Why is this offer so affordable?
Our mission is to make professional CV creation accessible to everyone in Switzerland, especially students, jobseekers, apprentices and ORP/RAV beneficiaries. Our costs are compressed through a direct model (no middlemen) and efficient infrastructure. Compare: Zety charges 2.95-7.95 USD then 23.70 USD/month, Resume.io 2.95 USD then 23.95 USD/month, Canva Pro 11.99 CHF/month. At 1 CHF/month without commitment, CV Builder is up to 23 times cheaper for equivalent quality and Swiss market fit.
Start risk-free, pay only if you export
You build your CV for free in minutes. If not convinced, you never pay. If you decide to export in PDF (to send to a recruiter or submit via ATS), the 1 CHF/month subscription activates. You can cancel immediately after export if you do not wish to continue. Full transparency.
