Choose Jobscan if / choose Pursyn if

Choose Jobscan if you want a scan score, a keyword-gap report, or an established ATS-check workflow. Jobscan's whole funnel is the free scan, and the Premium reports are useful for diagnosing why a resume is not matching.

Choose Pursyn if you already know the gap and want the rewrite done safely: an edit brief from the posting, line-level suggestions, and a source line for every AI claim. Pursyn skips the score and fixes the document.

FAQ

Which is better, Jobscan or Pursyn? Jobscan is better at reporting the gap; Pursyn is better at closing it without inventing facts. Many job seekers use both at different stages.

Does Jobscan verify AI claims? No. Jobscan reports keyword overlap and offers AI Optimize; it does not verify that a generated claim matches your source document.

Does Pursyn have a match-rate report? No. Pursyn extracts the posting into an edit brief and rewrites lines with source verification; it does not produce a scan score.

Can I import a PDF into Pursyn? Not yet. Pursyn requires material entry during Beta, while Jobscan imports PDF and DOCX.
