FoliumA free Rezi alternative — no 3-download limit
Rezi earns its reputation for ATS-focused, minimalist templates and a keyword scanner that's actually on the free plan. But at the time of writing, the free plan's PDF export is capped at 3 downloads total — not per month, for the life of the free account. Once you've used them, exporting again means paying. Folium keeps the download itself completely unlimited, on every plan, and adds a job-match score of its own.
Open the free editor → 30 seconds to your first preview. Nothing to install.
Why people look for a Rezi alternative
Rezi's pitch is ATS-safety first: simple, parser-friendly templates and a keyword scanner that checks your résumé against a job posting, all included on the free plan. The friction shows up at export time — with only 3 lifetime PDF downloads free, most people burn through them while iterating on wording, formatting or just trying a different template, and end up needing the $29/month Pro plan (or the one-time $149 lifetime plan) just to keep downloading a document they already built for free.

Is Rezi free?
Rezi's free plan includes one résumé and its ATS keyword scanner at no cost. The catch, at the time of writing, is that PDF downloads are capped at 3 total for the life of your free account, not per month — after that, exporting again needs the $29/month Pro plan or the one-time $149 lifetime plan.
Is Folium really free?
Yes. All 30 templates, the live preview and the PDF download are free and unlimited, with no account and no watermark. A free account adds AI tools (3 actions a day) and résumé sync; an optional $5/year Premium raises that to 20 AI actions a day and a full-resolution photo.
Do I need to create an account?
Not to build and download your résumé — that part has no sign-up at all, and there's no cap on exports. A free account is only needed for the AI tools or to sync between devices.
Can I move my Rezi résumé to Folium?
Yes. Export it as a PDF and use Import PDF — AI reads the text and rebuilds it in the editor automatically (needs a free account).
What's the catch?
Folium runs almost entirely in your browser, so it costs very little to operate — downloads stay free and unlimited on every plan. The AI tools need a free account and are capped at 3 uses a day; an optional $5/year Premium plan raises that to 20 a day and adds a full-resolution photo.
