FAQ
The basics
What is Applybound?
Applybound is a team of eight AI agents that runs your job search: it finds roles, tailors your CV and letters, applies through the lanes you allow, handles recruiter replies, books interviews and explains offers. You approve what goes out.
Will it invent experience to match a posting?
No. Every employer, title, date, degree, certificate and number in a CV variant or letter must trace back to your own profile. A truth gate removes anything that does not, and gaps are stated honestly rather than hidden.
Will the team negotiate salary or accept an offer for me?
Never. Anything that mentions pay, every offer and every acceptance, decline or withdrawal is a proposal for you to decide. The offer advisor explains and drafts; you send.
Do I have to approve every application?
By default, yes — applying is a proposal. You can turn on autopilot for specific lanes, and change that at any time.
Which languages are supported?
The site and app are available in English and Simplified Chinese. CVs and letters can be written in the language of the posting.
Applying & automation
How does an application actually get sent?
Through one of three lanes: an official API where the platform offers one; your own consented browser session on sites such as LinkedIn or Indeed; or a hand-off card with everything pre-filled that you submit yourself.
Is automating LinkedIn or Indeed allowed?
Those platforms’ terms restrict automated access, and accounts can be limited or restricted. Browser automation is off until you consent per platform, and you can switch any platform to hand-off cards. Read the automation & risk disclosure before enabling it.
What happens when a site shows a check only I can pass?
The account operator pauses and hands you live control of the session. One-time codes are never stored.
Why might a matched job not get an application?
Common reasons: it falls below your salary floor, it is on your exclusion list, you applied recently and the cooldown applies, the pack failed the truth gate, or the day’s credit budget was reached.
Truth, privacy & security
Does Applybound store my passwords?
Platform sessions are stored encrypted so the operator can work in your browser session; one-time codes are never stored. You can disconnect any platform and delete its session at any time.
Who can see my data?
Your profile, matches and messages are isolated to your workspace. We do not sell personal data or use it to train public models. See the privacy policy for details.
Can I export or delete everything?
Yes. Export your profile and CV variants at any time, and delete your account from Settings — your workspace data is erased.
Credits & billing
What is a credit?
Credits measure the work the team does. 1 credit equals $0.01 of metered usage — AI work plus supplier items such as browser minutes, CAPTCHA solving, phone numbers and proxies.
How many credits do I get?
Free includes 1,500 credits a month, Pro 6,000 and Max 20,000. Packs add 2,000, 7,000 or 20,000 credits that never expire.
Can I bring my own AI key?
Yes. With your own key, AI work costs 0 credits; supplier items are still charged.
