When Simplify is the better choice
- You want a free job tracker that saves every application automatically.
- You apply mostly on sites Simplify lists and OhApply doesn't yet, like iCIMS, Taleo or Avature.
- You're happy to let AI write answers to new questions for you.
When OhApply fits better
- You want to read the code. OhApply is open source.
- You want it to ask, not guess, when a required answer isn't in your profile.
- You apply on SEEK, or on Workday sites that need a new account each time.
- You want job-site passwords kept only on your computer.
How switching works
Add OhApply to Chrome
It's free. Turn Simplify off while you try it, so two tools don't fill the same form.
Upload your resume
OhApply builds your profile from it. It only uses what's in your resume and your answers.
Open an application
OhApply fills it, asks about anything missing, and stops before Submit.
Questions
Is Simplify Jobs free?
Simplify says its autofill, application tracker, job matches and basic resume builder are free for everyone. Checked October 2026 on simplify.jobs/copilot.
Does Simplify Copilot submit applications for me?
No. Simplify's help center says you still review the form and click the final Submit button. OhApply works the same way.
What is the main difference between Simplify and OhApply?
Both fill forms and leave Submit to you. OhApply is open source, stops to ask when a required answer isn't in your profile, and keeps job-site passwords on your device. Simplify supports more sites and includes a job tracker.
Can I use both?
Yes. They are separate Chrome extensions. To avoid two tools filling the same form, turn one off while you try the other.
Is OhApply free?
Yes. The free plan autofills 20 applications a day. Pro is $12 a month if you need more.
