| Your data | Your resume feeds your scores. An employer sees it only if you apply to its role or opt in to the talent pool. | When you use AI features, your data is sent to the servers of an AI provider such as OpenAI or Anthropic.

Data is kept until the account is closed or for a maximum of 5 years from the last log in, and you can ask for erasure.Source |

Worth knowing about Kickresume
How this was checked
Read from kickresume.com, its pricing page, its ATS checker page, its job tracker page and its privacy policy. The pricing page and the home page show different counts of customers, and the home page names two different GPT versions for its cover letter writer. A privacy policy address under /en/ returned a 404, so the one without it was read. The mobile app rating comes from its home page, not from the store listing. Checked 17 October 2026. Corrections go to the Contact page.
Where Kickresume’s own pages disagree
- The yearly plan is $4.50/month in the plan cards and $5/month in the comparison table on the pricing page.
- The home page calls its AI cover letter writer GPT-4.1 powered in one place and GPT-3 powered in another.
Short answers.
Can I use both?
Yes. A common split is Zorlya to find which roles fit and Kickresume to write the resume and cover letter for the one you apply to. Neither needs the other.
Does Zorlya apply to jobs for me?
No. It scores, explains and drafts. You decide and you apply.
Can I move my applications over?
There is no import today. A card on the Zorlya board belongs to a job in the Zorlya feed, so applications are added from there, by hand or by asking your MCP client to call track_application.
