What is Zety?

Zety is one of the best-known resume builders, offering a guided wizard that prompts you with role-specific content for each section, clean templates and a cover letter builder. Reviewers consistently praise the builder itself, particularly for first-time resume writers, and it holds a strong Trustpilot score across many thousands of reviews.

Two things belong on any honest page about it. Free accounts can only export plain text, which strips all formatting, so the formatted download requires payment, and the advertised trial around $1.95 to $2.95 auto-renews at roughly $25.95 every four weeks, thirteen charges a year rather than twelve. Separately, owner BOLD Limited is a defendant in a federal antitrust complaint filed in April 2026 alleging it controls over twenty resume brands that appear to compete while sharing an owner. Those are allegations, not findings.
