AutoApplyMax auto-applies on LinkedIn. CoBlack auto-applies on Greenhouse

What AutoApplyMax does

AutoApplyMax is a Chrome extension with a web dashboard. It says it was founded in 2026, used to be called EasyApplyMax, and shipped extension version 2.5.56 on 14 August 2026.

The most interesting thing it publishes is not a feature. It is a file. At autoapplymax.com/llms.txt the company keeps a machine-readable document written for AI assistants. It states: “The auto-apply engine automates the FULL application workflow on LinkedIn Easy Apply jobs only.” On every other platform, the same document says, “nothing is auto-submitted on these platforms.” It carries an accuracy statement: “Auto-apply refers exclusively to LinkedIn Easy Apply.”

A company writing a public document to stop AI assistants from overstating its own product is uncommon. It works against the company’s marketing interest. AutoApplyMax did it anyway, and that deserves credit.

Where the submission happens

The LinkedIn claim holds up in the shipped code. The extension’s LinkedIn adapter locates and clicks the “Submit application” button, and there is no per-application review prompt.

Everywhere else, AutoApplyMax is an autofill tool. The shipped extension manifest lists Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters and Indeed SmartApply, alongside LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor and Welcome to the Jungle. On the ATS platforms it fills the form and the person reviews and submits. Screening questions on those portals get AI-drafted answers, and the user approves each one before it fills the field.

Per-job tailored resumes and cover letters run on credits. One credit buys one tailored resume or one cover letter. AutoApplyMax’s pricing page lists Free at $0, Premium at $6.99 a month and Unlimited at $22.99 a month.

CoBlack made the opposite choice on that review step. Auto Apply is fully autonomous and runs server-side, while the person is offline, with no per-job review step. The submission happens on Greenhouse, the employer’s own applicant tracking system, not on a job board.

What the reviews say

AutoApplyMax holds 4.2 out of 5 on the Chrome Web Store from 12 ratings, with 1,000 users. One review from 18 May 2026 says the tool “genuinely transformed my LinkedIn Easy Apply workflow” and “reduced my application time by 10x.”

CoBlack holds no interview-rate or outcome data of its own and claims no better outcome.

Where CoBlack stands

Greenhouse is CoBlack’s only confirmed submission surface today. It covers roughly 80 percent of the job bank. Ashby and Lever are in progress. That is one submission surface against a much broader autofill list, and it is a real limit.

CoBlack does not source or apply through public job boards, by design. Auto Search continuously reads validated employer career pages and ATS feeds. Auto Resume builds a fresh tailored resume for every individual opening from the person’s Capability Map, inside the apply pipeline.

CoBlack has no standalone cover letter builder. It drafts one only when an employer asks for it. Cover letters are AutoApplyMax’s territory.

When a Greenhouse application hits a verification code wall or bot detection, it goes to a support queue and a human agent completes it by hand.

Plans run from Point at $0 a month with 8 applications, to Vector at $19.99 with 200, to Matrix at $39.99 with 400. Every tier gets 3 campaign slots plus a background Kosmos campaign. AutoApplyMax’s paid entry at $6.99 sits well below Vector at $19.99. Both products have a free tier.

CoBlack competes in this market and publishes this article. Check it against its sources the same way you would check AutoApplyMax’s.

The person each tool fits

AutoApplyMax fits someone who lives on LinkedIn Easy Apply, wants the submit click automated there, and is happy to review and submit on Greenhouse, Workday and the rest. It also fits anyone who wants a cover letter with every application.

CoBlack fits someone who wants applications submitted on employer systems while they are away from the keyboard, accepts that Greenhouse is the surface today, and would rather have a fresh resume built for each opening than buy them with credits.

Both tools remove the per-job click. The choice is whether you want it removed on LinkedIn or on the employer’s own system.
