# Reactive Resume vs Novorésumé

> Compare Reactive Resume and Novorésumé by free document limits, templates, guided writing, AI, exports, and self-hosting.

Novorésumé is a better fit when guided design, writing advice, a content library, and its integrated assistant are central to drafting. Reactive Resume is a better fit when you need several saved resume versions without its Basic document and page limits.

| ---------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Saved resumes    | Manage separate resume versions      | Basic permits one document                                               |
| Document length  | Use the length your content requires | Basic permits one page; Premium permits longer documents                 |
| Drafting support | Direct editing and optional AI       | Guided design, writing advice, content library, and integrated assistant |
| Exports          | PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and JSON        | See Novorésumé plan and export options                                   |

Novorésumé's current Basic plan permits exactly one document and a maximum one-page document length. Its Premium plan lists 72 documents and documents up to 10 pages. The product also documents templates, a content library, real-time advice, and an integrated assistant.

Reactive Resume keeps resume versions in the [dashboard](/guides/managing-resumes-from-the-dashboard) and supports [PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and JSON exports](/guides/exporting-your-resume). Its source is public under the [MIT license](/legal/license), and it can be run with Docker.

## Where Novorésumé is a better fit

Choose Novorésumé when its guided design, writing advice, content library, and integrated assistant are more useful than managing several versions in the same system. Premium also fits when its larger document count and longer documents match your needs.

## Where Reactive Resume is a better fit

Choose Reactive Resume when you want to manage multiple saved resumes and export them in PDF, DOCX, Markdown, or JSON. It also provides a self-hosting option; see the [Docker guide](/self-hosting/docker).

## Which should you choose?

Choose Novorésumé when its guided drafting tools are the priority and its Basic or Premium document limits fit your workflow. Choose Reactive Resume when you want multiple resume versions and designed exports without moving to a premium plan.

## Reactive Resume limitations in this comparison

Reactive Resume has a smaller guidance and content surface. It does not provide Novorésumé's integrated content library and assistant in the same guided drafting workflow.
