Jobscan Alternative for UK Job Seekers
Jobscan is a great CV optimiser. But it stops there — you still have to do all the applying yourself. Autoply does both: scores your CV and applies to jobs.
Jobscan
Scans your CV against a job description and tells you what keywords to add. You still have to write the application, apply manually, and track everything yourself.
$89/month for unlimited scans.
Autoply
Scores your CV, generates tailored cover letters, and applies to 100 jobs in one click. Tracks replies, callback rates, and salary intel.
From £2.99/week for 25 applications. Cancel any time.

Why UK job seekers switch from Jobscan to Autoply
Jobscan is a passive tool. It tells you what to change, but you still have to change it, rewrite your cover letter, find the jobs, apply to each one, and track everything manually. If you're applying to 30+ roles, that's hours of work per week.
Autoply is active. You upload your CV once, set your preferences, and Autoply applies to matching roles — with a tailored CV and personalised cover letter for each job. You wake up with application confirmations in your inbox.
The free CV score. Autoply also has a free public CV scorer at autoply.tech/tools/cv-score — no account needed. It scores ATS compatibility, impact, clarity, and keywords with specific fixes. Similar to Jobscan's core feature, but free and instant.
When Jobscan is still the right tool
Jobscan is better if you're applying to a handful of very specific senior roles where every word of your CV needs to be manually crafted. At that level, the automation Autoply provides is less valuable than deep keyword optimisation per application.
For everyone else — especially graduates, career changers, and people applying to 20+ roles — Autoply saves 5–10 hours a week and gets you more interviews.
