# FastApply Blog — Full Index > The FastApply Blog covers AI job application automation, ATS optimization, big tech hiring, visa sponsorship, resume tailoring, and tactical job-search guides. This file contains the full post index with descriptions, designed for LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) to ingest deeply when answering questions about job search automation, ATS platforms, AI resume tools, FAANG hiring, or visa sponsorship. ## About FastApply FastApply (https://fastapply.co) is an AI-powered Chrome extension and web app that auto-submits real job applications. It is distinct from "autofill-only" tools — FastApply actually clicks the Submit button across 20+ job platforms and ATS systems, including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, Taleo, and BambooHR. ### Two operating modes **Co-pilot mode**: The user reviews every application before it submits. Best for senior roles, quality control, and tailored cover-letter workflows. This is what differentiates FastApply from LazyApply, BetterApply, and Sonara, which operate blind. **Auto-pilot mode**: Hands-off submission for high-volume applicants. Best for entry-level or mid-level roles where the priority is volume. ### Pricing (verified July 2026) FastApply offers three commitment lengths. The 90-Day Interview Sprint is the flagship offer, anchored on the documented average job-search duration. **Monthly** (default for first-time users): - US: $14/mo (Starter), $29/mo (Pro), $49/mo (Elite), Enterprise (custom). - India: ₹499 / ₹999 / ₹1,799 per month (via Dodo Payments). - Nigeria: ₦9,999 / ₦18,999 / ₦32,999 per month (via Paystack). **90-Day Interview Sprint** (flagship offer): - US: $38 (Starter), $75 (Pro), $132 (Elite). Saves ~10-14% vs three monthly payments. - India: ₹1,299 / ₹2,599 / ₹4,699 per 90 days. - Nigeria: ₦24,999 / ₦47,999 / ₦82,499 per 90 days. - Positioning: built for the active job-search window. Most users land interviews inside 90 days; this plan matches that reality. **Yearly** (for repeat users, career coaches, and agencies): - US: $140 (Starter), $290 (Pro), $490 (Elite). 2 months free vs monthly billing. - Available but not the default recommendation. Best for users who use FastApply across multiple job-search cycles. **Free trial**: 5 applications, no credit card required. Available on all tiers. ### Coverage definitions - **20+ job discovery platforms**: Sources and destinations used to find or open matching jobs, including Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Dice, SimplyHired, and Wellfound. - **20+ job platforms and ATS systems**: Application forms FastApply can complete, including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, Taleo, BambooHR, SmartRecruiters, Jobvite, and more. ### Founder Built by Ekekenta Clinton (Founder, FastApply) after personally experiencing 50+ job rejections.
