Question 1

Is Resume Sketch free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a Free plan that stays free: every template, unlimited PDF downloads, the ATS analyzer, 2 resumes, 1 live share link and 250 AI credits a month. Pro ($10 a month) and Max ($30 a month) add more AI credits, more AI models, agent mode, Gmail sending and higher limits. The Free plan needs no card.

Question 2

How is Resume Sketch funded?

Accepted Answer

By the optional Pro and Max plans, plus tips from people it helped. We don't sell data or show ads.

Question 3

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

Not to check a resume: the ATS analyzer works without signing up. To build, save and share resumes you need a free account, which takes a minute with email, GitHub or LinkedIn.

Question 4

What are AI credits?

Accepted Answer

Every AI action uses credits based on how much the model reads and writes. Your plan's credits refill each month on the day your plan started and don't roll over. If you add your own API key, requests with it don't use credits.

Question 5

How does the AI help me write my resume?

Accepted Answer

Ask AI rewrites bullets and summaries, suggests stronger wording and tailors content to the job you're applying for. On Pro and Max, agent mode edits the whole resume for you and highlights every change so you can accept or reject it. The AI also drafts cover letters and cold emails from your resume.

Question 6

Can I tailor my resume to a specific job description?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the editor, add a Target job by pasting the posting. AI suggestions then use it, and the Score tab shows which of the job's keywords your resume already covers and which are missing.

Question 7

Which AI models does Resume Sketch use?

Accepted Answer

Free uses Sarvam AI. Pro adds models from OpenAI and DeepSeek, and Max adds xAI's Grok. You can also connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek or Groq key on any plan.

Question 8

Can I use Resume Sketch from ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add https://app.resumesketch.com/api/mcp as a custom connector (OAuth) in ChatGPT or Claude, sign in and allow access. Then create or edit resumes by chatting: changes appear in the app right away and don't use your Resume Sketch credits.

Question 9

What is an ATS, and are Resume Sketch templates ATS-friendly?

Accepted Answer

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software employers use to collect, parse and search resumes. Resume Sketch templates use real text, standard section headings and a clean structure so they parse well. You can check any resume, from any builder, with the free ATS analyzer.

Question 10

Can I change the design of my resume?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose from 55 templates, including photo layouts and designs for specific fields, and switch at any time without retyping. You can drag sections and skills into any order, and add, rename or hide sections such as certifications or languages.

Question 11

Can I share my resume as a link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Create a share link for any resume; viewers see it in the browser and can download the PDF, and you see how many times it was viewed. Turn a link off whenever you like.

Question 12

Is my data safe with Resume Sketch?

Accepted Answer

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never sell it. AI providers process the content needed for the AI features you use. Authorised Resume Sketch staff can access accounts when needed for support, security or legal reasons, and every such action is logged.

Question 13

Do you share my resume with recruiters?

Accepted Answer

Only if you choose to. Recruiter sharing is an optional, separate setting, and even then only your starred resume is shared. You can turn it off at any time in Profile, Privacy & sharing.

Question 14

Can I delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Delete individual resumes at any time, or your whole account in Profile, Account. Deleting your account removes your resumes, profile and connections right away; copies in encrypted backups are overwritten within 30 days.
