Where RefineCV stands out
Unlimited team seats, no per-user fee
RefineCV includes unlimited team seats on every plan, and the price you pay follows the number of CVs you format. Allsorter does not publish a price at all. Its Elite plan is described as being for teams of 5 or more, and you have to request a quote to find out what it costs.
Two ways to get your template, both free
Build it yourself with the drag-and-drop template builder, or send us your existing CV template as a Word, PDF, or PowerPoint file and we rebuild it in your account. No setup fee, no per-template fee, and edits are always free. Free template builds are included with any paid plan (Pay As You Go or Pro). Allsorter also builds templates for you, but its template and setup pricing is not published (quote only), and it has no self-serve builder.
Self-serve signup
Sign up and start formatting CVs in 60 seconds with no credit card. Allsorter requires booking a demo with their sales team before you can access the product. Their 14-day trial is gated behind a sales conversation.
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 publishes no figures on its pricing page. Both the Elite and Enterprise tiers sit behind a Request Quote button, so you cannot compare cost without a sales call.
Need a template? We'll build it for you, free.
Send us your existing CV template as a Word, PDF, or PowerPoint file and we rebuild it in your account. No setup fee, no per-template fee, and edits are always free. Included with any paid plan.
Where Allsorter has an edge
We believe in honest comparisons. Here is where Allsorter is ahead today.
Enterprise pedigree
Allsorter says it is trusted by more than 400 agencies globally, naming Randstad, Michael Page, and Addison Group. That is Allsorter's own figure rather than an independently verified one, but the named references matter to enterprise procurement teams.
ISO 27001 certified
Allsorter publishes ISO 27001 certification and Cyber Essentials Plus, along with AES-256 encryption at rest, EU AWS hosting, a named Data Protection Officer, and a seven-day default retention on uploaded personal data. RefineCV publishes neither certification, so this is a genuine Allsorter lead.
More ATS integrations
Allsorter publishes 6 named ATS integrations: JobAdder, Bullhorn, Salesforce including Bullhorn for Salesforce, Tracker, Vincere, and Mercury. Recruiters reformat without leaving the ATS.
AI Productivity Suite
Allsorter offers tone adjustment, perspective conversion (1st/3rd person), and content expansion and contraction. RefineCV does not currently offer these AI enhancement features.
Common questions
How much does Allsorter cost compared to RefineCV?
Allsorter does not publish a price. Its pricing page shows two tiers, Elite and Enterprise, both behind a Request Quote button, so the only way to find out is to book a sales call. Allsorter says its pricing is flexible and based on usage rather than headcount. RefineCV publishes its rate: $0.40 per CV pay as you go with no minimum, or $0.25 per CV on Pro at $50 per month for 200 CVs, with unlimited team seats on every plan.
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. It publishes ISO 27001 certification and Cyber Essentials Plus, plus AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, EU AWS hosting, a named Data Protection Officer, and a seven-day default retention on uploaded personal data. RefineCV publishes GDPR-compliant storage but holds neither certification. If your procurement team requires ISO 27001 today, Allsorter meets that requirement and RefineCV does not.
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. You cannot edit templates directly. RefineCV gives you both options: a self-service drag-and-drop template builder where you create and update templates yourself, and a free done-for-you build where our team rebuilds your template for you. Both are free, and neither is metered.
Will RefineCV build my agency template for me, and what does it cost?
Yes, for free. Send us your existing CV template as a Word, PDF, or PowerPoint file and we rebuild it in your account. No setup fee, no per-template fee, and edits are always free. Free template builds are included with any paid plan (Pay As You Go or Pro). Allsorter also offers done-for-you templates, but its template and setup pricing is not published and is quote only.
Is Allsorter worth it for small agencies?
Allsorter is built for larger teams. Its Elite plan is described as being for teams of 5 or more, it publishes no price, and you cannot sign up without a sales conversation. A small agency formatting 100 CVs a month pays $40 on RefineCV pay as you go, published up front, and can test it on 10 CVs first with no card. Unless you specifically need ISO 27001 or Allsorter's ATS-native workflow, RefineCV is the easier starting point for a small team.
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.
If you want enterprise features without enterprise pricing, RefineCV is built for you.
