Hiredeck for Apple devices. CoBlack for any browser

What Hiredeck built

Hiredeck is operated by Fernix LLC of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The App Store listing, HireDeck: Auto Apply to Jobs, was first released on August 16, 2026. It requires iOS 16.4 or later on iPhone, and the listing says the iPad app also runs on Macs with an Apple M1 chip or later, and on Apple Vision. I found no Android app on Google Play. The website describes Hiredeck as “Private early access”.

Hiredeck’s llms.txt is plain about its stage: “Hiredeck is pre-launch. It does not publish user counts, ratings, or testimonials.” Saying so unprompted is the right way to launch, and the honest frame for any Hiredeck vs CoBlack comparison.

One disclosure first. CoBlack sells a competing product, and I run CoBlack.

How Hiredeck applies, and what it costs

The product is a deck of jobs you swipe through. For each right swipe, Hiredeck writes a resume and cover letter for that job. You review them. Then it completes and submits the employer’s form. The App Store listing says: “Review before send is the default. Automatic sending is an opt-in setting you can switch on, and off, at any time.”

According to llms.txt, “It only automates on Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, the three ATS platforms it can reliably complete; jobs on other systems never appear in the deck.” The App Store describes the jobs as “mostly tech and startup companies, with roles across the US, UK and Europe, plus remote”. When a form needs a person, the listing says, Hiredeck links you to it, and “An application is never shown as sent when it wasn’t.”

Pricing is by credit. The support page says credit packs are one-time purchases of 200, 400, 600 or 800 applications and “they never expire.” The homepage FAQ adds that “Sending an application uses one credit, charged only when the submission succeeds.” The App Store lists packs at 200 for $24.99, 400 for $39.99, 600 for $54.99 and 800 for $69.99, and the app in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish.

Where CoBlack stands

CoBlack runs in the browser, including on phones. There is no iOS or Android app to install; it works on an Android phone, a Windows or Mac laptop, a Chromebook or an iPhone. That is the whole argument of this article.

Auto Apply works while the member is offline, with no review screen, no final click and no extension. CoBlack applies only to openings that score 60 percent or higher. Each application gets a resume generated for that opening.

CoBlack applies in the US and Canada. A campaign is set by target role, location and salary, one country per campaign, with 3 active campaigns on every plan. Point is $0 with no card, up to 30 applications a month, about one a day. Vector is $19.99 a month for up to 200. Matrix is $39.99 a month for up to 400.

Several points go to Hiredeck. It charges only on success, its packs never expire, and its larger packs cost less per application than a CoBlack plan. It covers the UK and Europe; CoBlack covers the US and Canada. When a form needs a person, it hands it back with a link, and it runs in five languages.

Who each one fits

If you are on an iPhone or iPad looking at tech and startup roles, including in the UK or Europe, Hiredeck gives you a swipe deck, a review step by default, and credits that never expire and are charged only on success.

If you search from an Android phone, a Windows laptop or a Chromebook, or want applications going out while you are offline by default, CoBlack gives you a browser product with a free tier, 3 campaigns across the US and Canada, and plans of up to 200 or 400 applications a month.
