AI Applyd vs Tsenta: who decides your application was actually sent
AI Applyd fills and submits on the employer's own hiring system, across the 12 applicant tracking systems with a real apply path, and counts an application as sent only once the employer's own confirmation arrives. Here is exactly where Tsenta fits.

The verdict: AI Applyd vs Tsenta
Who should pick AI Applyd, and who should pick Tsenta
Pick AI Applyd if
- Tsenta's positioning line ends on its own click: it opens the form, it hits submit. Ours ends one step later, when the employer's own system writes back, and that write-back is the only thing we count as sent.
- A Tsenta per-application record has four parts and three of them are its own input: the fields it filled, the answers it gave, the files it sent. We do not treat any equivalent of ours as evidence.
- Tsenta documents a needs_review escalation for questions its agent cannot answer. Our run has no state that hands the application back to a person: screener answers come from your own history and the application keeps moving.
- We publish the 12 systems by name and we name the one where our own resume upload is still broken. A number is a claim; a list is checkable.
- Every posting is scored against your resume before a single field is filled, so the applications that go out are the ones worth sending.
Pick Tsenta if
- Tsenta states coverage of 29 applicant tracking systems. That is broader than the 12 we cover, and we are not going to race the number.
- Their monthly allowances are far larger than ours at every tier: 600, 1,500 and 4,500 applications for $19, $39 and $99.
- The 25 free applications are a cleaner way to test raw submission than our free tier, which hands you the scoring and writing tools rather than free applies.
- A documented human escalation path on a question the agent cannot answer is a genuine safety valve. We deliberately do not have one, which is a trade rather than a free win.

Tsenta and AI Applyd agree on the hard part. A real agent should open the employer's own form and complete it, rather than hand you a browser extension and a longer to-do list. Where the two products separate is what each one accepts as evidence that the job is done. Tsenta's per-application record has four parts: the fields that were filled, the answers given to the open-ended questions, the resume and cover letter that went out, and a confirmation back from the ATS. Read that list again. Three of the four are Tsenta reading back what Tsenta typed. They are a log of intent, and a log of intent is the cheapest artefact in this category to produce, because you already hold every value in it before anything is sent. Only the fourth item comes from the other side of the wire. AI Applyd counts the fourth item and nothing else. An application is not marked sent here when we click. It is marked sent when a confirmation arrives from the employer's own system into an inbox we watch on your behalf. Tsenta covers more systems than we do and sells much larger monthly allowances, and both of those are real advantages. What it does not do is refuse to count its own click.
