Role Trackr vs Simplify
Simplify is a popular free job tracker with an autofill extension, and a paid tier whose Autopilot can apply for you. Role Trackr keeps your search organized too, but it is built around Shep, who finds the roles that fit overnight and writes the follow-up, and never submits for you. Here is an honest comparison.

The short version
Simplify makes applying faster. Role Trackr makes the search around it lighter: the finding, the tailoring and the follow-up. Many people would happily use both.
Where they are basically the same
Both track your applications for free, both follow your Gmail and let you approve the updates they find, and both help with your resume.
Where Role Trackr goes further
Finding roles and the follow-up. Simplify’s AI email drafts are on its paid tier and you send them; Shep notices when a role goes quiet and drafts the note for you. Every night Shep reads company job boards against your target and keeps the few that clear your bar, with why each one fits and what is missing. It tailors your resume for the best-fitting role you saved, with every change shown for you to keep. When a role goes quiet it writes the follow-up, and it turns confirmations, replies and invites in your job email into updates you confirm with one tap. When a role reaches interviews, one press builds its prep pack. Nothing goes to another person until you say send.
What about price
Role Trackr is free to start, with no card. Pro is $10 a month, tax included, for your inbox, more Targets and the full AI allowance, and you can cancel online any time. Simplify+ is $39.99 a month, $19.99 a week, or $89.99 for three months (checked November 2026), and its free tier covers the tracker and autofill.

Role Trackr vs Simplify FAQ
Is Simplify a bad tool?
No. Its free tracker and autofill are genuinely useful, and its Gmail tracking asks before it changes anything. It is aimed at applying faster; Role Trackr is aimed at the work around the application.
Will Role Trackr submit applications for me?
No, never. Simplify’s paid Autopilot can. With Shep, you press submit on the company’s site yourself.
Can I use both?
Yes. Simplify for filling forms, Shep for finding the roles and the follow-up and prep around them.
