The honest answer: many "free" AI auto-apply tools are trials, low-cap plans, or resume/cover-letter tools rather than full daily auto-apply. You need to check whether the free tier actually submits applications.

Sorce is one of the few exceptions. 40 free swipes/day with the full AI agent included, indefinitely.

Why Sorce can offer a real free tier

We built Sorce as a freemium product from day one. The free tier is part of how we build the user base; the paid tiers exist for power users who want higher daily caps.

Many competitors gate meaningful AI automation behind a paid plan because the AI agent costs money to run on every application. We've optimized our agent to make 40/day economically viable on the free tier.

What's included in Sorce's free tier

  • 40 swipe-and-applies per day
  • Full AI agent (submits via company career site)
  • Auto-generated cover letter per application
  • Resume tailoring
  • iOS app
  • Application tracking

That's the same agent paid users get. The cap is the only difference.

Realistic free-tier output

40 applications/day × 5 days = 200/week. That's enough volume for most job seekers to actually generate interviews.
