ConnectIQ vs CVFAST

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

ConnectIQ

$19/mo Free trial

CV and resume formatting tool for recruitment agencies that turns any candidate CV into a branded PDF or Word file in seconds, then checks that employers, titles, dates and figures were not changed. Agency plans start at $19 a month for 100 resumes with unlimited seats, and the first conversion is free with no card.

Where ConnectIQ fits

  • Agency recruiters who reformat candidate CVs in Word before every submittal
  • Desks that worry about AI rewriting changing a candidate's facts
  • Teams sending blind CVs that need redaction across the whole document
  • Small agencies wanting unlimited seats at a low monthly price

CVFAST

€29/mo Free tier

Low cost resume formatter for agency recruiters that turns any candidate resume into a branded, optionally anonymized PDF, with a free plan and a first party MCP server. Paid plans are €29 or €59 a month, but no ATS integrations are named.

Where CVFAST fits

  • Agency recruiters sending resumes to clients
  • Solo recruiters wanting a free formatter
  • Teams automating resume prep with AI agents

Where they pull apart

ConnectIQ

Stands out: The AI is fenced in: four rewrite levels run from Format only, which makes no model call, to a full rewrite, and a deterministic check rejects any rewrite that alters an employer, title, date, qualification or figure. Every extracted field links back to where it sits in the original file, and the cost per resume is published for every tier, down to $0.12 on Scale.

Watch out: There are no ATS or CRM integrations yet, so consultants export the formatted file and attach it to Bullhorn, JobAdder or Vincere by hand. Uploads stop at the monthly allowance rather than charging overage, the free tier is a single lifetime conversion, and the vendor notes that Word export approximates the PDF layout rather than matching it exactly.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need formatting to run inside their ATS automatically
  • High volume firms formatting more than 1,000 resumes a month
  • Teams that need the Word export to match the PDF exactly

CVFAST

Stands out: A built in MCP server on every plan, the free one included, lets Claude, Cursor or your own automation create, anonymize and export candidate resumes straight from a chat.

Watch out: Prices are in euros only, the free plan stamps a watermark on every resume, and paid plans cap uploads at 50 or 200 a month. No ATS or CRM integration is named; the Chrome extension and MCP server are the routes in.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies needing a Bullhorn or Vincere integration
  • Formatting more than 200 resumes a month
  • Buyers who want US dollar billing
