ProfilUp vs Teal — which tool should you choose?
Teal is an excellent application tracker with a few AI resume tools. It's very well made, but 100% in English and resume-focused rather than LinkedIn-focused. ProfilUp covers a wider pipeline: rewritten LinkedIn profile, native Chrome extension, AI spontaneous applications, and a hidden-opportunity radar — built for the French market, at an accessible price.
Teal is great for tracking your applications in English. ProfilUp goes further: it starts by rewriting your LinkedIn profile, lives in your browser via an extension, and sends its AI to hunt for hidden opportunities — all built for the French market, at a similar or lower price.

Why ProfilUp wins
5 reasons to choose ProfilUp over Teal.
ProfilUp starts with your LinkedIn profile
Teal works on your resume. ProfilUp rewrites your LinkedIn profile — the first thing recruiters see in France. Result: more visibility without sending a single resume.
AI spontaneous applications — exclusive
No other tool identifies companies hiring in your sector AND drafts a spontaneous cover letter for each one. ProfilUp opens access to the hidden job market (70% of positions are never published).
Career Ops — the radar
We continuously scan 30+ career sites (Greenhouse, Lever…) where the best postings appear before LinkedIn. AI scores them for you, so you apply before everyone else. Teal has nothing like it.
Built for the French market
French recruiter vocabulary, local ATS systems, tailored sectors. Teal is designed for the US market (conventions, sectors, salaries) and its interface is English-only.
A one-time €4.90 Boost is often enough
For a targeted job change, ProfilUp Boost at a one-time €4.90 already gives you the full optimization + Job Radar + 15 letters + unlimited tracker. Teal Premium is $29/month, recurring, for similar features.
Let's be honest
When Teal can be the right choice.
No tool is universal. Here are the cases where Teal still makes sense.
You're job hunting in the US/UK and work in English
Teal is calibrated for the US market. If all your applications are in English and France isn't your target market, its scoring fits better.
You just want a tracker, nothing more
Teal has a very well-made Kanban tracker. If you write your own LinkedIn profile and just need to track applications, Teal's free plan may be enough.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions about this comparison.
Does Teal have a free plan? Does ProfilUp?
Yes, both do. ProfilUp Discovery (free) gives you a full analysis and a preview of your optimized headline. Teal Free lets you use the tracker with some limitations on AI tools.
Is ProfilUp's tracker as good as Teal's?
Teal's tracker is its historic strength and remains excellent. ProfilUp's tracker covers the essentials — Kanban, statuses, ATS score per posting, notes — and integrates natively with the rest of the product (postings captured by the Chrome extension, letters generated in one click). We're not trying to beat Teal on the tracker alone; we're trying to help you avoid juggling 4 different tools.
Can I migrate my applications from Teal to ProfilUp?
No automatic import for now. You can manually add your ongoing applications to the ProfilUp tracker, or use the Chrome extension to capture any new LinkedIn posting in one click.
