Ravina vs Teal
Teal is a job-search organiser with a resume builder; Ravina is an ATS checker with interview and offer tools. They overlap less than the category names suggest.

When to choose the alternative
- You are running a high-volume search and need to track dozens of applications with a clipper and kanban.
- You want a polished template builder and are fine with AI on a credit allowance.
- You want a company behind the product, not a solo developer.
When to choose RYUN
- Your bottleneck is parse quality and interview readiness rather than organisation.
- You want unmetered AI usage on your own key.
- You want offer comparison in the same tool.
Different centres of gravity
Teal's product is the tracker. Its extension clips a posting from any job board into a pipeline, and the resume builder hangs off that pipeline so you can tailor a resume per saved job. It is well-designed for someone applying to many roles and needing to keep them straight.
Ravina's product is the check. It assumes you have a posting and a resume and asks whether the resume will survive a parser and whether it uses the posting's vocabulary. Around that it adds the two stages Teal does not cover in depth: practising the behavioral interview, and comparing offers when they arrive.
AI credits versus your own key
Teal includes AI features on its paid plan via a credit allowance. Ravina asks you to connect a provider key and bills nothing on top; the provider charges per token, which for resume work amounts to cents. Neither is universally better: credits are simpler, while BYOK is cheaper for heavy use and lets you pick the model. See the token cost guide for the arithmetic.
Frequently asked questions
Can Ravina clip jobs from LinkedIn or Indeed?
No. There is no browser extension; you paste the posting text.
Does Ravina have resume templates?
It has a single-column, ATS-safe layout with limited styling by design. If you want visual templates, Teal or a design tool is the better choice; just check the export with the ATS checker afterwards.
