Key differences
1. Auto Apply vs autofill. AIApply's Auto Apply finds matching jobs, tailors your resume and cover letter to each one, and submits applications on your behalf. Teal's Chrome extension speeds up forms you've already navigated to — you still have to find each job, open the page, trigger the extension, and click submit.
2. Live interview support. Interview Buddy runs in the background during live video interviews, suggesting personalized answers in real time only visible to you. Teal's interview tools are practice-only — useful before the interview, not during it.
3. Job tracking depth. Teal's clear strength. Its pipeline CRM with Kanban stages, contacts, notes, and follow-up templates is one of the most polished options available. AIApply has tracking built in but doesn't position itself as a CRM-first tool.
4. Chrome extension. Teal's extension (3,100+ ratings, 4.9/5 stars, 200,000 users) is exceptional for capturing and organizing jobs from 40+ job boards. If your bottleneck is collecting roles from across the web, Teal handles that well.
