Both score your resume against ATS rules and a job description. Jobscan is the older, US-focused tool used widely in North America. Rezup is the newer, India-focused alternative with INR pay-as-you-go pricing, Naukri-aware keyword sets, and an unlimited free ATS check.
In one line
Use Jobscan if you are applying primarily to US companies and a flat ~₹4,000/month subscription is fine. Use Rezup if you are applying to Indian or India-headquartered companies, want unlimited free ATS checks, and prefer paying per-action in INR with no subscription.

Rezup
Free: Free forever — ATS check, full builder, all 5 ATS-safe templates, AI resume import, watermarked PDF, 1 resume slot
Paid: Pay-as-you-go Sparks — 1 Spark = ₹1, minimum top-up ₹10, never expire. No subscription, no auto-debit. Portfolio unlock ₹99 lifetime (one-time).
Jobscan
Free: 5 scans/month, limited features
Paid: $49.95/month or $89.99/3 months (~₹4,160/month)
Jobscan's premium plan costs about ₹4,160 per month at current exchange rates — a flat subscription whether you scan one resume or fifty. Rezup has no subscription at all: the ATS score is free, AI bullet rewrites are ₹1 each, and full JD tailoring is ₹5. Most Indian job seekers spend under ₹100 across an entire focused job search. For a fresher earning ₹6 to 10 LPA at a first IT services job, paying ₹4,000 a month for a resume tool is unreasonable; paying ₹1 per improvement is not.

Naukri, LinkedIn India, and internal HRMS systems used by Indian employers weight skills tags and titles differently from US ATS systems like Workday or Taleo. Rezup's keyword bank is built from real Indian job postings (Naukri, LinkedIn India, Hirect) so recommendations like 'add SAP', 'add Tally', or 'add the specific JD title' map to what Indian recruiters actually search.
Most Indian job seekers apply to many roles each week, especially during placement season or active job hunts. Jobscan's free tier of 5 scans per month runs out in two days of serious applying. Rezup's free tier gives unlimited ATS scoring forever — you only pay for AI rewrites, JD tailoring, and watermark-free exports, and only when you choose to run them.

Rezup's templates, sample bullets, and AI prompts are built for the patterns Indian recruiters actually look for: campus projects framed as outcomes, internships listed clearly, certifications from Coursera or NPTEL recognized, and formatting that survives the Naukri parser. Jobscan's templates and examples lean on Western mid-career patterns that do not translate cleanly for an Indian fresher or 0–3 years professional.

Rezup's ATS score is fully free, with no credit card and no signup required. You only pay if you want AI bullet rewrites, JD tailoring, watermark-free PDF exports, or a public portfolio page. The Jobscan free tier limits you to 5 scans per month before you need to upgrade.
Yes. The ATS scoring engine is general-purpose and recognises common formats and keywords used by US, EU, and Indian employers. Where Rezup is meaningfully different is the depth of India-specific data — Naukri keyword recognition, INR salary ranges, fresher patterns. If you are applying primarily inside India, Rezup is purpose-built for that. If you are applying across multiple geographies, Rezup still works.
Yes, and resume import is free — Rezup absorbs the AI parsing cost. Upload your existing PDF or DOCX resume and Rezup parses it into the editor. You can then run unlimited ATS checks, get AI bullet rewrites at ₹1 each, and export back to PDF without redoing the formatting.
Both use language models to suggest stronger bullet phrasing. Rezup uses Anthropic's Claude with prompts tuned for Indian job patterns. Jobscan's Power Edit is on its premium plan only. Rezup's AI is pay-as-you-go: each bullet rewrite costs 1 Spark (₹1), with a minimum top-up of ₹10. There is no subscription, no monthly cap, and Sparks never expire.
It is on the roadmap. For now Rezup focuses on the resume and ATS layer. If LinkedIn optimization is your primary need today, Jobscan covers that and Rezup does not yet.
Yes. Resumes are stored in a Supabase Postgres database with row-level security so only your account can read your resumes. The anonymous ATS check at /ats-checker does not require signup and discards the file after scoring unless you choose to save it.
If your primary market is India, Rezup wins on price model, India-specific recommendations, free-tier generosity, and fresher-friendly templates. If you are applying mostly to US companies or you need a LinkedIn optimizer in the same product, Jobscan is still the more mature option. Most Indian readers will find Rezup is the better fit, especially because there is nothing to subscribe to — you only pay when you choose to run an AI action.
