Which Kickresume number is the builder
The $30 proofreading line is easy to mix up with the subscription. On the check date it was a grammar add-on. The builder plans were the $24 monthly charge, the $54 quarterly charge, and the $96 yearly charge.
FairCV does not sell a proofreading pass. The paid part of FairCV is the clean export: $4 once, or $14 for 30 days.
