About the Company
Novoresume was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark by a team that experienced the job search process firsthand, including over 1,000 rejections between the founders before building the product they wished had existed.
The company has been awarded Denmark's Gazelle Award twice, recognizing Novoresume as one of the fastest-growing companies in Denmark. It remains independently owned and bootstrapped, which means product decisions are driven by what actually helps users, not by investor metrics.
The team is small, the mission is focused: help people present themselves the way they deserve to be seen.

Great experience helping my daughter build her first resume
I used Novoresume as an online resume builder to help my 15-year-old put together her very first resume, and it was a really good experience. As a guided resume builder, it walked us through each section step by step, which made the whole process feel manageable instead of overwhelming, especially for a teenager who hasn't had much work experience yet.
The content suggestions were super helpful. Novoresume offered prompts and examples that helped her think about transferable skills, volunteer work, and school activities in ways she wouldn't have considered on her own.
What really set it apart though was the AI resume builder feedback. It flagged areas that needed to be strengthened, pointed out weak phrasing, and gave specific suggestions for improvement.
Easy to use, well-designed, and a great tool whether you're brand new to resumes or just want a polished result. Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to write this, Brittney, and for the kind words. Helping a 15-year-old put together her first resume is genuinely one of the use cases we think about most when building the product, so it's good to hear it landed the way it was supposed to.
Wishing your daughter the best of luck with whatever she applies for first.
waste of time
They just try to lure you into using their website, but later you’re forced to pay even to download the CV you already designed. It feels misleading and like a waste of time. The platform gives the impression that the service is free at first, only to lock important features behind a paywall at the end. Even if we use only the basic elements in our resume, after few days the download option becomes premium mentioning the basic period is expired.

Hi Prasanna, thanks for the feedback, but we'd like to address this directly because the description doesn't match how Novoresume actually works.
Every Premium feature inside our editor is clearly marked with a special icon from the moment you add it, and everything is listed accordingly upfront. There is no hidden paywall that appears only at the download step. If you've added a Premium element and want to download for free, you can switch it to the Basic equivalent and export your resume as a PDF without paying anything. The split between Basic and Premium is also visible at the template selection stage, before you start building, so you know exactly what's free and what isn't from the start.
We also don't require a credit card to sign up, we don't sell user data, and we don't show ads anywhere on the site. Several of our tools are completely free for everyone with no account needed, including our ATS Resume Checker (https://novoresume.com/tools/ats-resume-checker) and Skill Gap Analyzer (https://novoresume.com/tools/skill-gap-analyzer), with ten more free tools on the way.
If you ran into a specific situation where a Premium feature wasn't clearly marked, we'd genuinely like to know about it so we can fix it. Write to contact@novoresume.com with a screenshot or short description and we'll look at your account directly and walk you through the free download path.
Disappointed
I have been using this platform for years now and I genuinely don't understand the recent plan changes. Way to make building resumes less accessible for everyone.

Hi Kareen, thanks for the years of using Novoresume, and we mean that sincerely. Feedback from long-term users hits differently than feedback from someone trying the product for the first time, and we want to address yours honestly rather than defensively.
You're right that the change is a real one, and we understand the frustration. For 10 years we kept Basic completely free for everyone, and we genuinely wish we could have kept it that way forever. The reality is that AI has hit our organic traffic hard over the past years, and the maths on supporting millions of free users while paying the team that builds the product stopped working. We're now experimenting with what Basic should look like going forward, which is why you've seen the wording shift. That experimentation is in progress, not a final state.
A few things worth knowing as a returning user specifically. When you log back into your existing account, we give a 24h window to download all your existing documents on Basic, exactly as it used to work. If that didn't trigger for you, write to contact@novoresume.com and we'll sort it directly. We're also continuing to build genuinely useful tools that are completely free for everyone, including our ATS Resume Checker (https://novoresume.com/tools/ats-resume-checker) and Skill Gap Analyzer (https://novoresume.com/tools/skill-gap-analyzer), with ten more on the way.
We didn't want to get here, and we're sorry the change landed on long-time users like yourself without enough warning. Thanks again for the years of support.

