Pricing & Credits
AI Job Application Pricing & Credits
Karko AI uses a credit-based pricing model: each complete application package costs 2 credits. The Free plan gives 10 credits (5 applications) free. The Plus plan ($39.99/month) gives 100 credits (50 applications). The Max plan ($79.99/month) gives 200 credits (100 applications). All tiers generate the same four documents with no quality difference between plans.
Plans
The Three Plans Explained
Free: 10 credits, 5 complete applications per month, no credit card required. Good for evaluating output quality before committing. Plus ($39.99/month): 100 credits, 50 complete applications per month. Good for active job searchers applying to 10 to 15 roles per week.
Max ($79.99/month): 200 credits, 100 applications per month. Good for high-volume campaigns or career transitions with many active applications. All plans include the full document package, fit score, and anti-hallucination safeguards.
Credit System
How Credits Are Counted
One complete application (Analyze First or Apply Directly) costs 2 credits. A fit assessment only (without generating documents) costs 0.5 credits. Regenerating a cover letter or email costs 0.5 credits per regeneration. The follow-up email is included in the initial 2-credit generation at no additional credit cost.
Add-on credit packs are available if you exceed your monthly plan volume.
Cost Breakdown
Cost Per Application: The Right Way to Compare
The fair comparison metric is cost per complete application package, not cost per month. Plus plan: $39.99 ÷ 50 applications = ~$0.80 per complete application package (CV + cover letter + 2 emails). Max plan: $79.99 ÷ 100 applications = ~$0.80 per application package.
Compare this to the time cost of manual applications: at 45 to 60 minutes each, 50 applications is 37 to 50 hours of manual work.
Choosing a Plan
When to Choose Each Plan
Start with the Free plan to validate output quality. Move to Plus if you are applying consistently and need more than 5 applications per month. Move to Max if you are in an intensive job search phase: layoff, career transition, or high-volume market.
Use credit packs to cover occasional spikes without upgrading your plan permanently.
Transparency
What the Credit System Prevents
Transparent credit counting makes cost predictable. Unlike tools that charge per "AI interaction" or have opaque token-based billing, Karko AI charges per complete application package. One job description generates one complete set of four documents for 2 credits.
You always know exactly what you're paying for.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Karko AI cost?
Free: 5 applications/month at no cost. Plus: $39.99/month for 50 applications. Max: $79.99/month for 100 applications. All plans include the complete 4-document package (tailored CV, cover letter, application email, follow-up email).
How many applications does 2 credits cover?
One complete application package. Each package generates a tailored CV, cover letter, application email, and follow-up email from a single job description. 2 credits = 1 complete package regardless of which flow you use (Analyze First or Apply Directly).
Is there a free plan with no credit card?
Yes. The Free plan gives 5 complete applications per month with no credit card required. The same AI quality as paid plans.
What happens if I run out of credits mid-month?
You can purchase additional credit packs without upgrading your monthly plan. Credit packs let you cover volume spikes without committing to a higher recurring price.
What is the cheapest plan for heavy job searching?
The Max plan at $79.99/month gives 100 applications, which works out to approximately $0.80 per complete application package. For context: replacing 100 manual applications (at 45 minutes each) with Karko AI saves roughly 75 hours of work per month.
