PitchPage vs. FlowCV
Last updated
FlowCV is an excellent free résumé builder — it makes a clean, ATS-friendly PDF. PitchPage makes something different: a shareable web page you send instead of a PDF, with your results, a video, and your story. They aren't really competitors — many use FlowCV for the résumé and PitchPage for the link they send.
What each is for
FlowCV is a free, ATS-friendly résumé and cover-letter builder; the output is a polished PDF document. PitchPage turns that experience into an interactive, shareable page (results, a 60-second video, testimonials) you send to stand out beyond the PDF.
Side by side
- Output: a PDF résumé/CV vs. a shareable web page + link
- Best for: a clean ATS résumé vs. standing out beyond the résumé
- Video / interactive: no vs. yes
- ATS application forms: yes vs. the résumé handles ATS; the page is for humans
- Pricing (checked August 2026): free for one résumé and one cover letter, with unlimited downloads and no watermark; paid plans unlock multiple saved versions, with no price published on FlowCV's site vs. free to build, $9 to publish
Use them together
The smart move: build a clean résumé in FlowCV for application forms, then make a PitchPage for the link you lead with in emails, LinkedIn, and follow-ups. The résumé satisfies the ATS; the pitch page gets you remembered.
Why the PDF still matters
Worth being straight about this, because a lot of "the résumé is dead" writing isn't. Most application portals still require a document upload, and a clean, parseable PDF is how you get through that step. FlowCV is genuinely good at producing one. Nothing on a pitch page replaces that.
What the document can't do is compete for attention. Open roles now average more than 300 applications, and 77% of hiring managers say many of the résumés they receive appear completely or partially AI-generated. Your PDF isn't being compared against a bad PDF. It's being compared against three hundred good ones.
What changes when you send a link instead
- A face and a voice. A 60-second introduction is the one thing a PDF physically cannot carry.
- Numbers in context. A metric on a page sits next to the chart, the timeline entry and the testimonial that back it up.
- You find out what happened. Every published page reports views, repeat visits, video plays and résumé downloads, per tracked link.
- It updates without a resend. Edit the content or switch the visual style and the link you already sent still works.
A workflow that uses both
- Build the résumé in FlowCV and keep it clean and parseable. That's what the portal gets.
- Upload that same résumé to PitchPage and let it compose the page. Add your numbers and record the video.
- Put the PitchPage link in the email, the LinkedIn message, and the website field on the application form.
- Follow up first on the links that actually got opened.
FAQ
- Do I have to choose?
- No — they solve different problems. Use FlowCV for the PDF, PitchPage for the page you send.
- Is FlowCV free?
- Yes. The free plan covers one résumé and one cover letter with unlimited downloads and no watermark; saving multiple versions requires a paid plan, and FlowCV does not publish that price on its site (checked August 2026). PitchPage is free to build, $9 once to publish.
- Which gets more interviews?
- The résumé gets you through the form; the pitch page is what makes a human remember you.
- Can I upload a FlowCV PDF straight into PitchPage?
- Yes. That's the intended path — the résumé you already have is the input, and the AI composes the page from it. You don't start from a blank canvas.
- Will sending a pitch page hurt me with an ATS?
- No, because it isn't what the ATS reads. The PDF goes in the upload field, the link goes in the website or cover-letter field. They're doing different jobs.
- Does PitchPage generate a résumé PDF too?
- No. It publishes a page, and it can host the résumé you already have as a download on that page. Keep FlowCV for the document itself.
