The short version
Teal is a well-loved resume builder and application tracker with keyword-match scoring — you paste a job description and Teal tells you how well your resume matches it. PursuitRoom works one step earlier and one step wider: it sources openings for you and scores each on five preference dimensions (title, scope, comp, industry, location) plus a resume-fit score — so the question isn't only "does my resume match?" but "is this even worth pursuing?" — then drafts the tailored resume and cover letter on Pro.

Where Teal is stronger
Teal's resume builder is excellent — a clean editor, strong templates, and granular keyword-match feedback against a JD you provide. If your search is "I have the postings; help me sharpen each resume," Teal is purpose-built for it.
Where PursuitRoom is stronger
Teal scores a resume against a job you already found; PursuitRoom finds and scores the jobs themselves, so you start from a ranked shortlist. Every lead gets a five-dimension Match score plus resume-fit — every tier. Pro ($19.99) then adds AI cover letters and per-posting tailored resumes, an "About this company" brief, email-forward and Chrome capture, custom weights, CSV export, and 3 saved searches.
