Jobright has built one of the biggest AI job search platforms, with millions of users and a huge job database. HireDue is newer and more focused: we want to take the whole manual part of the job hunt off your plate. I'm part of the HireDue team, so I'm not neutral, but here's a fair look at both.
The short version
- Choose Jobright if you want a large job database, match scores, an AI career coach and help finding insider connections, and don't mind clicking submit yourself.
- Choose HireDue if you want an agent that finds new roles every hour, applies for you on LinkedIn Easy Apply and external sites, sends outreach from your own accounts, and stores your data on your computer.
What Jobright does well
Jobright says it has more than 8 million jobs, with over 400,000 new listings every day, and matches you to roles based on your skills. It includes Orion, a 24/7 AI career copilot, tailored resumes generated in seconds, one-click autofill across major applicant tracking systems, and insider connections that help you find alumni and hiring managers (Jobright).
Its paid Turbo plan is widely reported at about $39.99 a month in 2026. Jobright has also been rolling out an AI agent that applies for you, though reviews earlier this year described it as limited or waitlisted for some users.
Where HireDue is different
Applying all the way through
Jobright's main application tool is autofill: it fills in forms, and you check and submit. HireDue completes and submits applications for you, including LinkedIn Easy Apply and external applications on systems like Greenhouse, Workday, Lever and Ashby.
Fresh jobs every hour, acted on
A giant job database is useful, but you still need to spot new roles quickly and act on them. HireDue checks for new roles every hour and applies to the ones that match your preferences, so you're early to the listings that matter.
Outreach, not just contacts
Jobright helps you find insider connections and their emails. HireDue goes a step further: it writes personalised messages and sends them from your own LinkedIn and email accounts, so a recruiter hears from you directly.
Local by design
Jobright is a web platform with a browser extension. HireDue is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. Your sessions, credentials and email history are encrypted and kept on your computer; only your resume, profile and billing details sync online.
