What it is and how it applies
Simplify is a job-search suite from Simplify Jobs Inc. in San Francisco[1]. It has two ways of applying, and the difference matters.
Copilot is a free browser extension. You open an employer's application form and it fills in the fields from your profile. You check the form and press submit yourself[2]. Simplify says it works on more than 100,000 company career sites[3]. Its Chrome Web Store listing names Workday, Lever and Greenhouse among them[4].
Autopilot is the paid mode. You pick a job from Simplify's matches, job board or search, choose a résumé and whether to add a cover letter, then confirm. Confirming starts a run that fills and submits the form for you[5]. The help centre says plainly that there is no review step before Autopilot submits[6]. If you want to check a form first, you have to use Copilot instead[5]. Autopilot only works on postings Simplify supports, and it does not publish a list of them[6].
Autopilot answers from your profile, your chosen résumé and your saved settings, which include work authorisation[6]. If it cannot answer a question, the run fails and you can finish the form with Copilot[5]. Simplify does not publish rules for equal-opportunity, sponsorship or salary questions under Autopilot. It has no explicit statement about not inventing experience. Its help centre does ask you to give accurate skills and results, because the AI emphasises them when rewriting your résumé[5]. Its terms warn that AI content can contain errors and that you must review it[7].
After a run, the Autopilot tab shows whether each application succeeded or failed. The résumé and cover letter it made are kept in your Documents[5]. The help centre does not say whether you can see the answers that were submitted.
Job Matches covers ten countries: the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy and Spain. None are in the Gulf. The job board does have a filter for remote roles in the UAE[8]. We found no MCP server or public API.
On data, you can delete your account yourself in settings[1]. The privacy policy names PostHog and Google Analytics for analytics, and Google and Meta for advertising. It does not name its AI providers. It says it does not sell data for money, but it shares identifiers with ad platforms for targeted advertising, with an opt-out. Recruiter matching can also show your profile to employers you have not applied to[1].
Pricing
Checked 15 Nov 2026. Copilot autofill, the job tracker and job matches are free with no card. Autopilot and the AI writing tools need Simplify+[2]. Web prices are[2]:
- $19.99 a week
- $39.99 a month
- $89.99 every 3 months
Every plan includes 20 Autopilot credits a week. One credit is used per successful submission. Failed or cancelled runs are free, and unused credits do not roll over[2]. App Store prices can differ[2].
Per-application math, at full use: the 3-month plan is $89.99 ÷ (20 × 13 weeks = 260), about $0.35 each. The monthly plan is $39.99 ÷ about 87, about $0.46. The weekly plan is $19.99 ÷ 20, about $1.00[2]. Those prices also buy AI writing tools, so they are not only for applications.
Refunds are narrow. Payments are final once Simplify+ is active. A pro-rated refund is possible only for an unintended renewal reported within 24 hours, minus fees, or for a long technical failure you show to support live[9]. Apple handles App Store refunds[9].
Who it's for
- People who want free help typing applications and are happy to press submit themselves[2].
- People who apply to a small number of roles each week. Twenty automated sends a week is the cap[2].
- Job seekers in the ten countries Job Matches covers[8].
- iPhone users who want the same account on web, extension and app[2].
Who should skip it
- Anyone who wants to approve automated applications before they go. Autopilot has no review step[6].
- People who need more than about 20 automated applications a week[2].
- Anyone who wants a refund window on a first payment. There is none[9].
- People who want to know which AI providers handle their data. The policy does not name them[1].
- Job seekers focused on the Gulf. Matches does not cover any Gulf country[8].
- Anyone who wants to run it from an AI assistant. We found no MCP or API.
