// COMPARISON
Open Applier vs. LazyApply
LazyApply is a volume-first auto-apply Chrome extension; Open Applier is review-first.
Both tools live inside your browser and automate job applications. LazyApply optimises for raw volume and runs without review gates; Open Applier pauses for explicit approval on every submission and focuses on tailored artifacts over blast volume.

// OUR CASE
Where Open Applier wins
- No daily quota — apply as much as you want on Pro vs. LazyApply's 15/day floor
- Pay $5/mo and stop any time — no annual lock-in
- Review gate prevents accidental submissions to wrong roles
- Deep Workday / Greenhouse / Lever integrations vs. general aggregator coverage
// THE HONEST BIT
Trade-offs we won’t hide
- No native LinkedIn or Indeed integration today
- Smaller total job source list
When LazyApply is the better pick
Choose LazyApply if you optimise for raw LinkedIn/Indeed volume and want fully autonomous submissions. Choose Open Applier if you apply through employer career pages (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) and want tailored artifacts with a review step.
