The difference that decides it

Same posting. Two very different queue positions.

LandEarly watches for the posting and submits inside the window a recruiter is still reading every application end to end. Here is where each one’s application lands.

Questions

LandEarly vs Teal, answered

What is the main difference between LandEarly and Teal?

Teal prepares applications; LandEarly sends them. Teal gives you a resume builder, keyword matching, a tracker, and interview practice — but you still find each posting and submit it yourself. LandEarly watches for new matching jobs and submits a tailored resume and cover letter within minutes of the posting going live.

Does Teal apply to jobs for you?

No. Teal is built for preparation and organization: you save jobs from your browser, tailor a resume against the job description, and apply on your own. That is a deliberate product choice, not a gap. LandEarly is built for the other half of the problem — getting the finished application in early, without you at the keyboard.

Can I use Teal and LandEarly together?

Yes, and plenty of people would be well served doing exactly that. Teal is a strong free workspace for tracking a search and shaping your resume; LandEarly handles the applying itself, submitting tailored applications to Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable while the posting is still fresh.

Is Teal free?

Teal has a free plan that includes unlimited job tracking and its Chrome extension, with a paid Teal+ tier for its full resume and matching features. LandEarly gives you 3 free applications with no credit card, so you can see a tailored application actually get submitted before paying.
