The software that they use to walk you through the cover letter building process is very nicely done. Unfortunately, they lead you to believe that the service is initially free until you have spent all the time building your document. Once it is finished you realized that you are locked out of actually using it unless you sign up for a recurring payment of $40 per month, which they sneakily phrase as $10 per week. That idea that someone would pay $40 per month to store a resume or cover letter is just absurd with so many actually free alternatives. It's a shame to see an admittedly good product ruined by shading business practices.
Dear Eric,

We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings, if service is no longer needed.
