What does a cover letter analyzer do?
It reads your cover letter next to the job description and tells you how well the letter answers what the employer asked for: which requirements you cover, which you only mention in passing, and where the writing is vague, long or generic.
What we score
| Job relevance | Whether the letter speaks to this role rather than any role. |
|---|---|
| Personalization | Whether it names the company and shows you know what they do. |
| Evidence | Concrete results and examples behind your claims. |
| Clarity | Whether each paragraph makes one clear point. |
| Conciseness | Length and filler. |
| Tone | Confident and professional, without sounding generic. |
| Keyword alignment | Whether it uses the job's own wording for key requirements. |
Requirement coverage
Each key requirement from the job is marked Covered, Partially covered or Not clearly covered, with the line from your letter that supports it and a suggested fix.

Is it free?

Is my cover letter stored?
