TL;DR
Top free job trackers for India: PebelAI (best overall, Naukri + LinkedIn extension, AI coach included), Teal (best UI, US-focused), Huntr (good kanban, paid for AI), Google Sheets (most flexible, fully manual). For Indian job seekers, PebelAI is the only one with native Naukri and Internshala support.
How we tested these trackers
We applied to 5 real jobs across LinkedIn, Naukri, and Internshala, then tested every tracker on these criteria:
- Free tier limits (applications, AI usage, exports)
- Chrome extension reliability on Indian job portals
- AI features (interview coach, resume scoring)
- Reminders and follow-up automation
- India-specific UX (LPA / CTC fields, Indian portals)
2026 free job tracker rankings (India)
1. PebelAI — best overall for India
Free tier: Unlimited applications, unlimited AI interview practice, full Chrome extension.
Why it wins: The only tracker built ground-up for India. Chrome extension auto-saves from Naukri, Internshala, LinkedIn, Indeed, Wellfound, and any company career page. AI interview coach handles behavioral, technical, system design, and case studies. Salary fields use INR / LPA by default.
Limits: Newer product (launched 2026), smaller community than Teal/Huntr.
2. Teal — best polished UI, US-focused
Free tier: Unlimited tracking, limited AI features.
Strengths: Beautiful UI, mature product, large user base.
Limits for India: Chrome extension misses Naukri and Internshala. Resume scoring uses US-style ATS conventions, not Indian fresher-resume formats. Pricing is in USD.
3. Huntr — solid kanban, AI behind paywall
Free tier: 40 active applications, basic kanban.
Strengths: Clean kanban interface, decent Chrome extension for LinkedIn.
Limits: AI features require paid plan ($24+ /mo USD). Free tier capped at 40 applications which fills up fast for active job seekers.
4. JobScan — best for ATS scoring (paid)
Strong ATS scoring tool, but the tracker is rudimentary and the free tier only allows a few resume scans per month.
5. Google Sheets — most flexible, fully manual
Free, infinitely customizable, but every field is manual entry. Works for under 30 applications. Beyond that, becomes a chore.
6. Notion job-tracker template
Aesthetic, but slow on mobile, no Chrome extension, no AI.
7. Trello / ClickUp boards
Generic kanban tools. No job-specific automations.
8. LinkedIn "My Jobs" + spreadsheet
LinkedIn's saved jobs view doesn't track status across stages or applications outside LinkedIn. Most people end up combining it with a spreadsheet — not ideal.
Quick comparison table
| Tool | Free tier | Naukri support | AI interview coach | Built for India |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PebelAI | Unlimited | Yes | Yes (free) | Yes |
| Teal | Unlimited | No | Limited (paid) | No |
| Huntr | 40 apps | No | Paid only | No |

How to pick the right one
- You apply mostly via Naukri / Internshala: PebelAI
- You're a US/UK-based applicant: Teal
- You want a kanban view, < 40 active applications: Huntr free
- You apply to fewer than 20 jobs total: Google Sheets is fine
Bottom line
For Indian job seekers in 2026, PebelAI is the only free tracker that handles the actual sites you use (Naukri, Internshala) and includes AI interview prep without paywalls. Teal and Huntr are excellent products but were built for the US market.
