Puvio
Comparison
Jobscan ($49.95/mo or $29.98/mo quarterly) scans your resume against a job description and scores ATS keyword match — the original "beat the filter" tool. Puvio ($0–$29/mo) goes around the filter: Hunter scores your fit, researches the company, finds the hiring manager, and drafts outreach. Jobscan helps you pass the ATS; Puvio helps you reach the human behind it.
Bottom line: Use Jobscan if ATS keyword matching is your main barrier; choose Puvio if you want to reach the hiring manager directly with researched outreach.

You are applying through ATS portals (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever) and want to maximize keyword match before you submit. Jobscan is the most established ATS scanner with the largest keyword database.
You have seen that a high ATS score still results in silence — and you want to reach the human decision-maker with a researched message that proves your fit, rather than tweaking keywords for a robot that may never surface your resume.
