What counts as an application on Dreamwork?
On Dreamwork, an application counts when Apply or Autopilot sends it for you, up to 50 a month on Pro and 300 on Dreamer. One that fails or is canceled before it reaches the employer doesn't count.
Apply and Autopilot share one monthly allowance, and it resets on the 1st of each month (UTC), not on your billing date.
How many applications does each plan include?
Dreamwork sends up to 50 a month on Pro and 300 on Dreamer, counting Apply and Autopilot together. Matches and tailoring don't use this allowance.
The Free plan includes unlimited job matches and a tailored resume and cover letter for 5 jobs a day, resetting at midnight UTC. On the free plan you apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with your resume and cover letter ready.
When does an application count?
Dreamwork sets one application aside from your allowance when you tap Apply, or when Autopilot picks a role. If the application ends without reaching the employer, Dreamwork gives it back. What's left is what was sent.
What doesn't count?
- An application that failed before it reached the employer. Its status on your Dashboard reads Not submitted.
- An application you canceled before it was submitted.
- A role Autopilot picked but stopped because you paused it.
- An application waiting on Needs your info that you chose not to send, or that expired unanswered.
- Tailored resumes and cover letters, and jobs you apply to yourself on the employer's site.
What still counts even though it didn't clearly go through?
An application Dreamwork can't confirm either way. If an attempt may have reached the employer, its status reads Awaiting confirmation, then Couldn't confirm after 24 hours with no receipt, and it keeps counting, because attempts like that often did reach the employer. Dreamwork won't resend it for you, so the employer doesn't get two. What happens when a submission fails.
When does my count reset?
At midnight UTC on the 1st of each month, whatever your billing date. When you reach the limit, Apply tells you how many you've used across Apply and Autopilot and the date they reset, and Autopilot picks up again on that date. Unused applications don't carry over to the next month.
