Our Verdict

Resume.io is great for building a base resume. HireSprint is what you use to win jobs.

Resume.io is cheaper for what it does — but it only builds a static document. The ROI on HireSprint is different: every tailored application is measurably better. If you spend 30 minutes tailoring a resume manually, HireSprint saves you 29 of those minutes and produces a better result. The question isn't which is cheaper — it's which one gets you hired faster.
