Is the preview really free?
Yes. You get the opening paragraph completely free, no card required. You only pay $2.99 if you want the full letter.
Will my cover letter sound AI-generated?
No. Our AI is trained to write natural, human-sounding letters that avoid clichés and generic phrases. Each letter is unique and tailored to your specific job and experience.
Can I edit the letter after?
Absolutely. You get the full text that you can copy, paste, and customize however you want.
Do I need to create an account?
No. No signup, no login, no email required. Just fill in the form, pay, and get your letter.
What if I'm not satisfied?
Contact us at contact@postulus.com. We'll either regenerate your letter or refund you. Simple.
Is my data safe?
We don't store your personal information. Your job details are used only to generate your letter and are automatically deleted after 2 hours.
Why Postulus vs. doing it yourself?
DIY and ChatGPT both work, but both cost time or produce generic output. Postulus is prompt-tuned specifically for cover-letter writing, reads the actual job posting, and hands you a tailored draft in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes. See the detailed comparison above.
Does Postulus guarantee I'll get the job?
No. Postulus is a writing assistant, not a job placement service. We generate high-quality, tailored cover letters that give you a strong first impression — but hiring decisions depend on many factors beyond a cover letter: your experience, the interview, company fit, and more. Think of Postulus as giving you the best possible written introduction.
Will my cover letter pass an ATS (applicant tracking system)?
Yes. Postulus writes plain prose — no tables, no images, no weird formatting. When you paste it into the application form or a standard Word document, every ATS on the market parses it cleanly. The JD-aware prompting also means the letter naturally contains the keywords the ATS is looking for.
How long is the cover letter?
Around 300–400 words, structured as a greeting, 2–3 body paragraphs, and a sign-off. That's the length most recruiters expect: short enough to skim in 60 seconds, long enough to make a real case for why you're a fit.
Can I use the same letter for multiple jobs?
Technically yes, but it defeats the purpose. The whole point of Postulus is generating a tailored letter per job — that's why it works. At $2.99 per letter, most people generate a fresh one for every serious application.
Can I use Postulus for internships, grad schemes, or scholarships?
Yes for internships and grad schemes. For scholarships, motivation letters, or personal statements, the output still helps as a first draft but the tone and structure of those documents differs slightly — expect to do more editing than for a cover letter.
What file format do I get?
Plain text in the browser, ready to copy into your favourite editor, the application form, or an email. No downloads required.
Can I generate the letter in a language other than English?
Yes. Postulus supports English, French, Spanish, and German — pick the language in the Preferences step, or leave it on auto-detect and we'll match the job description's language.
