    Plushly Pricing Explained: Free Tier vs Pro in 2026

    4 min read

    The short version: Plushly is free to try and $19/month for unlimited use. No hidden apply credits, no separate resume add-on, no $99 annual trap. This post breaks down what each tier includes and how it compares to the rest of the market.

    Free tier

    Free gets you:

    • Full access to the matches deck so you can see what roles Plushly would apply to
    • Three real auto-applies — resume tailored, cover letter written, application submitted
    • The job tracker dashboard with status on every application
    • LinkedIn Easy Apply support

    The free tier exists so you can validate the fit before you pay. If the matches don't look right, you haven't spent anything. If the three applies come back with interviews or confirmations you know the product works for your search.

    Pro — $19 per month

    Pro starts with a 3-day free trial (card required but easy to cancel) and then bills monthly at $19. You get:

    • Unlimited auto-applies
    • Unlimited resume variants
    • Unlimited AI cover letters
    • Priority scraping — your matches surface faster when new roles post
    • Full LinkedIn Easy Apply, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and career-page submission
    • Live application tracker with bounce/error receipts

    There are no apply credits to buy. There are no resume-builder upsells. $19 is the entire price.

    How this compares

    For rough context on the rest of the market (prices vary, check their sites for current):

    • LazyApply — roughly $29-99/month. 2.1-star TrustPilot rating.
    • JobCopilot — roughly $32/month. No LinkedIn support.
    • AIApply — $49/month base + $66/month auto-apply add-on = $115 real cost.
    • Sonara — roughly $24/month. No free tier, no resume generation.
    • LoopCV — free tier, ~$30/month paid.
    • Massive — $59/month. 2.1-star rating.

    Plushly at $19/month lands below every tool that does comparable work, and the free tier is genuinely usable rather than a trial-wall.

    Is there a student discount

    Because Plushly is already built for students, the base price is the student price. We don't layer on a separate student plan because $19 is already the cheapest serious option and discounting further would break unit economics.

    Cancellation and refunds

    You can cancel Pro any time from the billing page and you'll keep access until the end of your billing cycle. If you cancel during the 3-day trial you won't be charged.

    What you get for $19

    A rough way to think about it: a typical manual application takes 15-30 minutes once you include finding the role, tailoring the resume, writing a cover letter, and filling out the form. Plushly does that for you in seconds, across hundreds of roles per month. The math usually works out to a few cents per application and a lot of reclaimed time.
