Search "free cover letter generator" and the top results are $2.95 trials that renew at $23.95/month. Or "free" tools that watermark your download. Jobeefy's AI cover letter is genuinely free: no card at signup, no watermark on the export, no trial that expires. Same three-paragraph AI cover letter engine as our paid tier — the paid plans just add unlimited tailoring and voice-scored interviews on top.
What 'free' actually means here
- No credit card required to generate or export.
- PDF and DOCX export both free, both watermark-free.
- No email gate before you see the output — the tool at /tools/cover-letter-generator-canada works publicly.
- No trial that auto-renews. If you don't upgrade, nothing charges you.
