ApplyBlast vs Simplify:Applications That Actually Get Sent

ApplyBlast. Simplify’s Copilot fills out forms and you still have to apply for jobs manually; ApplyBlast applies for jobs end-to-end. The ApplyBlast system scans its index of over 10 million jobs (with 52,000 new jobs added daily) and finds the jobs which best match your criteria for role, pay, location, seniority and experience. After matching you with the best jobs ApplyBlast tailors your resume, application answers and cover letter for the higher scoring jobs and applies right away, while the job is still fresh. That said, you do have the option to apply for jobs yourself with the ApplyBlast extension.

No. Simplify calls their product Copilot, and touts one-click autofill for job applications on 100,000+ company career sites. With Simplify, jobs are automatically tracked in your application tracker once you’ve submitted them. ApplyBlast also has an extension that enables you to manually autofill applications if you’d prefer to apply to jobs yourself. The difference is that ApplyBlast also screens jobs for fit and submits applications on your behalf with Auto Apply. While Copilot will autofill the application for you, you still have to manually find the jobs, open the links, check the applications, and submit them.

For most job seekers, yes. Simplify’s main benefit is that it can make each job application faster, but you’ll still be applying manually. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, go for its free tier. If your job search is suffering from a lack of time, however, ApplyBlast offers a fully automated service. It searches for jobs, determines which are right for you, customizes your application materials, and applies, all without your involvement.

Usually because autofill still left them doing the job search by hand. The reasons that come up most are genuine automatic submission instead of one-click form filling, a much larger job index with direct company career-site sourcing, per-job fit scoring before anything is sent, materials tailored per role rather than reused, and applying while postings are new. ApplyBlast also has its own browser extension for applying hands-on, so switching does not cost them that — it adds automation on top of it, and keeps running when the browser is closed.

Simplify offers several free features, including the Copilot autofill extension, the Matches job board, and application tracking, while others, including AI-powered resume tailoring, cover letter writing, and help with essay questions, are available only with a Simplify+ subscription. The rates, however, are only made available through the app, and not on a public web page, whereas ApplyBlast is more transparent in its approach to pricing and plans and allows you to browse the job board without needing to create an account.
