ApplySarthi vs AIApply
One product tries to cover the whole job search. We split it in two on purpose. Here is the honest case for each shape.
Disclosure: we build ApplySarthi. Competitor information below was read from each product’s own public pages on 18 September 2026, and is linked so you can check it. Where a price is not published publicly we say so rather than repeat a figure we could not verify. This page is not a hands-on benchmark of the other products.
What we could verify
AIApply presents an integrated suite: an AI resume builder, a cover letter generator, a resume scanner that checks against ATS criteria, an auto-apply feature that finds and applies to high-match jobs, and mock interview tools. Its site cites a job board aggregating 20M+ jobs and reports more than two million users. Auto-apply is sold as credit packs rather than unlimited use. (Official site, read 18 September 2026.)
AIApply does not publish plan prices on the page we read, so none are quoted here.
ApplySarthi covers applying only: collection from 21 sources and 754 career boards, CV matching, per-job CV tailoring, cover letters and form filling in your own Chrome. Interviews are a separate product, Interview Sarthi, with its own passes.
Where they genuinely differ
| ApplySarthi | AIApply | |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Applying only; interviews are a separate product | One suite across the whole search |
| Price | Always free | Not published; auto-apply sold as credit packs |
| Presses submit | No, unless you switch Autopilot on | Yes, spending credits |
| Indian job boards | Naukri, Foundit, Shine, Internshala, Wellfound, LinkedIn, Indeed | Not stated |
| Interview help | Interview Sarthi — live help during the real call | Mock interview tools in the suite |
| Whose AI quota | Your own free Google Gemini key | The vendor’s, plus credits |
What should decide it
The honest case for a suite is that one subscription and one login covers everything, and you are not reconciling two products. If that is what you want, AIApply is a reasonable place to look, and its resume scanner and mock interview tools are real features.
The case for splitting, which is the choice we made, is that applying and interviewing are different problems. Applying is a data problem: find what is open, judge fit, fill forms accurately. Interviewing is a live problem: hearing a question and having something grounded to say in the next few seconds. A mock interview generator and live help on a real call are not the same product, and we would rather build each one properly.
On credits: a credit model prices each application, which quietly discourages applying to a role you are unsure about. That is worth noticing, because the roles people hesitate over are often the ones worth applying for.
On coverage, the same question as everywhere on this site: we could not confirm Indian board coverage from AIApply’s public pages.
How to test both properly
- Pick five real postings you would genuinely accept, and use the same five in both tools.
- Start from the same CV file in each.
- Read every tailored CV against your original, line by line. Any figure, date, employer or qualification that was not in your document is a reason to stop.
- Stop before submitting in whichever tool lets you, and compare the two filled forms field by field.
- Count fields left blank or filled wrongly, not how impressive the demonstration felt.
What we could not verify
We have not verified AIApply’s prices, credit pack sizes, Indian job board coverage, resume scanner accuracy, or the user and outcome statistics quoted on its own marketing pages. We have not tested its auto-apply. Outcome percentages published by any vendor about its own users, ours included, should be read as marketing until the method behind them is published.
A gap here is a gap in public information, not a claim that a feature is missing. Check the company’s current pages before paying for anything.
When the calls start. Use the job description and your CV for an AI mock interview with Prep Sarthi. Practise weak answers before the real round. For assistance during a call where it is permitted, Live Sarthi shows CV-based answer suggestions. The apps use your Gemini key; Google’s usage limits apply.
Questions people ask
Is an all-in-one job search tool better than separate ones?
It depends on whether the parts are equally good. A suite gives you one login and one bill. The risk is that applying and interviewing are genuinely different problems — one is about finding and filling accurately, the other about having something grounded to say within seconds on a live call — and a single product rarely does both well. Try the part you need most before committing to the bundle.
How much does AIApply cost?
The pages we read do not publish plan prices, so we are not quoting any. Its auto-apply feature is described as sold in credit packs rather than as unlimited use, which means each application has a price attached. Check inside the product for current figures.
Does ApplySarthi help with interviews too?
Not directly — that is Interview Sarthi, a separate product from the same team, which gives resume-grounded help during the actual interview in English, Hindi or Hinglish. Both run on the same free Google Gemini key, so setting one up covers the other. ApplySarthi flags upcoming interviews in its tracker and hands you across.
