LazyApply Review: Why It Has a 2.3 on Trustpilot (And What to Use Instead)

Every software category has a cautionary tale. In AI-powered job application tools, that product is LazyApply.

2.3 stars on Trustpilot. 106 reviews, 56% one-star. A parent company that attempted to hide its review history by renaming its Trustpilot profile. Documented cases of the tool submitting incorrect visa status on behalf of users.

The data is unambiguous.

The Quick Verdict

LazyApply is a Chrome extension that automates job applications across Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and other major boards. Users fill out a profile once; the extension handles form submissions at scale. In practice, the tool frequently fails to complete basic form fields, cannot bypass Indeed's captcha protections, has been blacklisted by LinkedIn, and operates a refund process that multiple users describe as nonexistent. At $99-$999/year with no free trial, the financial risk falls entirely on the buyer.

Pricing: Annual Only, No Trial

• Basic -- $99/year (~$8.25/month): 15 applications/day, one resume profile
• Premium -- $149/year (~$12.42/month): 150 applications/day, five profiles, all boards
• Ultimate -- $999/year (~$83.25/month): 1,500 applications/day, 20 profiles, career coaching

No free tier. No free trial. Users must pay the full annual fee before testing whether the extension works with their job boards, resume format, or location.

The Trustpilot Distribution

As of March 2026:

• 1-star: 60 reviews (56%)
• 2-star: 3 (3%)
• 3-star: 1 (1%)
• 4-star: 1 (1%)
• 5-star: 41 (39%)

Virtually no middle ground. Five total reviews between 2 and 4 stars out of 106. User outcomes appear binary: the extension either works for a specific configuration or it does not.

The PEVE VISIONS Incident

In 2025, LazyApply's parent company (PEVE VISIONS, incorporated in Rewa, India) attempted to rename its Trustpilot profile from "LazyApply" to "PEVE VISIONS." The effect would have decoupled the brand from its accumulated negative reviews in search results.

Trustpilot identified and reverted the change. A company confident in its trajectory does not try to orphan its review history.

Technical Failures

Indeed Captcha Blocking

Indeed deploys captcha challenges to prevent automated submissions. Multiple users report LazyApply cannot pass them, rendering the Indeed integration non-functional. For a tool listing Indeed as a primary platform, this is not a minor bug.

Incorrect Form Data

One documented case: the extension incorrectly populated H-1B visa sponsorship status across an entire batch of applications, yielding zero employer responses. This is not a formatting issue -- it is a factual error on a legal question that determines screening-stage interest.

Other reported errors: salary fields populated $20,000 below stated range, middle name fields filled for users who provided none, non-standard fields triggering silent failures, and applications sent to positions entirely outside the user's specified field.

The phrase "silent errors" recurs. The extension does not always notify users when submissions fail or contain incorrect data. Users discover problems only through the absence of responses.

LinkedIn Blacklisting

LazyApply appears on Josef Kadlec's Complete List of Blacklisted LinkedIn Plugins (Volume 3), one of 461 tools flagged for violating LinkedIn's automation policies. LinkedIn's User Agreement Section 8.2 explicitly prohibits automated application tools.

Enforcement: first offense triggers 24-48 hour account restriction; repeated violations lead to permanent deletion. LazyApply operates as a Chrome extension sharing the user's real IP address with no rotation, making unnatural application velocity detectable.

Using LazyApply on LinkedIn risks losing the professional network most users depend on for their career.

Software Instability

One February 2026 reviewer: "Software returns errors. Basic searches do not return anything. Console logs show a 500 internal server error." Another: the software "has only worked properly for me one day out of over 15."

Independent testing by Remote Job Assistant over 21 days confirmed the bimodal pattern.

The Refund Problem

Approximately 25% of Trustpilot reviewers cite refund or cancellation difficulties:

• No cancel button in the account interface
• 30-day guarantee described as "impossible to get"
• Support going silent after initial contact
• Charges persisting after cancellation requests

For a product requiring full annual payment upfront with no trial, this refund friction is a business model issue, not a support issue.

What the 5-Star Reviews Say

The 39% who gave five stars typically describe the Indeed integration working as intended -- form navigation, filling, and submission without manual intervention. One user reported "15 plus interviews" through automated applications.

These outcomes appear genuine. The tool does work for some users, on some platforms, with some resume configurations. The problem is unpredictability before payment, with no refund safety net.

Who Should Avoid LazyApply

Anyone relying on LinkedIn for professional networking (blacklisting risk is documented). Anyone requiring accurate form completion for visa or salary fields. Anyone expecting functional customer support or refund processes. Anyone uncomfortable paying $99-$999 upfront for a product they cannot test.

That covers most job seekers.

The Bottom Line

A 2.3-star rating across 106 reviews is not an accident. It is a consistent pattern: a product that does not reliably execute its core function, sold through a pricing model that collects payment before the user can verify functionality, backed by a refund process that does not consistently honor its own terms.

The PEVE VISIONS renaming attempt was the tell. Rather than fixing the product, the company tried to make the review history harder to find. Trustpilot reversed the change. The reviews remain.
