Novoresume has earned a loyal following with its clean interface and content suggestions. But the free plan limits you to one basic template and one page, and premium features like multiple templates and cover letters require a subscription ($19.99/month). LuckyResume gives you access to all 8 templates, unlimited pages, and clean PDF export — completely free.

One template on free.

Premium pricing is steep.
At $19.99/month, Novoresume is one of the more expensive resume builders. For a tool most people use for a few weeks during a job search, that adds up fast. LuckyResume costs nothing.
Import and improve.
Already have a resume? LuckyResume lets you import a PDF or Word file and instantly reformat it with professional typography. Novoresume requires you to rebuild from scratch.
Design quality.
