LockedIn AI

LockedIn AI fills a specific niche: real-time assistance during live interviews. If you're the type who freezes under pressure or needs a quick algorithmic nudge mid-question, this is genuinely useful. The Duo feature — having a trusted friend watch the feed and send hints — is something competitors like Interviewing.io don't offer. But here's the honest trade-off: it's a crutch, not a teacher. If you're early in prep and need to build fundamentals, this won't replace studying. Use it for the final polish, not the foundation. Where it really shines is coding interviews. The VS Code and Cursor integration means you can get algorithm breakdowns and debug help without alt-tabbing, which keeps you looking at your editor like a pro. That said, relying on it too much could backfire if you get an interviewer who's suspicious of tech. The stealth mode helps, but it's a risk. For phone screens and behavioral rounds, the real-time answer delivery can be a confidence booster, especially if English isn't your first language — the 50+ language support with accent recognition is a differentiator. The pricing is the big headache. The page says 'Free to start' and mentions a free plan, but there's no transparent list of paid tiers or costs — just vague 'Unlimited Credits' and 'General' and 'Professional' options that all default to contact sales. That's frustrating for buyers who want to know if this fits their budget. Compare that to a tool like CoderPad, which has transparent per-seat pricing for practice, or Interviewing.io, which charges per mock interview clearly. LockedIn AI makes you talk to a salesperson — annoying if you're a solo job seeker. Another caveat: it works on desktop, web, iOS, and Android — the site lists all four — but the real-time magic is strongest on
