I am awful at CV formatting, and this was just what I needed to put together a tailored CV that looked professional. Super intuitive, and great designs.
It really makes you think about yourself and gain genuine insight into your strengths—and how to draw on them effectively. Fantastic tool.
Very easy to use and clear. Lots of formats. Very helpful and supportive for ideas for CV's

Tested my CV for a small fee
Tested my CV for a small fee. However it signs you up for a subscription at 16.99 per month. However when you try to cancel, you cannot login to your account or reset your password. This is why you cannot cancel your membership. I have now been trying for 4 months.
The response to my review on Trust Pilot has arrived before any help from customer service.

HI Stephanie
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review — I’m sorry to hear about the frustration this has caused.
When signing up to test your CV, the subscription details are shown during checkout, and customers can cancel their membership at any time directly from within their account. If you’re unable to log in, passwords can be reset from the login page using the “forgot password” option.
That said, if this hasn’t been working for you, that’s clearly not acceptable — especially if you’ve been trying to resolve this for several months. Please email me directly at customer.support@standout-cv.com
with the email address used on your account, and I’ll make sure the subscription is cancelled and everything is sorted for you promptly.
Thanks again for raising this, and I hope we can resolve it quickly for you.
Best regards,
David

Charging £16 without any consent
Charging £16 without any consent. I paid over £2 for CV preparation once and thought it would be the end until to my big surprise I saw a £16 charge out of the blue. This looks like a scam.

Hi Aura, sorry for any misunderstanding but it seems you signed up for our monthly plan, which you would have seen the details for at the plan-selection page and the checkout (see full pricing details here: https://standout-cv.com/cv-builder-pricing)
If you contact me on customer.support@standout-cv.com I'll do my best to resolve this for you. You can of course cancel your subscription at any time from within your account in the meantime

Misleading charges
The service itself is good, but the charges are not presented clearly. I thought I had purchased a "14-day Full Access" at £2.70, only to discover at the end of the period that this was a trial and I was automatically enrolled into a monthly plan and charged £16.95. Please call a trial a trial and make more explit in your communication that people are subscribing to a monthly service. Extremly disappointed.

Hi Davide, sorry for any misunderstanding, but it seems though you signed up for our monthly subscription - full details are here on our pricing page: https://standout-cv.com/about/cv-builder-pricing. You would also have been shown the details of the plan twice during the process + have the option to cancel at any time within your account.
If you need any further support - please contact me at customer.support@standout-cv.com
Thanks

Avoid ! The 14 day free trial is not free…
I used the 14 day free trial and tried to cancel but the website will not recognise my log in details. It would not send the "forgot password" email making it impossible to cancel.
They have now taken 3 payments for a service that is impossible to use.
I am raising a dispute with my bank as I refuse to pay for a service I am not using.
Looking at other reviews it seems this is a way to fleece customers, as the site makes you put card details in for the 14 day FREE trial but then blocks you out of the system so you are unable to cancel.
I wonder how many people they are drawing £15 a month from?

Hi there. Sorry to hear of your frustration.
As explained via email, we don’t offer a free trial - you signed up to our 14-day trial for £2.70, which then renews at £16.95 every 4 weeks and can be cancelled anytime. Subscription details are shown twice at sign-up and also here: https://standout-cv.com/cv-builder-pricing.
We cancelled your subscription immediately upon request and refunded your most recent payment.
Hope thats an agreeable solution
Regards
David Atkins, Customer Support
⚠️ Warning: Predatory Subscription Trap ⚠️
I want to caution others about the deceptive subscription practices I experienced with StandOutCV.
I signed up for a 14-day trial in 2024 and remenber that I cancelled it after trial. After 7 months I found that they are taking their suscrption from me on the background, while I never used it again.
When I raised this issue and asked for a refund, StandOutCV refused, showing no regard for fairness or consumer rights.
After this teible problem, I had to buy one months suscription and asked them to give me one month for free to compensate 5 months payment, but they refused.
This company appears to thrive on exploiting customers who lose track of their subscriptions. Hidden cancellation policies, limited invoices, and lack of transparency are not the practices of an honest business—they are tactics to trap users into ongoing payments.
👉 My advice: stay far away from StandOutCV.

Hi Mohammad. Sorry to hear you’re unhappy. As explained via email, you signed up to our 14-day trial January 2025 which auto-renews into a four-weekly subscription unless cancelled. Subscription details were clearly displayed at sign-up, checkout, and can always be viewed here: https://standout-cv.com/about/cv-builder-pricing. Your subscription was not cancelled until 2nd September 2025, when you contacted us and we cancelled it immediately on your behalf. You then chose to re-subscribe on 3rd September, and as you are only one day into this 28-day term, we cannot provide additional free months. Subscriptions can also be cancelled at any time from within your account, using the steps shown here: https://standout-cv.com/cancel-standout-cv-builder-subscription.
