Standout.
Jobscan alternative · honest comparison

The Jobscan alternative that costs $1, once

Jobscan built its name on ATS resume scanning — paste your resume and a job description, get a match rate. Its LinkedIn optimization lives inside the same subscription: about $49.95 month-to-month, or roughly $29.99/month billed quarterly (pricing as of early 2026 — check their site for current rates). There is a free tier, but it stops right where the scans get useful.

Standout does one thing: your LinkedIn profile’s visibility in recruiter search. Paste your LinkedIn URL and get a free 0–100 visibility score in under a minute. If you want the fixes, the full audit — a keyword-optimized headline, a rewritten About section, and your top-3 experience bullets, all paste-ready — costs $1. One-time. No subscription, no account, nothing to cancel.

Where Jobscan is genuinely the better choice

You live in your resume

If you're tailoring a resume to every job description and tracking ATS match rates across dozens of applications, Jobscan's subscription can honestly pay for itself. Standout doesn't scan resumes or score ATS match — by design.

You want an all-in-one suite

Jobscan bundles a resume builder, job tracker and cover-letter tools in one dashboard. Standout does exactly one thing — your LinkedIn profile's search visibility — and does it for $1.

You apply at serious volume

Submitting 10+ tailored applications a week? A monthly tool with unlimited scans beats any one-time audit. But if the bottleneck is recruiters not finding you, that's the part Standout fixes.

What a $1 rewrite actually looks like

A real before-and-after from the audit — the same treatment your headline gets. The rewrite names the exact terms a recruiter types, then adds a proof point that earns the click.
