DonutApply
You want openings straight from the companies, every form filled for you to check, a resume tailored in your own Word file, and nothing sent without you.
Compare
DonutApply vs Simplify and Jobright
Three ways to get through job applications faster. They differ most in where the jobs come from, which forms they fill, and whether anything is submitted without you.
Side by side
| Feature | DonutApply | Simplify | Jobright |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the jobs come from | Employers' own careers sites, never an open job board; each posting links to the company's own apply page | Its own job board, "Matches"; its sources are not stated | Aggregated from job boards and career pages |
| Fills applications on | Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS and most others | Workday, Lever, Greenhouse and other job sites | "Major ATS platforms" (not named) |
| Who presses Submit | Always you; it never submits | You, with the free extension; Simplify+ Autopilot submits for you, up to 20 a week | You, with autofill; a paid Agent is offered for auto-apply |
| Resume tailoring | Per job, inside your own Word file so the layout survives; every change explained; scored against the posting's key terms | Simplify+ writes role-specific versions and suggests missing keywords | Resume AI tailors a resume per job |
| Application tracker | Saved through offer on one board, with interviews, notes and to-dos on each job's timeline | Yes, with referrals and interview notes | Yes |
| Ghost and stale jobs | Re-checked on the employer's site, most every day; removed once closed there or not found for 10 days; postings reposted again and again are flagged | Not stated | Says it shows no fake listings |
| Referrals | Contacts and referrals tied to your jobs, who to ask at each company, drafted messages you send yourself | Referral paths through your network | Finds alumni, former colleagues and hiring managers |
| Interview practice | Mock interviews by voice or text for each round, scored answer by answer | Not stated | Interview guidance from its AI copilot, Orion |
| Your own AI | Claude Code through MCP, on your own subscription; the extension can use your own Claude Code or Codex | Not stated | Not stated |
As of October 2026, from each product's own site, help pages and Chrome Web Store listing. "Not stated" means we found nothing about it there, not that it is missing.
Which one fits
Simplify
You want a widely used autofill extension, or you want applications submitted for you with Simplify+ Autopilot.
Jobright
You want one feed that pulls in the big job boards alongside career pages, with an AI copilot to chat with.
Questions
Is DonutApply an alternative to Simplify?
Yes. Both fill job applications from your profile with a Chrome extension and track what you applied to. DonutApply also lists open US postings with ghost jobs flagged, tailors your resume inside your own Word file, and never submits an application for you; Simplify+ offers Autopilot, which submits applications for you, up to 20 a week.
Does DonutApply auto-apply to jobs?
No. It fills the form, attaches your resume and shows where every answer came from, and you press Submit. It can open a whole shortlist of applications at once so the filling goes quickly, but it never submits one.
How is DonutApply different from Jobright?
Jobright aggregates postings from job boards and career pages, and offers autofill, resume tailoring, a tracker and an AI copilot. DonutApply links every posting to the company's own apply page, flags likely ghost jobs, keeps your resume's own Word layout when it tailors, and works with your own Claude Code through MCP.
