JobHacki vs AIApply vs Sonara vs Jobright: AI job search tools compared (2026)
Five tools, five very different pricing models. This page puts the published (or, where a vendor does not publish, the owner-verified) prices side by side so you can compare cost, entry risk and what is included before you pay anyone. JobHacki is our own product, so read our column with that in mind: we have kept the language factual, linked every vendor, and dated every figure.
Prices checked September 2026 (RoboApply: October 2026). Competitor pricing may change — check each vendor's site.

How much does All-Access cost?
$1 for 7 days, then $7/month. Cancel anytime. The trial is $1 for 7 days; after that the membership renews automatically at $7/mo until you cancel, which you can do at any time from your Whop account. Pricing is fully public on this site and on the checkout page.
- All 7 tools: AI Auto Apply, Job Directory, Resume Builder, Resume Match, Interview Role Play (AI mock interviews), Playbook Directory and Tool Directory
- 110 playbooks (103 free) and a live job directory with 1,100,000+ ATS listings from 37,000+ companies (browse the directory)
- 360 vetted tools, prompts, repos and GPTs across 86 categories
- Community access
- A free tier (Playbook Directory, Job Directory, community) that needs no card
Where this fits: a 7-day trial is a lower-risk way to try a full toolkit than committing $50 or more per month up front, and the job directory is included rather than sold separately.
How much does AIApply cost?
AIApply’s pricing is not publicly listed; plans are shown after onboarding. As of September 2026 the observed plans were $50/month, $99/month and $199 per 3 months. Because there is no public pricing page, confirm the current figures inside the product before subscribing. Whether a free tier exists is likewise not publicly stated.

How much does Sonara AI cost?
Sonara is auto-apply focused: it submits applications on your behalf. Its entry offer is a $2.95 trial that ends after 14 days or 10 applications, whichever comes first, and then auto-renews at $23.95 every 4 weeks (about 13 charges per year). An annual plan is $71.40. Note the 4-week cycle: it is not a calendar month, so there are 13 billing periods in a year rather than 12.
Vendor: sonara.ai
How much does Jobright AI cost?
Jobright offers a free tier and a paid tier listed at $499†. The billing period for that figure is as stated on Jobright’s own site, so check it there before comparing it with a monthly price. If you only need a free job-matching layer, the free tier is worth looking at.
Vendor: jobright.ai
How much does RoboApply cost?
RoboApply lists three monthly plans on its pricing page: Basic at $47/month, Standard at $129/month and Premium at $389/month, with 129, 487 or 1,617 AI-tailored applications a month, and yearly plans. Its sign-up form starts a 3-day trial for $9. Its auto-apply runs through the RoboApply Chrome extension. Prices from roboapply.jobs, checked October 2026.

How to choose
- You want the lowest-risk way to try a full toolkit: JobHacki’s 7-day trial or Jobright’s free tier cost the least to evaluate.
- You mainly want applications submitted for you: Sonara is built around auto-apply; JobHacki links you to the employer’s own listing instead.
- You want to see the price before you sign up: JobHacki, Sonara, Jobright and RoboApply publish pricing; AIApply shows it after onboarding.
- You care about the renewal: JobHacki renews at $7/mo after the 7-day trial; Sonara renews every 4 weeks at $23.95 after its trial; both can be cancelled by you.
