Jobscan vs Teal
Jobscan
Jobscan scores a job seeker's resume against a specific job description on a 0-100 ATS match rate, flags missing hard- and soft-skill keywords and ATS formatting problems, and bundles a resume builder, LinkedIn optimizer, cover-letter generator, application tracker and a review-gated Auto Apply that drafts answers to ATS-hosted application forms.

Teal
Teal is a freemium platform for job seekers offering an AI resume builder, a job-application tracker/CRM, and resume-to-job-description keyword matching, plus a Chrome extension that saves postings from 40+ job boards; it does not auto-apply, so the user manually submits every application.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -2.1.

Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