Hi Dhiaa, thanks for the feedback, and we'd like to clear this up because there's actually a path here that you may not have seen.
You can absolutely get the full experience on Novoresume. That's why we let users build their resume with Premium features inside a Basic account in the first place. You see the exact resume in the editor as it would look fully designed, and from there you have two options. If you like the Premium version and want to download it as-is, you can upgrade. If you'd rather download for free, you can switch the Premium elements to their Basic equivalents and export the PDF without paying anything.
Every Premium feature is marked with an icon inside the editor so you can spot which ones to switch. If you'd like, write to contact@novoresume.com with your account email and we'll walk you through it step by step so you can get your resume downloaded for free.
A few other things worth knowing: we don't require a credit card to sign up, we don't sell user data, and we don't show ads. Several of our tools are also completely free for everyone, including our ATS Resume Checker (https://novoresume.com/tools/ats-resume-checker) and Skill Gap Analyzer (https://novoresume.com/tools/skill-gap-analyzer).
Sorry the path to a free download wasn't clearer in your case. Reach out and we'll get you sorted.
More than just a resume builder
Beautifully designed, professional resume templates that are easy to customize. What surprised me most is the team – they gave me free, detailed feedback on my resume through their Reddit community and even upgraded my account to Premium at no cost. Genuinely helpful, especially during an active job search. Highly recommended.

Hi Dhritiman, we hear you, and we want to clear something up.
Novoresume has a fully functioning Basic plan that's completely free. You can build, edit, and download a resume without paying anything.
We also offer free tools that genuinely help with job hunting:
• ATS Resume Checker (novoresume.com/tools/ats-resume-checker): scans your resume the way real applicant tracking systems do.
• Skill Gap Analyzer (novoresume.com/tools/skill-gap-analyzer): compares your resume to the job ad you're targeting and shows what's missing.
We're rolling out 10 more FREE tools in the coming months, all aimed at improving your chances of landing a job.
Premium is for users who want extra templates, multi-page resumes, and more advanced features. A professional resume writer typically charges $200 to $600 per resume. Premium costs a small fraction of that, around 1% of the first month's salary at the job you're applying for, on a product proven to increase interview rates.
If you hit a paywall you didn't expect, email support@novoresume.com and we'll sort it.

Reply from Novorésumé - BEST AI Resume Builder
Thanks for the feedback, Mohammad. We genuinely want to improve, but reviews like “This is the worst website I have ever seen” don’t really help us understand what went wrong.
Was the issue related to the resume editor, pricing, downloads, account setup, performance, or something else entirely?
If you’re open to sharing a few more details here or by emailing contact@novoresume.com, we’ll gladly look into it directly.
A complete scam аnd the answer to your answer аnd another answer аnd another answer
There is no option for a true one-time purchase, unlike other similar websites that offer short-term access (for example, 7 days) at a reasonable price.
Instead, you are effectively forced to pay for at least a full month if you want to use Premium features. It doesn’t matter whether you need the service for a few hours or a couple of days — the minimum cost is still a monthly plan. For people who just need to create or update a resume once in a while, this is clearly excessive.
What makes this more frustrating is the user experience. You invest time creating and refining your resume, and only when you are ready to download it do the limitations become fully obvious. Yes, Premium elements may be marked, but in practice this still leads to a situation where you either redo parts of your work or pay.
The claim about a “7-day free” option is also misleading in this context. It is not a full-featured trial, but a restricted Basic version that does not reflect the actual Premium experience most users expect.
Also, while you state that there is no subscription, the reality is that the pricing model is still based on time-limited access (month/quarter/year), with no shorter or truly one-time option available.
In the end, this creates a strong feeling of frustration. The pricing is not aligned with how people actually use such services — occasionally, not continuously.
Hi, thank you for your detailed reply.
After reviewing your pricing page more carefully, I’d like to clarify that my concern is not about auto-renewal or subscriptions in the strict technical sense.
The core issue is that there is no short-term or one-time access option. The minimum paid option is still a full month, which is not practical for users who only need the service for a few hours or a couple of days. In that sense, whether it is called a “subscription” or not does not really change the user experience.
Regarding the free Basic version, I understand that it exists, but it is clearly limited and does not represent the full functionality most users expect when creating a resume. So calling it a “7-day free” option can be misleading in practice.
As for Premium features being marked, while technically correct, this does not fully prevent the situation where a user invests time into building a resume and only later realizes that key elements require payment or rework.
So my feedback remains the same: the main issue is the lack of a flexible, short-term or one-time payment option that better matches real user needs.
I appreciate your response, but I believe this is more of a pricing model concern than a misunderstanding.
I understand that this is your business model, and ultimately it is your decision how to structure pricing. I also appreciate the fact that you responded in detail instead of sending a generic support reply.
However, I still believe the “95%” argument is a clear exaggeration. There are many people who are not starting a full multi-month job search from scratch. Some already have an existing resume and only need to update a few sections, export it professionally, and move on.
Also, adding a short-term paid option would not create “hundreds of confusing pricing variants.” A simple 7-day access pass or a one-time export option would already solve the issue for many users. That is only one or two additional options, not a completely different pricing ecosystem.
Another important point is that job markets differ significantly between countries and industries. Not every employer uses AI ATS systems heavily, and not every hiring process requires dozens of tailored resumes and cover letters. Your model seems heavily optimized around one specific hiring approach, mainly common in certain markets, but that does not necessarily reflect how job searching works everywhere.
So while I respect your business decision, I still believe the platform would benefit from offering at least one flexible short-term option for users whose needs are more occasional than long-term.

