Jobscan alternative · UK
Jobscan tells you why your CV didn't pass the ATS. Flint tells you which UK jobs it will.
Jobscan is an ATS keyword checker — you paste one job, it rewrites your CV to pass the filter. Flint is a job matcher — you upload your CV once, we score every UK role across 100+ boards against it. Different jobs, different tools.
£7.99/mo. Jobscan Premium is $49.95/mo. Here's when Flint is the better pick — and when it isn't.
Two different products, two different prices
Jobscan Premium
$49.95/mo
ATS keyword matching, CV rewriting, per-job scoring. US-first; UK salary data is generic.
Flint Pro
£7.99/mo
100+ UK boards scored against your CV, transparent 6-dim breakdown, cover letters, CV review, salary percentiles per job.
Different products, both useful. Flint is a quarter the price if your job search is UK-focused.
What you get for the money
Jobscan checks one CV against one JD you paste in. Flint scores your CV against every UK job it can find. Neither replaces the other cleanly.

When Jobscan is still the right pick
Honestly: we're not trying to replace Jobscan for everyone. There are searches where it's the better product.
- You've already picked a specific role and want your CV rewritten to beat its ATS filter.
- You're primarily targeting US roles (Jobscan's data is US-heavy).
- You want keyword-level ATS match feedback, not a job-matcher.
- You're ready to rewrite your CV for each individual application.
When Flint is the better pick
- You're in the UK and haven't yet found the right role to apply to.
- You want every UK role scored against your CV, not scored one-at-a-time.
- You care about salary transparency and sector coverage (healthcare, teaching, legal, science, tech).
- You want cover letters and CV review without paying extra.
- You want £7.99/mo not £40/mo.
Why I built this
I spent an hour rewriting my CV for a job I wasn't going to get anyway.
I used Jobscan for one job search. It told me my CV was missing 14 keywords for a role I scored 45% against. I rewrote it carefully. I applied. I heard nothing. I'd optimised the wrong CV for the wrong job.
That's the ATS-matching trap — spending an hour rewriting for a role you aren't a fit for in the first place. Flint flips it: tell me which UK jobs actually fit my CV first, then I'll spend the hour rewriting for the one that scored 80%.
