Applysent vs Tsenta

Who wrote this comparison

We make Applysent, so weigh this comparison accordingly. Tsenta details come from tsenta.com, its pricing page and terms, and its Y Combinator profile, all checked on 10 October 2026.

Tsenta and Applysent are close in spirit. Both act as an agent that finds roles and submits the employer's real form, both let you approve before anything goes out, and both refund applications that never reach the employer. The gaps are coverage, surfaces and price transparency.

Feature and pricing table

How each one works

Tsenta

Tsenta describes itself as an AI career agent. It matches jobs, drafts a tailored résumé and cover letter, and its agent opens and submits the application. By default you approve before sending, and its FAQ says you can switch to more automated behaviour in settings. You can drive it from a web dashboard, phone apps, a Chrome extension, messaging apps, or an MCP server if you use AI agents yourself.

Its terms make the user solely responsible for reviewing and approving AI-generated content, which is a fair reminder for any tool in this category. Its FAQ also says it does not promise that automated help is undetectable.

Applysent

Applysent works from your résumé and filters: titles, contract type, remote or on-site, locations, salary floor, seniority and sponsorship. It scores each role, tailors your résumé to the posting, completes the employer's own form and records every field it filled in. You can switch between review mode and Autopilot, or pause, at any time.

If you want to understand the difference between an agent that submits and an extension that only fills, our guide on auto-apply vs autofill extensions walks through it. Tsenta offers both styles, which is one of its strengths.

Pros and cons

Tsenta pros

• Broad hiring-system list today, including Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Jobvite and SmartRecruiters.
• Clear published pricing, with a low entry plan at $19 a month for 600 applications per cycle (checked October 2026).
• Free tier of 25 applications with résumé and cover-letter tailoring included.
• Many ways to use it: phone apps, browser extension, chat apps and agent tooling.
• A generous refund rule for applications: if it did not reach the employer, it does not count.

Tsenta cons

• Unused allowance does not roll over at the end of a cycle, per its pricing page.
• Its own pages give different counts of supported systems (19 on the homepage, 30+ on pricing).
• Supported countries are not stated on its site.
• Exact quarterly and annual prices are not listed, only that they are up to 36% cheaper.
• A very young company: founded in 2026, with a team of two per its YC profile.

Applysent pros

• A receipt for every application, showing where it went and each answer written.
• Right-to-work answers set once and reused, which helps with visa sponsorship roles.
• Salary floor filter that skips roles below it or with pay in another currency.
• Optional dedicated application inbox; it never emails from your own account.
• An access code lets you start straight away during invite-only early access.

Applysent cons

• Ten hiring systems live today, short of Tsenta's list of 19.
• No Workday or Greenhouse yet; both are on the coming-soon list.
• No browser extension, native app or chat-app access.
• Paid pricing not announced, so you cannot compare cost per application yet.
• New, with no public track record to point to.

Coverage is the main difference

Large employers often run Workday, and many US companies use Greenhouse or iCIMS. If your list is full of those names, Tsenta can reach them today and Applysent cannot. Check our Workday and Greenhouse pages for the current status.

If your list leans towards startups and scale-ups on Lever, Ashby or Workable, the coverage gap matters less, and the choice comes down to the receipt, filters and how you prefer to work.

Who should pick which

• Choose Tsenta if you want enterprise-system coverage now, like working from a browser extension or messaging app, or want a known monthly price today.
• Choose Applysent if you mainly target companies on its 10 live systems, want a full written record of every submission, or want strict salary and sponsorship filters applied before anything is sent.
• If you cannot decide, try Tsenta's 25 free applications and join the Applysent waitlist (or use an access code), then compare what each submits on the same handful of roles.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Tsenta cost?

Its pricing page lists Free (25 applications total), Starter at $19 a month, Pro at $39 a month and Power at $99 a month, checked October 2026. Quarterly and annual billing are cheaper.

Does Applysent have a Chrome extension like Tsenta?

No. Applysent runs as a web app and submits the employer's form for you, so there is nothing to install.

Do both tools refund failed applications?

Yes. Tsenta says applications that did not reach the employer do not count, and Applysent refunds a failed submission to your balance automatically.

Does either tool apply through LinkedIn?

Applysent does not use LinkedIn Easy Apply. LinkedIn is not among the systems named on Tsenta's pricing page. See our LinkedIn alternative page for how Applysent works instead.

Do both write cover letters?

Tsenta tailors a cover letter per role on every tier. Applysent writes a short one when the employer's form asks for it; see our guide on cover letters on application forms.
