What it costs, and what every part of it actually does
Everything below marked free is free, and stays free. One tier is open: Hunt, $99 a year, and it renews until you cancel. Anything tagged “not built yet” is exactly that — it is listed so you can see where this is going, not so you can be charged for it.

Alerts are live, and they are free

You don't have to wait for this bit, and you don't have to pay for it. Save any search — a role, a city, a salary floor, a company — and your phone tells you the morning something opens. Set one up now. What the waitlist is for is the paid tier: the archive behind the site, and how long a job has really been open. One email on the day that opens, and nothing before it.

No account and no password. One email when it opens, and nothing else — the address is used for that and is never sold or passed on. See the privacy policy.

Hunt open

For the eight weeks you are actually looking. Priced for the whole hunt, not per month, because that's how a job search works.
$99 / year
  • Unlimited Prepare application packs — their pay band, the market rate, a salary anchor, a cover-letter draft with your own achievement line, and interview questions written for that specific role works today
  • The full negotiation report — free shows you what the posting and the company pay. This adds the leg you can't work out on your own: what the rest of the market pays for the same role, the gap, and the number to actually ask for works today
  • The full history on a company — what they've posted, pulled and reposted, and what their pay has done, back to the day we started watching. Today's numbers are free; what they were last month is the part only an archive can answer not built yet
  • Sub-hour polling on your watchlist — everyone else's jobs are checked once a day. Yours get checked all day not built yet
  • Reposted how many times — a role advertised four times in eighteen months is telling you something about the job that the posting never will not built yet
  • Everything in Free, including alerts — those are free for everybody and are not going behind this
Subscribe — $99 / year

$99 billed once, then $99 every year until you cancel. Cancel any time from the link in your receipt and you keep everything until the year you have paid for runs out. We email you before every renewal. Full refund within 14 days, any reason.

Watch not open yet

For when you are not looking — which is most of the time, and when the useful information actually arrives.
$6 / month
  • A quiet monthly note on your dream companies: who they're hiring, what they're paying now not built yet
  • Tell you when roles like yours start paying more — which is the conversation you have with your own manager not built yet
  • Salary band drift — “this role paid 12% more in March”. Needs a year of daily snapshots and we started keeping them, so this one arrives with time rather than with code not built yet
  • Layoff early warning — when a company quietly pulls thirty open roles, weeks before anything is announced not built yet
  • Revolving door — roles reposted four times in eighteen months, which tells you something the posting never will not built yet
  • Everything in Free

Prices are what FirstIn intends to charge, in US dollars, once payments exist. They may change before then, and nothing here is an offer to sell.

Waitlist

One email on the day the paid tiers go live. Nothing before it. Alerts are already live and already free — you do not need this for those.

No account and no password. One email when it opens, and nothing else — the address is used for that and is never sold or passed on. See the privacy policy.

What each part actually does

The search live

Every job here was read from the company's own job board — Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby — not from another job site. That's why every posting has an exact publish time, so "posted today" is a fact rather than a guess, and why you see roles before aggregators index them.

The salary figures live

These are the ranges employers published themselves, pulled from the posting. They are not estimates, not crowd-sourced, and not converted between currencies — a figure is shown in the currency it was published in. Roughly half of all postings carry one; the rest genuinely don't say. We refuse anything we can't stand behind, including hourly rates dressed up as salaries.

The negotiation report first two legs free

Three numbers on one page: what this posting pays, what this company pays across its other roles, and what the rest of the market pays for the same role. The first two are free. The third is the one you cannot work out on your own — it needs every other company's published pay for the same job — and it, the gap, and the figure to ask for are what the Hunt tier is. Every input was published by an employer, and when two of the figures are in different currencies we show no gap at all rather than a confident wrong percentage.

Your career file live

Every role you applied for, with the pay band as it stood the day you applied — postings get edited and deleted, so that number disappears otherwise and it's the one you'd negotiate against. Plus the letter you sent, the questions they asked, and where each application got to. It lives in your browser, not on a server, and one click exports a real file you keep. Importing merges rather than overwrites, so restoring a backup can't lose the entries you added since.

Your resume live

Read and scored entirely inside your browser. It is never uploaded — there is no server that could receive it. That gets you a match score on every role, and a cover letter that already contains your name and your own strongest achievement line. The gaps left in square brackets are the parts only you can write, and they're left blank on purpose.

The archive live

Job posts get deleted, and nobody keeps them. FirstIn records every posting from every company it tracks, every day. That's what the company pages are built from, and over time it answers the questions no job board can: which roles get reposted again and again, whose pay quietly dropped, and who pulled a lot of openings at once.

What FirstIn deliberately does not do policy

It will never submit an application for you. Greenhouse, Lever and Workday all run bot and velocity filters, and applications that arrive too fast and too uniformly get flagged before a person reads them — so the tools that "apply to 300 jobs for you" are actively working against the people paying for them. Everything up to the submit button is automated here. The last keystroke stays yours, and that is what keeps you out of the filter.

Questions you'd reasonably ask

Where exactly is the line between free and paid?

Finding the job is free. Acting on it is what costs. Every posting, every filter, every published salary figure, your resume matching, your saved jobs and your career file stay free and always will — nothing that is free today gets taken away later. What the Hunt tier sells is the work on top: the application pack written for one specific role, the market-wide pay comparison, and the history that only exists because we have been recording it every day.

Why is the paid tier annual?

Because a job hunt is about eight weeks, and billing monthly would mean charging you in month three for something you stopped needing in month two. One price for the whole hunt is the honest shape.

Why would I pay when I'm not job hunting?

You probably wouldn't pay $99. That's the point of the $6 tier — it exists so that the day something better than your current job appears, you hear about it, and so you know when roles like yours start paying more than you're on.

Do you sell my data?

No, and there is very little to sell. No tracking, no advertising, and your resume never leaves your device — it is read by JavaScript in your own browser and is never uploaded anywhere. If you make an account we hold your email address and nothing else, and we never ask for a password. See the privacy policy — it's short.

How many companies do you cover?

960 today, and it grows every morning. Coverage is deliberately deep rather than wide: every company here is read from its own job board, which is what makes the publish times and the salary figures trustworthy.
