Our verdict
Jofibo is a resume builder for beginners that leads with a free plan rather than a trial. The free Basic plan covers 1 resume and 1 cover letter on free Basic plan, and the company has run since 2019, so the free tier carries many early applications.

Frequently asked questions
Does Jofibo have a free plan?+
Yes. The free plan is listed as yes, and free plan names free-plan as the model, so there is no trial clock to watch. The free Basic plan is the place to start, and it is the version to weigh against FlowCV and Framer before paying anything.
What does the Jofibo free plan include?+
The free Basic plan covers 1 resume and 1 cover letter on free Basic plan. That is the whole free allowance, so a further draft or a version aimed at another role falls outside it. Framer, a site builder rather than a resume tool, includes 500 AI credits on Free plan on its Free plan.
How does Jofibo compare with FlowCV on the free tier?+
Closely. The FlowCV free limits are 1 resume and 1 cover letter, and the Jofibo free Basic plan covers 1 resume and 1 cover letter on free Basic plan. Both products are aimed at simple documents, so the useful comparison sits further up, in what the paid plans include and what they charge at renewal.
Is ResumeBuild.com a free option like Jofibo?+
It is not. ResumeBuild.com has no free plan, so anyone who wants to draft without paying can start with Jofibo, where the free Basic plan covers 1 resume and 1 cover letter on free Basic plan. ResumeBuild.com makes more sense for readers who intend to pay from the outset.
Who is Jofibo built for?+
beginners lists beginners as the audience, and the tool type is design, so the focus sits on how a document looks rather than on long tracking of applications. It suits someone writing a resume and a matching cover letter, and little more than that.

The founding year listed for Jofibo is 2019. It sits in the design tools comparison on the site, which groups 29 brands, and the median starting price across that group is €13.15.
Where do design tool prices usually sit?+
Across the design tools group, the median starting price is €13.15, the lower quartile is €8.77 and the upper quartile is €21.99. Most of that group offers a free plan, and free plan puts Jofibo in the same camp.
