# Reactive Resume vs Novorésumé

> Compare Reactive Resume and Novorésumé by free document limits, templates, guided writing, AI, exports, and self-hosting.

Novorésumé is the stronger choice when guided design, writing advice, a content library, and its built-in assistant carry most of the drafting. Reactive Resume lets you keep several saved resume versions, without the Basic plan's document and page limits.

## Quick comparison

| Consideration | Reactive Resume | Novorésumé |
| - | - | - |
| Saved resumes | Unlimited resumes and cover letters | Basic permits one document |
| Document length | As many pages as your content requires | Basic permits one page; Premium permits longer documents |
| Drafting support | Direct editing, Check mode, and an optional AI assistant using your own provider | Guided design, writing advice, content library, and integrated assistant |
| Exports | PDF, Word (DOCX), Markdown, and JSON | See Novorésumé plan and export options |

Novorésumé's current Basic plan permits exactly one document, capped at one page. Its Premium plan lists 72 documents and documents up to 10 pages. The product also documents templates, a content library, real-time advice, and an integrated assistant.

Reactive Resume keeps your resumes and cover letters on its [Documents page](/guides/managing-documents), offers 17 templates, and supports [PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and JSON exports](/guides/exporting-your-resume). Its source is public under the [MIT license](/legal/license), and it runs with Docker.

## Where Novorésumé is a better fit

Choose Novorésumé when its guided design, writing advice, content library, and integrated assistant are worth more to you than managing several versions in one system. Premium also fits when its larger document count and longer documents match what you need.

## Where Reactive Resume is a better fit

Pick Reactive Resume to manage several saved resumes and export them as PDF, DOCX, Markdown, or JSON. You can also self-host it; see the [Docker guide](/self-hosting/docker).

## Which should you choose?

Choose Novorésumé when its guided drafting tools come first and its Basic or Premium document limits fit your workflow. Choose Reactive Resume when you want several resume versions and designed exports without moving to a premium plan.

## Reactive Resume limitations in this comparison

Reactive Resume has a smaller guidance and content surface. It has no equivalent to Novorésumé's content library or guided drafting workflow, and its AI assistant works only after you connect your own provider.
