Same idea.
Different bets.
Sprout and JobSwitch are converging on the same product shape. Both tailor your resume for each role, both generate a cover letter, and both let you review the application before it goes out. If you've read claims that one of us applies without your review and the other doesn't, that isn't the real difference.
The real differences are practical. Where you use it (WhatsApp vs. their mobile app). How you pay (free during our beta vs. $$19.99–$$79.99 a month on Sprout). Which job market is the primary one (India vs. US). And — honestly — maturity: Sprout has 750,000+ users and years of iteration. We're in beta and launching soon. We'll get better quickly, but today they're the more polished product.
One small honesty note: during beta we cap free applications at 30 per month — roughly one per business day. It's a cost-control measure, not a permanent product decision. The paid tier won't be priced per-application.

When Sprout is the better choice
Sprout is the better choice today if you're applying to roles outside India, want a dedicated mobile app you already know how to use, and need something battle-tested by hundreds of thousands of users. The "Tinder for jobs" swipe interface, the iOS and Android apps, the App Store reviews — all real, all here now.
They also have years of iteration on the tailoring pipeline that we're still polishing. If you need a tool that's mature today, not catching up this quarter, Sprout is the reasonable pick.
JobSwitch's bet is narrower and earlier. WhatsApp instead of another app. India-first job sources. Free during beta (capped at 30 applications a month for fairness), and a permanent discount for beta users when paid plans land.
We aren't pretending to be more mature than Sprout. We're betting that for candidates in India who'd rather not download a new app or ration applications by month, the trade-off is worth being early on. If that sounds like you, try us on WhatsApp.
Free during beta. No credit card.
