One payment, not a plan you have to cancel
Most resume builders sell access by the month — or every four weeks. A four-week cycle bills about thirteen times per year, not twelve. That is why a low intro price can still cost hundreds over a year. Guul’s guide to four-week billing adds up the yearly totals. Students who only need one internship PDF can start with the guide for students.
One Resume is $4.99 USD, charged once (₹299 for purchases made from India). It is the same price you see on Pricing. It unlocks unlimited PDF, Word and plain-text downloads of one resume for 30 days from purchase. It does not renew. Like every Guul export, it carries no branding.India prices apply to eligible purchases made from India; changing your browser locale does not establish eligibility. Existing subscriptions retain their billing currency. Check the final total, including any taxes or discounts, and available payment methods at checkout. If you later want to work on several resumes at once, a monthly plan is there — but you would be choosing it, not defaulting into it.
