The short answer
Teal is a resume builder and job tracker: it helps you organise applications, match your resume to job descriptions and generate bullets and cover letters, with a free plan and Teal+ at $13 a week, $29 every 30 days or $79 every 90 days. You still send every application yourself. Horabbit finds roles that fit you, finds the person who decides, and writes them a short email in your voice with a tailored CV, from your own Gmail. Teal organises the search; Horabbit does the outreach.
On this page
Teal and Horabbit are often mentioned in the same breath, but they do different jobs. Teal is a workspace: a resume builder and a tracker that keep a long search organised. Horabbit is outreach: it finds the person who decides on a role and writes to them for you.
One helps you run a search well. The other changes who reads it.
What is Teal, actually?
As of November 2026, Teal’s pricing page splits the product into a free plan and Teal+.
Free includes unlimited resumes, unlimited job tracking, a set of resume templates, the top five keywords from a job description, basic resume analysis, one email template per job stage, and a small number of AI credits (five for resume bullets, two for professional summaries, two for cover letters).
Teal+ makes all of that unlimited: every keyword from the job description with a match score, unlimited resume analysis, unlimited AI bullets, summaries and cover letters, and full design control over your resume.
Teal also offers a job application tracker, an interview tracker and a networking CRM for saving contacts. What it does not do is send anything: you write, tailor and submit each application yourself.
Teal+ costs $13 every 7 days, $29 every 30 days or $79 every 90 days, in US dollars. You can cancel at any time from your account settings, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are considered if you request them within your plan’s eligibility timeframe, which Teal sets out in its cancellation and refund policy.
What does Horabbit do differently?
Horabbit does the part Teal leaves to you: reaching a person.
- It finds roles that fit you.
- It finds the person who decides on that role: the CTO, the engineering lead, the hiring manager.
- It writes a short email in your own voice, with a CV tailored to that role, sent from your own Gmail. You can keep each email in your drafts, or let Horabbit send it.
- Replies come back to your own inbox.
The volume is a few carefully chosen emails a day. A portal application lands in a queue of hundreds and is read first by a filter. An email to the person who owns the role lands in a queue of a few and is read by a human.
Replies usually take three to ten days, and some never come. We do not promise replies, interviews or offers.

What does the price math look like?
Conversions use the European Central Bank reference rate of 30 October 2026: 1 US dollar = ₹94.95. Teal bills in US dollars, so the rupee figure will move with the rate and your card may add a foreign-currency fee.
| Period | Teal+ (USD) | Teal+ in ₹ | Horabbit (₹, GST included) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 week | $13 | about ₹1,234 | ₹499 |
| About 1 month | $29 (30 days) | about ₹2,754 | ₹1,999 |
| About 3 months | $79 (90 days) | about ₹7,501 | ₹3,999 |
The fair reading: Teal’s free plan is genuinely useful, with unlimited resumes and tracking, and Horabbit has no free plan. If you want a free way to stay organised, Teal wins on price. The comparison only makes sense on the paid tiers, and there the two products are buying different things: Teal+ buys you better tools to do the work, Horabbit buys you the outreach itself.
When is Teal the better choice?
- You want to do the writing yourself and need a good place to tailor resumes and keep track of everything.
- You want a free tool. Teal’s free plan covers unlimited resumes and job tracking.
- You apply mostly through portals and want to improve the match between your resume and each job description.
When is Horabbit the better choice?
- Your tracker is full and your inbox is empty. Organising applications does not change who reads them.
- You want to reach the person who decides, not the queue in front of them.
- You want the email written in your voice and sent from your Gmail, with replies where you already read mail.
- You are in India and need sponsorship to work abroad. Horabbit skips teams that cannot sponsor you.
The verdict
Teal is a strong workspace for a search you run yourself, and its free plan is hard to argue with. Horabbit is for the person who has the spreadsheet already and needs the conversations. Many people will be well served by Teal alone; if your applications are organised and still unanswered, the issue is the queue, not the tracker.
For the arithmetic behind that, see you applied to 100 jobs and heard nothing. For Teal alongside the other ways to apply, see every way to apply for a job, compared.
