Huntr is strong for organizing applications, saving jobs, tailoring resumes, generating cover letters, and managing job-search activities. If your main need is a clean tracker with AI document support, it may be enough.

Hey Vitae is positioned as tracking plus the rest of the search: stage-aware prep, practice interviews, threaded recruiter email, follow-up reminders, networking and referrals in the same pipeline, and Spotlight pages for sharing a stronger candidate presence than a PDF resume.

If you mostly need a tracker and document tailoring hub, Huntr is a credible choice. If you want tracking, prep, follow-through, recruiter email, and visibility into what’s actually working in one workspace, Hey Vitae is built for that.

When Huntr 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 think best on a visual, kanban-style board and want that as the center of your pipeline.
  • Your main needs are clean application tracking plus AI resume tailoring, with one-click autofill on application forms.
  • You don’t need live voice practice, recruiter email threading, or Spotlight pages.

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 Huntr pipeline 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.

  • 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.

The bottom line

Get the interview.
Get through it.
