# FolioX vs Novoresume: Resume-only or portfolio plus resume?

Novoresume is a resume and cover letter builder with visually polished templates and guided content suggestions. FolioX is a portfolio and ATS resume platform where one profile powers both a live website and a downloadable PDF, without maintaining two separate documents.

Novoresume is one of the better resume builders for template quality. If you are a designer or someone in a role where visual resumes are accepted, it is solid. Where it falls short is the portfolio side: hiring managers increasingly want to see live proof of work, not just bullet points. FolioX covers both without adding another subscription.

Job seekers, developers, and designers who need portfolio proof of work alongside an ATS-formatted resume.

## Novoresume is best for

Applicants who only need a resume document, especially those who also need a cover letter builder in the same workflow.

## Switching from Novoresume

Download your Novoresume PDF and upload it to FolioX onboarding to autofill your profile. Then add project cards, links, and any portfolio widgets. Your FolioX link replaces the attachment for most applications.

## Verdict

## FAQ

### Is Novoresume ATS-friendly?

Novoresume offers both ATS-friendly and visually designed templates. Their visual templates with graphics and columns can confuse ATS parsers. FolioX focuses exclusively on ATS-safe single-column layouts to reduce that risk.

### Can I use FolioX if I also need a cover letter?

FolioX does not include a cover letter builder. If you need one, Novoresume or Zety include that. You can use FolioX for portfolio and resume and a separate free tool for cover letters.

### Is FolioX free to try?

Yes. FolioX Free publishes your portfolio at foliox.me/username at no cost, with limited PDF exports. The 7-day trial includes analytics, PDF exports, and AI tools (no credit card). Custom domain requires paid Pro at $9/mo or $79 lifetime.
