Before you sign up

Fair questions, plain answers.

What people ask before they trust a tool with their job search.

Email support

Is Pithy free?

Yes. The free plan writes three tailored letters a month with every template. Pithy Pro is $12 a month for unlimited letters, interview prep and the browser extension, and you can cancel in two clicks.

Can recruiters tell an AI wrote my letter?

Pithy writes from your resume and your edits, then matches the tone you pick. Most people change a line or two before sending, which is what we recommend. It should sound like you on a good day.

Will Pithy invent experience I do not have?

Every claim in a draft comes from your resume or something you typed. If the job asks for a skill you have not listed, Pithy flags the gap and leaves it for you to answer honestly.

How long should a cover letter be?

Most recruiters skim a letter in under a minute. Pithy aims for 180 to 250 words and shows a live read time, so you can see when a draft runs long.

Does it work with applicant tracking systems?

Yes. Templates use plain fonts and real text, export cleanly to PDF and Word, and keep the keywords from the job post where a parser can find them.

Is my resume data private?

Your files are encrypted, never sold and never used to train public models. Delete your account and everything goes with it within 30 days.

Can I edit the letter myself?

Every word is editable. Rewrite a sentence by hand or ask the Letter agent to change it, and Pithy keeps your version history either way.

Which template should I pick?

Classic suits most first applications. Use Short for job boards, Career change when you are switching fields, and Referral when someone inside sent you.

How do I cancel Pro?

In Settings, open Plan and press Cancel. You keep Pro until the end of the billing period, and your letters stay in your account on the free plan.
