Jobscan vs JustApply: Which Tool is Right for Denmark?
Jobscan optimises your CV for ATS systems. Just Apply helps you find and track opportunities with company context. Here is how to decide which to use.
Jobscan and Just Apply solve different parts of the job search problem. Here is a clear breakdown.
What Jobscan Does
Jobscan is an ATS optimisation tool. You paste in a job description and your resume, and it gives you a match score plus specific recommendations for improving keyword alignment. It is not a job board. It does not aggregate listings or give you company intelligence.
Jobscan is best used after you have already found a role you want to apply for, to check how well your CV aligns before submitting.
What Just Apply Does
Just Apply is a job discovery and research platform focused on Denmark. It pulls listings from LinkedIn, Jobindex, company career pages, and ATS sources — then enriches each company with intelligence including open job count, Trustpilot score, tech stack, and a door score (signal of hiring activity).
Just Apply is best used for finding and evaluating opportunities — building a shortlist of companies worth targeting.

| Feature | Jobscan | Just Apply | |---------|---------|------------| | Job discovery | ✗ | ✓ | | ATS match scoring | ✓ | ✗ | | Company intelligence | ✗ | ✓ | | Resume analysis | ✓ | ✗ | | Denmark-specific | ✗ | ✓ | | Free tier | Limited | ✓ |
When to Use Both
The tools are complementary, not competing. Use Just Apply to build your target list and discover quality opportunities. Use Jobscan to check your CV before you submit to each role. Together they cover discovery, research, and submission optimisation.
The Bottom Line
If you are only using one tool: Just Apply gives you more strategic leverage earlier in the process. Finding the right opportunities to apply to is the biggest leverage point in most job searches — better than optimising a CV for roles that were never a strong fit.
