The verdict
If you are looking for a CV formatting tool that goes beyond basic formatting, Saply is the stronger choice. It processes CVs in under 2 minutes, and offers CV tailoring, candidate matching, an AI agent, email-based processing, Word and Google Docs plugins, and notes integration that Allsorter does not have, all running fully GDPR compliant within the EU with zero data retention.
Allsorter is an established platform with solid formatting capabilities, but it lacks the tailoring and matching features that help recruiters present better candidates. AI features are gated behind premium plans, and it does not support common CV formats like Word documents or scanned images.
The bottom line: Saply gives your recruiters their time back and helps them present better candidates, faster.
