How to choose
Prioritize agents that run locally or avoid uploads if privacy matters most. Check current rate limits since free often caps daily scans or rewrites. Avoid freemium entries that push paid upgrades for full reports. Test ATS scoring accuracy on your own sample postings before committing workflow time.
