Looking for a Huntr alternative?
Huntr is a job search organizer. Track & Crack is a job application generator. They solve adjacent problems — here's how to think about which one (or both) you need.
TL;DR
Huntr helps you organize a job search you're already running — tracking applications, contacts, and interviews on a Kanban board. Track & Crack helps you run a better search from the start — building a career profile, scoring job fit, and generating tailored CVs and cover letters automatically. If your problem is keeping track of 50 open applications, Huntr. If your problem is getting more of those applications to convert, Track & Crack.

They solve different problems
Huntr is built around the metaphor of a job search pipeline. You add a job to your board, move it through columns (Applied, Interview, Offer, Rejected), log contacts you've spoken to, and track tasks like follow-up emails and interview prep. It's a CRM for your career. If you're running a structured, high-volume search and losing track of where things stand, Huntr solves that.
Track & Crack is built around the problem of what you send. It builds a structured profile of your career — your roles, achievements, evidence — and uses it to score your fit for a specific role, generate a tailored CV, and write a cover letter grounded in your actual experience. The problem it solves is the quality and relevance of each application, not the logistics of managing 50 of them.
These tools aren't really competing. A rigorous job seeker could use Huntr to stay organized and Track & Crack to make each application better. But if you can only pick one, the question is: is your bottleneck volume management or application quality?
Where Huntr genuinely wins
Application pipeline management. Huntr's Kanban board, contact tracking, and task system are purpose-built for job seekers managing dozens of active applications across different stages. Track & Crack has basic job tracking but nothing close to Huntr's organizational depth.
Interview prep and follow-up workflows. Huntr lets you log interview notes, set reminders, and track conversations with specific contacts at each company. If relationship management and follow-through are where you lose opportunities, that's a real gap Track & Crack doesn't fill.
