Applyd vs Teal for Irish graduate jobs
Teal has built a solid reputation around two things: a well-liked job application tracker and a resume builder, offered on a freemium model. Its public positioning is centred on the US market.
Applyd covers similar ground — documents and tracking — but from an Ireland-first starting point and with a different mechanic for each. Documents are tailored per role and fully editable, and tracking happens through a private email address rather than manual updates. Here is the comparison in plain terms, based on Teal’s public positioning as of mid-2026.

Where Teal shines
Its job tracker is well regarded and gives a clear overview of a busy pipeline.
The resume builder is a known strength, useful for getting a presentable document together quickly.
The freemium model means you can start organising a job search without paying anything.
Where Applyd is different
Ireland first
Applyd lists Irish roles only, curated from employer applicant tracking systems. Graduate scheme deadlines, Irish salary benchmarks, and onboarding that understands Irish work rights come as standard.
Documents tailored per role, and still yours to edit
Rather than one general CV, Applyd drafts a CV and cover letter for the specific role, shows skill and keyword coverage, and lets you edit every line. An authenticity check helps keep the result honest and in your own voice.
Tracking without the data entry
Trackers are only as good as what you remember to log. Applyd gives you a private @mail.applyd.ie address to apply with (or forward mail to), or you can connect your Gmail/Outlook inbox directly — either way, replies are detected and status suggestions happen automatically.
A free tier with plain pricing above it
The free tier is usable on its own. If you need more, PRO is €18/month and POWER is €34/month — in euro, for the market you are actually applying in.
Choose the tool that matches your job market
Teal is a sensible pick for a US-focused search built around a tracker and resume builder. If your search is in Ireland, Applyd pairs those jobs with tailored documents, a fit analysis, and tracking that updates itself from employer replies. The free tier is the easiest way to see the difference.
