How does Puvio compare to Teal?

Updated 2026-09-14 · Written by the Puvio team · Deepam, founder · Corrections · Start free

Their stack on the left, Puvio on the right
What they sell on the left. What Puvio actually does on the right.

In short

Teal ($29/mo) tailors your resume to each job description and scores ATS keyword match. Solid if the bottleneck is getting past the parser. Puvio ($15-29/mo) starts after the PDF: fit against your record, company intel, alumni and contacts at the company to ask for a referral, and a draft that sounds like you. The win log continues once you are employed. Teal optimizes the document. Puvio arms the conversation. Public sales research on cold email often lands around 6 percent replies. That is an industry reference, not a Puvio number. Source: blog.hubspot.com/sales/sales-email-templates . A keyword-stuffed résumé does not move that number by itself. A researched note to an alum is a different bet.

Where Teal earns its keep

You apply through ATS portals all day and need keyword match percentages before you hit submit. Teal Chrome extension and resume tailoring are built for exactly that loop.

Where Puvio picks up

Your resume is fine but nobody replies. Puvio puts company research, alumni and contacts, and outreach on one card per role. So you ask for a referral with receipts, not a keyword-stuffed template.

Maya Okonkwo already had a résumé. Forty applications still went quiet. Six researched notes got three replies in eleven days. Story: puvio.app/stories/three-replies

Can you run both?

Some people tighten keywords in Teal, then run targeted outreach in Puvio for the roles that matter. Different steps in the same search. If you can only pay for one, pick the bottleneck. Parser: Teal. Silence after a fine PDF: Puvio.

What do you pay, and what still sits on you?

Teal list pricing is commonly cited at $29/month for the résumé and tracker loop. Puvio Job search is $15/month. Complete is $29/month and includes the win log after you land. Starter is free: 75 credits once, no card. puvio.app/pricing

Teal's Chrome extension lives next to the posting. Puvio never asks for LinkedIn login. Contact discovery uses public professional signals. You copy every draft. Trust: puvio.app/trust

If the portal requires a keyword-tuned PDF, Teal can still be the tool for that file. The note to an alum is a different file. Do not expect a keyword score to do both jobs.
