This Rezi review covers what you get from Rezi, an ATS-focused resume builder with a content score, an AI writer and keyword targeting, and whether it is worth paying for. We used the live app on a free account and read the pricing page on 18 October 2026.
Rezi is built around one idea: a resume that software can read and score. That makes it good at catching weak wording and missing numbers, and plain on design. Below is how each part works, what the free plan really gives you, and who it suits.
In this guide
Key takeaways
- Rezi is built around applicant tracking systems. It favours plain layouts over design, by intent.
- What it offers is feedback: a score for the whole resume and a checklist under every job. The score is Rezi's own measure, not an employer's.
- On the free plan, five of the eight per-job checks are locked, and you get 1 resume and 3 PDF downloads.
- The AI writer drafts bullets quickly. When you ask for key numbers it writes a figure into the line for you to check, since it cannot know yours.
- Pro is $29 a month and Lifetime is $149 once. Rezi's FAQ promises a 30-day money-back guarantee on both.
- Rezi suits people who want a scored, plain resume. It is a weaker fit if you want a designed layout.
What Rezi is, and what it is not
Rezi is a browser-based resume builder with an AI writer. You build a resume section by section, and Rezi checks it as you go and gives the whole resume a score.
Its pricing page says its templates are designed to get through ATS software, and that the Rezi Score helps you pass applicant tracking systems. Those are Rezi's own claims. No builder can promise that an employer's system will rank you, and Rezi does not publish test results for its layouts.
How Rezi works
You work through the resume one section at a time: contact, summary, experience, education, skills. Under each job there is a box for your bullets, with an AI writer at the bottom right and a checklist down the left.
In our test, Rezi saved the resume on its own and re-scored it a moment after we stopped typing. We typed a short phrase at the end of one bullet, waited four seconds, and saw the browser send the bullet for a check, save the resume and re-run the full score, with no button pressed. There is no save step for the score.
Rezi's main features
This is what we looked at in the app, and what comes from Rezi's own description.
The checklist under each job
Each job has a short list of checks: weak bullet points, personal pronouns, buzzwords, passive voice, filler words, wordy content, missing dates and quantified bullets, followed by a count of the best practices you already meet. A red cross means it fails, an amber mark means it could be better, a green tick means it passes.
Each item opens to one sentence that names the words it means. For weak verbs it listed the exact words to replace, and while it was open the editor underlined only those words. This is specific, since it points at your text instead of giving general advice. It only works for the checks the free plan leaves open.
The AI writer for bullets
Under the bullets box, the AI writer suggests one new bullet from the job you entered. A menu next to it offers a version with key numbers. You see the suggestion in a preview line and press Apply to keep it.
Look at the figure. Our test bullet said only that we tested a payments module before each release. The suggestion added "reducing critical bugs by 25%". Rezi cannot know that number, so the figure is a placeholder you must replace with a true one before you apply it. If you skim and click, you send a made-up claim to an employer.
The summary writer
The summary section has a small panel that asks for a target position, which can come from your resume, and a skills highlight, then writes a summary. A note in the panel says that if the result is strange you can regenerate it. As with any AI draft, read it and change anything you cannot stand behind.
Rezi Score and keyword targeting
The Rezi Score is a number out of 100 for the whole resume, shown as a dial on the finish-up screen. On the resume we tested it read 83 and the label said "Needs improvement". Rezi's pricing page says the score uses 23 metrics, and the score screen splits it into content, format, optimization, best practices and application readiness.
Keyword targeting takes a job title, a job description and a company, then lists the keywords your resume is missing and suggests where to use them. Use it as a checklist for one job, not as a promise of a result. The free plan includes limited access to the score and keyword targeting.
The rest of the toolbox
Rezi's app also lists a skills explorer, a one-click page fit, a cover letter writer, an AI interview practice, a chat assistant called the AI Resume Agent, a "review my resume" check for an uploaded file, and a beta version history. We did not test each of these in depth. Rezi's own page lists the free plan as including 1 AI interview.
Templates and downloads
Rezi's pricing page names five formats: Standard, Compact, Alternative, Bold and Modern. It describes Compact as designed to get through ATS software and Alternative as made to be printed and read on paper. The free plan includes the Standard format, and Pro unlocks all templates.
What we saw in the app were plain layouts with little decoration. That suits a parser, and leaves less room to stand out to a person scanning a stack of resumes. If you want a layout with more character, this is where Rezi may give you the least choice. The free plan allows 3 PDF downloads in total.
Rezi pricing and refunds
Rezi has four plans. Prices are in US dollars as shown on its pricing page on 18 October 2026.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 resume, 1 AI interview, 3 PDF downloads, the Standard template, the AI writer, limited Rezi Score and keyword targeting |
| Pro | $29 a month | Unlimited resumes, AI interviews and PDF downloads, all templates, full score and keyword targeting, one free monthly review by a person |
| Lifetime | $149 once | Pro's features for one payment, without the free monthly human review (sold separately) |
| Enterprise | $99 a month per 200 users | Everything in Pro plus team roles, single sign-on, webhooks and resume review management; a demo is required |
Refunds: Rezi's FAQ says Pro and Lifetime come with a 100% money-back guarantee if you ask within 30 days of purchase. Check the billing screen for renewal and cancellation terms before you subscribe.
Rezi's ATS claims, read carefully
Rezi's pricing page says "62% of Rezi users land an interview" and quotes a "62.18% review rate for applicants". The page does not say how either number was measured, so we treat them as marketing, not as a result you should expect.
A good score from any builder tells you the resume follows common rules. It does not tell you that a particular employer's software will pass it. That is true of Rezi and of every other tool, ours included.
Pros and cons of Rezi

Cons
- Five of the eight per-job checks are locked on the free plan
- Plain templates with little design choice
- The AI can write a figure you did not give it, so every number needs your check
- The score and checks are Rezi's own measure, not an employer's
- Marketing figures on the pricing page are unsourced
Who Rezi is best for
A good fit if
- You want a plain, scored resume and a clear list of what to fix
- You are happy to review every AI suggestion line by line

A weaker fit if
- You want a designed or creative layout
- You want every check unlocked without paying
- You do not want to pay to see the full feedback
Rezi review: final verdict
Rezi is a plain, rules-based resume builder. It tells you, line by line, where your resume breaks its own rules, and it re-scores as you type. If you want a structured resume and that kind of feedback, it is worth a try on the free plan.
Read its claims with care. The ATS statements and the numbers on its pricing page come from Rezi and are not sourced, and the free plan locks most of the per-job checks. If you want more design choice, the comparison below shows where we differ.
