What Teal is.

Teal is an AI resume builder and job bookmarker founded in 2019 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. The core product is a Chrome extension that saves job listings from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and roughly fifty other boards, plus a web-based resume editor that rewrites bullet points with AI. Teal raised $20.7M in Series A funding in 2022 and reports more than two million members. Its Chrome extension holds a 4.9-star rating with thousands of reviews and sits as a Featured Extension in the Chrome Web Store. Teal's job tracker is a kanban board with columns for Saved, Applied, Interview, Offer, and Rejected, with notes and basic follow-up fields on each card. As of April 2026, the product is well regarded for resume optimization and far less developed as an end-to-end job search system. Orbyt and Teal sit in adjacent markets: Teal sells resume polish, Orbyt sells a full search CRM.

Pricing, head to head.

On pricing, Teal runs a free tier with capped AI usage and a Teal+ subscription at $29 per month, $79 per quarter, or $179 per year (roughly $15 per month billed annually). The free Teal tier limits users to 10 AI bullet credits, 2 AI summary credits, and 2 AI cover letter credits per month, which most active job seekers exhaust in a single week of applying. Orbyt runs a free-forever tier that includes unlimited job tracking, contacts, follow-up reminders, runway planning, wellness logging, daily goals, interview prep for 600-plus companies, and resume ATS scoring. Paid Orbyt plans start at $19.99 per month for Unlimited and $29.99 per month for Pro, with $199 and $299 annualized rates. For a job seeker who needs resume polish plus a tracker, Teal+ at $15 to $29 per month covers only half of what Orbyt's free tier already includes in April 2026.

Orbyt wins.

Five tabs to one.

Feature by feature.

The difference between Orbyt and Teal is not a feature list. It is an architectural philosophy. Teal was built around its resume editor. Every other surface, the kanban tracker, the Chrome extension, the cover letter credits, branches off that trunk. When a Teal user meets a recruiter at a networking event, the recruiter's name goes in a note field, or nowhere at all. When that recruiter replies to a message three weeks later, there is no system remembering what role the conversation started on. Orbyt was architected in reverse. The job is the record. The contact is tied to the job. The follow-up fires from the relationship. The resume gets tailored when an application moves from Saved to Applied. In practice, a Teal user opens six tools to run one search: Teal for the resume, a spreadsheet for the tracker, Notes for contacts, a banking app for runway, a wellness app for mental health, a calendar for interviews. An Orbyt user opens one. The feature table below counts that difference in checkmarks. The checkmarks are not the story. The story is the five tabs that close.

Game. Point. Match.

Side by side.

Who each tool is for.

Choose Teal if your entire job search strategy is resume optimization and you already track jobs somewhere else, like a spreadsheet or a Notion page. Teal's resume editor is genuinely strong, the Chrome extension is polished, and if you never expect to track more than 20 applications or manage a network of contacts, Teal's $29-per-month Teal+ plan is a reasonable fit. Choose Orbyt if you are running a real job search. That means tracking forty or more applications, meeting multiple recruiters and hiring managers per role, following up on warm leads without dropping threads, watching savings runway while unemployed, and protecting mental health across what is often a six-month process. Orbyt's free tier already handles all of that. Senior candidates, career changers, and recently laid-off professionals tend to outgrow Teal within their first month of serious searching; those are the audiences Orbyt built for.

The bottom line, in 2026.

As of April 2026, Teal is the right tool for resume-first job seekers with lightweight tracking needs, and Orbyt is the right tool for the full search. Teal wins on brand recognition, resume editor polish, and Chrome extension reach. Orbyt wins on CRM depth, runway tracking, wellness coaching, pricing, and feature coverage. The honest answer for most job seekers in 2026: use Teal's free tier for resume bullets if you like its editor, but run the actual search from Orbyt. You will find that within two weeks the Teal tab stops getting opened, because every job, contact, follow-up, interview note, salary comparison, and mood check-in already lives in one place in Orbyt.

How to migrate from Teal to Orbyt.

Switching from Teal to Orbyt takes about ten minutes and you do not have to start your search over. Here is the exact sequence used by the last hundred users who made the move.

1. Export your Teal job list. In Teal, open Job Tracker, click the settings gear, and export as CSV. Teal exports stage, job title, company, and URL for every saved job.
2. Sign up for Orbyt at orbytjobs.ai. The free tier is enough to complete the migration; you can upgrade later if you want resume tailoring or interview prep.
3. Import the CSV into Orbyt. On first login, the Getting Started panel includes a CSV import step. Map Teal's columns to Orbyt's Jobs fields (title, company, stage, URL). Orbyt preserves stage, so Saved stays Saved and Interview stays Interview.
4. Upload your resumes. Drag your PDF and DOCX files into Orbyt's Resume tab. Orbyt parses content automatically; no re-typing required.
5. Add contacts you have already met. For any recruiter, hiring manager, or reference you care about, open the matching job card in Orbyt and click Add Contact. Contacts stay tied to the role so follow-ups land in the right thread.
6. Cancel Teal+. If you were paying for Teal+, cancel from your Teal account page. Orbyt does not need Teal to be active; all data has already moved.

Most users are fully migrated within an hour and running the search from Orbyt the next morning. Nothing is lost in the move.
