Applying to one or two jobs
Stay on free. Two documents and 5 exports a month cover this comfortably, and there is nothing about a paid template that will get you the interview.
Free plan
A free CV builder, with every limit written down
“Free” on a CV site usually means free until the download button. This page lists the exact allowances of the free plan, what is deliberately behind a payment and why, and precisely what appears on a free PDF. The numbers below are read from the same plan definition the server checks before it lets you do anything.

Included
What you get without paying anything
Not a stripped-down preview mode. The writing tool is the whole writing tool.
2 saved CVs, kept indefinitely
Enough for a general document plus one tailored to the job you actually want. They do not expire, and they are still there in eighteen months when you next need them.
5 PDF downloads every calendar month
A real export: page-accurate, fonts embedded, named after you. The counter resets on the first of the month, and a download is only counted when a file is actually produced.
16 of the 56 templates
Including the default template, which is also one of the highest-scoring layouts for automated parsing. The free set is not a demo set.
The complete editor
Live preview, autosave, drag-to-reorder sections, all twelve built-in sections, and template switching that keeps every word you have typed. Nothing in the writing experience is gated.
Accent colour, paper size, photo toggle and date format
The four settings that change whether a document is right for a given market — A4 or US Letter above all — are available without paying.
Excluded
What is behind a payment, and the reason for each
Five things. Every one of them is a deliberate choice, and none of them stops you producing and sending a finished CV.
- Paid
The premium templates
40 designs are paid. Each one is a hand-built layout that has to be tested against long careers, short careers and both paper sizes. They are the part of the product with an ongoing cost per design.
- Paid
Fonts, spacing, margins and full colour control
Free documents render exactly as the template intends. This is partly a paid feature and partly a guard rail: most CVs are damaged rather than improved by a 9pt condensed typeface at 8 mm margins.
- Paid
Custom sections beyond the built-in twelve
Bespoke sections — “Patents”, “Clinical rotations”, “Exhibitions” — are for specialist documents, and specialist documents are usually written by people already deep into a job search.
- Paid
A public share link
A hosted, always-current URL for your CV costs us bandwidth on every view and has to be revocable. It is genuinely a hosting feature rather than an editing one.
- Paid
Exports without the footer credit line
The single grey line at the foot of a free export is how people find the tool. Removing it is the one thing you are quite reasonably paying for when you upgrade.
Free and Pro, row by row
The same table shown on the pricing page, with no asterisks under it.
| Feature | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Templates | 16 free designs | All 56 designs |
| Saved CVs | Up to 2 | Unlimited |
| PDF downloads | 5 per month | Unlimited |
| Fonts, spacing, colours | Accent colour + paper size | Full control |
| Custom sections | — | Yes |
| Public share link | — | Yes |
| Footer credit on PDF | Yes | Removed |
The honest answer
Is it actually free?
Yes, and it stays free. There is no expiry date on the plan, no card taken at signup and no point at which a finished document is held hostage behind a payment screen. You can write a CV, export the PDF, send it and never see a checkout page.
What funds it is straightforward: some people are in an active job search, want all 56 templates and a dozen tailored copies, and pay for a month or buy the one-time plan. Rendering a PDF runs a real browser on a real server for a second or two, which is the one operation here with a per-use cost — that is why downloads are the metered thing rather than editing or saving.
The limits are set where a normal, careful job application does not touch them. 5 exports a month is roughly one final PDF a week; if you are exporting more often than that, you are almost certainly running a real campaign of applications, which is exactly when Pro at $9 starts to make sense.
No watermark
What a free export actually looks like
There is no watermark. Nothing is stamped across your text, no logo is placed in a corner, and no diagonal “SAMPLE” sits behind your work history. A free PDF is your document, at full quality, with the fonts embedded.
What it does carry is one line of small grey type, centred at the very bottom of the page, 10 px above the paper edge:
Made with CreateCVOnline · createcvonline.com
Free templates
The free set is not the reject pile
5 of the 6 layouts built specifically for applicant tracking systems are free, and “Modern Professional” — the template every new document starts on — is one of the highest-scoring designs in the whole library.

Profile
Senior product designer with nine years of experience shaping B2B SaaS products used by more than two million people. I pair rigorous discovery with fast, high-fidelity prototyping, and I am happiest when a design decision can be traced back to a measured user outcome. Previously led the design system that unified four product surfaces at Atlas Cloud, cutting new-feature design time by 40%.

Amina El Fassi
Senior Product Designer
Profile
Senior product designer with nine years of experience shaping B2B SaaS products used by more than two million people. I pair rigorous discovery with fast, high-fidelity prototyping, and I am happiest when a design decision can be traced back to a measured user outcome. Previously led the design system that unified four product surfaces at Atlas Cloud, cutting new-feature design time by 40%.

Browse all 56 templates — free ones are marked, so you can see exactly what you would be paying for before you create an account.
When to pay
Three situations, three honest answers
In an active search this month
Pro at $9 buys 31 days of unlimited documents and exports, which is what tailoring a version per application actually requires. Nothing renews on its own.
You will be back in two years
Lifetime at $69 is a single payment with no expiry — worth it only if you expect to job-hunt again, which most people do.
Questions about the free plan
The ones people ask before signing up, answered with numbers instead of adjectives.
Really free, with no timer. The free plan is a plan, not a trial: 2 CVs, 5 PDF downloads a month, 16 templates, for as long as you keep the account. Nothing switches off after fourteen days and no card is taken to start.
No. There is no watermark, no diagonal text across the page and no logo on your document. Free exports carry one line of small grey type at the foot of the page reading “Made with CreateCVOnline · createcvonline.com”, set at 7.5 px in light grey. Paid exports have nothing at all.
No. An email address and a password create the account, and the editor opens straight away. Payment details are only requested if you decide to buy a paid plan, and checkout runs through PayPal rather than us storing card details.
Exporting is blocked until the counter resets on the first of the next month; everything else keeps working, so you can carry on editing. Only successful exports count — if a render fails you are not charged a download. If you need more this month, Pro removes the cap.
Yes. Your documents stay in your account whether or not you ever buy anything, and the PDFs you have already exported are yours permanently — they do not phone home, expire or degrade. If you delete your account, the documents go with it.
No, and this is checkable: the default template every new CV starts on is free, and most of the layouts built specifically for applicant tracking systems are free. The paid set is larger and more specialised — sector-specific, two-column and more decorative designs — not simply better.
No. A Pro payment buys 31 days of access and nothing renews automatically; when the period ends the account reverts to free with every document intact. Lifetime is a single payment with no expiry at all.
Start on the free plan and stay there if it is enough
You can write a complete CV, choose a template, export a PDF and send it without ever seeing a payment screen. If you need more later, it is still here.
No card required. 2 saved CVs and 5 PDF downloads a month, indefinitely.
