RemoteHunt reads 70,000+ live remote postings and removes any job that says it cannot hire someone in your country before it scores anything. Teal does not do this. It is a resume builder and application tracker, not a job search engine, and it has no country filter at all. If your main question is "will this tool show me jobs open to my country," the answer is RemoteHunt. If your question is "I already have jobs to apply to, I need to organize them and polish my resume," the answer is Teal.
The real question most people ask
If you searched for "RemoteHunt vs Teal," you probably have one of these questions:
- Will this show me jobs that companies will hire me for, in my country, not just US-only jobs labeled "remote"?
- Is this a subscription that keeps charging my card every month?
- Can I even pay with my card from where I live?
- Is this built for senior US engineers, or does it also work if I'm early in my career or not an engineer?
Here are short answers, then the details below.
1. Country filtering. RemoteHunt reads where each posting says it can hire and removes the ones closed to your country before you ever see them. A job that does not say stays in your list. Teal has no country filter. It shows you whatever you paste in or save yourself, remote-labeled or not.
2. Subscription. Teal renews automatically (weekly, monthly or quarterly), until you cancel it yourself. RemoteHunt's free plan never charges you; its 90-day pass is one $29 payment with nothing that renews, and Monthly ($12 a month) renews only if you choose it.
3. Paying from your country. RemoteHunt takes cards from most countries. In India, switch on international online payments on your card first. A short list of countries cannot pay, most of them under sanctions, such as Iran, Russia and Venezuela. Teal takes standard card payments online; we found no list of countries it refuses.
4. Who it's built for. RemoteHunt scores roles across engineering, operations, project management, customer support, and other non-technical fields, not just software jobs. Teal's tools (resume builder, tracker) work for any career, but it does not search or score jobs for you at all.
One thing both tools agree on: nobody should ever have to pay to apply for a job. If a job posting asks you for money to submit an application, it's a scam: walk away, whatever tool sent you there.
What Teal actually is
Teal (tealhq.com) is a resume builder and job application tracker. It does not search the internet for jobs on its own. Its real strengths:
- A Chrome extension that saves job listings from other sites (LinkedIn, job boards, company career pages) into a tracker
- A Kanban-style application tracker: status columns, notes, contacts, follow-up reminders
- A resume builder with keyword matching against a job description you paste in
- AI-written resume bullets, summaries, and cover letters
Its free "Free Forever" plan gives you unlimited resumes and unlimited tracking, but only top-5 keyword matching and a small number of AI credits (10 bullets, 2 summaries, 2 cover letters, when we checked in September 2026). The paid "Teal+" plan unlocks the full keyword match, unlimited AI writing, and the full template library.
Teal has no job-search engine and no country filter. You paste in the jobs; Teal does not go find them or check where they can hire you.
What RemoteHunt actually is
RemoteHunt reads 70,000+ live remote job postings from employers' own careers pages (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and others) and job boards, refreshed every two hours. For every posting it can reach, it does three things before you see anything:
- Reads where the employer can hire (which countries), and drops any posting closed to your country.
- Scores what's left, 0–100, against your resume, with a written reason for the score.
- Scores every match for free. Some matches show the company name and apply link. No credit card required.
For the jobs you pick, RemoteHunt also writes a resume and a cover letter tailored to that one posting, and keeps every application on one board (Preparing, Applied, Interview, Closed), with your notes and a history of each step. What it does not have is Teal's general-purpose resume editor, where you polish one base resume line by line with templates. RemoteHunt is built first to answer one question: "which of these thousands of postings can hire me, and how good a fit am I?"
Why the country filter matters more than most comparisons mention
A huge share of postings labeled "remote" are only open to people already living in the US, or in a specific EU country, or a short list of approved states. If you read that label at face value and apply anyway, you waste your time on a job that was never going to hire you. Our guide on what "remote (US only)" means breaks down how common this is and how to spot it before you apply. If a posting instead says "remote, EMEA," our guide on what EMEA means in a job posting explains which countries that phrase usually covers, and which it doesn't.
