Teal is especially strong around resume creation, job matching, and job tracking. Teal does support interview practice in its help docs, but its public site still leads most heavily with resume and tracker positioning.
Hey Vitae is positioned around the whole search instead of primarily around the resume. The differentiation lives in the connected layers around each role — recruiter email threading via a personal alias, networking and referrals in the same pipeline as jobs, follow-up reminders, stage-aware prep, and Spotlight pages for when you want a stronger candidate presence than a PDF.
If your search is mostly tracking and resume tailoring, Teal is a credible option. If you want one workspace for the roles, people, documents, prep, email, follow-through, and what is actually working, Hey Vitae is built for that.
When Teal 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 search centers on resume tailoring and you want a mature, polished résumé builder with deep ATS keyword tooling.
- You want a large, well-established product with a big template library and years of refinement.
- You don’t need recruiter email threading, Spotlight pages, or networking living in the same pipeline as your jobs.
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

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.
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.
Can I bring my Teal data into Hey Vitae?
You can capture the same jobs again with the extension, paste a job URL or description, or forward recruiter emails to your @heyvitae.co alias to rebuild your tracker. Resumes you’ve already drafted travel as PDF or pasted text — Hey Vitae versions them 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 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.
