What Simplify is.
Simplify is a Chrome extension founded in 2021 through Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch by Michael Yan, Ethan Chern, and Rushil Nagarsheth, based in San Francisco. The core product autofills job applications across 100+ ATS systems including Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Taleo, Lever, Avature, and SmartRecruiters. As of 2024, more than 1 million job seekers use it, and the Chrome Web Store rating sits at 4.8 stars with over 5,000 reviews. Simplify's free tier includes unlimited autofill plus a basic job tracker that logs every application the extension touches. Simplify+, the paid tier at $39.99 per month monthly or $19.99 per week, adds AI-tailored resumes, AI cover letters, and custom Q&A answers for application forms. The company's focus is narrow and deep: make applying faster. The tracker is secondary.
Pricing, head to head.
On pricing, Simplify's free tier is unusually generous: unlimited autofill and unlimited tracking with no caps. Orbyt's free plan tracks 10 active jobs and ships the full CRM, follow-up reminders, mood check-ins, and interview prep. Where they diverge is the paid tier. Simplify+ costs $39.99 per month monthly, twice the price of Orbyt Unlimited at $19.99 per month. Simplify+ adds AI resume and cover letter tailoring plus Q&A autofill; Orbyt Unlimited includes those features plus contact CRM, follow-up reminders, runway, wellness, interview prep for 700+ companies, and salary data for 3,445 roles. For a job seeker who needs autofill plus everything else, paying Simplify+ $39.99 alongside another tool costs more than Orbyt Unlimited by itself. For autofill alone, Simplify free is the answer and no subscription is needed.
Orbyt wins.
Autofill, plus a real CRM.
Built AI-native from the ground up. Not a chatbot bolted onto a feature list.
Built-in agents that think, reason, and act on your search in real time. A living system, not a stack of dumb screens.
Seven pipeline stages that track what actually happens after you hit submit.
A contact CRM with bidirectional job linking. Every person, every company, every job.
Smart follow-up reminders so warm leads don't rot in your inbox.
AI interview prep the moment a status changes to Interviewing.
Wellness system for when the rejections start piling up.
Runway planner so you always know your runway, not just your application count.
Simplify ends the moment you hit submit. Orbyt starts exactly where the real work begins.
Feature by feature.
Simplify and Orbyt are the closest thing to complementary tools among Orbyt's competitors. Simplify's superpower is autofill. It moves a 15-minute Workday application down to 45 seconds. That is a real, measurable productivity win that Orbyt does not match. What Simplify does not do is run the rest of your search. The tracker inside Simplify is a log of autofilled applications with stage columns, not a contact CRM. There is no runway module to model your savings, no wellness surface to catch burnout, no interview prep for specific companies, no salary data, no smart follow-up reminders that fire from contact relationships, no cover letter library with per-company customization. These are things Orbyt builds for. The honest pattern for most job seekers is to use Simplify free alongside Orbyt: Simplify handles the form-fill speed, Orbyt handles the system of record.

Who each tool is for.
Use Simplify if your bottleneck is the time it takes to fill out ATS applications and you want an extension that saves you 10+ hours per week across 40+ applications. Simplify's free tier alone is enough for this purpose; paying $39.99 per month for Simplify+ only makes sense if you also want AI resume and cover letter tailoring and are not using another tool that already provides those features. Use Orbyt if you want a full job search CRM that handles tracking, contacts, follow-ups, runway, wellness, interview prep, and resume tailoring in one tool. The combination most effective job seekers land on is Simplify free plus Orbyt. Skip Simplify+ unless autofill enhancement is your specific bottleneck.
The bottom line, in 2026.
As of April 2026, Simplify has the best autofill extension in the job search category and Orbyt has the best job search CRM. They are complementary, not competing. The right call for most serious job seekers: Simplify free for form-fill speed, Orbyt for the rest of the search. Paying for Simplify+ at $39.99 per month is hard to justify when Orbyt Unlimited at $19.99 per month delivers more scope. The stack that works is Simplify free plus Orbyt: one tool for filling forms, one tool for running the campaign.
Common questions.
How to migrate from Simplify to Orbyt.
Moving from Simplify's tracker to Orbyt takes about ten minutes. You can keep using Simplify's free autofill extension in parallel, the two tools complement rather than conflict.
- In Simplify, open your job tracker and export your application list as CSV. Simplify exports title, company, URL, stage, and date for every tracked job.
- Sign up for Orbyt at orbytjobs.ai on the free tier.
- From the Orbyt Getting Started panel, click Import CSV. Map Simplify's columns to Orbyt's Jobs fields. Orbyt preserves stage automatically.
- Upload your resumes to Orbyt's Resume tab. If you had AI-generated resumes in Simplify+, download them as PDF or DOCX and upload directly.
- Keep Simplify installed as a Chrome extension. You can continue using its autofill on any job board; just move tracking out of Simplify and into Orbyt where follow-ups, contacts, and runway live.
- Cancel Simplify+ if you were paying for it. Simplify's free tier covers the autofill use case completely; Orbyt handles every other feature Simplify+ offers at half the price.
The move is unusual in that you do not stop using Simplify. You stop paying for Simplify+ and let Orbyt handle everything Simplify+ was doing alongside the autofill.
