FastApply vs Sorce: Swipe Right on Every Job, or Set Your Preferences Once?

Last updated 9 November 2026. Sorce facts come from sorce.jobs and its App Store listing, and FastApply facts from fastapply.co, all checked on 9 November 2026. We are FastApply, so weigh this accordingly. We have not used a paid Sorce pass.

Short answer: Sorce is a “Tinder for jobs” iPhone app. You swipe right on a job and its AI agent fills out and submits the application, with a tailored cover letter and resume, and you get free swipes every day. FastApply’s Apply for Me doesn’t wait for a swipe: you set your role, location, salary floor and match score once, and it keeps finding matching jobs and applying 24/7 from our servers, with a tailored resume and cover letter on the paid AI Tailoring add-on. FastApply has Swipe to Apply on your phone too, for days you want to hand-pick. Choose Sorce to pick every job yourself for free. Choose FastApply to keep applying when you’re not on your phone.

What is Sorce?

Sorce is an AI job application app made by Sorce, Inc. Its home page describes three steps: upload your resume, swipe right on jobs (“right to apply, left to skip”), and “our AI applies for you”, filling out forms and answering screening questions. Sorce calls itself “Tinder for jobs”. Its site says it launched in August 2024 and is backed by Y Combinator.

Sorce is built for the iPhone. Its App Store listing requires iOS 18 or later, and we found no Android app linked from its site. On the mobile page, Sorce says you can review what it filled out before it submits, and that when a detail is missing it asks you once and remembers the answer.

Sorce says its free tier includes daily swipes with the full AI agent, cover letter generation and resume tailoring, per its own Sorce vs AIApply page. On the App Store, Sorce showed 4.7 out of 5 from 37,933 ratings on 9 November 2026.

What is FastApply’s Apply for Me?

FastApply is a Chrome extension and web app that fills in and submits job applications for you. Apply for Me is the hands-off part. It’s on paid plans only and runs on FastApply’s servers 24/7, so you don’t need your phone, your browser or your laptop open.

You set it up once:

1. Upload your resume. FastApply builds your application profile from it, including work authorization and screening answers.
2. Describe the job. Each Apply for Me automation watches one job profile: role, location, salary floor and any filters you add.
3. Set a match score. Apply for Me applies only to new jobs that score above it.

FastApply’s home page on a phone, captured 9 November 2026. The Apply for Me screen is a sample.

After that it keeps looking and keeps applying. With the paid AI Tailoring add-on (+$7/+$12/+$19/+$29 a month by plan), each application gets its own resume and cover letter, written from your real profile for that posting. FastApply keeps a copy of every application it sends, plus the tailored resume used.

Apply for Me submits on employer application systems such as Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Taleo, Oracle Cloud and Personio. For job boards like LinkedIn Easy Apply, you use the Chrome extension, in Auto-pilot (tailors and submits automatically) or Co-pilot (stops at each step so you can review).

FastApply can swipe, too. Swipe to Apply works on your phone: right to apply, left to skip. It has its own daily cap of 5 swipes a day on the free plan, 10 on Starter, 20 on Pro and 25 on Elite and Max, per the FastApply help page. Each right swipe is one application. Here is how Apply for Me applies to jobs for you.

Swipe to apply vs set-and-forget: which one gets more applications out?

Set-and-forget gets more out, because it doesn’t wait for you. On Sorce, nothing is sent until you swipe right. Sorce says so itself: it “makes you tap yes (swipe right) on every role before our agent applies.” On FastApply, Apply for Me applies to every new job that clears your match score, day and night.

Sorce is open about the trade-off. On its own Sorce vs JobCopilot page, it describes set-and-forget tools as letting you “configure once and walk away” and says: “If you’d rather not look at every job, JobCopilot is built for that.” The same is true of Apply for Me.

Here is how the two approaches play out:

• Effort. Sorce talks about “dozens of swipes in five minutes”. That is quick, but it’s five minutes every time you want more applications. Apply for Me needs your time once, at setup, and again only when you change your preferences.
• Timing. Apply for Me checks for new matches around the clock, so it can apply soon after a job is posted, even overnight. A swipe app applies when you next open it.
• Control. Swiping is a yes or no on each job, so you never apply to something you didn’t see. That’s Sorce’s best argument, and it’s a fair one. With Apply for Me, you control the role, location, salary floor and match score up front, and you can check every application and tailored resume afterwards. If you want to pick each job inside FastApply, swipe on your phone or use the extension’s Co-pilot mode.

How much does Sorce cost compared with FastApply?

Sorce is free to download and gives you free swipes every day. It doesn’t publish a pricing page (sorce.jobs/pricing returns a 404), and it doesn’t say how many free swipes you get a day. Paid options are App Store in-app purchases. On 9 November 2026 the listing showed these:

Sorce’s App Store listing, captured 9 November 2026.

Sorce 1 Month Pass	$39.99
25 Application Credits	$2.99

The listing doesn’t say how many applications a weekly or monthly pass includes, so you can’t work out a price per application before you buy. Sorce’s terms say subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date, and fees are non-refundable except where the law requires.

FastApply has a free plan: up to 5 jobs a day for 7 days, no card. Paid plans give 200, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 applications a month, at $14, $29, $49 or $89 a month in the US, with local prices in most countries on the FastApply pricing page. Apply for Me is on every paid plan, and tailoring is the paid AI Tailoring add-on.

If you’re spending money anyway, compare the monthly options. Sorce’s 1 Month Pass is $39.99 with an allowance it doesn’t publish. FastApply Starter is $14 a month for 200 applications, or $21 with the AI Tailoring add-on.

What Sorce does well

• A real free tier with the AI included. Daily free swipes with the agent, tailoring and cover letters is generous. FastApply’s free plan runs for 7 days.
• Tailoring at no extra cost. Sorce says every swipe gets a tailored cover letter and resume. On FastApply, tailoring is a paid add-on.
• You choose every job. If you worry about an AI applying to the wrong roles, swiping keeps that from happening.
• Built around the swipe. For people who job hunt in spare minutes on an iPhone, the swipe loop is the whole product. FastApply’s swipe has a lower daily cap, from 5 swipes a day free to 25 on Elite and Max.

Where Sorce falls short

• It only applies when you swipe. If you stop opening the app for a few days, nothing goes out.
• iPhone only. We found no Android app, so Android users are left out.
• Opaque limits. Sorce doesn’t publish how many free swipes you get a day, or how many applications a pass or credit pack buys.
• Non-refundable fees. Its terms say fees aren’t refunded except where the law requires.

Who should choose Sorce, and who should choose FastApply?

Choose Sorce if you have an iPhone, you want to approve every job yourself, and you want to start free with tailoring included. It’s a good fit for short, focused sessions where you pick roles one by one.

Choose FastApply if you know what you’re looking for and want applications to keep going out without you. Set your preferences once and Apply for Me keeps applying to jobs that match them 24/7, with a tailored resume and cover letter on the AI Tailoring add-on. When you want to hand-pick, Swipe to Apply is on your phone. It also fits anyone applying through Workday, Greenhouse or LinkedIn Easy Apply.

Some people use both: a swipe app for roles they want to hand-pick, and Apply for Me for the steady volume behind them. Whatever you use, apply by hand to your top-choice companies and ask for referrals there. If you’re weighing other swipe apps, read our FastApply vs Sprout comparison.
