TL;DR
LazyApply is the volume specialist for three big boards; workzil is the all-in-one workspace for the wider 50+ board market.
- Use Workzil if you want one workspace covering apply, tracker, interview rehearsal, and market intel.
- Use LazyApply if solo applicants who want raw auto-apply volume on linkedin/indeed/ziprecruiter and already have their own resume and tracker.
- Use both if you specifically value LazyApply's strongest single feature and want Workzil to handle the rest of the workflow.

When to choose Workzil
Pick workzil when you would otherwise pay for an apply bot, a Kanban tracker, an interview-prep app, and a resume builder separately. A user we will call Anders is mid-career, applying to ~40 roles a week, and was juggling LazyApply for submissions, a spreadsheet for tracking, and Resume.io for templates — collapsing the stack into workzil saved roughly two hours per week and one paid subscription.
Workzil also wins when you want assisted apply with a confirmation step instead of fully unattended submission — that lets you stay inside Chrome Web Store policy and keeps the recruiter-facing application quality honest.
When to choose LazyApply
Pick LazyApply when raw daily volume on LinkedIn / Indeed / ZipRecruiter is your only metric, you already have a resume you trust, and you do not want a tracker. The one-time lifetime pricing (vs. workzil's monthly Pro tier) is genuinely attractive for long horizons.
LazyApply also has the longer track record in the auto-apply category specifically — if you only need that one feature and want the most battle-tested option, it is a reasonable pick.

What users say about LazyApply
Users on the LazyApply Chrome Web Store listing frequently mention the high daily-application throughput and the one-time pricing model. Common critique themes across Reddit and Trustpilot threads center on shallow per-application customization and occasional ATS form mismatches — both expected trade-offs for a high-volume bot. (TODO: source 1-2 named reviewer quotes from G2/Trustpilot once available.)
