Frequently asked

Is LumiCV's ATS scoring as accurate as Jobscan's?

Both analyse hard-skill, soft-skill, and title overlap between your resume and the JD. Jobscan publishes a 30+ parameter Match Rate and is the depth leader. LumiCV scores in the editor in real time and tracks the delta as you accept Career Backlog suggestions. For most active job seekers, either is accurate enough — the difference is what you can do with the score.

Can I get just the ATS scanner without paying $49/month?

On LumiCV, yes — ATS scoring is included on Free, with unlimited use inside the editor. No $49.95/month required.

Is Jobscan worth it in 2026?

Only if you specifically need their LinkedIn Optimization or 30+ parameter scoring and price isn't a factor. For most active job seekers, LumiCV replaces Jobscan + a builder + a tracker at under half the price, and adds mock interviews and a Career Backlog Jobscan doesn't ship.
