Overview
InterviewMan and LockedIn AI are two AI interview assistants on the market today, but which is the best choice for a given loop. LockedIn AI is the speed-first option, priced through tiered plans, scoped tightly around raw in-session response speed, and built around a desktop application, a web version and a phone app that lean on a 116ms response time. InterviewMan is the broader subscription, billed monthly or annually, with the entire interview loop in scope from behavioral questions through system design.
Both products come with various features to help a candidate manage a live interview. An important note. LockedIn AI offers one product positioned around fast technical responses, with a two hour session cap and stealth only on its top plan. InterviewMan offers a single product covering the entire loop including behavioral questions, technical discussions, coding screens, plus system design.
LockedIn AI routes answers across OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek depending on the question type. Language coverage reaches 42 languages. A feature called LockedIn Duo lets a candidate bring a second participant into a shared session. The pricing page advertises a money-back guarantee. It also offers help with online assessments. The hard ceiling is the two hour session cap, after which the tool stops returning answers regardless of whether the interviewer keeps asking questions.
The InterviewMan platform stack is wider. One product runs on Windows and macOS, with mobile clients for Android and iOS, plus a Chrome client for browser-only setups. Vendor figures cite around 570,000 candidates and a 4.9 star average over 4025 reviews on publicly searchable platforms. A single install carries the candidate through behavioral screens, technical conversations, system design discussions and live coding rounds with no tool swap between rounds.
Pricing
LockedIn AI lists a free plan and two paid plans, Basic and Professional. Only Professional includes stealth, and it sells at $119.99 per month on sale (the regular price is $239.98). Basic is $54.99 per month on sale ($109.98 regular), or $39.99 per month billed every three months, but it has no stealth at all. The free plan allows unlimited 5-minute sessions, up to 60 minutes a day, also without stealth. InterviewMan runs $12 per month on the annual plan, or $30 month to month, with stealth on both.

Try InterviewMan FreeFor Professional, LockedIn AI offers a quarterly option at $79.99 per month, billed every three months, which puts the effective annual cost at roughly $960. The monthly Professional price on its own compounds to roughly $1,440 across a full year. None of the LockedIn AI plans remove the two hour session cap. InterviewMan does not run a quarterly tier. The annual plan covers unlimited session minutes with no per-session caps and no separate metering on the longer system design rounds. The annual total comes to $144.
That puts the annual gap at least $815.88 per year against the LockedIn AI quarterly tier, and over $1,295 per year against the monthly tier. Month to month, InterviewMan's $30 sits at about a quarter of the $119.99 LockedIn AI charges for its stealth plan. A like-for-like value comparison is harder than the sticker prices suggest, since one product covers behavioral, technical conversation, system design and coding rounds while the other is scoped around fast technical responses inside a two hour window.
Features
LockedIn AI puts its weight on a narrow set of capabilities on the in-session response side. The one hundred and sixteen millisecond response time runs fast inside a live coding round, the multi-model routing across OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek keeps the answer engine off a single provider, and the forty two language coverage extends broad. The shared LockedIn Duo session is a feature few competitors match.
None of those extends the two hour cap. Once the cap is reached the response time, the language coverage and the model routing all stop mattering inside that session. Behavioral coverage runs thinner than the technical side as well, with several user reports describing little useful output during behavioral rounds and leadership-style questions where the product's optimization toward quick technical responses turns into a poor fit.
Across a complete interview loop that mixes recruiter screens, behavioral and technical rounds, the tool covers the technical portion and leaves the rest of the loop without much help.
InterviewMan, on the other side, offers a wider feature set across the same interview types. It runs on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, and offers a Chrome integration alongside the native applications. The meeting platform list includes Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Amazon Chime, Cisco Webex and Lark. Coding assessment coverage extends to HackerRank, CoderPad and Codility. The product also reports support for system design and other technical formats on every plan, with audio input that listens to the live interview rather than asking the candidate to type each prompt manually. There is no built-in session timer, and recruiter screens together with free-form project conversations are covered.
Stealth handling further separates the two products. LockedIn AI keeps its stealth behind the Professional plan, so a candidate on the free or Basic plan has nothing hiding the tool during a shared screen. Even on Professional, LockedIn AI does not publish a detailed countermeasure list. There is no public account of WebRTC leak handling, of process name masking, or of screen-capture concealment comparable to the twenty-plus catalog InterviewMan publishes.
InterviewMan publishes a fuller account of its stealth handling, with the product running as its own desktop or mobile application that keeps it off screen recordings, off the dock, and off the Activity Monitor process list. Stealth ships on every plan rather than as a separate add-on, and the platform reports zero confirmed detections across the installed base.
Platform coverage is close between the two products. LockedIn AI runs as a desktop application, in the browser and as a phone app. InterviewMan runs on Windows, macOS, Android phones and iOS phones, and also runs inside Chrome when that fits the interview format. The practical difference is the price of hiding the tool: InterviewMan includes stealth on every plan, while LockedIn AI charges its top rate for it.
Conclusion
For most candidates running full interview loops, InterviewMan covers behavioral, technical, and coding rounds at $12/mo annual.
