TL;DR

ResumeGenCV: ATS-friendly resume and cover letter templates (free library + premium upgrades), AI-assisted summaries, and experience enhancers that polish what you already write.
Teal: Great job-tracking extras plus many tools; some templates are ATS-safe, others need tweaks to avoid parsing issues.

ResumeGenCV: Every default resume and cover letter template is tuned to pass ATS scanners while keeping modern typography. The free set already gives you multiple ATS-friendly resume/cover-letter starters, and premium unlocks extra templates plus polished cover letters without sacrificing parseability.
Teal: Attractive templates plus job-tracking add-ons. Several resumes use multi-column panels or icons that require manual cleanup for strict ATS checks.

ResumeGenCV: The AI professional summary writer/enhancer ingests your background and turns it into a concise, role-ready summary, while the experience enhancer only touches the job descriptions you provide—so your core ideas remain intact but sharper for ATS readers.
Teal: Helpful prompts for bullets and summaries, but formatting control stays mostly manual; you still need to keep an eye on ATS-unfriendly layouts.

ResumeGenCV: Offers pre-written section starters, templates tuned for both academic and professional industries, and flexible slots to add personal profiles or specialized sections (projects, publications, certifications) without breaking ATS structure.
Teal: Provides modular sections tied to job-tracking but leans on your own content structure; specialized academic templates require more manual assembly and formatting for ATS compatibility.

ResumeGenCV: Wide selection of professionally designed, ATS-optimized resume templates plus cover letters, helpful content suggestions per section, download options (PDF/Word), and a gallery of resume examples for inspiration.
Teal: Rich job-focused tools but fewer curated resume examples; downloads support standard formats, though you still need to manually align content suggestions per section.

ResumeGenCV: Free start; paid tiers cover exports without hidden upsells.
Teal: Free tier is generous; premium adds deeper analysis and job-tracking perks. Watch renewals on weekly/monthly options.
