Overview: Different Tools for Different Needs
Daxtra and iReformat approach the resume problem from opposite ends. Daxtra is a parsing-first platform — it extracts data from resumes, powers search, and includes formatting (Daxtra Styler) as one module in a larger suite. iReformat is a formatting-first tool — it takes resumes and transforms them into branded, client-ready documents using AI.
This matters because the tool you choose depends on your primary pain point. If you need better resume search and data extraction, Daxtra's parsing engine is industry-leading. If you need resumes formatted faster with your agency's branding, iReformat is purpose-built for that.

Parsing vs. Formatting: The Core Difference
Daxtra's DNA is resume parsing — extracting structured data (name, skills, experience, education) from unstructured documents. Their formatting module (Styler) is an add-on that reformats parsed data into templates. This means Daxtra's formatting is only as good as its parsing — if the parser misreads a field, the formatted output inherits that error.
iReformat takes a different approach. Instead of parsing-then-reformatting, it uses AI to understand the resume's layout and content, then applies your branded template while preserving the candidate's original information. This results in fewer data loss issues and more faithful formatting.
Pricing
Daxtra doesn't publish pricing publicly, but based on industry data and customer reports:
- Daxtra: Enterprise pricing starting at $500+/month. Typically bundled with parsing and search modules. Annual contracts common. Per-user or per-resume pricing varies.
- iReformat: Transparent pricing starting well below Daxtra's entry point. Month-to-month available. No long-term contracts required.
Key difference: Daxtra is priced as an enterprise platform. If you only need formatting (not parsing or search), you're paying for capabilities you won't use.

The Bottom Line
Daxtra is a powerful enterprise platform for agencies that need parsing, search, AND formatting in one suite. iReformat is a focused formatting tool for agencies whose primary pain is turning resumes into branded, client-ready documents quickly and affordably. Most small-to-mid agencies (under 50 recruiters) find iReformat delivers everything they need at a fraction of the cost.
