, tailoring, cover letters, and supported auto-apply runs live in Pro with a monthly credit refill.
AIApply sells you tools, while ScoutJobs runs the hunt.
Both can submit applications. The path to a sent application looks very different.
You assemble it, and credits deplete.
AIApply gives you a strong drawer of tools, but you still drive: pick the roles, run each tool, and spend a credit every time auto-apply fires.

The comparison, honestly.
Where AIApply wins, we mark it. Where ScoutJobs wins, we show it. No marketing fluff, and a few ties.
A monthly bundle adds up to a real yearly bill.
AIApply meters auto-apply as a bundle on top of its toolkit, so the monthly number reads modest until you carry it across a year. Toggle to the annual view to see the full cost. Every AIApply figure is its 2026 review-reported bundled price; the weekly headline it shows at onboarding is a different, older pricing presentation, so we don't cross-derive from it.
- Starter: toolkit + 100 apps/mo$888/yr$74/mo · bundled auto-apply
- Pro: toolkit + 250 apps/mo$1,788/yr$149/mo · bundled auto-apply
- Toolkit only: billed monthly$348/yr$29/mo · no auto-apply
- Toolkit only: billed yearly$192/yr~$16/mo · no auto-apply
Auto-apply is a separate bundle (or credit packs) on top of the toolkit; the bundled prices below are the 2026 review-reported monthly rates, annualised as billed. The toolkit on its own is $29/mo, or about $16/mo if you pay for a year up front.
- Pro: billed yearly$228/yr$19/mo · everything included
- Pro: billed monthly$348/yr$29/mo · everything included
One Pro plan includes the whole loop: daily matches, per-role tailoring, cover letters, and supported auto-apply with a 150-credit monthly refill. Extra credit packs are optional.
AIApply's Starter auto-apply bundle reads as “$74/mo,” but that's $888 a year. ScoutJobs Pro is $19/mo billed yearly ($228 a year), with the agent loop fully included.
The same seeker and the same week, two different outcomes.
A typical week for Mateo, an operations manager hunting across markets. Illustrative, not a real customer.
Mateo pays twice, then watches credits.
- Mon1Grinds the 18-step onboarding; hands over gender, disability, veteran status before seeing the app.
- Mon2Subscribes to the $29 toolkit, then buys an auto-apply credit pack.
- Tue3Builds a resume, generates cover letters, queues 20 auto-applies.
- Wed4Many were high-volume board posts. A few were ghost listings. Credits spent anyway.
- Thu5Credit pack runs low. Tops up to keep applying.
- Fri✗Plenty submitted, but spent on unvetted roles. Two real callbacks.
Mateo sleeps while the agent works.
- Mon o/n✓Agent scans fresh listings worldwide; ghost and duplicate posts cut first.
- Tue o/n✓Tailors resume + cover letter per role. Submits the strong matches.
- Wed 7:00am✓Daily digest: sent, plus a couple awaiting his one-tap approval.
- Thu o/n✓Applies to the approved roles. No credit meter to watch.
- Fri✓Applications are sent only to curated, scored matches.

Coming from AIApply? Start free in minutes.
No 18-step onboarding and no demographic questionnaire before you see value. Upload your resume, set your filters, and the agent surfaces curated matches the same day, then queues supported applications for review.
Both can submit applications, but only ScoutJobs runs the whole loop.
AIApply gives you tools and meters the applying by credits. With ScoutJobs the agent scans, filters, tailors, and submits supported runs from one Pro plan, constrained by credits and daily caps.
“AIApply does not offer a free tier or a free trial for auto apply.”
