# Applica

> Applica is a job search platform that helps active job seekers organize their search, analyze their resume against specific job postings, apply at scale, and prepare for interviews — all in one system.

## What Applica Does

Applica is built for people actively looking for work. It combines several tools into a single platform:

- **Resume Analyzer**: Scores a resume against any job posting for ATS compatibility, keyword gaps, experience match, and impact language. Provides a clear action plan. Available free (5 analyses/week) with no account required.
- **Chrome Extension**: Lets users analyze any job posting while browsing job boards. Saves matches to a prioritized worklist ranked by match score.
- **Application Tracker**: Automatically monitors the user's inbox and updates application statuses in real time. Rejections are processed quietly without manual tracking.
- **Interview Prep Guide**: Generated automatically when a job is moved to Interview status. Includes company background, recent news, likely questions with tailored answers, and questions to ask the interviewer.
- **App Booster**: A done-for-you service where real Applica team members (not bots) submit approximately 10 job applications per business day on the user's behalf. Runs for 30 business days, resulting in 300+ targeted applications.

## Pricing

- **Free Plan**: $0, forever. Includes 5 resume analyses per week, application history tracker, and interview kanban board.
- **Essential Plan**: $99 for 6 months. Includes unlimited resume analyses, Chrome Extension, automatic inbox monitoring, interview prep guide, and up to 3 profiles.
- **App Booster**: $400 one-time. Includes 30 business days of done-for-you applications (~10/day), plus 12 months of Essential Plan access.

## Who It's For

Applica is designed for active job seekers across all situations: people who were recently laid off, those quietly exploring new opportunities, parents and caregivers with limited time, career changers, recent graduates, and experienced professionals who need to reposition themselves.
