Terms of service
Last updated:
These terms are the agreement between you and Otto Sensei when you use this site. By using it, you agree to them. We kept them short and plain on purpose.
The service
Otto Sensei lets you check, edit and tailor your resume and download it as a PDF. We provide it as is. We work hard to keep it accurate and online, but we can't promise it will always be error-free or available.
Otto's checks and suggestions are guidance, not a guarantee. Hiring software differs between employers, and no tool can promise you an interview or a job. You decide what goes on your resume, so read every suggestion before you keep it.
Your account
You sign in with a code sent to your email. Keep your email account secure, since anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You must be at least 16 to use Otto Sensei.
Your content is yours
Your resumes and anything you write or upload stay yours. You give us permission to store and process them only to run the service for you, for example to check a file, back up your resumes, or send text to our AI provider when you ask Otto for help. Our privacy policy explains how.
Only upload content you have the right to use.
Don't misuse it
- Don't try to break, overload or get around the service or its limits, for example with scripts, bots or many accounts.
- Don't copy, resell or scrape the service.
- Don't upload anything illegal, harmful, or someone else's private data.
- Don't use it to pretend to be someone else.
We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules.
Plans and their limits
Free includes the basic reader for uploads, the recruiter view, editing by hand, 1 resume, the Classic and Compact formats, PDF downloads, the 5 closest job matches and one tracked application with its reminder. Otto's AI help (line fixes, summaries, tailoring, letters, answers, interview prep, Build with Otto, GitHub drafts and AI reading of uploads), the other formats, up to 50 resumes, Word downloads, every job match with filters and saved jobs, tracking more than one application, share links, the work-rights check and portfolios come with Pro and Max. If a paid plan ends, nothing you made is deleted: you can still open, edit and download it, and links you shared stay up, but you can't add more until you upgrade again.
Pro and Max have a limit for each thing Otto does with AI. On monthly and yearly plans the limits are per month and reset on the 1st of each month (UTC). Weekly plans have smaller limits per billing week, the 7 days up to each renewal. The Pro trial has its own smaller limits for the whole trial. Unused ones don't carry over. Invite extras add to the current month, week or trial, on Pro and Max.
| Each month | Pro | Max | Pro trial, in total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tailored versions | 60 | 200 | 10 |
| Cover letters, answers and interview prep | 100 | 300 | 15 |
| Line fixes | 300 | 1,000 | 50 |
| AI reads of an uploaded resume | 30 | 100 | 5 |
| Build with Otto drafts | 20 | 60 | 3 |
| GitHub project drafts | 20 | 60 | 3 |
| Each week, on weekly plans | Pro | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Tailored versions | 15 | 50 |
| Cover letters, answers and interview prep | 25 | 75 |
| Line fixes | 75 | 250 |
| AI reads of an uploaded resume | 8 | 25 |
| Build with Otto drafts | 5 | 15 |
| GitHub project drafts | 5 | 15 |
At a limit that feature pauses until the 1st (on a weekly plan, until your next renewal; on the trial, until Pro starts), or until you move to a bigger plan. Switching between weekly and monthly billing doesn't reset either limit: what you use on a weekly plan also counts toward that month, and a week keeps its count until its 7 days are up. Uploads never stop: past the AI reads, the basic reader reads your file instead. Editing, recruiter checks and PDF downloads have no limit on any plan.
Payments and cancelling
- Pro costs $15 a month, $120 a year or $6 a week. Max costs $29 a month, $232 a year or $12 a week. Prices are in US dollars, plus any taxes where you live. Only the options shown on the pricing page are on sale.
- New accounts can try Pro free for 3 days, once per person. You add a card at checkout and nothing is charged during the trial. When it ends, Pro starts at $15 a month unless you cancel before then. During the trial a portfolio can be built and previewed, but it goes public only on a paid plan.
- Payments are processed by Creem, our merchant of record, and their checkout terms apply to the purchase.
- A paid plan renews every period you picked until you cancel. Cancel anytime from your account page, and you keep it until the end of the period you paid for. Moving between Pro and Max changes your subscription in place, with the difference charged or refunded. If you drop to Free, your published portfolio goes offline, and its data is kept in case you come back.
- Prices and limits may change. If your plan's price or limits change, we'll email you before the change applies to you, so you can cancel first if you prefer.
- Refunds are covered by our refund policy.
Ending things
You can stop using Otto Sensei and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and we'll tell you why when we can. We may also change or stop parts of the service over time.
Limits on our liability
As far as the law allows, Otto Sensei isn't liable for indirect losses, such as a missed job opportunity or lost income. Our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws where you live.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the date at the top, and for important changes we'll email signed-in users before they take effect. Using Otto Sensei after a change means you accept the new terms.
