PursuitCI Ranks 500+ Certifications by What They Actually Pay – and Makes It Free

New career intelligence platform publishes salary lift, cost and employer demand for professional credentials, then provides the practice quizzes to earn them and the live jobs hiring for them.

Orlando, FL – Every year, millions of working professionals are told the same thing: get certified. Almost none of them are told which one.

A professional certification can cost a four-figure exam fee and six months of nights and weekends. Yet the only parties publishing an opinion on whether a given credential is worth that investment are, in most cases, the organizations selling the exam.

PursuitCI, a Florida-based career intelligence platform, has published the answer for free. The platform ranks more than 500 professional certifications by the salary lift they actually produce — using real salary data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — alongside what each credential costs, how strongly employers are demanding it, and how long it takes to pay for itself.

“I went looking for which certification was actually worth it and there was no straight answer anywhere — just marketing from the people selling the exams,” said Mario F., founder of PursuitCI. “That’s the thing we set out to fix.”

The rankings span cloud and IT credentials from AWS, Microsoft Azure, Cisco, CompTIA, Google Cloud, Red Hat, Oracle and IBM, as well as project management, healthcare, finance and the skilled trades.

From decision to credential to job

PursuitCI’s approach is to close the loop rather than stop at the recommendation. Once a user identifies a credential worth pursuing, the platform provides more than 80 practice quizzes drawn from a library of over 12,000 questions. Free accounts include daily practice questions; the paid tier unlocks unlimited practice and timed mock exams.

From there, users can see which employers are actively hiring for that credential and what those roles pay, drawing on more than 500,000 live job listings across over 16,000 companies, refreshed continuously.

Making the invisible part of hiring visible

The platform applies the same principle to resumes. Most applications are parsed by applicant tracking software before a person reads them, and candidates rarely learn how that software interpreted their document.

PursuitCI’s free ATS checker scores a resume the way those systems read it and names the specific issues that cause resumes to be filtered out — unreadable formatting, missing keywords, dates that don’t parse. Its resume builder offers 30 templates engineered to avoid those failure modes entirely, with no skill bars, no headshots and no text embedded in graphics, and a score that updates live as the user types.

“You can write a great resume and still have the formatting work against you before anyone reads it,” said Mario F. “That part is invisible to most people, so we made it visible.”

Availability and pricing

PursuitCI is available on the web at pursuitci.com and on Google Play. A separate Chrome extension, Autopilot, automatically fills out online job applications from a saved profile; it is a desktop browser feature and is not part of the mobile app.

The free plan requires no credit card and includes job search, the resume builder, the cover letter tool, the ATS checker and daily practice questions. Pro is $24.99 for three months — roughly $8.33 per month — or $14.99 monthly and $89.99 annually. Every first subscription carries a 14-day money-back guarantee. The platform currently holds a 5.0 rating on Trustpilot.

About PursuitCI

PursuitCI is a Florida-based career intelligence platform, launched in 2025. It exists because the information that decides whether someone gets ahead — which credential raises pay, how a resume is read by software before a human sees it, who’s hiring right now — is either locked behind paid tools or sold to people by the parties with the most to gain from the answer. PursuitCI brings that information into one place and keeps the essential tools free.
