Autofill vs auto-apply
Two different things with similar names. One fills in forms and leaves them for you. The other sends them. Which plan has which, and the limits on both.
The two names sound like one feature, but they are two. They come with different plans and make different promises.
| Autofill | Auto-apply | |
|---|---|---|
| What runs | The queue opens each job, prepares it and fills the form | The same, and then submits |
| Who presses send | You, once per job | Nobody. You find out afterwards |
| Plan | The apply tier and above | Pro Max only |
| Consent | Starting the run | A separate tick for the sending mode |
| Where it can run | Job sites whose forms we can fill in | Job sites that accept an application sent directly |
There is a third thing with a similar name: the extension's fill button. It only works on the one page you are looking at.
Why they are separate
If they were one feature, someone who only wanted forms filled in might find out we had sent them too. Filling means the software opens twenty tabs and types in them, and you still press send twenty times. Sending means the software presses send.
They cost different amounts and need different permissions. So if one is locked, we can tell you which one.
The limits
We count these on our server, not in your browser, per day and per calendar month.
| Tier | Sent for you | Filled for you |
|---|---|---|
| Pro Max | 20 a day, 250 a month | 25 a day, 300 a month |
| Scan, Build and Apply | Not included | 15 a day, 200 a month |
| Everything below | Not included | Not included |
In practice, you reach the daily limit first. We set it by what job sites are likely to accept, not by what would earn us more.
What a run actually does
- You paste job links, or let us pick your best matches, up to today's limit.
- Before anything opens, each job shows how it will be handled, and why.
- We build one resume for each type of role, not one for every job.
- Each job is opened in a real tab and prepared.
- In sending mode, we send the application where the job site allows it. Everywhere else, we fill in the form and leave the tab open.
- Twenty to forty-five seconds pass, and the next one starts.
- Everything lands on the tracker, including the ones that did not go.
The honest parts
- If a job site asks "are you a robot?", the run stops there. We mark it as not sent and leave the tab open for you to finish.
- An application is counted when it is tailored, not when it is sent. So every tailored application is counted, and you are never counted for something you did not get.
- We never skip a job without telling you. Otherwise you could not tell which jobs really got an application.
What it will never reach
About three out of four jobs cannot be sent automatically by anyone, because the employer does not accept applications that way. We never automate LinkedIn, because it could get your own account blocked. We also leave out job sites that need your own login from the employer.
Which board falls where is in which boards support which route.
Questions about this
Which one does the toolbar button use?
Neither. The button on a job page fills the page you are on and stops. The queue is the thing with two modes.
Can I run the sending mode on my apply tier plan?
No. Filling in a queue of forms comes with the Scan, Build and Apply plan. Sending while you are away is Pro Max only, and a campus licence does not include it either.
What happens if a board challenges the run?
If a job site asks for a human check, the run stops on that job. The tab stays open so you can finish by hand, and the job is marked as not sent.
Why are jobs worked so slowly?
We wait twenty to forty-five seconds between jobs, at random. Forty applications from one person in an hour is the quickest way to get a job site to quietly ignore that person.
Pick the mode before you pick the jobs
Before anything opens, the queue screen shows how each job will be handled, and why. Read that list once and the difference becomes clear.
