First download should be free. This is ridiculous. People are coming to this website because they either (1) are looking for a job and are unemployed or (2) obviously need a better job. So charging vulnerable people just seems bad.
Mildly annoyed i have to pay for a resume but im also incompetent when it comes to building one so have 3 dollars to do it for me
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback and using ResumeBuilder. Our goal is to provide helpful tools, guidance, and professionally designed templates for an easy resume creation process. It's great that we were able to assist you with your needs.
Best regards,

Hello,
Thank you for your thoughtful remarks in this five-star review! It makes us glad to know that our AI tool helped make your process smooth and professional. We hope to have the pleasure of supporting you again in the future.
Warm regards,
Customer Service Team.
I don't appreciate how it's stated as a free resume builder and then you have to pay to actually download the resume after it's spending the time building it. Deceptive marketing and practice.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. At ResumeBuilder.com, transparency is important to us, and we strive to clearly communicate our plan options. For your reference, we provide a detailed pricing overview that outlines all current plans at resumebuilder.com/pricing.
Our free plan allows users to build a resume and download it as a basic text (TXT) file, while paid options, including our 14-day trial, offer full access to live previews, downloadable PDFs, professionally designed templates, and additional career tools such as expert guidance and AI-powered suggestions.
We regret any misunderstanding that may have occurred. If you need assistance with billing or have questions about our plans, please feel free to contact our support team at [email protected]. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve our service for all users.
Best regards,
Customer Support Team.
I'd rather not have to pay for this, but such a small fee for 14-Day Access is decently reasonable. I doubt I'll use the service again in the next 14 days.
The AI assistance is troublesome and automating the response makes the resume appear fake and robotic. It puts too much focus on career based skills and at should least display skill and traits based on character and general ability. I did not use it whatsoever.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your perspective regarding our service and the AI-assisted tools we offer. We understand your concerns about the automated content and the preference for a more personalized touch in your resume.
To provide some context, many companies now utilize Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). An ATS is a software application used by recruiters to automatically filter, sort, and rank job applications based on keywords, skills, and specific formatting. Because these systems prioritize candidates whose resumes align closely with job descriptions, many applicants favor AI-driven optimization to ensure their profiles contain the necessary technical and career-based terminology to pass these digital "gatekeepers."
While we understand your preference for highlighting character traits and general abilities, the primary objective of our AI-optimized content is to ensure your document is structurally and semantically compatible with the software most hiring managers currently use. Without these specific skill-based keywords, highly qualified candidates risk being filtered out before a human even sees their application.
That said, we value your feedback on the nature of the output. We are continuously refining our algorithms to strike a better balance between ATS optimization and a natural, human-like professional narrative. Your input regarding the focus on character and general ability is incredibly valuable, and we will share this with our development team for future updates.
Should you require any further assistance during your access period, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected].
Best regards,
Customer Service Team.
Using sunk cost fallacy as a tool to persuade people to pay for a product that appears to be free to use is a great way to waste peoples time and get on their bad side. Recommend up front communication of payment expectations, don't be such scaredy cats.
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced while using our service; transparency is extremely important to us.
To clarify, our platform offers two types of access: basic access and full access.
The basic access account is designed so users can explore the builder and test its functionality before deciding whether it meets their needs. With this option, you can create your document and download a plain text version at no cost.
The full access account is a paid subscription that unlocks our premium features, including the ability to download, print, or email documents using our professionally designed templates. This option includes a 14-day access period to use these advanced features. If the subscription is not canceled within those 14 days, it renews into a monthly plan, as outlined during the checkout process.
We understand your feedback, and we truly appreciate you highlighting this point. We are continuously reviewing how we present our pricing information to ensure it is as clear and straightforward as possible.
If you would like us to review your specific case or clarify any details regarding your account, please feel free to contact our support team at [email protected]. We are here to help.

You collected all the information to build the resume before telling me that I can download after payment only. This is not a good user experience. It is a forceful selling and I am not happy with it.

Just built my resume & this site was very efficient in helping me to do that.
The site says the resume builder is free. Then I can't have it until I pay - I don't want a subscription and the 'free' is deceiving. I have paid as I have created my resume but want it cancelled at the end of the Trial as I don't want or need further service.

It's annoying you all market yourselves as free, then, as soon as your users are done, creating their résumé you hit them with a paywall. If you were honest upfront, then people would probably be more willing to use your product.
