Facts verified 2026-08-04 via Kickresume's published pricing page, read on August 4, 2026 (a 20% discount was active that day).
What Kickresume does well
- Some of the most visually distinctive templates in the category
- Free student access with ISIC/ITIC/UNiDAYS verification — genuinely generous
- 14-day money-back guarantee
Pricing, side by side
- Free plan
- Basic building is free as long as you avoid paid customization options
- Monthly
- €24/month list price (€19.20 with the discount active at verification)
- Yearly
- €76.80/year at the discounted rate (€6.40/month equivalent)
- Free plan
- Resume builder, all templates, PDF export included — export is never paywalled
- Pro Pass
- $14 for 30 days or $29 for 90 days — one-time payment, expires on its own
- Renewal
- The builder and Pass never renew — nothing to cancel. Our only subscription is the separate, clearly-labeled CareerAgent
- ATS checker
- Free, no account required
Mechanics worth knowing before you pay
- All paid plans are recurring subscriptions billed in EUR
- Our July 2026 review sweep found one-star reviews clustering on refunds and auto-renewal, including users who cancelled inside the advertised refund window
- Highly designed templates can trade ATS parseability for looks — test decorative layouts before submitting
How GenerateCV is built differently
We price a job search the way it actually happens: in bursts. The builder, every template, and PDF export are free — your finished document is never held back. When you want the AI to do heavy lifting, a Pro Pass is a one-time payment that expires on its own; there is nothing to remember to cancel. The one subscription we sell is the separate CareerAgent, because it is the one product that keeps working for you week after week.
