Lentra vs Teal
Teal builds your resume and tracks your applications. Lentra fills out the actual application forms. These solve different problems, so the honest answer for most people is "use both." Here's the breakdown of what each one does and where Lentra fits.
The short version
- Lentra fills application forms. Teal doesn't. Teal is a resume builder and tracker; the actual form-filling step is still manual unless you have an autofill tool.
- Lentra is free. Teal's good features are paid. The AI-powered Teal features sit behind a $9–$29 per month plan. Lentra's AI-drafted answers are included.
- The two products complement each other. Build the resume in Teal, fill the forms with Lentra. About 20 seconds per application either way.

What Lentra does that Teal can't
- Fills out the actual application. One click and your standard fields, work history, education, EEO self-ID, screener questions, and resume attachment all happen. Teal stops at the resume; everything after that is still your fingers on the keyboard.
- Drafts the essay answers, in-form. "Why this role?" and "Tell us about a time you led a team" get drafted from your real resume and profile, right in the application. Teal's AI is for resume content, not for what you write inside the form.
- Free, with no paid tier. Lentra is genuinely free. Teal's AI features, the ones that actually save time, are paid. No upgrade prompt mid-flow.
- Works on custom careers pages. Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and the long tail of company-built application forms. If a company rolls its own form, Lentra still fills it.
What Teal does that Lentra doesn't
Teal's resume builder is genuinely good. AI-powered bullet rewriting, template variety, and an interface designed for iterating on the resume itself. The application tracker is mature and well-designed; if you want a place to log every application you've sent with notes and status, Teal is built for that. Lentra doesn't try to be either of those things. The two products are complementary, not competing, and plenty of people use both: Teal to build and store the resume, Lentra to fill the applications.
