Hirz vs Teal
Teal is a resume builder and job tracker. Hirz is an AI job-search agent. They overlap less than the category listings suggest, so the useful question is not which is better but which half of the problem is costing you time.
What Teal does
Teal is a resume builder and application tracker with a browser extension. You save jobs as you find them, Teal keeps them in a board with their status, and it helps you write and tailor the resume you send. It is a well-built workspace for a search you are running yourself.
Teal’s own site and its pricing page are the authority on current features and prices. This page quotes neither, on purpose.
What Teal is good at
- A genuinely useful free tier that does not expire, with unlimited resumes and unlimited job tracking.
- The resume editor is more mature than most, and the browser extension makes saving a job to the board a single click.
- Strong at the organising problem: if you are already applying and losing track of where, Teal fixes that today.

Pick Teal if
- You want to keep control of finding and choosing roles yourself, and you only want help writing and tracking.
- You are early in a search and want a free tool to bring order to it before spending anything.
- You want a resume editor you will open often, rather than documents generated for you.
Pick Hirz if
- The part that is eating your evenings is finding and screening roles, not organising the ones you already found.
- You want the first draft written for you rather than a better editor to write it in.
- You want a match score against your actual profile before you spend any time on a posting.
Can you use both?
Yes, and for Teal in particular that is a reasonable setup rather than a cop-out. They sit at different points in the same process, so using one does not waste the other. Both have a free tier, so trying that costs nothing but the evening.
