Applume vs Huntr
A free Huntr alternative built for students
Huntr is a solid job-search CRM — but it's job-only, and its free plan caps how much you can track. If you're a student juggling university applications alongside internships and working-student jobs, Applume tracks both in one free workspace.

When Applume is the right pick
- You're applying to degree programs and jobs at the same time - one tracker for both pipelines.
- You're price-sensitive - Applume's tracker is free, with no cap that forces an upgrade mid-season.
- You're switching from a spreadsheet - import your existing sheet as CSV and keep working.
And honestly, when it isn't
Huntr is a mature product with a browser extension, contact tracking, and a job-search CRM feature set that goes deeper on the job-hunt side. If you're a professional running a long job search with networking contacts and you don't mind paying, Huntr is a fair choice. If you're a student tracking applications - especially university ones - Applume covers what you need for free.
