Internly vs. Simplify
September 2, 2026 · 4 min read
Simplify and Internly both exist because internship applications are repetitive, form-heavy busywork. They attack it from opposite ends: Simplify makes you faster at forms; Internly takes the forms off your plate. (We build Internly — judge our fairness for yourself.)
How each one works
Simplify is primarily a browser extension plus a job tracker. You find a role — often via their genuinely excellent curated lists of open tech internships — click through to the employer's site, and the extension autofills the application from your saved profile. You review, fix the fields it missed, and submit. On a laptop, it turns a 20-minute application into a 5-minute one.
Internly is a mobile app that starts one step earlier: it decides what you should apply to. Your deck is filtered to internships matching your field, country, and pay floor. A right swipe hands the application to Internly — it fills the form, answers standard questions from your profile, asks you only when an employer wants something custom, and sends everything from a dedicated application email whose replies collect in one tracked inbox.

Where Simplify genuinely wins
If you're a CS student grinding US tech internships from a laptop, Simplify's curated repositories are the best maintained lists in the game, and the extension shines on the long Workday-style portals. Power users who want to personally control every field of every application will prefer it.
Where Internly wins
Everywhere the laptop isn't. Applications happen from the bus, between classes, in line for coffee — the moments you actually have. And because Internly matches before you apply, you never spend five minutes on a role that was never going to consider your profile. For non-tech fields and non-US students, the coverage difference is decisive: business, design, healthcare, marketing and more, across 20+ countries, translated into 10 languages.
The verdict
Simplify is a better power tool; Internly is a better assistant. If applying is a desk activity you enjoy optimizing, take Simplify. If you want the applications to simply be done — matched, filled, sent, and tracked while you live your life — that's the job Internly was built for.
