Free template builds, no per-template fee
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.

No. iReformat does not publish pricing on their website. Every agency receives a custom quote based on monthly resume volume. Based on figures from their own blog, plans appear to start around $150/month. RefineCV publishes all pricing publicly: $0.40 per CV with no commitment, or $50/month for 200 CVs on Pro.
Can I try RefineCV before paying?
Yes. Every agency gets 10 free CVs with no credit card required. These credits never expire, so you can evaluate at your own pace. iReformat offers a 15-day free trial, also with no credit card.
Which tool supports more file formats?
RefineCV accepts 10 input formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, CSV, TXT, ODT, RTF, and Apple Pages. iReformat accepts 7: PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, JPG, and PNG.
Do both tools offer unlimited team seats?
Yes. Both RefineCV and iReformat include unlimited team seats on all plans with no per-user fees.
Which is better for Bullhorn users?
Both tools support Bullhorn. RefineCV integrates directly with Bullhorn via API. iReformat also works with Bullhorn and formats output to parse correctly in Bullhorn's system. Both are solid options for Bullhorn-centric agencies.
Does RefineCV charge for extra templates like iReformat?
No. RefineCV builds your template for you free. Send us your existing CV template as a Word, PDF, or PowerPoint file and we rebuild it in your account. There is no setup fee, no per-template fee, and edits are always free. You can also build templates yourself with the self-serve drag-and-drop builder. iReformat gives you one free custom template at signup, then charges $100 on the Lite plan or $120 on the Plus plan for each additional template. Free template builds are included on every plan, including Free.
What if I need batch processing?
iReformat supports batch uploads of up to 100 resumes per batch out of the box. RefineCV currently processes CVs individually but can enable batch processing on request for agencies that need high-volume workflows.
The verdict
Both tools turn messy CVs into branded documents with AI extraction and custom templates.
RefineCV gives you transparent pricing from $0.25/CV, post-format editing, and direct ATS integrations. iReformat brings a longer track record and batch processing, but requires a sales call for pricing.
