The Search Only plan is a low-cost alternative to a full Auto Apply subscription, designed for users who want to pause their active job search but keep their account active and continue receiving job matches.
What's included
For $12 per month, you get:
Ongoing job suggestions matched to your criteria
Full access to your dashboard, match ratings, and queue
Your profile, resume, Answer Library, and application history remain intact
What's not included
The Search Only plan does not include new application credits. If your credit balance is 0, the tool won't submit applications on your behalf.
Using leftover credits
If you have unused credits from a previous plan, you can still apply through Review mode: the tool suggests jobs, and you approve each one manually. Once your credits run out, applications stop, but job suggestions keep coming.
Access to the AIApply inbox
Whether the AIApply inbox is available depends on how you started the Search Only plan:
If you were previously on an Auto Apply subscription and switched to Search Only, your AIApply inbox stays available — since it was already created for your previous subscription, it remains in your account.
If you subscribed to Search Only directly, without a previous Auto Apply subscription, an AIApply inbox is not created for your account. Since Search Only doesn't submit applications, there's no need for a dedicated inbox to receive application-related emails.