Neither Teal nor a generic job board filters this for you. RemoteHunt does it automatically for every posting in its pool, and it's the first filter that runs before any score is calculated. If you're searching from India, the Philippines, or Nigeria, you can browse RemoteHunt's country pages for jobs already filtered to hire there: remote jobs for India, remote jobs for the Philippines, remote jobs for Nigeria.
One more thing worth checking before you apply anywhere: whether the role pays you as an employee or as a contractor, which changes your taxes and benefits. Our guide on contractor vs. employee remote jobs explains the difference.

Which should you use?
Use Teal if:
- You already have a list of jobs you're applying to and want somewhere to track status, contacts, and reminders
- You want a polished, ATS-optimized resume and are fine building it by hand with AI help
- You're applying to a mix of remote, hybrid, and in-office roles and don't need country filtering
Use RemoteHunt if:
- You want a tool to find and filter remote jobs for you, not just track ones you already found
- You're searching from outside the US or Western Europe and are tired of applying to jobs that turn out to be US-only
- You want a free way to see how well you match a job before spending time on an application. Try the free resume checker or browse the live feed
- You don't want a subscription: RemoteHunt's 90-day pass is a single $29 payment, never a recurring charge
Can you use both?
Yes. Some people use RemoteHunt to find and score remote jobs that are open to their country, then copy the ones they apply to into Teal's tracker to manage contacts and follow-ups by hand. They solve different problems: RemoteHunt finds and filters, Teal organizes and polishes.
If you want to see your own match scores first, create an account (no credit card required), or check the salary data for the role you're targeting, or install the Chrome extension to check any job page you land on, anywhere on the web.
FAQ
Does RemoteHunt or Teal filter jobs by which country can hire me?
RemoteHunt does, automatically, for every posting in its pool of 70,000+ live remote jobs. It reads where each posting says it can hire and drops postings closed to your country before scoring anything. Teal does not have this filter; it only tracks and helps you apply to jobs you find and save yourself.
Is Teal a subscription, and does it auto-renew?
Yes. Teal+ renews automatically (weekly ($13), monthly ($29), or quarterly ($79), when we checked in September 2026), until you cancel it. Its refund window is short and depends on your billing period (as little as 2 days on the weekly plan). RemoteHunt's free plan never charges you; its 90-day pass is a single $29 payment with no renewal and a 7-day refund, and its Monthly plan ($12 a month) renews until you cancel.
What does RemoteHunt's free plan include?
Free is $0, no card. Every match is scored 0 to 100 and some show the company and apply link. Limits: 3 cover letters a week, 3 tailored resumes and 50 Ask AI messages a month. The 90-day pass shows the company on every match. $29 once, no renewal, 7-day refund. Monthly ($12 a month) does the same until you cancel, and Now + re-check ($5 once) shows the company on your current matches for good, plus one re-check of more jobs.
Does Teal find jobs for me automatically?
No. Teal relies on you to find listings elsewhere and save them with its browser extension. It does not scan the web or score jobs against your resume. RemoteHunt does this automatically: it reads 70,000+ live postings from employers' own careers pages and job boards, refreshed every two hours, and scores each one before you see it.
Is RemoteHunt only for software engineers?
No. About half of RemoteHunt's readers are looking for non-engineering roles: project manager, operations, administrative assistant, business analyst, customer support, and similar jobs are among the most searched. The scoring works the same way for any role: it reads your resume and the job description, not just keywords from a tech stack.
Which tool has the better resume builder?
Teal's is the more full-featured general-purpose resume builder: templates, keyword matching, and AI-written bullets for one polished base resume. RemoteHunt's resume checker is free and focused on telling you fast whether your resume matches a specific job, and its tailored-resume tool builds a per-job version rather than one you edit by hand.
Is either tool a scam, or does either ask me to pay to apply?
No. Neither RemoteHunt nor Teal ever asks you to pay to submit a job application. That's always a red flag anywhere you see it. RemoteHunt's paid pass shows the company and apply link on every match, not only on some, and Teal's paid plan adds more of its own resume and AI tools. Paying either company is optional and separate from applying to any job.
