Lentra vs Simplify

By application 30, job hunting feels like a part-time job in itself. The Greenhouse form, the Workday form, the Workday form again because it logged you out, the company-built thing that doesn't autofill anywhere. Both Simplify and Lentra exist to make that part less brutal. Here's the honest read on which one fits how you actually apply.

The short version

  • Lentra is free for 3 applications a day. Counted per job rather than per page or per field. Unlimited is $19.99 a month.
  • Lentra fills more sites. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, plus the long tail of custom company careers pages where Simplify Copilot can fall over.
  • Lentra is about 20 seconds per application. One click, every field, every essay question, your resume attached.

What Lentra does better

  • A free plan with nothing held back. Simplify Copilot's free tier has caps on AI features that you'll notice during peak application season. Lentra's free plan is the whole product: 3 applications a day, AI answers included, nothing held back. A job counts once however many pages it spans, and refills are free. If you're sprinting harder than that, unlimited is $19.99 a month.
  • Broader site coverage. Both tools handle the big-name applicant tracking systems. Lentra also handles the long tail of custom careers pages that small companies and startups build themselves, which is where Simplify Copilot tends to drop off and you end up typing manually anyway.
  • Faster per application. One click fills the standard fields, the work history, the education, the EEO self-ID, the screener questions, and attaches your resume. Most applications go from 10 to 20 minutes down to about 20 seconds.
  • AI answers that don't run out. The "Why are you interested in this role?" and "Tell us about a project you're proud of" essays get drafted from your real resume and profile. High enough limits that you won't notice them.

When Simplify might fit better

Simplify's real moat isn't the Copilot extension, it's the SimplifyJobs GitHub internship list. That list is genuinely the best free internship resource on the internet, and there's no Lentra equivalent. If you're using Simplify primarily to find internships (which most people are), keep using the list. Lentra slots in for the filling step, not the discovery step.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Is Lentra really free?
Free to start: 3 job applications a day. The count is per job, not per page or per field, so a five-page Workday form is still one application, and refilling a job you already filled never counts again. Applying in bulk? Pro is unlimited applications for $19.99 a month.
Does Lentra have an internship list like Simplify?
No. The SimplifyJobs GitHub repo is the best free internship list out there and we're not trying to compete with it. The natural pairing is to keep using the Simplify list for discovery and use Lentra for the filling step.
What does Lentra do that Simplify doesn't?
Lentra fills faster, fills on more sites (especially the long tail of custom company careers pages where Simplify can fall short), and gives you AI-drafted answers at limits high enough that you won't bump into them during application season.
Can I use Lentra and Simplify together?
Yes. The two extensions don't conflict. The common pattern is Simplify (or the SimplifyJobs repo) for finding internships, Lentra for filling the actual applications.
Which is better for the actual filling step?
Lentra. That's the one thing we do, and we do it across more sites than Simplify Copilot supports. Simplify is a job-discovery list with autofill bundled in; Lentra is the autofill itself, sharpened.
