Looking for a Simplify Alternative in the UK?

Simplify is popular for its auto-fill Chrome extension — but it's US-centric, dollar-priced, and not well-suited to UK job boards like Reed or Totaljobs. If you want a job tracker that's GBP-priced, available on your phone, and built with UK job seekers in mind, here's how My Job Trackr compares.

Why UK Job Seekers Look for a Simplify Alternative

Simplify's Chrome extension is its standout feature — it auto-fills application forms when you apply to jobs. That's genuinely useful if you're applying to a lot of US tech companies. But for most UK job seekers, there are a few sticking points:

  • The auto-fill doesn't work well on UK job boards. Simplify is built around US company career pages and ATS platforms common in the US. Reed, Totaljobs, Gradcracker, and direct company pages in the UK are a different story.
  • Dollar pricing. Simplify charges in USD. My Job Trackr is £2.99/month in GBP — no exchange rate surprises, no foreign transaction fees.
  • No mobile app. Like most of its competitors, Simplify is web-only. My Job Trackr has native iOS and Android apps so you can manage your search from your phone.
  • No deadline reminders. Simplify tracks that you've applied but doesn't prompt you to follow up. My Job Trackr's reminder system means you never lose track of when to chase a recruiter.

My Job Trackr is free to start — no credit card required. Pro plans are £2.99/month with unlimited tracking, deadline reminders, offer comparison, and full mobile app access.

What You Get with My Job Trackr Instead

My Job Trackr won't auto-fill application forms — that's the honest trade-off. What it does do is give you a proper dashboard to manage your entire job search, with features that go beyond just logging that you've applied:

  • Full application tracking from first click through to offer or rejection
  • Interview scheduling and stage tracking in one place
  • Deadline reminders so you follow up at exactly the right time
  • Offer comparison when you get to the final stage
  • Native iOS and Android apps — manage your search anywhere
  • GBP pricing — no currency surprises

If you're managing a serious job search — whether that's trying to land more interviews or keeping track of multiple graduate scheme applications simultaneously — having one clear place to see your whole pipeline is more useful than auto-fill.

The Bottom Line

If you apply primarily to US tech companies and want fast form auto-fill, Simplify has an edge. But if you're job hunting in the UK — using Reed, Totaljobs, LinkedIn, or direct applications — and you want a tracker that's actually built for that, My Job Trackr is a better fit.
