Our verdict
Enhancv suits job seekers and small teams who want a free resume builder and a cheap paid plan later. It opens at $16.50, keeps a free plan, and adds a 7 day trial of the paid tiers. Support stays on email and help centre, which keeps answers written rather than spoken.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free plan is available, so a draft costs nothing before a paid tier is chosen.
- A 7 day trial lets buyers sit with a paid plan before committing.
- Covers both writing and design under ai writing and design, so a single subscription handles the text and its layout.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so live chat and phone help sit outside the mix.
- The service runs under Enhancv R&D., so buyers needing a named counterparty elsewhere may look wider.
Who it suits
- Job seekers who want a resume drafted and laid out before spending anything.
- Candidates who also want design help, since Enhancv covers ai writing and design.
- Small teams polishing CVs on a small budget, with 7 days to test a paid plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs live chat or a phone line, as support is limited to email and help centre.
- Buyers priced in other currencies, since Shafrik starts at XOF 9,900 and sits far above Enhancv.
Intro and renewal prices
Paid entry starts at $16.50, with a free plan sitting alongside it for anyone not ready to pay. A 7 day trial of the paid plans gives a short window before any charge lands. The published figure is an entry price, so renewal cost is the number to confirm before signing up.
What you get free
A free plan is available and Enhancv also runs a 7 day trial of the paid tiers, so the tool can be opened at no cost and tested properly before a subscription starts. Anyone planning to pay later should treat the trial as the place to judge output quality, since the free tier is the lighter option.

Frequently asked questions
What does Enhancv cost to start?+
Paid entry starts at $16.50, under the ai writing tools median of €19.27 and the design tools median of €13.15. A free plan is also available, so paying is not the only way in.
Is there a free plan and what does it allow?+
A free plan is available, and its stated limit is Free plan: max 12 section items. That ceiling is what a no-cost user runs into, so a longer document needs a paid plan. The limit is the practical boundary rather than a full application pack.
Can I try a paid plan before paying?+
A 7 day trial of the paid tiers is listed, which matches the median trial length across the brands compared here at 14. The trial is a standard one for this group, so it is enough to judge output before subscribing.
What support can I expect?+
Support runs on email and help centre, which is email plus a help centre. A live chat line or a phone queue sits outside that set, so questions are answered in writing. Anyone needing a spoken answer should factor that in before paying.
Does it cover design as well as writing?+
Enhancv lists ai writing and design, so writing and design sit in the same product. A buyer can shape the wording and the layout of the document without adding a separate design tool, which keeps the plan count down.
Who is behind Enhancv?+
The terms name Enhancv R&D. as the entity behind the service, which is the name to check for any contractual or billing question. Buyers who need a specific corporate counterparty can look at that name before signing up.
How does the entry price rank against similar tools?+
Enhancv sits at position 124 of 307 brands ranked on entry price, and its $16.50 is above the site median of €13.15. The wider spread runs from €0 to €1,315.44, so entry cost varies a lot across the group.
