What Novoresume does
Novoresume is a resume and cover letter builder with a large template/color library, marketed around 'pay once, no recurring billing' plans rather than a perpetual subscription. Founded in 2016, it has one of the larger review bases in the category.
What you get: Multiple resume versions, Up to 10-page documents on Premium, Matching cover letter templates, 74 color themes, 12 fonts on Premium.
Typical jobs: Students wanting a free basic resume; Job seekers wanting several tailored resume versions without a subscription.
Worth knowing: Prices shown in EUR as displayed on the official pricing page. 'Pay once' marketing refers to no auto-recurring billing after the chosen billing period, not a lifetime one-time fee.
What users complain about: Users report being charged when re-downloading a resume they already paid for after making minor changes (Web search summary of Trustpilot reviews)
