Auto-apply cost per application calculator
At 50 applications a month, on the cheapest plan that covers them, cost per application is LazyApply $0.17, Simplify $0.60, Dreamwork (our publisher) $0.66, AIApply $0.98. LazyApply is cheapest because its smallest plan is $99 a year. JobCopilot, Jobright, Massive, and LoopCV do not publish a price and a limit together, so we cannot price them.
Key takeaways
- LazyApply Ultimate has the lowest list price per application, $0.002, if you send all 45,000 a month it allows.
- Sending fewer than a plan allows raises your real cost per application. The calculator divides by the number you will send.
- Annual and quarterly plans cost less a month but bill up front. Set the billing term to a month to rule them out.
- Prices are list prices in US dollars from each tool's own site, read November 8, 2026, before tax and coupons.

What does every auto-apply plan cost per application?
List price per application is a plan's monthly cost divided by every application it allows in a month. For example, AIApply's Auto Apply 100 plan is $49 a month for 100 applications, so its list price is $0.49 an application. List price is the floor. You pay more per application whenever you send fewer than the plan allows.

Which auto-apply tools cannot be priced per application?
The calculator leaves out tools whose own sites do not publish a billed price and an application limit together. We rechecked each one on November 8, 2026, and we do not estimate a price a company has not published. These tools are in the comparison with what their sites do say.
- JobCopilot
- Publishes a per-day 'from' figure and a limit in job matches, not a billed price or an application count.
- Jobright
- No consumer price or application limit is published on its own site.
- Massive
- Publishes a limit (200 a month) but no price on its own site.
- LoopCV
- Publishes a 'from €9.99' price but no application quota for any plan.
- BulkApply
- Its site did not resolve on November 8, 2026, so nothing could be read from it.
