Resume Worded is a useful tool. Its free Score My Resume review gives you a resume score out of 100 built from more than 30 recruiter checks, and the full report, including the line by line analysis, is part of Pro. The thing to understand is what that score is and is not. It grades your resume in general, against good resume habits, not against the specific job you are about to apply for. Resume Worded's tool for a particular job description is called Targeted Resume, and its full report is part of Pro too.
An ATS search looks for the words a role asks for. Two applications to two different jobs need two different sets of keywords, even with the same resume underneath. So a general grade is a nice starting point, but the part that moves the needle is matching a real job description, and that is the part where Resume Worded keeps the full report for Pro. ATSAlign's match is free: paste the posting, upload your resume, and you see your match score and the first missing keywords for that role, with the full list in ATSAlign Pro.
As of October 2026, Resume Worded Pro bundles AI rewrites, a LinkedIn review and resume templates for $49 a month, $99 a quarter or $229 a year. If you want that whole suite and you are happy with a subscription, it is a reasonable package. If you mainly want to know how your resume matches a specific job, and you would rather not start a subscription to find out, ATSAlign keeps the check free. The full keyword list and the AI rewrite come with ATSAlign Pro, a one time purchase that never renews.
Use Resume Worded's free Score My Resume for a general health check on your writing. Use ATSAlign when you want a free, job specific keyword match before you hit apply. They pair well, and neither one asks you to subscribe just to see where you stand.
