Teal alternative
A Teal alternative that sells tonight’s file, not another career dashboard.
Teal is a real product: a job-search workspace with tracking, resume tools, and match rates on a subscription. PasteJD sells a different unit of work — a tailored Word resume, a one-page cover letter, five before/after bullets, and an honest keyword map. Preview first. Unlock US$7 once via Stripe. No account.
Made for tonight’s application, not another dashboard.
Preview first. Pay once if you keep it. Stripe checkout. No signup.
The difference is the unit of work, not a fake scanner.
Teal combines resume building, job matching, AI writing, and application tracking in one workspace. That is useful if you are managing a search over months. It is the wrong purchase if the posting is open in the other tab and you need the files tonight.
PasteJD — the file
- Paste resume + job description, preview a rewrite.
- Unlock a Word resume, one-page letter, five diffs, honest gaps.
- No account. US$7 once via Stripe, after the preview.
- Requirements you do not meet stay off the page.
This is not a claim that Teal’s score is fake. A match rate measures overlap with one posting. PasteJD does not sell that number, and does not claim any ATS will rank you first.
How to leave with a file instead of a percentage
Two boxes. One preview. A one-time unlock if the draft is worth sending.
Paste the posting
The full job description, not a paraphrase. That is the language the file has to speak.
Paste your resume
The one you actually have. PasteJD will not add employers, titles, dates, or skills that were not there.
Preview the draft
Judge the rewrite before you pay. If it is not better, close the tab. No score to chase.
Unlock US$7 once
Stripe, no account, no subscription. Download the Word resume and the rest of the pack.
What $7 unlocks — one application, not a workspace
The package is the file you send tonight. Edit it before you send it. It was generated.
01
Tailored Word resume
Reordered and rewritten around this posting. Editable .docx, not a locked PDF template.
02
One-page cover letter
Connects experience you already have to this role. It does not invent a story.
03
Five before/after bullets
The same jobs, said in this posting’s language, so you can see exactly what changed.
04
Keyword map with gaps
What you support, and what you don’t. Gaps stay gaps. That is the point.
What a rewrite actually looks like
Examples from demo resumes, not customer quotes. Live generates are conservative polish — not punchier than this. PasteJD does not add employers or skills that were missing from the source.
Example · not a customer
Alex Martin · product owner
Demo resume, run against a B2B SaaS product manager posting.
Before
Worked with developers on features
After
Collaborated with developers on feature development, helping move planned product work from discussion toward delivery.
PLG — not in the resume
Activation — not in the resume
Experimentation — not in the resume
The posting asked for those words. They did not appear in the draft, because they were not in the source resume. A score-chasing rewrite would have stuffed them in.
Example · not a customer
Sam Okonkwo · engineer
Demo resume, run against a full-stack / React posting.
Before
Built web apps in React
After
Built React web applications, translating product requirements into functional user-facing software across Brightlane projects.
TypeScript — not in the resume
PostgreSQL — not in the resume
AWS — not in the resume
Testing and mentoring were also in the posting. Same rule: if it was not in the resume, it is a gap, not a new bullet.
PasteJD vs Teal
If you want a workspace combining resume tools, matching, and application tracking, Teal already sells that. This is the file for the posting in the other tab.
| Teal | PasteJD | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit of work | An ongoing job-search workspace and AI tools | Tonight’s application pack |
| What you paste | Resumes, jobs, and application data in one workspace | Resume + JD, then a rewrite you can preview |
| What you take home | Resume builder, AI rewriter, cover letters, tracking, and match tools | Word resume, one-page letter, five diffs, honest keyword map |
| Gaps | Shown so you can raise the rate | Listed and left off the page |
| Account | Yes — it is a subscription product | No account |
| Price | Monthly | US$7 once, via Stripe, after preview |
Teal is a real product with a real job: a career workspace with resume, matching, writing, and tracking tools across free and paid tiers. If you are applying to this role tonight, a monthly workspace is the wrong unit of work. For the stuffing-vs-tailoring version of this argument, see paste a job description into a resume.
Who should stay on Teal. Who should open PasteJD.
An honest split. The wrong alternative page pretends one product is a scam. These two just sell different things.
Stay with Teal if…
- You want resume building, AI rewriting, and application tracking together.
- You are managing many postings, contacts, and versions over time.
- An ongoing account with free and recurring paid tiers fits your workflow.
Open PasteJD if…
- One posting is open tonight and the resume in front of you is generic.
- You want the Word file and the cover letter, not a percentage.
- You will not invent skills to chase a score — gaps should stay gaps.
FAQ — Teal alternative, scores, $7
Straight answers. PasteJD does not sell a match percentage and will not invent the missing years.
What is a Teal alternative if I don’t want another job-search dashboard?
PasteJD. Teal is a career workspace with tracking, CRM-style boards, and recurring plans. PasteJD sells tonight’s application pack: a tailored Word resume, a one-page cover letter, five before/after bullets, and a keyword map with honest gaps. Preview first, then US$7 once via Stripe. No account.
Does PasteJD replace Teal’s job tracker?
No. PasteJD does not sell a match percentage and does not claim any ATS will rank you first. You get an editable Word file and a map of which posting keywords you actually support. Gaps stay gaps instead of being written into the resume to chase a number.
Is PasteJD cheaper than Teal?
They sell different units of work. Teal has a free tier and recurring Teal+ plans for advanced tools. PasteJD is US$7 once after you preview the draft. If you are applying to one role tonight, you are buying a file, not an ongoing workspace. Teal’s current plan prices live on Teal; this page does not invent them.
Do I need an account to use PasteJD?
No account. Paste a job description and your resume, preview the draft, and unlock once for US$7 if you keep it. Drafts expire in seven days. Raw inputs are not stored. Questions: support@pastejd.com.
Will PasteJD invent keywords to raise a score?
No. Tailoring is restating work you did in the employer’s words. Inventing a skill, title, employer, or metric is dishonest. Live drafts are conservative: “Worked with developers on features” becomes “Collaborated with developers on feature development…” — not a fake launch number, and not a stuffed keyword to juice a rate.
What do I get for $7?
A tailored Word resume, a one-page cover letter, five before/after bullets, and a keyword map with gaps. Preview first. Pay via Stripe if you keep the draft. No subscription.
Should I still use Teal?
If you want resume building, AI rewriting, match tools, and application tracking in one ongoing workspace, Teal already sells that. PasteJD is for the posting in the other tab: preview the rewrite, unlock the files, send tonight.
