Setting the stage

We Are Distributed vs. Teal

Round 01 · Tracking

Teal keeps more of each application in one place

Both move a job through stages. Teal attaches follow-up dates, contacts and templates to the job itself.

We Are Distributed's Job Tracker moves each job through six stages: Pending, Applied, Screening, Interviewing, Offer and Closed. Each tracked job has a notes section.

Contacts are kept in a separate tool, and its help centre describes no dedicated reminders in the tracker.

Teal's tracker has six active stages and four closed outcomes. Each job holds a follow-up date, notes, contacts and email templates, with guidance that changes by stage.

All of this comes from Teal's help centre and was not observed in the product, so it counts half.

Round 02 · Saving jobs

Teal's extension saves from far more places

We Are Distributed's extension works on employer careers pages. Teal's works on any page, with automatic capture on the job boards it lists.

We Are Distributed's extension is installed from the Chrome Web Store and adds a save button on employer careers pages. Its help centre names 15 supported platforms, among them Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever and Workable.

No general job boards, such as LinkedIn or Indeed, are named as supported. The extension is included on every plan.

Round 03 · Resume tailoring

Both check a resume against a job; only one could be verified

We Are Distributed's limits were read from its product code. Teal's come from its help centre, which counts half.

We Are Distributed has a Resume Builder and a Resume Analyzer that compares a resume with a tracked job.

On the free plan the builder allows 2 resumes with a watermarked PDF, and the free plan has no full analyzer checks. Those start on Lite, at 10 a month.

Round 04 · Finding roles

We Are Distributed brings you roles you can apply for

Teal has a listings page. We Are Distributed filters its listings by where you can apply from.

Find jobs, inside We Are Distributed's Job Tracker, filters roles by whether you can apply from your location, and is free with an account.

Its AI Career Agent can also search for roles and add up to 10 matches per run to the tracker. Scheduled runs need the Plus plan.
