If you are looking for professional help with your application, you face a confusing range of options. Prices, scope of services, and working methods vary widely — and not every service suits every situation. We have compared four of the best-known providers in Germany: by price, delivery time, methodology, data protection, and special features.
myjobhub is one of these providers. That is why we are transparent about where we see advantages and where our limitations lie.
This comparison is published by myjobhub
We are a provider ourselves and therefore not neutral. All information about other providers is based on publicly available sources (websites, review platforms, test reports — as of March 2026). We deliberately name our own weaknesses as well. Our goal: to give you an honest basis for your decision.
The overview: Four application services compared

The providers in detail
Die Bewerbungsschreiber (Bochum)
The market leader among German application services. Active since 2011, over 50,000 applications created, around 25 copywriters from various professional fields. Strengths: Fast delivery (standard 4 business days, express from 24 hours), broad range of services (cover letter, CV, motivation letter, short profile, LinkedIn/XING), personal point of contact, hotline, strong customer reviews (ProvenExpert 4.86 with over 12,500 reviews). Limitations: No systematic ATS check explicitly advertised as a standard service, individual pricing (final price depends on professional experience and complexity, starting from 139 €).
richtiggutbewerben.de (Düsseldorf)
Known for an appearance on “Die Höhle der Löwen” (Season 8, the German equivalent of Shark Tank) and a Galileo test. Founded by Bilal and Adil Zafar. Strengths: Transparent fixed prices (complete application from 99 €), fast processing (currently from 2 business days according to website), same-day express option, hotline Mon–Fri 7am–8pm, own online platform with order tracking, free cover letter rewrite in case of rejection (with complete packages). Limitations: No ATS check as a standalone service, no data-driven job analysis.
bewerbung2go
Online builder tool for creating your own application. Strengths: Lowest entry price (from approx. 30 €), instantly available, many templates. Good for anyone who just needs an appealing layout and can write the content themselves. Limitations: No human feedback, no ATS check, no job analysis, no individual text work — you write everything yourself. Data protection information on the website is poorly documented.
What myjobhub does differently — and where the limits are
myjobhub works on a different principle than traditional application writers. Instead of jumping straight into writing, your documents first go through a structured analysis: job analysis, skill matching, market positioning. Only then is the content strategically developed and finalised by an expert — sentence by sentence.
What sets us apart
- Data-driven job analysis: Systematic comparison between the job listing, your profile, and current market data. Not just “a copywriter reads the listing”, but a structured evaluation of keywords, requirements, and industry context.
- Skill analysis and strategic positioning: We identify which of your abilities are relevant for the target role, where gaps exist, and how you can position yourself most convincingly.
- ATS check in every package: Every application is tested for compatibility with common Applicant Tracking Systems — as standard, not as an add-on. More on this: What is an ATS?
- Personal onboarding instead of a questionnaire: Before you buy, a free 15-minute call so you know what to expect. After purchase, a 30-minute onboarding call with assessment — included in every package. No call centre, just a real conversation.
- Personal landing page: From the Pro package, you receive your own page under your subdomain (e.g. maxmustermann.myjobhub.de) — mobile-optimised, shareable, with your profile, skills, and CV highlights. No other application service in Germany currently offers this.
- GDPR-compliant on German servers: All data on Hetzner servers in Nuremberg. No advertising cookies, no tracking. Applicant data is deleted after project completion.
- Free tools: The Quick Check compares your CV against a job listing. The Market Pulse analysis maps your skills against the current job market. Both free, without registration.
Where we must be honest
- New provider: myjobhub launched in 2026. Fewer reviews and less track record than Die Bewerbungsschreiber (since 2011) or richtiggutbewerben.de. We are building trust — but we are not yet established.
- Longer standard delivery times: 5–14 business days depending on the package, because we include job analysis, assessment, and strategic development. Express is available on request — but if you need guaranteed finished documents within 24 hours, you are better served by specialised express providers.
- Smaller team: More personal service, but limited capacity during peak times.
- Higher entry price: From 149 € — that is more than providers starting at 39 or 99 €. In return, job analysis, ATS check, and onboarding call are included.
A good application service is not the cheapest or the fastest — it is the one that fits your situation.
What to look for when choosing
- Methodology: How are the documents created? Does a copywriter read the listing and start writing, or is there a structured analysis of your profile against the job requirements?
- ATS compatibility: Are your documents checked for parsing errors? More on this: How to build your CV correctly.
- Data protection: Where is your data stored? Applications contain sensitive information — name, address, employer, salary expectations.
- Editability: Do you receive only a PDF or also an editable DOCX? Can you make adjustments yourself later?
- Personal contact: Is there a real conversation before you buy, or just a form? Some situations (career change, gaps, international experience) need context that a questionnaire cannot capture.
- Revisions: How many revision rounds are included? Do corrections cost extra?
- Value for money: What exactly is included in the price? A low entry price can become more expensive when add-ons are required.
What professional application services typically cost is covered in our article Having your application written: Cost overview.
When is an application service worth it?
Not everyone needs professional help. Here is an honest assessment:
- Your documents are outdated and you are not getting interview invitations
- You are changing industries and need a new positioning
- You are coming from abroad and need help with German application standards
- You have little time alongside your current job
- You want to make sure your CV passes through ATS systems
- You just need a better layout — free templates will do
- You expect a job guarantee — no service can promise that
- Your budget is very tight — invest in further training instead
- You are applying internally and the employer already knows you
