FAQ
Everything you need to know before starting.
How it works
HintCraft brings job-search strategies, company research, professional stories, interview preparation, and application tracking together. You can work from your recorded experience and keep useful preparation connected to your search. AI helps draft answers; you review and refine them.
The strategies and preparation tools can support professionals pursuing permanent roles, contracts, or a future career move. You work with your own experience and target opportunities. The company and agency databases have a particular focus on remote work and technology recruitment.
1,000+ remote-friendly companies across the US, EU, UK, and worldwide remote roles. Curated by humans, not scraped. Filter by region, company size, and country. Refreshed continuously, not by a quarterly batch job. The pipeline, AI answers, and Playbook work for product, design, engineering, data, and marketing roles. The system has been used to land roles in Berlin, Lisbon, Austin, Warsaw, and remote-from-anywhere.
Your account continues on the Free plan. Everything you prepared stays in your account to read and download, and you keep your profile, your CV, and your contacts and companies current. AI assistance is part of the paid plans, and Free opens one job-search strategy. There is no automatic charge when the trial ends. Account inactivity and retention conditions are described in our Privacy Policy.
No. The plan ends when it ends. After that, your account stays open on the Free tier, no payment, no card, no countdown. Profile, stories, every application, every answer you wrote, every note. All there. Read access to everything you built, forever. New AI generations and bulk activity need an active plan again, but only when you start a new search. Think LinkedIn Premium: pay when you are hunting, coast on Free between hunts.
Pricing, trials, and your data
You get 7 days of Essential access without providing a credit card. Build your profile, develop your stories, prepare your answers to the general questions, tailor a CV, and analyse your fit for a role. 2 job-search strategies open during the trial, and the full catalogue, custom question sets and custom questions come with a paid plan.
Two plans. Essential at $189 for three months: profile, AI answers, application pipeline, fifty curated companies. Remote Pro at $299 for three months: everything in Essential plus the full database of 1,000+ vetted remote-friendly companies. The buyer math is unforgiving in your favor. One more idle month of search costs roughly $9,000 in foregone salary at $110K. Either plan costs two to three percent of that. If a single saved week is worth more than the price, the math is already done.
Your remaining Essential days convert to Remote Pro at a prorated rate. Remote Pro activates immediately. You do not lose any time you already paid for.
Essential is queued and activates automatically the day Remote Pro expires. You do not need to do anything. The scheduled activation date is shown on your Account page.
Yes. Upgrading to Remote Pro is instant; your remaining days carry over. Buying Essential while on Remote Pro queues it to activate when Remote Pro ends. Access is never interrupted.
Not for partially used periods. But there is also nothing to refund, in the usual sense. We do not auto-renew, do not charge hidden fees, and do not bill you a second time. The plan runs for the period you chose, then stops. The thing most refunds exist to undo (a charge you did not see coming) does not happen here.
