How does Resume Prune work?
Paste both
Your current resume, in any format, plus the job description. Messy copy-paste from a PDF is fine.
Check the match
You get a 1 to 10 match score, the strong alignments, and the real gaps. Scored realistically, not to flatter you.

A pruned 2-page resume and a 200-word cover letter, both as PDFs. Single column, real text, built for automated screeners.
What does "pruning" mean?
Most tools pad your resume with things you never did. Resume Prune goes the other way: it keeps the bullets that matter for this job, cuts the ones that don't, and shows you each cut with the reason. The rules only allow rephrasing, reordering, and cutting what's on the page, and because every change is visible, you can catch anything that reads too generous before it goes out.
The example up top is what every tweak shows you: what stayed, what got cut, and why. Your resume, your call. Put a bullet back if you disagree.
Why pay by the week?
Because a job hunt has an end date. When you're actively applying, you might tweak your resume 15 times in a week. When you land the job, you're done. Sprint costs $9 for each week you're in it, covers 20 tweaks, and you can cancel the moment you sign an offer. No annual plan billing you in the background next spring.

Questions people ask
Will it make things up on my resume?
It's built not to. The rules only allow rephrasing, reordering, and cutting what's already in your resume, and the pruning report shows you every change so nothing slips past you. AI can still word things more generously than you would, which is exactly why you review everything before you send it. If the job asks for a skill you don't have, it shows up as a gap in your match analysis, not in your bullets.
Is the output ATS-friendly?
Yes. The resume is a single-column, real-text, 2-page format with standard headings, the shape automated screeners parse cleanly and recruiters scan fast. No graphics, no tables, no text boxes.
What happens to my resume after I paste it?
Free tweaks are processed and the result is kept for 30 days so your emailed link works, then it's deleted. With an account, your base resume and tweak history are stored until you delete them or your account. You can export or delete everything from your account page. Resumes are never sold or used to train anything.
What's the difference between Sprint and Pro?
Sprint is $9 per week with 20 tweaks a week, built for an active job hunt where you apply to a lot of roles in a burst and then stop. Pro is $14 per month with 40 tweaks a month, better if you tweak steadily over a longer stretch. Both save your base resume and history, and both cancel anytime.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. The free tier is 2 tweaks a month with no signup and no card. You paste, you get your match analysis and documents, done. An account only enters the picture when you want a paid plan or saved history.
How do I cancel?
From your account page, one click into the Stripe billing portal. Sprint and Pro renew automatically until you cancel, and canceling keeps your plan active through the period you already paid for.
