When to choose Resume.io
Choose Resume.io if a high volume of polished templates matters most and you're comfortable tracking a trial-then-renewal pricing structure, or if a text-only single resume genuinely covers what you need right now.
When to choose CVelo
Choose CVelo if the trial-that-renews-higher pattern isn't something you want to track, or if a text-only free download doesn't cover what you need. CVelo's free tier doesn't expire, and includes selection criteria, ADF translation and interview practice — none of which Resume.io offers at any tier checked.

Is Resume.io's trial actually cheap?+
The entry price is low — A$3.95 for 7 days when checked on 21 September 2026 — but it auto-renews to A$32.95 every 4 weeks unless cancelled, which works out dearer per month than the quarterly plan. Read the renewal terms before starting the trial.
Can I do anything useful on Resume.io's free plan?+
You can build and download one resume and cover letter, in plain text only, plus try the free ATS checker. Extra formats, more than one saved resume, and sharing and analytics all need a paid plan.
Does Resume.io handle Australian government applications?+
No. It has no feature for selection criteria, APS pitches or the two-page statements several Australian state governments require, and its templates default to US/international conventions rather than the Australian CV format.
