Autoply vs Simplify
A Simplify alternative that actually applies for you
Simplify auto-fills application forms — but you still click Submit, and your application still goes into the same ATS pile as everyone else. Autoply goes further: it finds the hiring manager at each company and sends a direct cold email with your tailored CV and cover letter — bypassing the pile entirely.
The problem with Simplify
- →You still have to be present. Simplify fills form fields, but you click Apply on every single job. It saves time, but you're still glued to your laptop — and still ending up in the ATS pile.
- →No UK job board support. Simplify focuses on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. UK-specific boards like Reed, Adzuna, and TotalJobs aren't covered.
- →Generic applications. Simplify fills the same profile into every form. There's no AI that rewrites your CV to match each job description — you still look like everyone else.
- →No reply tracking. Once you hit submit, Simplify's job is done. You're back to manually tracking callbacks in a spreadsheet.

How Autoply is different
Set it and sleep
Autoply runs on Railway servers — not your browser. At 11pm it picks up your preferences, finds matching jobs, tailors your CV and cover letter with AI, finds the hiring manager at each company, and sends direct cold emails. You wake up to results.
Actually covers UK jobs
We scrape Reed, Adzuna, RemoteOK, WeWorkRemotely, and Google Jobs every 4 hours. If a job exists in the UK, Autoply can find and apply for it.
Every CV is tailored
Autoply uses Claude, GPT-4, or Gemini (or your own API key) to rewrite your CV bullet points and generate a cover letter matching each specific job. Not a copy-paste — a genuine rewrite.
Recruiter replies tracked automatically
Connect Gmail or Outlook once. Autoply scans your inbox, matches recruiter replies to the original application, and surfaces them in your dashboard. No more missed callbacks.
