FastApply vs Autoply
An honest comparison for UK job seekers
FastApply submits applications to ATS forms. Autoply goes further — it finds the hiring manager at each company and sends a direct cold email with your tailored CV and cover letter. 8–15% response rate vs 2–3% for ATS form submissions. Here's where they diverge.
Where Autoply goes further
Reply tracking across email providers
FastApply submits applications but leaves you to monitor replies manually. Autoply connects to Gmail or Outlook, detects recruiter replies automatically, and puts everything in one dashboard — read/unread, reply time, and which companies ghosted you across the entire platform.
Bring your own AI key — 30% cheaper
FastApply handles AI internally, you pay their markup. Autoply lets you connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or Mistral key. You pay the AI provider directly at cost, with a 30% discount on platform credits as a result.
