If someone doubles user acquisition in previous company, it may mean a lot of things. Self reporting and attribution issues aside, it may simply mean that there was a really low hanging fruit at previous company when it came to marketing, or whatever.
There are some good text snippets on the linked site, so if your strengths do not lie in written English then it could very well be a helpful resource for how to word things. However, beware the mentality that the only thing standing in the way of your dreams is the perfect one-page summary of your accomplishments to date. A resume is just a marketing document. Economy of prose and short declarative sentences are you…
kinda cool, no where worth 25 dollars/month. myperfectresume has a bunch of lines to, and its free to get inspiration from theres....
I'm guessing that most people who use this service would pay for a month, gussy-up their resume, then stop using it.
That said, I'm with you with not wanting to pay for something like this.
"Impactful" is clunky. "Effective" is what you want. But neither word offers a specific pay-off, which is what you actually want in both a head-line on a site and a bullet-point on a resume.
Lots of numbers in there. I know it's recommended to include them, but it seems a bit meaningless as some predictor for the future job fitness. If someone doubles user acquisition in previous company, it may mean a lot of things.

The "proof of job fitness" comes when you describe how you doubled user acquisition in the actual interview. The person that can elaborate on how and why their ideas increased conversions by 10% and how the testing regime worked for it and how many hours work that represented for how much return is always going to win out over the person who says "yeah, we launched an upgrade and I sent out the emails announcing it and it increased sales by 200%"
On both counts, if you're using the linked website for anything more than getting a handle on how long your bullet points should be and whether jargon might be acceptable or not, you shouldn't be getting the job....
How were these resumes sourced?
Looks pretty. However for a service that claims to provide me the best words to put on my resume, the tagline "write impactful resumes" is rather harmful. "Impactful" is clunky. "Effective" is what you want. But neither word offers a specific pay-off, which is what you actually want in both a head-line on a site and a bullet-point on a resume.
Doesn't search symbols. The example gives "Python" as a search term so I assumed you could look up languages. C/C++/C# all return the same thing, which incidentally have nothing to do with the programming language because it is just searching the letter 'c'.
