Auto Apply vs. Autofill: What Changes?
Products described as job-application automation do different amounts of work. The key distinction is who chooses the job and who makes the final submission.
Autofill assists a form you opened
An autofill tool inserts saved details into fields on an application page. You normally find the job, inspect the answers, and click Submit yourself. It saves repeated typing but does not necessarily search or apply in the background.
Auto apply can submit for you
An auto-apply service can search for jobs that match your preferences and submit supported applications under the permissions you give it. Check its controls for job selection, document tailoring, exclusions, application history, and what happens when a form needs a personal answer.
Choose the level of control you want
If you want to review every application, look for an approval step. If you want background submissions, make your preferences and saved answers accurate and review the resulting application record. Different products use these terms differently, so read the actual workflow.
