The 6 Best AI Cover Letter Generators Tested and Compared for 2024

Content Improver — If you’ve already written your cover letter, you can use this tool to generate a snappier opening line or simply rearrange the sentence structure for better flow.

AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action) — If you want to structure your cover letter like a marketing pitch, use this template to start with an attention-grabbing opener.

Brand Voice — If you’re worried that using AI may make you sound robotic, you can train Jasper AI to use your unique tone of voice, or the tone of voice of the company you’re applying for, so that your cover letter sounds like you.

Jasper AI offers three paid plans, but it doesn’t have a free plan. It only offers a 7-day free trial to test out the Creator or Pro plans. Here’s an overview of your options:

• Creator — 1 user, 1 brand voice, SEO mode, and a Google Chrome browser extension.
• Pro — 6 seats, 3 brand voices, 10 knowledge assets, 3 instant campaigns, and access to Jasper Art.
• Business — Unlimited feature access, performance analytics, enterprise-level security, API access, a dedicated account manager, and custom style guides.

Jasper AI is the cover letter writing tool for you if you want to ensure that your cover letter is well-written and free from mistakes.

Thanks to its high-quality writing skills, you’ll be able to create cover letters that you don’t have to edit as much as you would with tools like Rytr or Word AI.

However, it’s a little pricier than these tools, so you’ll need to make use of the free trial period if you want to generate a cover letter for free.

• Writing from Job Description — Rytr offers a cover letter-specific setting, allowing you to input the job description along with relevant job skills to inform the creation of your cover letter.
• 20+ Tones — From “joyful,” “funny,” and “convincing” to “humble,” “professional,” and “earnest,” there are plenty of tones of voice to choose from to make the letter your own.
• Creativity — You can set the creativity level of the cover letter you’re designing. At the highest level of creativity, the cover letter will be less factual and more attention-grabbing, while a lower creativity setting will generate more factual and professional results.

Rytr is one of the few AI paraphrasers to offer a free forever plan in addition to its two paid subscription tiers.

• Free — 10,000 characters, no plagiarism checks or tone matching, 1 language.
• Unlimited — Unlimited AI content generation, 1 tone match, 50 plagiarism checks/month, 1 language, priority support.
• Premium — Unlimited AI content generation, multiple tone matches, 100 plagiarism checks/month, 35+ languages/month, priority support, custom use cases.

All tiers provide access to the Chrome extension, 20+ pre-programmed tones, and an exclusive community of Rytr users.

Rytr offers the most affordable pricing on our shortlist. It also has a fantastic free plan that allows you to generate up to 10,000 characters a month, 40+ use cases, 30+ languages, 20+ tones, and a built-in plagiarism checker to ensure your cover letter stands out as unique.

Rytr also offers a free AI image generator that lets you generate up to five images per month. Its affordability makes it a great option for creating a compelling cover letter without breaking the bank.

• Keyword Planner — This tool can help you use keywords and phrasing related to the specific skills, experience, and qualifications that a hiring manager may be looking for.
• Cruise Mode — If you don’t know where to start with your cover letter, or you’re in a time crunch, use Cruise Mode to benefit from Scalenut’s automated AI writing suggestions that are informed by keyword research.
• Content Optimizer — If your cover letter is already written but needs to be tweaked, you can run it through Scalenut’s Content Optimizer to improve its relevancy. You’ll also be given suggestions for improvement.

Scalenut offers four pricing plans. While it doesn’t offer a free plan, you do get a 7-day free trial:

• Essential —100,000 words, 5 SEO articles/month, SEO templates, AI images, factual content.
• Growth — Unlimited words, 30 SEO articles per month, audit and optimize 30 articles per month, 60 KW clusters/month, analyze 200 webpages per month on one domain.

• Enterprise — Custom limit on SEO articles, unlimited webpage analysis, advanced AI models, enterprise-level security, tailored onboarding.

While Scalenut lacks a dedicated cover letter template, making it less ideal for drafting your letter from the ground up, it is a useful tool to for optimizing an existing letter and generating quick cold emails.

As with Jasper AI, you will need to take advantage of Scalenut’s 7-day trial period to generate a free cover letter. That said, it is one of the best AI writing tools for SEO research and keyword optimization in your work.

This expertise, while not immediately linked to cover letter creation, comes in handy when navigating the application processes at large corporations. There, your challenge is twofold: captivating the hiring manager and succeeding in automated screening procedures.

• 100+ Templates — Simplified offers a wide range of templates, which is especially useful when creating a cover letter and you have no idea where to start.
• AI Summarizer — If you need to shorten your cover letter, you can use Simplified to remove unnecessary lines.
• AI Chat — If you’re used to working in a ChatGPT-style Q&A format, Simplified also offers a chatbot that can act as a writing assistant. I found that this tool could provide research or improvements to a cover letter.

In addition to offering one of the best free AI cover letter generator plans, it has three paid plans to choose from:

• Free — Unlimited design products, 1,000+ fonts, 1,000+ templates, over a million photos and icons, 5GB storage.

I liked how easy Simplified was to use, thanks to the fact that you can choose to work in a chatbot style or with one of the numerous templates.

Just like Rytr, Simplified AI also offers a free plan that comes with 2,000 free words, and you can purchase additional credits when needed. These factors make Simplified an accessible option for anyone working on an AI-generated cover letter, even those with little experience with AI tools.

Simplified also offers design, video, and social media management tools, which can be useful additions to your toolkit if you land the job, especially if it’s in content creation.

• Avoid AI Detection — Word AI humanizes your content to help you bypass AI detectors or rewriter detectors like Copyscape.
• Rewrite Text — All it takes is one click to jazz up a boring, generic cover letter.
• Create Multiple Versions — If you want to create variations of the same cover letter to diversify your applications for different positions, you can also use Word AI to create multiple versions.

WordAI offers 3 pricing plans. Below, I’ve outlined what each one offers:

• Starter — 50,000 rewrite words and 25,000 pass AI detection words per month
• Power — 3 million rewrite words and 250,000 pass AI detection words per month
• Enterprise — Custom rewrite words and pass AI detection words, white labeled integration, multiple user accounts, a dedicated account manager.

Word AI does not offer a free plan, but you can try it for free for three days. It also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with the product.

Word AI is great if you have an existing first draft that you’d like to improve on or if you want to create multiple versions.

If you have any lingering doubts about working with AI to help you in your cover letter writing process, Word AI is the tool for you.

One of the biggest pluses of WordAI is to help you pass AI screening. It has compiled a comparison of the test results of text written by them and texts written by other tools like ChatGPT or Writesonic. In each case, WordAI was the only tool to pass all tests.

• Multiple Languages — Copy.ai supports 95+ languages, so it can be the ideal tool if you’re wanting to apply for jobs abroad.

CopyAI offers three pricing plans, including a free option. Here’s a breakdown of each one:

• Free — 1 seat, 2,000 words in chat, 200 bonus credits.
