Teal vs The Anti Job Board
Teal is a genuinely good job-search organizer: tracker, resume builder, keyword tools. But organizing applications and getting them read are different problems — and most people's bottleneck is the second one.
Updated . Written by The Anti Job Board, so read it knowing we're one side of it.
Teal
A job search workspace: bookmark jobs from any board into one tracker, build and tailor resumes against descriptions, track contacts. Free tier for tracking; Teal+ (~$9/week or ~$29/month) unlocks unlimited keyword matching and advanced analysis.
The Anti Job Board
A job search autopilot for startup roles. We read 67,000+ live roles at 11,000+ startups and tech companies straight from their careers pages every day. Each morning autopilot finds the new ones that fit you, the person who leads hiring for each by name, and writes them a short email in your voice that you send from your own Gmail. Free to try; plans from $33.99 a month.

- Our resume tools are free where Teal's equivalents sit behind ~$29/month.
- Each role comes with the person hiring and a drafted email; nothing in Teal changes who reads your application.
Can you use both?
Very naturally: Teal is where applications live once they exist; we change which applications exist and who reads them. Track the roles we find in Teal alongside everything else. If you're paying for Teal+ mainly for resume analysis, try our free tools first and see if you still need it.
