Why switch to Interview Assistant

Four concrete reasons people pick us over LockedIn AI.

Reason 01

No credit counter, no per-minute math

Our Pro and Lifetime tiers are flat: open the app for a 4-hour final-round panel and the cost is the same as a 20-minute screen. LockedIn meters every minute of every session.

Reason 02

From ₹1,499 — no credit meter, no renewals

Our Starter is ₹1,499 one-time for 15 sessions; Lifetime ₹9,999 for forever. LockedIn's credits expire / get topped up monthly. If you interview for 6 months a year, every year, the payback on our Lifetime is dramatic — and our Starter beats them outright in a short job hunt.

Reason 03

INR-native, India-first billing

Pay through Razorpay in rupees — UPI, cards, net banking, all supported. No forex fees, no USD conversion.

Reason 04

Tighter focus, less bloat

We do one thing — live interview answering — extremely well. We do not try to also be your resume builder, LinkedIn optimizer, or mentor marketplace. If you want the focused tool, not the suite, we are it.
