Questions
Is Sochen cheaper than Jobscan?+
Yes, from the first month: the Job Pass is ₹499 in India or $19 elsewhere ($12 or $9 in lower-income countries), paid once, for life, while Jobscan is $49.95 a month or $89.95 a quarter. The pass includes 100 chat turns, 20 job searches and 30 fit checks every month.
Does Sochen give an ATS score or a match rate?+
No. Applicant tracking systems don't share one score, so Sochen shows what a parser reads and checks each requirement against your resume with the line that proves it, then says the fit is strong, partial or weak.
Can I try it before paying?+
Yes: 1 resume, 10 chat turns, 1 full job search and 3 fit checks, with no card. The ATS checker and the resume builder pages need no account at all.
Can I use both?+
Yes. Nothing stops you from scanning with Jobscan's free plan and building and tailoring the resume, and finding the jobs, in Sochen.
