Beyond the Jobscan score. Get matched.
Best for scoring and tuning a resume against a job description: Jobscan. Best if you want the whole search done, from matching to sending: Dreamwork, which we make. Unlike Jobscan, whose AI Optimize suggests edits and whose Auto Apply fills from your resume, it writes a resume and a cover letter for each job on every plan, including Free (5 jobs a day). Jobscan's Auto Apply sends nothing without your approval.
Jobscan scores your resume against a job description and now adds AI resume tools, resume-matched jobs, and an Auto Apply that sends nothing without your approval. Dreamwork ranks live roles to your resume, writes a resume and cover letter for each, and applies when you tap Apply, or on Autopilot without asking. Dreamwork's own numbers: 8,000+ people onboarded and 17,000+ applications submitted since June 2026 (as of Nov 2026). Dreamwork is free to start, and sending for you starts on Pro at $99 a quarter (about $33 a month) or $39 month to month. New accounts can try auto-apply free for 7 days (Pro trial; card required, cancel before it ends and you aren't charged).

Dreamwork vs Jobscan: FAQ
Is Dreamwork a better alternative to Jobscan?
For running the whole search, we think so. Jobscan's core is scoring a resume against a job description, and it now matches jobs to your resume and has an approval-only Auto Apply. We rank live roles to your resume, write each application for the role, and can apply on Autopilot.
Does Dreamwork optimize my resume for each role?
Yes. We tailor it to each role as part of the application, rather than handing you a score and suggested edits.
Can Dreamwork apply to jobs for me?
Yes. On Pro and Dreamer, tap Apply and Dreamwork writes a resume and cover letter for the role and sends the application. To check each one before it goes, set your Apply button to Review first. Autopilot, if you turn it on, applies to matches above your minimum match score without asking each time, up to 50 a month on Pro and 300 on Dreamer, and you can pause it anytime. On the free plan you apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with your resume and cover letter ready. Jobscan's Auto Apply also submits, but only with your approval each time, and it runs on credits.
Do I still need Jobscan?
Only if you want to score and tune keywords yourself, or optimize your LinkedIn profile. We do the per-role tailoring and the applying.
Is Dreamwork free?
Free to start, with unlimited matches and a tailored resume and cover letter for 5 jobs a day. On the free plan you apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with your resume and cover letter ready. Dreamwork sends applications for you, with Apply and Autopilot, on Pro and Dreamer. Jobscan has a free plan with 5 scans a month, and paid plans.
How much does Dreamwork cost?
On Dreamwork, Free is $0, Pro is $99 a quarter (about $33 a month) or $39 month to month, and Dreamer is $379 a quarter (about $126 a month) or $149 month to month. The Free plan includes unlimited matches, and a tailored resume and cover letter for 5 jobs a day. You apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with the resume and cover letter ready. Dreamwork sends for you on Pro and Dreamer. Paid plans bill monthly or quarterly, with no annual contract.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, for Pro. New accounts can try Pro free for 7 days, then it's $39 a month unless you cancel. The trial includes Apply and Autopilot, so Dreamwork can send applications for you during it. It's on monthly billing, one per account, and you can start it from the pricing page or when you go to apply or upgrade. Checkout asks for a card; cancel before the 7 days end and you aren't charged.
How many jobs can Dreamwork apply to for me?
Up to 50 applications a month on Pro and 300 on Dreamer, counting Apply and Autopilot together. On the Free plan Dreamwork doesn't send for you; it includes unlimited matches, and a tailored resume and cover letter for 5 jobs a day. You apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with the resume and cover letter ready. Autopilot is off until you turn it on.
How many job listings does Dreamwork search?
Dreamwork tracks 2.5M+ active roles, a live count as of Nov 15, 2026. It counts every job listing currently marked active in Dreamwork, across all sources and countries, including listings still being processed or de-duplicated. They come from company career pages and public listings, crawled daily, and are ranked to your resume. Dreamwork matches, tailors, and applies for roles across engineering, product, design, data, marketing, sales, operations, finance, HR, legal, and customer success at employers that hire through their own career sites and applicant tracking systems. It also lists frontline, healthcare, and trades jobs, but its matching and Autopilot aren't tuned for them yet.
Is Dreamwork the same as DreamWorks Animation?
No. Dreamwork, at dreamworkhq.com, is an AI job search agent that applies to jobs for you and is not related to DreamWorks Animation or its parks. It is made by Ponder Labs, Inc.
Can I review applications before Dreamwork sends them?
Yes, if you set your Apply button to Review first: Dreamwork writes each application and holds it for you to check before it sends. By default, one tap on Apply writes the application and sends it. Autopilot, if you turn it on, applies to matches above your minimum match score without asking each time, and you can pause it anytime.
