RefineCV

$0.25/CV Free tier Free trial

Why it comes up: Also pay per CV for branded formatting, with a published price from $0.25/CV and a free plan, so you know the cost up front.

Stands out: Pricing is published and per CV rather than per seat: $0.25 a CV on Pro and $0.40 pay as you go, with no contract, where several CV formatting rivals are quote only or charge per user. Template builds and edits are free, including sending your existing Word or PDF template for the team to rebuild.

Watch out: It works on files rather than inside your ATS, so consultants export the CV, format it and upload it back unless your ATS vendor licenses the engine. Batch processing is on request rather than built in, and the vendor says it does not hold ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification, which larger clients may ask for.

Best for

• Small and midsize agencies sending branded CVs to clients
• Desks where consultants spend time reformatting resumes in Word
• Agencies that want per CV pricing without per seat fees

RemakeCV

$25/user/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Bulk formatting with several ATS integrations and an API, from $25/user/mo with a 7-day trial, if you are not on JobAdder.

Stands out: Templates are fully custom: send your existing Word template and the team rebuilds it, typically within 24 hours, and it copes with scanned PDFs and hidden tables that cut sentences off in other formatters.

Watch out: Business includes only 30 credits a month per user, and the site gives mixed signals on whether ATS integration comes with every plan or only Enterprise. Check both before an annual commitment.

Best for

• Recruitment agencies with a house CV template
• Desks running Bullhorn, Vincere or JobAdder
• Teams formatting shortlists in bulk

CVFAST

€29/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Branded and anonymised candidate PDFs with its own MCP server and API, free plan and paid from €29/mo.

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.

Best for

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