Huntr Alternatives in 2026: Free and Paid Options
Checked against Huntr’s live site July 1, 2026.
Most people looking for a Huntr alternative hit one of two walls: the free plan stops at 100 tracked jobs, or Pro is $40 a month. Here is what else does the job, what each costs, and who each suits.
PrepVault is one of the options below and we build it, so read this as our list rather than a neutral review. Every price is dated and linked to the page we checked it on.
The short answer
If autofill is the feature you would miss, Simplify is the closest free swap: unlimited autofill across 100+ boards and unlimited tracking, with no paid tier needed for the core loop.
If the resume is the real bottleneck, Teal’s builder is the most mature here at $29 a month. If your search stalls at the interview rather than the application, that is what PrepVault is for, at half Huntr Pro’s price.
What Huntr is, and who it is actually for
Huntr is a job search tracker with the widest application autofill in the category. Its Chrome extension saves jobs from 100+ boards and thousands of company career pages, fills applications on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, Taleo, and more, and its AI tailors resumes and cover letters per job. It has been around since 2017.
It is for people applying in volume across a wide mix of ATS platforms, and for anyone whose search is being managed alongside them: Huntr sells to bootcamps, career coaches, and universities, so the multi-seat tooling exists and most of this list does not have it.
Its contact tracking is also the most CRM-like here, with unlimited contacts and event logging on the free plan.
Why people look for a Huntr alternative
Price. Huntr Pro is $40 a month, $90 a quarter, or $160 for 6 months, about $26.67 a month at the best rate, checked July 1, 2026 on Huntr’s pricing page. It is the most expensive plan named on this page.
The free tracking cap. The free plan tracks up to 100 jobs. The autofill is unlimited, so the cap tends to arrive later than people expect and then arrives all at once.
The prep gap. Huntr generates interview questions. There is no practice tool, no feedback, and no prep plan, so everything after the application lands somewhere else.
The AI starts cold. Each AI action analyzes the base resume against the job description you are on, fresh every time. It does not build on what you wrote last week.
The alternatives
- Simplify Free forever for autofill, tracking and job matching. Simplify+ is $39.99/month, $19.99/week, or $89.99 per 3 months
The closest free replacement. Unlimited autofill across 100+ boards including iCIMS, Taleo and Avature, unlimited tracking with no 100-job cap, and curated job lists Huntr does not have. Weaker on contact tracking, and it has no search metrics. Checked July 2, 2026. Alternatives to Simplify
- Teal Free plan tracks unlimited jobs with 10 resume templates. Teal+ is $29/month, $13/week, or $79/quarter
People who would rather spend the money on documents than on autofill. The most mature resume builder here, unlimited free tracking, and a $13 weekly plan that fits a short sprint. It has no autofill at all, so this is a real trade rather than a swap. Checked July 1, 2026. Alternatives to Teal
- PrepVault (ours) Free unlimited tracking with prep tools on every job. Core $9.99/month, Pro $19.99/month
People whose searches stall at the interview, and who want the AI to build on their own notes and answers over time. Our autofill covers six hosts against Huntr’s longer list and needs the $9.99 plan, so on autofill alone this is a downgrade. Checked July 1, 2026.

Where PrepVault does not fit, and Huntr still wins
Autofill, on both counts. Huntr’s autofill is free on every plan and unlimited, and it covers more ATS platforms than PrepVault’s, including iCIMS and Taleo. PrepVault’s autofill needs the Core plan and covers six named hosts. If autofill is the main thing you want, Huntr gives you more of it for nothing.
Contact tracking. Huntr’s contact management is closer to a real CRM: unlimited contacts with event logging and a map view of saved opportunities. PrepVault tracks contacts per job with notes, which is lighter.
Coach and cohort tooling. Huntr sells to bootcamps, career coaches, and universities, so if someone else is managing your search alongside you, their multi-seat tooling exists and ours does not.
Where PrepVault fits
The context profile. Huntr’s AI analyzes your base resume against each job description, fresh every time. PrepVault accumulates your notes, stage changes, saved answers, and practice results, and every prep plan reads that history, so the AI targets what you are actually weak on instead of restarting from a document.
The prep layer. Huntr generates interview questions. PrepVault has the full question database, flashcards, and say-it-out-loud practice with a timer and transcript free, plus AI prep plans, company research, and AI-graded practice on paid tiers. If the interview is the hard part, this is the biggest gap on the page.
Price. Huntr Pro is $40 a month. PrepVault Pro is $19.99, and the non-AI Core tier is $9.99. Huntr has no cheaper paid tier.
Free tracking volume. Huntr’s free plan caps at 100 jobs tracked. PrepVault tracks unlimited applications on every tier, with prep tools open on all of them.
FAQ
What is the best free Huntr alternative?
Simplify, for anyone who is leaving over the price or the 100-job cap. Its autofill is free, unlimited, and covers 100+ boards and ATS platforms including iCIMS, Taleo and Avature, and its tracking is free and uncapped.
PrepVault’s free tier also tracks unlimited applications, with the full interview question database, flashcards, and out-loud practice open on every job. Its autofill is the part that needs a paid plan.
Is Huntr free?
Huntr has a real free plan: track up to 100 jobs, unlimited application autofill, 2 job-tailored resumes, unlimited contact management, and the Chrome clipper. Unlimited AI tailoring, advanced matching, and unlimited tracking need Pro at $40 a month, $90 a quarter, or $160 for 6 months as of July 2026.
Which Huntr alternative has the best autofill?
Simplify, on breadth and price: free and unlimited across 100+ boards and ATS platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Taleo, Avature, Lever, and SmartRecruiters. Huntr’s own free autofill is the next widest.
PrepVault’s autofill covers Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Indeed, LinkedIn, and Workday, needs the Core plan at $9.99 a month, and runs on Chrome desktop. Teal has no autofill at all. All of them fill from your profile, show you every field first, and leave the submit button to you.
What does PrepVault have that Huntr doesn’t?
Two things. A context profile: PrepVault’s AI reads your accumulated notes, stage changes, saved answers, and quiz results, so prep plans get more specific the longer your search runs. Huntr’s AI starts from the documents you attach, every time.
And a real prep layer: a full interview question database, flashcards, and out-loud practice with a timer and transcript free, AI prep plans and company research on Pro, AI-graded practice on Pro Plus. Huntr’s prep story is a question generator.
Does any of these auto-apply to jobs?
No. Huntr, Simplify and PrepVault all fill application forms and leave the submit button to you. None of them sends applications on your behalf.
