Is LazyApply actually worth paying $129 for (premium plan)? Is $99 the deal to go with?

@al I'm asking because many reviews on TrustPilot and Google say it's a trash product that doesn't work, but I've seen people on here say it's good.
Could it be because it does a good job when applying for software jobs (hence why it is rated highly in this discord group) but not other, more general jobs like sales/marketing?

sample size is larger on this server for software based roles, but some have landed PM
anecdotal feedback's always going to be biased
national-gold•9mo ago
@al Fair. Follow-up: Is the $99 version good enough in your opinion? Or is the $129 version a must?
optimistic-gold•9mo ago
Personally at a $30 difference, might as well go for the premium. If you sign up, I'd be interested in your retro lol

0 return on it for me

I have better return as I asked an LLM to give me a list of jobs for it NOT to apply to, like Clinical Director, etc. I just have that filter set saved and it sprays and I pray. 😆

How often does it get you interviews tho
fascinating-indigo•8mo ago
About as often as most job applications, and that means not much in this market

I would not pay 130 USD for a tool that barely works. I’m getting mixed signals as to whether this thing is worth the money tbh
optimistic-gold•8mo ago
Whats the worst that's going to happen, you lose $130? I guess if you think the cost outweights the potential benefit, don't pay for the service

Echoing some other folks who said they didn’t get anything out of it; also just a heads up LI gave me a warning about using automation tools to apply to easy apply roles. The tool itself doesn’t do anything to mask itself (doesn’t even seem to randomly add time.sleep between apps).
optimistic-gold•8mo ago
if you haven't already, you should ask for your money back (unless you had it for more than the 30-day warranty period)
sensitive-blue•8mo ago
Yeah it’s way past that lol; it’s ok was worth a shot
ambitious-aqua•8mo ago
It 100% works, that’s how I landed J3
I have the 750/day package
That being said they slowed it down a lot recently to circumvent bot detection but it’s still functional

I just got on it yesterday, I like the idea of it being able to pump out more submissions than I could if I was brute forcing apps. Also I can play rocket league uninterrupted with this running in the background. Worth every penny so far.

It just leaves blanks though
How many yoe?
0
How many years doing React?
0
Lol
It's so bad
optimistic-gold•8mo ago
If you land something the errors are easy to explain away. Your odds are just better getting more apps out there
harsh-harlequin•8mo ago
Ahh okay
But I feel like if you out 0
You are ignored
optimistic-gold•8mo ago
Yeah you could be, but nothings a sure thing.
I think part of the reason it has good reviews in the OE community is that people here have the time and flexibility to just keep applying until something lands. Whereas if the typical monojobber is using it, maybe it's not good enough.
harsh-harlequin•8mo ago
Ahh I see
optimistic-gold•8mo ago
I agree that it fills stuff out wrong plenty, and people on this server also have poor response rates from it. Personally though my experience has been worth
genetic-orange•8mo ago
When you load up your resume. It will parse skills out from the resume. Go back and add more years of experience to those categories. Also set a default number yoe for skills asked for thats not in the stuff parsed from the resume.
harsh-harlequin•8mo ago
I thought i did maybe i did it wrong
I never set a default
woops
lol

I've been using lazyapply for 5 months. It's decent for dice, ziprecruiter and thats it. Indeed doesnt work. I wouldnt even try linkedin unless you want your LI to get banned for botting.
I do get leads / interviews from it, but they are hella slow at fixing it and keeping it updated
sensitive-blue•8mo ago
So Indeed does work. It wasn't working for me originally, but it turns out the issue was that Indeed had recently migrated to Cloudflare, which was blocking LazyApply after it finished scanning for jobs. You have to manually click the "I am not a robot" checkbox when blocked, and then it'll keep going. For LI, I did receive a botting warning message last year but that was it. I've recently started botting LI again for the past couple of weeks and nothing yet. I'll prolly continue on LI until I get another botting warning msg.
harsh-harlequin•8mo ago
They slowed down linkedin applying because of the botting
