Hyrenora vs Simplify
Simplify built a great autofill extension and then charged $39.99/month for it with no free trial. Hyrenora's extension is free — unlimited autofill on Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Taleo, SAP, and SmartRecruiters. The full platform including ATS scoring, resume builder, and cover letters is $14.99/month.

- Free extension — unlimited autofill on all major ATS with no paid subscription required
- ATS keyword scoring against the specific job description — Simplify has no ATS scoring

- AI cover letter generator
- Team and university accounts
- $14.99/mo full platform vs $39.99/mo (Simplify has no annual discount at lower tiers)

Bottom Line
Simplify has 1M+ Chrome installs and a 4.9-star rating — the autofill works well. But $39.99/month with no trial is steep for what is primarily an autofill tool with a thin resume builder attached. Hyrenora's extension is free for unlimited autofill across all major ATS platforms, and the paid tier ($14.99/month) adds ATS scoring, AI auto-tailor, cover letters, and a ghost job detector that Simplify does not have. If you want autofill only, start with Hyrenora's free extension. If you want the full job search OS, upgrade at less than half Simplify's price.
