Honest comparison
PromptCV.app vs Zety
Same AI bullets. Same ATS optimization. None of the $1.95-trial-turns-into-$25.95-every-four-weeks trap. Credit packs from ৳49.99 — credits never expire.
The honest cost, side by side
Zety bills every 4 weeks — that is 13 charges per year, not 12. The "monthly" framing hides the real cost.
