Depends

Should I use Zety?

Not disclosed - zety.com

· 1 month ago

Fine if you need one polished resume fast and cancel the $1.95 trial before day 14. Avoid a subscription: $25.95 every four weeks plus recurring cancellation complaints make free tools the safer bet.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 20+ public sources: independent 2026 reviews, Trustpilot, Reddit threads, and Zety's own pages. Pricing figures conflict between sources; verify at checkout.

Building is free; downloading is paywalled — the 'free' label is misleading.

Cancellation complaints recur; screenshot every step and keep confirmation emails.
