Careerflow is a broad job-search suite — tracking, resume scoring, cover letters, a Job Fit Analyzer, an AI practice interview tool, LinkedIn profile optimization, networking tracking, and autofill. If you want a wide set of standalone job-search utilities under one roof, it covers a lot of ground.
Hey Vitae is narrower on purpose and built differently underneath. The product is one connected workspace rather than a suite of tools that happen to live in the same login: prep flows from the actual job description and the stage you’re at, recruiter email threads land in the right job via your @heyvitae.co alias, networking conversations and referrals live in the same pipeline as jobs (instead of a separate tracker), and Spotlight pages give recruiters a candidate to look at instead of a PDF to skim. The practice interview is tied to the real role and the real resume, not a generic simulator.
We also draw a different line on AI. Careerflow ships autofill so you can apply to many roles faster; we deliberately don’t — see our principles page for why. AI in Hey Vitae helps you decide, practice, see your own search, and stay organized. It doesn’t apply for you, and it doesn’t generate fake-you resumes per role.
If you want the wider suite of standalone tools, Careerflow is a reasonable pick. If you want a connected workspace built around the search you’re actually running — with stage-aware prep, threaded recruiter email, networking in the same pipeline as jobs, and a deliberate stance on what AI should do — Hey Vitae is built for that.
When Careerflow is the better choice
We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong subscription. Here's when the other option is the better call.
- You want a broad suite of standalone job-search utilities — resume scoring, cover letters, a job-fit analyzer, and autofill — under one login.
- LinkedIn profile optimization is a priority for you; it’s one of Careerflow’s strongest, most established features.
- You’d rather have many separate tools than one connected workspace.
Built for candidate momentum
Less setup, clearer next steps.
Hey Vitae is intentionally organized around the parts of the search candidates actually have to manage: roles, stages, prep, documents, follow-ups, and outcomes. Instead of asking you to build your own system or endlessly rewrite materials, it gives each job a clearer next step.
- See which jobs need attention
- Prep from the role you’re actually interviewing for
- Keep notes, docs, reminders, and outcomes connected
See it for yourself.
Free to start. Add your active roles in a few minutes and see how it feels with the whole search in one place.

What is Hey Vitae?
Hey Vitae is a job-search workspace for candidates. It helps you track every role you're interested in, prep for interviews around the actual job, manage follow-ups, organize resumes and notes, and see what's actually moving — without turning your search into spreadsheet chaos.
Can I move my Careerflow tracker into Hey Vitae?
Yes — re-save the same jobs via the extension, paste job URLs or descriptions, or forward recruiter emails to your @heyvitae.co alias to rebuild the pipeline. Your resumes and cover letters travel as PDF or pasted text and get versioned per role from there.
Can I track interviews and follow-ups?
Yes. Interviews are first-class — you can prep with role-specific kits, log notes during and after, and schedule follow-up reminders. Threads from forwarded recruiter emails link to the right job automatically.
Is Hey Vitae just a resume tool?
No. Resume and cover letter versioning is part of the workspace, but the main product is the full job-search system: tracking, interview prep, follow-ups, documents, email, Spotlight pages, and insights. Companies have ATS. Recruiters have CRM. Hey Vitae is the candidate-side system.
Does Hey Vitae apply to jobs for me?
No — and that's intentional. Auto-applying tends to produce noise, not interviews. Hey Vitae helps you apply more deliberately and follow through, so the roles you do pursue actually move forward.
Is Hey Vitae free?
Yes — Free tracks unlimited jobs, keeps 5 saved documents, and lets you try the AI, with no card needed to start. When your search picks up, Plus makes Apply IQ unlimited (match scores, cover-letter feedback, and résumé coaching on every job) and adds full interview prep on 10 jobs a month plus 3 practice interviews — $120 for a 6-month pass (no auto-renewal) or $24/month. For peak prep, Max ($39/month) makes interview prep unlimited (fair use), adds Deep Prep research, and gives 10 practice interviews a month. Plus and Max both include Functioning Human access.
How does Hey Vitae's price compare?
Competitively. Hey Vitae is free to start (unlimited job tracking), and Plus is $24/month — or $20/month on the 6-month pass — for unlimited Apply IQ, interview prep, and follow-ups. That's at or below what most full-feature job-search tools charge (commonly around $24–40/month). For heavy interviewing, Max is $39/month with Deep Prep research and 10 practice interviews a month.
