How we compiled this
Official pricing pages were re-fetched via WebFetch on 2026-06-15/18 for Rezi (rezi.ai/pricing), Kickresume (kickresume.com/en/pricing/ — EUR), Novoresume (novoresume.com/page/pricing — EUR), Resume.io (resume.io/pricing — EUR), VisualCV (visualcv.com/pricing/), and the Enhancv help center. Teal (tealhq.com 403), Zety (zety.com timed out), and Enhancv (enhancv.com pricing rendered NaN) could not be read directly; their prices were corroborated across multiple independent review sources and, where possible, the vendor's own help center. Vendors that publish only EUR (Kickresume, Novoresume, Resume.io) have monthlyUsd left null with the native EUR figure in notes — a null beats a fabricated USD conversion. Key corrections this pass: Resume.io was mislabeled as USD when the live page is EUR and the trial auto-renews to EUR 24.95/4-weeks (not USD 29.95); Enhancv monthly is $24.99 (not $19.99) and quarterly is $49.97/$16.66 (not $39.99/$13.33); VisualCV monthly/annual/Team prices are NOT on the official page (only quarterly $16/mo and a forever-free tier are) and are flagged as third-party-corroborated only, with the Team plan corrected from per_seat/null to a flat $499/yr.
