Simplify is best known as a browser extension that auto-fills job applications — and it does that well. But when it comes to actually tracking your job search, its capabilities are basic. Fusso pairs a real Kanban board, follow-up reminders, and salary comparison with a clean interface. See our full guide to the best job application trackers for more context.

Simplify's core strength is auto-filling applications, not tracking them. Its tracking features are basic — you can log applications, but you won't find the depth that a serious job search demands. Fusso is purpose-built for tracking, with a Kanban board that lets you move applications through custom stages, follow-up reminders so you never miss a check-in, and salary comparison to weigh offers side by side.
The Kanban view is where Fusso really shines. Instead of a flat list, you get a visual pipeline of your entire job search at a glance. You can see exactly which companies are in which stage, spot bottlenecks, and prioritize your next move. That level of organization is hard to replicate with Simplify's basic tracking.
Follow-up reminders are another differentiator. A job search involves a lot of waiting — for responses, for interviews, for decisions. Fusso tracks each application's timeline and reminds you when it's time to follow up. Simplify doesn't offer that kind of proactive support, so it's easy for opportunities to slip through the cracks.
And because Fusso is a dedicated tracker rather than an add-on to an auto-fill tool, it keeps your data organized and portable with CSV/JSON export on the Pro plan. You get real tracking depth without the complexity of a general-purpose tool.
Simplify is genuinely excellent at what it's designed for: speeding up the application process. Its browser extension auto-fills forms and helps you apply to jobs faster, which can save you significant time when you're submitting many applications. It's also free, which makes it an easy add-on for any job seeker.
The catch is that auto-fill and tracking are different jobs. Simplify handles the former well but is thin on the latter. If you want a tool that both speeds up applications and gives you a real tracking pipeline, you're better off pairing Simplify's auto-fill with Fusso for the tracking — or just using Fusso on its own.
Simplify is free to use, which is a real advantage for its auto-fill features. Fusso also offers a free tier that supports up to 15 active applications, and a Pro plan at $9.99 per month for unlimited tracking, email reminders, and CSV/JSON export. If you need real tracking depth, Fusso's free tier already covers a focused search — and Pro is a small price for unlimited organization.
