Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free plan, or do I need to pay to get started?

Yes — Kickresume offers a permanent free tier that includes four resume templates, four cover letter templates, one website template, access to 1,500+ resume examples, and unlimited downloads. Premium templates and AI features require a paid plan.

What does the paid plan add over the free tier?

Paid plans unlock the full library of 40+ resume and cover letter templates, the GPT-4.1 AI Writer, the ATS Resume Checker, the Career Map tool, seven personal website templates, and mobile app access. Plans are available on monthly, quarterly, or annual billing cycles.

How does the AI resume writer work?

The AI writer is powered by OpenAI GPT-4.1. You provide your job title and basic details, and it generates polished, role-specific work experience bullet points and cover letter paragraphs that you can edit and refine.

Will my resume pass ATS (Applicant Tracking System) filters?

Kickresume's templates are designed to be ATS-friendly, and the built-in Resume Checker (available on paid plans) scores your resume and flags issues — such as missing keywords or formatting problems — that could cause it to be filtered out before a human reviewer sees it.

Does Kickresume integrate with LinkedIn?

Yes. You can import your LinkedIn profile data directly into Kickresume to pre-populate your resume, saving significant time on the initial setup before you customize and refine the content.
