Zety is a long-established US-focused resume builder with strong template variety. Indian users frequently complain about its pricing model — a low first-charge that auto-renews at a much higher rate. Rezup has no subscription at all, charges in INR, and includes ATS scoring free with no auto-renew anywhere.

Zety
Free: Build resume free, but watermarked and PDF download paywalled
Paid: $2.70 trial for 14 days, then auto-renews at $23.95/4-week (~₹2,000/month)
The most common complaint about Zety in Indian forums and Reddit is the trial conversion. The headline price is a small one-time charge for two weeks, then it auto-renews to roughly ₹2,000 per month per four-week cycle. Many candidates report being charged for months before noticing. Rezup has no subscription — no trial, no auto-renew, nothing recurring. AI is pay-as-you-go (1 Spark = ₹1, minimum top-up ₹10), Sparks never expire, and a watermarked PDF download is free.

Zety's headline price is a 14-day trial number. After 14 days it auto-renews at the full subscription rate (~₹2,000/month). Rezup has no subscription at all — the ATS score, builder, all 5 templates, and AI import are free forever, and AI rewrites are pay-as-you-go from ₹1 per action. For a focused job search the actual cost-of-ownership on Rezup is usually under ₹100 total; on Zety it is at least ₹2,000 per month after the trial converts.
No. Rezup has no subscription, no auto-debit, and no trial that converts. You only pay when you choose to run a paid AI action — and the price for each action is shown upfront. Sparks never expire, so any unused balance stays in your account until you next use it. Refunds on purchases are handled by support@rezup.in.
It depends on the template you pick. Zety's simpler single-column templates parse fine. Some of its more designed templates use sidebars or columns that struggle. Rezup's templates are uniformly built ATS-first.
Yes, and import is free. Export your Zety resume as PDF, then upload it to Rezup. Rezup parses the PDF into the editor and you can run an unlimited number of free ATS checks or apply AI rewrites from there.
Rezup wins on pricing transparency, free-tier value, and India focus — and there is nothing to subscribe to or cancel. Zety wins on template variety. For Indian job seekers who want predictable, no-surprise pricing and the ATS-scoring loop free, Rezup is the safer pick.
