The best AI cover letter tools (2026)
We ran 12 tools through a real job. Only two actually generate a letter with no account and no card — and they could not be more different. Scores below follow our four-dimension method; anything we could not test end to end gets no score, only a status.
The ranked tools
CoverCraft
8.8 / 10 · ScoredFree 1 scored letter/day, no sign-up. Fact-checked output, reads the JD, flags unsourced company claims. Our own product — disclosed in the review.
FreeToolr
4.0 / 10 · ScoredFree, unlimited, instant — but invented the candidate's experience ("5 years") and data ("25%"), and never read the job description.
