Is Simplify legit? What its own terms say (2026)
Simplify is run by Simplify Jobs Inc., a San Francisco company, and it publishes prices, a refund policy and plain help articles. Its free Copilot extension fills in application forms and leaves submitting to you. Its paid Autopilot, on Simplify+ ($39.99 a month), submits up to 20 applications a week with no review step. Payments are final except an unintended renewal reported within 24 hours.

Who runs Simplify?
How much does Simplify cost, and can you get a refund?
- Plans
-
Copilot autofill, Resume Builder, Job Tracker and Gmail integration are free. Simplify+ costs $19.99 a week, $39.99 a month, or $89.99 every three months, and includes 20 Autopilot credits a week. One credit is used per submitted application; failed runs use none.[18]
- Refund
-
Payments are non-refundable once access begins. An unintended renewal on a web purchase can get a pro-rated refund if you contact support within 24 hours. Dissatisfaction with AI output, or not getting interviews, does not qualify. App Store purchases are refunded by Apple.[17]
- Renewal
-
Simplify+ renews at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You can cancel in account settings and keep access until the period ends.[15]
What does Simplify ask you to hand over?
- Browser extension
-
The extension reads job postings you view and the application forms you fill, including the values it fills for you, and stores a local copy of your profile and resume.[16]
- Sign-in
-
Social sign-in through Google, LinkedIn or Apple shares profile details such as name and email. The privacy policy does not mention job-site passwords.[16]
-
If you connect Gmail, it stores message metadata and short previews, not full emails or attachments. Autopilot uses an email proxy for verification codes.[16][19]
- Sharing
-
Does not sell personal information for money. Shares cookie and hashed identifiers with ad platforms such as Google and Meta, which some US laws treat as a sale; you can opt out. It says it never shares your resume or application answers with ad platforms.[16]
Does Simplify submit applications without you?
- Free Copilot
-
Fills supported application fields. You review the form and submit it yourself.[18]
- Autopilot
-
Fills out and submits supported postings for you, with an optional tailored resume and a cover letter where the form needs one. The help center is direct about review.[19]
fills out and submits it without a review step
- When it cannot answer
-
The run fails rather than submitting, and you finish the form with Copilot. Failed runs do not use a credit.[19]
What else do Simplify's terms say?
Where can you read complaints about Simplify?
We do not quote star ratings, because a score changes daily and we cannot check how reviews were gathered. Read the complaints yourself and look for repeats: refunds refused, renewals after cancelling, accounts restricted on a job site.
- Simplify on Trustpilot, the review page we confirmed exists on November 8, 2026.
- Search the Better Business Bureau for Simplify. We link the search, not a profile, because we did not confirm which BBB listing belongs to which company.
- Your bank or card issuer. If a charge is wrong and the company will not fix it, a dispute through your card issuer is the standard route.
