Jobscan is a well-known ATS resume optimiser — you paste a job description and your resume, and it scores the match and suggests keywords. It's useful, but it stops at the resume: you still have to apply to every job yourself, one at a time. For an active search in India, that's the slow part. Here's how Scout compares.
Jobscan vs Scout
| Feature | Scout | Jobscan |
|---|---|---|
| ATS resume scoring | ✓ ≥95 per role | ✓ (manual, per check) |
| Tailors the resume for you | ✓ Full rewrite per JD | Suggestions only |

| Cover letter per role | Add-on | |
| Price | ₹499/mo or ₹4,499 lifetime | ~$50/mo |
Which should you use?
If you only want to grade one resume against one JD, Jobscan does that. If you want every application tailored, ATS-checked, and submitted for you across India's boards, Scout is the end-to-end alternative — it includes the ATS optimisation Jobscan does, then actually applies.
