Tool by tool: what it is best for, and its weak spot

Short and honest, including ours. Each tool links to its pricing page and to our longer review.

Hinty Voice AssistantOurs

Best for: Job interviews, sales and client calls in Meet, Zoom or Teams in the browser, when you want hints from your own resume or PDFs, or hints in your own language while the call runs in another (Translator mode).
Weak spot: You pay for listening minutes, so if you are on calls all day a flat unlimited plan can cost less. The extension works with calls in the browser, not inside the Zoom or Teams desktop apps. It does not solve coding problems or help with one-way recorded video interviews, and it is a young product with few public reviews.

Our plans How an AI interview copilot works

Cluely

Best for: A general meeting assistant with live answers and notes at a low monthly price, for interviews, sales calls and team meetings alike.
Weak spot: It is built for meetings in general rather than for interviews. The free plan says "limited" without a number, the $11.99 rate needs a yearly commitment, and we found no Android app.

Cluely pricing page Cluely alternatives: 8 tools compared

Verve AI

Best for: Testing a live interview copilot for free before you pay: the free plan has the most live time we could confirm.
Weak spot: The prices on the plan cards ($16.99 and $34.99) are yearly rates; month to month it is $44.99 or $84.99. Standard caps you at 5 copilot sessions a month, and unused months of a yearly plan are not refunded.

Verve AI pricing page Verve AI review

LockedIn AI

Best for: Interview loops with coding rounds or online assessments, on desktop, web or phone, and credits that do not expire if you interview only now and then.
Weak spot: All current prices are a limited-time 50% discount, so the regular price is twice as high. Unlimited allows up to 2 hours per interview, and the refund does not apply to Lifetime once your first session starts.

LockedIn AI pricing page LockedIn AI review

Parakeet AI

Best for: One or two interviews paid with credits instead of a subscription, and calls on less common platforms like Webex, Chime or Google Voice.
Weak spot: Unlimited is €129.90 month to month, the credit pack prices are not shown on the pricing page, it listens to one language at a time, and the native mobile app is not out yet.

Parakeet AI pricing page Parakeet AI review

Final Round AI

Best for: One desktop app for every round type, including coding and one-way HireVue interviews, if paying for a year up front suits you.
Weak spot: Month to month it costs $150, and the $25 headline price means paying $300 for the year. You cannot try a live session for free, and monthly plans are not refundable.

Final Round AI pricing page Final Round AI pricing explained Final Round AI alternatives

Interview Coder

Best for: Software engineers whose main worry is the coding round.
Weak spot: At $299 a month it is the most expensive tool here, nothing AI-related works without paying, and spoken behavioral or sales interviews are not its focus.

How we checked

We opened each official pricing page on 13 November 2026 and copied the prices shown, in US dollars where the page offered them. Parakeet AI showed us euros only.
"Month to month" is the price if you pay for a single month. Yearly, quarterly, credit and lifetime options are in "Cheapest option", because headline prices are often the yearly rate divided by twelve.
Where a page did not state something (for example the number of languages), we say so instead of guessing. Discounts marked as limited-time are named as such.
We update this page every month. Prices change often, so confirm the amount and the refund terms at checkout.

FAQ

Which live AI interview assistant is the cheapest?

Hinty Voice Assistant has the lowest paid plan we found: $7.50 a month for 45 minutes of listening (checked 13 November 2026). For unlimited use month to month, Cluely Pro at $19.99 is the cheapest. Among interview-specific tools, Verve AI Standard costs $44.99 month to month or $16.99 a month billed yearly.

Is there a free AI interview assistant?

None of these tools gives unlimited live help for free. Verve AI includes 3 live sessions of 15 minutes, LockedIn AI 10 minutes, and Hinty Voice Assistant has a free plan without a card plus a practice conversation. Cluely and Parakeet AI let you start free with limits. Final Round AI's free plan covers preparation only, and Interview Coder's AI features need a paid plan.

Which AI assistant is best for coding interviews?

Interview Coder, Final Round AI and LockedIn AI are built for coding rounds and online assessments, and Verve AI Pro includes coding and system design domains. Hinty Voice Assistant is made for spoken questions and does not solve coding problems.

Do these tools work with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams?

Yes, all seven support calls in Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. Final Round AI, Cluely, LockedIn AI, Verve AI, Parakeet AI and Interview Coder have Windows or Mac apps that run next to the call app. Hinty Voice Assistant works with calls in the browser through its Chrome extension or web app, not inside the Zoom or Teams desktop apps.

Which AI interview assistants work on Android or iPhone?

LockedIn AI and Hinty Voice Assistant have Android and iOS apps, Verve AI lists mobile, and Cluely has an iPhone app. Parakeet AI runs in the phone browser while its native app is on the way. Final Round AI and Interview Coder are Windows and Mac apps.

Why is the price at checkout higher than the price on the plan card?

Many tools show the yearly rate per month. Final Round AI's $25 is $300 billed yearly ($150 month to month), Verve AI's $16.99 is billed yearly ($44.99 month to month) and Cluely's "from $11.99" is the annual rate ($19.99 month to month). LockedIn AI's current prices are a limited-time 50% discount. Compare the month-to-month price and read the refund terms before you pay.

Is it OK to use an AI assistant in a job interview?

It depends on the employer. Some forbid AI tools in interviews, many have no rule, and recording and consent rules differ between countries. Read the invite and any candidate guidelines, and where there is no rule, tell the interviewer you use an assistant for notes.
