Teal is a job tracker first and a resume builder second, and it has one of the most generous free tiers in the category. The honest verdict for 2026 is that the tracking is excellent and free, but the resume features most people actually want, unlimited AI writing and unlimited keyword matching, sit behind Teal+, and the weekly billing option can quietly add up. This review covers the current pricing, what Teal does best, where the paywall lands, and who is better off with a free builder that includes keyword matching.
What is Teal?
Teal is an all-in-one job-search workspace. Its centrepiece is a job application tracker, backed by a well-rated Chrome extension that saves listings as you browse, plus a contact manager and a resume builder. The pitch is organisation: keep every application, version, and follow-up in one place instead of a spreadsheet, then tailor a resume per role from inside the same tool.
As an organiser it is genuinely strong, and unusually generous on the free plan. The value question is not the tracker, which is free, but whether the resume side is worth upgrading for, and how the pricing is structured.
Teal pricing in 2026
As of July 2026, Teal has a capable free plan and a Teal+ subscription. The free plan is unusually complete: unlimited resumes, unlimited job tracking, the Chrome extension, around ten ATS-friendly templates, a contact manager, and limited keyword matching. For organising a search, you can get a long way without paying anything.
Teal+ is where the resume power lives. Reported pricing as of July 2026 is roughly $9 per week, about $29 per month, around $79 per quarter, or about $179 a year (roughly $15 a month). Teal+ unlocks unlimited AI credits across the bullet-point generator, summary writer, resume rewriter, and cover letter tool, plus unlimited keyword matching and deeper analysis. The one to watch is the weekly plan: $9 a week looks small but works out to far more than the annual rate if you leave it running.
The takeaway on price: Teal's free tracker is a real gift, and if all you need is organisation it is hard to beat. But the resume features that justify Teal+ are ones free tools increasingly cover, so the upgrade is worth it only if you lean heavily on its AI writing and want everything in one workspace.
