5 tools, compared on the same criteria.
GetMattered is our product and our pick. Competitor facts come from their current public pricing and product pages.
How we compared
Same criteria, same order, every category on this site. This is public-source research, not a claim that we bought and hands-on tested every competitor.
Criterion 01
Tracker depth: unlimited jobs vs capped
Criterion 02
Apply integration: tracker auto-updates on submission, or you enter every job manually
Criterion 03
UX format: Kanban vs list vs mobile-native
Criterion 04
Bundle scope: standalone tracker vs part of a broader stack
Criterion 05
Chrome extension: one-click job capture from LinkedIn and Indeed
A job tracker keeps you sane when you have 50 active applications. The good ones capture jobs from a Chrome extension, sync with the apply step, and remind you to follow up. The best ones tie the tracker to the apply pipeline so every submission creates an entry automatically.
