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

Common questions

  • What is Hey Vitae?

    Hey Vitae is a job-search tool that leads with the interview. Pick the date and paste the posting, and you rehearse the interview you actually have, with an interviewer who has read the posting and feedback that quotes your own words and names the one thing to fix. Around it: your resume read the way a recruiter reads it, roles that fit, and every application and follow-up in one place. Tracking is free.

  • 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 scoring and tailoring are part of it, but Hey Vitae leads with the interview: prep and practice for the job you actually have, with every answer scored. Tracking, follow-ups, email, Spotlight pages and insights sit around it, which is how the prep knows the posting, your resume and how the last round went.

  • 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, includes practice drills and the likely questions for every interview, and lets you try the AI, with no card needed to start. One interview coming up? Its full prep is $12, no subscription. When your search picks up, Pro makes everything unlimited — match scores, cover-letter feedback and resume coaching on every job, a prep kit for every interview, Deep Prep research before each one, and 5 practice interviews a month. It's $29/month, or a $129 Job Search Pass for 6 months of access with no auto-renewal.

  • How does Hey Vitae's price compare?

    Competitively — and our numbers are the ones we'll stand behind. Hey Vitae is free to start with unlimited job tracking. Pro is $29/month, or about $22/month on the 6-month Job Search Pass, and it covers both halves of a search: unlimited Apply IQ, resumes, cover letters and interview prep, plus Deep Prep research and 5 practice interviews a month. The pass is a one-time purchase that doesn't auto-renew, which is worth checking against any tool quoting you a weekly rate.
