Where RefineCV stands out
No per-user pricing
RefineCV includes unlimited team seats on every plan. Allsorter charges $119 per user per month with a 5-user minimum ($595/mo floor). A 25-person agency pays $2,975/mo with Allsorter vs $50/mo with RefineCV Pro.
Self-service template builder

Self-serve signup

Transparent, published pricing
Every RefineCV plan is published on our website. PAYG at $0.40/CV or Pro at $50/month for 200 CVs. Allsorter lists $119/user/month but enterprise pricing requires custom quotes and negotiation.

Common questions
Why is Allsorter so much more expensive than RefineCV?
Allsorter uses per-user pricing at $119/user/month with a 5-user minimum. This model is designed for enterprise procurement where budgets are allocated per headcount. RefineCV charges per CV ($0.25-$0.40) with unlimited team seats, so your cost scales with usage, not team size. A 20-person team on Allsorter pays $2,380/month. The same team on RefineCV Pro pays $50/month for 200 CVs.
Can I sign up for Allsorter without a sales call?
No. Allsorter requires a demo or sales conversation before granting access. Their 14-day trial (50 uploads) is shared through their sales team, not available through self-serve signup. RefineCV lets you create an account and start formatting in 60 seconds with no credit card required.
Do both tools integrate with Bullhorn?
Yes. Both RefineCV and Allsorter integrate directly with Bullhorn. Allsorter also integrates with JobAdder, Salesforce, Tracker, Vincere, and Mercury. RefineCV integrates with Bullhorn and SAP, with more platforms planned.
Which tool has better security certifications?
Allsorter. They hold ISO 27001 certification and claim SOC 2 and Cyber Essentials+ compliance. RefineCV is GDPR compliant and working toward ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification. If your procurement team requires ISO 27001 today, Allsorter currently meets that requirement.
Can I build my own templates on Allsorter?
No. Allsorter uses a managed template service. You submit a DOCX template or brand guidelines, and their team builds the template for you within 24 hours. You cannot edit templates directly. RefineCV provides a self-service drag-and-drop template builder where you create and update templates yourself at no extra cost.
Is Allsorter worth it for small agencies?
Allsorter is built for enterprise teams. With a 5-user minimum at $119/user/month, the floor is $595/month. A small agency formatting 100 CVs/month would pay $595+ with Allsorter vs $40 with RefineCV PAYG. Unless you specifically need ISO 27001 or their ATS integrations beyond Bullhorn, RefineCV offers significantly better value for smaller teams.
The verdict
Both tools format CVs with AI extraction and branded templates. Allsorter is built for enterprise procurement with ISO 27001, 7 ATS integrations, and 25-language support. RefineCV gives you unlimited seats, self-service templates, and per-CV pricing from $0.25.
