Does Resume.io have an ATS scoring tool?

No. Resume.io is a resume builder, not an ATS scoring tool. To score your resume against ATS systems and find missing keywords, you need a dedicated tool — Ascend's free ATS check returns a 30-second score with a critical-gaps list.

Can I use a Resume.io template with Ascend?

Yes. Build your resume in Resume.io, export as PDF or DOCX, then upload it to Ascend's free ATS check page. We extract the text and score it without disturbing your template layout.

Is Ascend's free tier really free?

Yes — 1 resume per month, full ATS scoring, application tracker, and 3 free job matches per check, no credit card required. Resume.io's free tier requires payment to download a non-watermarked PDF.

Which builder makes better-looking resumes?

Resume.io has more design variety (50+ templates). Ascend has a smaller set of ATS-tested templates. If visual polish is your top priority, build in Resume.io and score in Ascend.

Can Ascend's AI rewrite a resume I built in Resume.io?

Yes. Upload your existing PDF/DOCX (the free ATS check accepts file uploads), pick a target job, and Ascend's AI Rewriter returns an ATS-optimized version.
