Findr vs Huntr: how the two job trackers actually compare.
Huntr popularized the drag-and-drop job board as a category, and its free plan is genuinely generous. Findr builds on the same core idea — a board, a resume, and your search insights in one system — with a different balance of pricing and AI depth. Here's an honest, feature-by-feature look at both.
Comparison based on publicly listed plans and features as of July 2026.
Quick verdict: Huntr is a strong pick if you want a free-forever board with solid basics and don't mind capping at 100 tracked jobs on the free tier. Findr is built the same way — job board, contacts, resumes, and insights as one system — and is worth a look if you want to compare pricing tiers and AI-tailoring workflows side by side before committing to a paid plan.
Both tools solve the same core problem: your search living in a spreadsheet or your inbox instead of a system built for it. The differences show up in pricing structure and how deep the AI tailoring goes.

Tracking, tailoring, pricing, and your data.
Job tracking: near-identical structure
Both tools center on the same idea — a visual board with Saved, Applied, Interviewing, and Offer columns, a Chrome extension that clips postings straight into a card, and a map view for thinking about your search geographically. Free-tier limits also land in the same place: up to 100 tracked jobs, unlimited contacts, and up to 100 document uploads before you'd need a paid plan. If you're choosing between the two on tracking alone, the free-tier ceiling won't be the deciding factor — the AI tooling and interface will be.
AI resume tailoring and generation
Findr's AI resume builder generates summaries, skills sections, and achievement bullets, and its tailoring tool rewrites a resume against a specific job description with a match score showing keyword and requirement coverage. Huntr offers the same shape of feature — job-tailored resumes with matching and scoring, both basic on the free plan and advanced (full keyword visibility, spellcheck, outcomes, metrics) on Pro. Both give you 2 free tailored resumes and 2 free application packets before the meters reset on the next billing period; both make tailoring, cover letters, and reviews unlimited on their paid tier.
Pricing: nearly matched, one gap
Findr Pro runs $29/month, $65 billed quarterly (~$22/month), or $116 billed every six months (~$19/month) — cancel anytime, self-serve. Huntr Pro is priced at the same $40/month and $90/quarter (~$30/month), with a semiannual rate of $160 (~$26.66/month). At that level, the decision comes down to which product's workflow and interface you'd rather use daily, not which one is cheaper — the plans are within cents of each other.
Data ownership and privacy
Findr never sells your data and doesn't train AI models on it. Your job history, resumes, and contacts stay yours, and Findr adds a JSON export so you can pull a full copy of your data out at any time — useful if you ever want to migrate, back up, or just see everything the system holds on your search. Huntr's public pricing page doesn't list a comparable self-serve export feature, so if portability matters to you, confirm directly with Huntr before committing.
Who should actually choose Huntr.
Huntr has been in the job-tracker space long enough to have a mature, well-tested product, and its free plan alone covers a full search for most people — a generous ceiling before anything requires payment. If you've already built a workflow around Huntr, or a friend's recommendation is what brought you here, there's no strong feature-based reason to switch. Pick Huntr if you want an established tool with a large existing user base and don't need JSON data export. Pick Findr if you'd rather try a newer system that matches Huntr feature-for-feature on tracking and AI tailoring, adds full data portability, and is built specifically around the idea of treating your job search like an applicant tracking system for the applicant.
Findr vs Huntr FAQ.
Is Findr actually a Huntr alternative, or just similar?
It's a genuine alternative — same core model (board, contacts, resumes, AI tailoring, insights, one system) with its own interface and product decisions. If you're evaluating Huntr and want a second option that covers the same ground, Findr is built for that comparison.
Which one is cheaper?
Findr is the less expensive of the two as of July 2026: $29/month against Huntr's $40/month, and roughly $19–$22/month on Findr's longer billing cycles against Huntr's ~$27–$30. Both offer quarterly and semiannual discounts, and both include a usable free tier — so try both free plans before paying for either.
Can I export my data if I switch?
From Findr, yes — a full JSON export of your job history, contacts, and resumes is included. Huntr's pricing page doesn't list a self-serve export option, so check directly with Huntr if that matters to your decision.
Do both offer a free plan with no credit card?
Yes. Both Findr and Huntr have a free tier that covers job tracking up to 100 roles, a Chrome clipper, map view, unlimited contacts, and a couple of free AI-tailored resumes, with no card required to start.
What's the easiest way to decide?
Since pricing and free-tier limits are nearly identical, try both on a real job search for a week. Track the same handful of roles in each and see which board, extension, and AI tailoring flow you reach for without thinking about it.
