Enhancv Review

Enhancv is a resume and cover letter builder with AI writing, tailoring to a job ad, an ATS match score, AI mock interviews and a job tracker. What decides whether it suits you is the free plan: it lasts 7 days and puts Enhancv branding on the resume, so in practice a finished resume means paying for Pro.

What is Enhancv?

Enhancv is based in Sofia, Bulgaria. It runs as a web app, with a Chrome extension that saves job posts from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Greenhouse and Workday into its tracker.

The builder is aimed at a designed resume with distinctive sections that tell your story. All templates and design tools are open from the first day, including on the free plan.

Building your resume with Enhancv

AI writing covers the core of a resume. A bullet point generator writes job-specific bullets that highlight your achievements, and separate generators write a summary, an objective and a headline. You can also turn a LinkedIn profile into a resume, though Enhancv does not review or rewrite the profile.

Tailoring starts from the job ad. Paste it into the builder and Enhancv shows what you need to include to pass the ATS screening. The ATS check gives a match score, keyword recommendations and tips to improve your chances of an interview, and it is a Pro feature.

Cover letters come from an AI cover letter generator, or from a builder that takes you through the letter section by section. For interviews, Enhancv runs AI mock interviews: it builds likely questions and answers from your resume and the job description, and adds a brief on the company.

The job application tracker is a visual dashboard where you track applications, set reminders and auto-fill job details. Enhancv does not apply for you; the extension saves job posts to the tracker and you apply yourself. Resumes download as PDF, which keeps the layout exactly as designed, and there is no Word download.

Enhancv pricing: what each plan gives

The free plan lasts 7 days. It includes all resume templates and design tools, but only the basic resume sections, a maximum of 12 section items, and Enhancv branding on the resume. When the 7 days end, the plan expires without any charge.

Pro is one tier with 300 resumes and cover letters, and it removes the branding. It costs $39 billed each month, $69 every 3 months ($23 a month), or $99 every 6 months ($16.50 a month). There is no annual plan and no lifetime plan.

You are charged for the whole period at the start of each one, and plans renew at the same price. Monthly fees are not refunded once used, while quarterly and six-month plans get a partial pro-rated refund.

Privacy and support

For people in the EU and UK, Enhancv's privacy policy sets out the legal bases it relies on under the GDPR and UK GDPR. Support runs by email at help@enhancv.com and through a help center, with a focus on Pro customers and replies aimed for the same day.

Who Enhancv suits

Enhancv suits job seekers who want a designed resume with distinctive sections, AI writing for bullets and summaries, and interview preparation built from the actual job description. Quarterly and six-month billing bring the monthly cost well down for a search that runs a few months.

It suits less well anyone hoping to finish a resume for free, since the free plan expires after 7 days and carries Enhancv branding. Anyone who needs a Word file, or wants the ATS match score without paying, will need to look at what Pro gives first.
