ApplyTrac vs Huntr

The established Kanban job board, compared to a tracker that fills itself in

We build ApplyTrac. The section below on where Huntr is the better choice is not a formality — read it before you decide.

What Huntr is built for

Huntr is one of the longest-running job-search trackers and its board is mature and well-liked. It pairs a Kanban pipeline with resume and cover-letter tooling, and a clipper extension for saving postings.

Where Huntr wins

  • Longer track record and a larger community, so more written guidance exists
  • Resume and cover-letter tooling built directly into the same workspace
  • A board people already know how to use, with no learning curve

Where ApplyTrac wins

  • Autofill is the centre of the product, not an accessory — Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and iCIMS form patterns, including multi-page flows
  • The record is written on submit, so the pipeline does not depend on you remembering to clip the job
  • Screening answers are remembered per question and reused across applications
  • A sortable data grid over the same records as the board, not a separate export

Which should you pick?

Pick Huntr if you want a proven board and you are happy to save jobs deliberately. Pick ApplyTrac if the hours are going into filling forms rather than organising them.

Common questions

Is ApplyTrac better than Huntr?

For a different job. Pick Huntr if you want a proven board and you are happy to save jobs deliberately. Pick ApplyTrac if the hours are going into filling forms rather than organising them.

Can I use ApplyTrac and Huntr together?

Yes. They are separate tools with no shared data, so nothing stops you running both — though in practice most people find keeping two pipelines current is worse than keeping one.

Is ApplyTrac free?

Yes. Unlimited tracked applications free forever, including the pipeline board, data grid, resume vault and analytics, plus 50 extension autofills and 50 AI drafts per month. Pro at $19.99/month removes those two caps.
