What is the best Chrome extension to autofill job applications in 2026?
jobmeta autofills 11 major ATS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, BambooHR, SmartRecruiters, and more) from a single stored profile. Profile data stays on your device and is only sent when you click Generate. Free for 10 cover letters/month; Pro is $4.99/month. Simplify.jobs covers more ATS platforms (22+) but requires an account and syncs data to their servers.

jobmeta's free tier covers 10 cover letter drafts and 5 match-scores per month across 11 ATS platforms with no account required. It works directly on the job posting page, not through a separate dashboard. For unlimited use, Pro is $4.99/month.

Which job application extensions work with Workday?
