Applyd vs Simplify for Irish graduate jobs
Simplify is best known for its free autofill browser extension and application tracker, and it has a deserved following for taking the pain out of repetitive application forms. Its public positioning is centred on the US market.
Applyd solves a different part of the same problem, for a different place. Rather than filling forms faster, it focuses on making each application to an Irish employer stronger: a fit analysis before you apply, tailored documents you can edit, and tracking that works through a real email address. Here is how the two compare, based on Simplify’s public positioning as of mid-2026.

Where Simplify shines
The autofill extension is free and genuinely useful — if you face a lot of long application forms, it saves real time.
The tracker and extension work together, so applications you make around the web are captured with little effort.
You can get value from it without paying anything, which matters when you are job hunting on a student budget.
Where Applyd is different
Built for the Irish market
Applyd only lists Irish roles, curated from employer applicant tracking systems. Graduate scheme deadlines, Irish salary benchmarks, and work-rights-aware onboarding are core features, not localisation added later.
Tailoring, not just autofill
Filling a form faster does not change what is on your CV. Applyd drafts a CV and cover letter tailored to the specific role, shows you skill and keyword coverage, and lets you edit every line — with an authenticity check so the result still sounds like you.
Tracking that lives in email
Recruiters reply by email, so Applyd tracks by email: a private @mail.applyd.ie address collects replies and suggests status updates automatically, whichever site you applied through.
A transparent free tier
Like Simplify, Applyd has a real free tier. The paid plans are plainly priced in euro — PRO €18/month, POWER €34/month — with no need to guess what you get.
Different tools for different markets
If you are applying mainly to US roles and want forms filled quickly, Simplify earns its reputation. If you are a graduate applying in Ireland and want each application tailored, checked, and tracked in one place, Applyd is built for your situation — and the free tier lets you judge that for yourself.
