Common questions

Is the free plan actually free — no credit card?
Yes. Free plan is forever-free with no credit card required. You get 1 resume, a set of free templates, 3 ATS checks, and a clean PDF export. We show pricing clearly before you sign up — no bait-and-switch.
What is an ATS check and why does it matter?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies to automatically filter resumes. If your resume doesn't match the job's keywords, a human never sees it. Our ATS check scores your resume against the actual job description and tells you exactly what to fix.
Can I switch templates without losing my data?
Yes. Your resume content is stored separately from the template design. Switch templates any time — all your work stays intact.
What's different about SteadyCV vs Zety or Canva?
Zety builds a resume then paywalls the download. Canva has thousands of generic templates but zero ATS support. SteadyCV has 27 templates built for specific industries with real sample content — and you can download for free without a credit card.
What file formats can I download?
Free plan: PDF. Pro plan: PDF and Word (.docx). Both formats are generated from the same source so formatting stays pixel-perfect.
Is my resume data private?
Your data is only used to generate and display your resume. We don't share, sell, or train AI models on your personal information.
