Guul vs Teal: a full job-search tracker or a one-time resume pass?
Teal combines an application tracker, browser extension and resume workspace sold in 7-, 30- and 90-day recurring cycles. Guul focuses on finishing your resume with explainable ATS previews and One Resume ($4.99 USD one time).
Overview
Teal is built for organizing a multi-application search alongside resume editing, with paid Teal+ options published in 7-, 30- and 90-day billing periods (reviewed October 2, 2026). Guul is built for candidates who want to import or edit a resume, inspect how Workday, Greenhouse and Lever simulations parse their fields, and pay once ($4.99 USD for One Resume) for 30 days of PDF, Word and plain-text downloads without a recurring workspace subscription.
What Teal offers
Teal combines resume work with job-search organization. Its paid options are published in seven-, 30- and 90-day periods. Those periods should be compared as written rather than relabelled as a week, calendar month and quarter without checking terms.
What Guul offers
Import and edit free. PDF, Word and plain-text downloads require One Resume or a qualifying plan. One Resume costs $4.99 USD one time and gives unlimited PDF, Word and plain-text downloads of that one resume for 30 days from purchase. It does not renew. Guul also offers recurring plans. Check the local price and scope before purchasing.

Focused resume finishing versus a full job-search workspace
Teal is designed around ongoing search management: saving job postings, tracking interview stages and tweaking keyword scores per posting. If you use that CRM-style workflow every day, a document-only pass will not replace those tracking features. If you already track applications in your own notes or spreadsheet and simply need a clean, well-parsed PDF and Word resume, paying for a recurring workspace may be more than you need. Guul focuses on the document itself: layout integrity, explainable ATS field extraction and truthful wording.
Fixed-day recurring cycles versus paying once for one resume
At our October 2, 2026 review, Teal published 7-day, 30-day and 90-day recurring plans. Fixed-day plans renew on their day count until cancelled. Guul’s One Resume is a single $4.99 USD charge that gives unlimited PDF, Word and plain-text downloads of that one resume for 30 days from purchase and never auto-renews.
Next steps: try the free ATS checker, import a draft you started elsewhere, or see prices, including One Resume.
When Teal may fit better
Teal may fit an active search where tracking applications and keeping related job information together matters as much as the resume document.
How to keep and move your draft
Keep your resume text and the job descriptions it targets. Export application records separately if you need them; moving a resume does not automatically migrate a job tracker.
Paste your own resume text into Guul. Review the imported document before buying downloads.
Before you buy or cancel
Check the exact plan duration and renewal setting, which features remain free, and what data you can retain after a downgrade.

Need to cancel Teal first?
Official cancel steps with dated sources. Importing into Guul does not stop the old subscription.

Bring your own text into Guul and review the result. Importing is free; PDF, Word and plain-text downloads require a one-time purchase or a Pro plan.
Before you decide
- Check the exact plan duration and renewal setting, which features remain free, and what data you can retain after a downgrade.
- List the document formats you need before comparing plans. An editable Word file, a finished PDF and a builder’s internal project data are different outputs.
- Save the exact resume you submit and the job description it targets. Keep a separate editable copy so your next application does not depend on continued access to one account.
- Try the editing controls with your own material, inspect a permitted export and check the full checkout commitment. Do not buy a second product just to resolve a billing question with the first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Teal or Guul?
Choose Teal if you want a daily workspace to bookmark jobs, track application stages and manage many resume versions in one tool. Choose Guul if you primarily want to finish a resume, verify its reading order in ATS simulations, and buy One Resume ($4.99 USD one time) without a recurring plan.
Are Teal’s 30-day and 90-day plans the same as calendar months?
A 30-day period renews every 30 days (roughly 12.17 times over 365 days), and a 90-day period renews every 90 days. Check the exact day count and renewal date in checkout.
Does moving my resume to Guul move my Teal job tracker?
No. Guul imports your resume document (via PDF upload or pasted text). Keep a separate export or backup of any job-tracking notes you stored in Teal.
Can I use Guul’s ATS checker before buying a pass?
Yes. You can import your draft and inspect basic ATS findings for free. Signing in may be required for complete findings, and PDF, Word and plain-text downloads require One Resume or a qualifying plan.
Build your resume and review it before buying.
Import and edit free. PDF, Word and plain-text downloads need One Resume, a 3- or 5-resume pack, or a Pro plan. One Resume gives unlimited PDF, Word and plain-text downloads of that one resume for 30 days from purchase and does not renew.
