Free vs Premium Templates
On this page
HyperApply templates are designed for clarity. Some plans include access to premium templates that offer more layout variety and visual polish.
The practical difference
Free templates typically focus on:
- simple layout
- minimal styling
- maximum readability
Premium templates often add:
- more refined typography and spacing
- additional layout options
- stronger visual hierarchy for headings and sections
The goal is not “flashy design”—it’s a CV that looks professional and scans quickly.
When free templates are enough
Stay on a free template if:
- you want the simplest possible layout
- you are applying to roles where clarity matters most
- you want to keep a consistent format across all applications
When premium templates help
Consider premium templates if:
- you’re applying to roles where presentation matters (client-facing, leadership, brand-heavy)
- you want more layout control (spacing, header structure)
- you want to stand out visually while staying professional
Upgrade decision (simple rule)
If your biggest bottleneck is content relevance, upgrade won’t fix that—improve your base CV and workflow first.
If your content is strong and you want better presentation, premium templates can help.