Hi Eduard, thanks for engaging with the response rather than letting it sit. Let us add some context on the pricing model itself, since that seems to be where we genuinely disagree.
Our current pricing wasn't picked arbitrarily. It's the result of years of research across millions of users, and it reflects how job searching actually works rather than how we'd ideally like it to work. Most people don't need a resume tool for "a few hours" because they don't apply to one job. They apply to dozens, sometimes hundreds, and a serious job search means tailoring the resume and cover letter for each role to actually land callbacks. The "build one perfect resume in two hours and never touch it again" approach is a failed strategy for more than 95% of job seekers, which is precisely why no serious resume tool is built around it. It doesn't match what gets people hired.
On the "free Basic is misleading" point, we'd push back on that one. Basic includes everything you need to build and download a complete, professional, ATS-friendly one-page resume. The split between Basic and Premium is visible from the moment you open the editor. Premium templates are clearly labeled as such, and every Premium feature carries an icon next to it inside the editor. Nothing reveals itself only at checkout. A user who only wants a Basic resume can build and download one without ever touching a Premium element.
What you're describing as the fix, a few-hours or true one-time micro-payment tier, isn't something we can offer without breaking the experience for the 95%+ of users the current model actually serves. Hundreds of niche pricing variants would confuse the people this is built for, not help them. That's a deliberate tradeoff, not an oversight.
On top of Basic, we also have several genuinely useful tools that are completely free for anyone, no signup required, including our ATS Resume Checker: novoresume.com/tools/ats-resume-checker , and our Skill Gap Analyzer: novoresume.com/tools/skill-gap-analyzer Ten more free tools are on the way.
So to be straight about it: nothing on Novoresume is hidden, paywalled silently, or misleading. You see exactly what's free and what's Premium at every step, and you don't have to upgrade until you've decided the result is worth paying for.
We are sorry that the model wasn't a fit for your specific use case. It's the model that genuinely works best for the people this product is built for, and that's not something we're going to redesign around a niche pattern that data tells us doesn't actually match how successful job searches happen.
Edit: Eduard, fair points and we appreciate the back-and-forth here. You're right that "95%" was a stronger framing than the data strictly supports, and your example of someone with an existing resume who just needs to update and export is a real use case we hear. We'll bring this back to the team and look at whether a short-term access option could work alongside our existing model without complicating the experience for everyone else. No promises, but it's worth the research.
The one thing we'd gently push back on is the 1-star rating itself. That's the lowest score on the scale, and pricing model preference alone feels like a harsh way to use it. It doesn't account for whether the product actually does what it's supposed to do, the quality of the templates, the ATS performance, or the outcomes. Out of 18M+ users, 77% told us Novoresume helped them land a job, and 83% of those landed in their target industry. A 1-star review reads to anyone scrolling past as "this product doesn't work," which isn't really what your feedback is saying. If you'd consider revisiting the rating to better reflect the actual issue, which is a pricing flexibility concern rather than a product quality one, we'd genuinely appreciate it.
Either way, thanks for the constructive thread, it's more useful than most of the feedback we get. 😊

Thank you so much for sticking with us and for recommending Novoresume, Sam. The flexibility you mentioned is exactly what we built the pricing around, people shouldn't pay for a tool they only need a few times a year. Glad to hear the cover letter builder and job tracker are working well for you too. More good stuff is on the way.
