In more detail
What Jude does that a keyword scanner doesn't
Jobscan is built around one job: scoring how well your CV matches a job description's keywords. That check is useful, and Jude does it too. But a score on its own doesn't get you an interview — you still have to fix the CV, write the cover letter, and stay on top of every application.
Jude covers the whole search in one place: the free scan, CV tailoring from your real experience, cover letters, an application tracker, and interview prep — at a fraction of Jobscan's price.
When Jobscan is the better choice
If all you want is raw keyword-match scoring against US job postings and price isn't a concern, Jobscan is a focused, mature tool for exactly that.
If you want the score and the fix — plus the rest of your job search handled in one European, GDPR-native tool — that's where Jude fits.
Simple workflow
From a score to a stronger application
1. Scan your CV against the job
Get an ATS readability and fit read on the version you'd actually send.
2. Fix it in the same place
Act on the specific issues — Jude tailors the CV from your real experience, no rewriting from scratch.
3. Apply and track
Write the cover letter, log the application, and prep for the interview without switching tools.
