QuickSmartCV vs RemakeCV

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

Starting price

QuickSmartCV

Pay as you go Free trial

QuickSmartCV is a single-purpose CV formatter from Derbyshire, UK, for recruitment agencies and recruiters who send CVs to clients. It turns any candidate CV into an editable, branded DOCX in about 30 seconds, and connects to JobAdder. You start with 5 free credits, then pay as you go per credit with no subscription; credit prices are shown at checkout.

Where QuickSmartCV fits

  • UK recruitment agencies that reformat CVs before sending to clients
  • JobAdder users who want formatting inside the ATS
  • Recruiters with uneven CV volume who dislike monthly fees
  • Agencies that want a custom template built for them

RemakeCV

$25/user/mo 7 day free trial

Specialist CV formatter for recruitment agencies that rebuilds your own Word template and pushes finished CVs back into Bullhorn, Vincere or JobAdder. From $25 per user a month billed annually, but 30 monthly credits per seat is tight for busy desks.

Where RemakeCV fits

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

Where they pull apart

QuickSmartCV

Stands out: Output is always an editable DOCX rather than a PDF, and JobAdder users can format from inside the candidate record. Credits never expire and there is no monthly fee, which suits agencies with uneven CV volume.

Watch out: Credit prices are not on the website, so you have to sign up to see the cost per CV. JobAdder is the only ATS integration, and the service is young, with 1,000+ CVs formatted and no outside reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams on ATSs other than JobAdder that want in-ATS formatting
  • Buyers who need to see a per-CV price before signing up

RemakeCV

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.

Not the right fit for

  • In house hiring teams
  • Recruiters formatting more than 30 CVs a month on one seat
  • Buyers who want monthly billing shown up front

  • Only 30 credits a month on Business
  • Monthly price not published

What each one costs

QuickSmartCV

Pay as you go

QuickSmartCV runs on pay-as-you-go credits with no monthly subscription. One credit formats one CV, purchased credits do not expire while the account is open, and a failed format should not use a credit. New accounts get 5 free credits with no card needed.
