Enhancv's whole appeal is design. It helps you make a resume that stands out visually, with sidebars, icons, color, and personality. For a human reader, especially in creative or design leaning fields, that can be a real edge. The trade off is that the same visual touches, columns, sidebars, and text boxes, can confuse an ATS parser, which prefers plain single column text. A resume that looks striking to a recruiter can still lose information on its way through the software.
Enhancv runs on a seven day free trial that needs no card, but the free output carries Enhancv branding and caps how many items you can list, and after the trial it moves to a subscription that starts around twenty dollars a month. It is a capable builder if design is your priority and you are happy to subscribe. The thing it does not do is tell you, for free, whether your finished resume will actually parse and match a specific job.
ATSAlign is the free check that sits on top of whatever you build. Upload your Enhancv resume, paste the job description, and it tells you both whether the formatting is ATS safe and which keywords from that specific role are missing. If the design is costing you parseability, you find out before a real application does. The check is free and needs no account, and the optional AI rewrite is a one time purchase rather than a subscription.
If you want a resume that looks great, Enhancv is a strong choice, just be careful that the design does not outrun the parser. Run the result through ATSAlign to confirm it still reads cleanly and matches the job. Looking good and passing the filter are two different tests, and you want to pass both.
The entire process takes under 2 minutes and gives you a clear, actionable report.
