Simplify is strongest at autofill — its extension fills application forms and can use AI to answer unique questions from your profile. If your bottleneck is the friction of filling out the same fields over and over, Simplify is a sensible tool for that workflow.
Hey Vitae is built for the opposite half of the same problem: deliberate search management. High-volume autofill makes it easier to send more applications, but more applications alone don’t necessarily create better outcomes. The leverage often lives in fit, prep, follow-through, and knowing what’s actually working on the roles you really want.
These tools can coexist. Use Simplify to apply faster, and use Hey Vitae as the system you manage the rest of the search in — interviews, follow-ups, prep, documents, and what’s converting.
When Simplify 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.
- Your biggest bottleneck is filling out the same application fields over and over — Simplify’s autofill across 100+ ATSs is excellent at exactly that.
- You want a genuinely free, automatic tracker that captures every role you apply to.
- You’re early in a broad search where applying volume matters more than prep and follow-through right now.
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

Start freeCommon questions
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.
Can I use Simplify and Hey Vitae together?
Yes. A common pattern is to use Simplify for fast applying and forward the resulting confirmations to your @heyvitae.co alias so Hey Vitae captures the role. From there you get prep kits, follow-up reminders, and visibility into what’s converting — without changing how you apply.
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 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 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.
