Researched, hands-on test pending
Our top pick: Claude. This write-up is based on research from public sources; we haven't tested it hands-on yet and will update this page when we do. Prices were checked on 31 October 2026 and can change.
Top pick: Claude
- Official site: claude.ai
- What it does: Strong at rewriting clunky bullet points into clear achievements, and at tailoring a CV to a pasted job advert.
- Rough UK price: Free; Pro about £18/month on the web, or £20 in the iPhone app (sources differ)
- Free tier: Yes, with usage limits.
- UK caveats: Tell it you want a UK CV: no photo, no date of birth, usually two pages. Never let it invent qualifications.
- Don't use it if you are: Anyone wanting a designed, templated document; you'll still need Word or Google Docs.
Alternative: ChatGPT

- What it does: Same job, plus mock interview practice by voice.
- Rough UK price: Free; Go £7/month; Plus £20/month
- Free tier: Yes.
- UK caveats: Same UK CV rules apply.
- Don't use it if you are: People who'd rather not paste personal history into a chatbot.
