Solvro: help during the interview itself
Most tools on this list prepare you for the interview. Solvro helps while it happens. It is a desktop overlay for Windows and macOS: in Interview mode it transcribes what the interviewer says and returns a structured answer within seconds, using your resume and the job description; in Coding Test and MCQ modes it reads the question from a screenshot and returns the solution or the right option.
It is strongest where interviews are hardest to bluff: coding rounds, technical deep-dives and behavioural questions that need a concrete example. You can switch between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 to trade speed for depth.
- Pros: works live, covers both conversation and coding, answers shaped by your own resume, every action on a reassignable shortcut.
- Cons: no mock-interview simulator or speech coaching; it is built for the real thing, not rehearsal.
- Price: a free trial of 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes; Pro+ from $39 a month billed quarterly, or $24 for a 7-day pass.
Google Interview Warmup
Google's free practice tool offered field-specific question sets for areas such as data analytics, marketing and project management, transcribed your spoken answers and highlighted filler words and job-related terms. Google discontinued it in April 2026, but it remains a good model of what basic free practice looks like.
- Pros: completely free, question sets by field, instant transcript insights.
- Cons: basic questions only, and no longer available.
Yoodli
Yoodli is a speaking coach. It analyses recorded practice for filler words, pacing and engagement, and suggests how to tighten an answer. Its roleplay mode includes tips on body language, and it integrates with Zoom, so you can practise in the same setting you will interview in.
- Pros: detailed delivery analysis, an easy recording flow, fast feedback.
- Cons: limited control over the practice questions, and more focus on delivery than content.
Teal
Teal is known for its resume builder and job tracker, and its AI interview practice runs mock interviews tailored to a role and a format: screening, technical or culture fit. It scores pace, response quality and engagement, records video with a live transcript, and tracks progress over time.
- Pros: realistic conversations, detailed instant feedback, ties into job tracking.
- Cons: the free tier has limited sessions; unlimited practice is paid.
Richard McMunn's Interview Coach
This coach is built on Richard McMunn's interview teaching. It adapts mock questions to a role, experience level and sector, uses your resume and the job description, and comes with guides, templates and masterclasses.
- Pros: a proven method, 24/7 access, bonus materials.
- Cons: about $79.90 a month, and lighter on advanced technical scenarios.
Final Round AI
Final Round AI is the broadest suite here: an interview copilot, mock interviews, a resume builder, an AI career coach and more. Feedback works in solo rehearsal and simulated calls. The breadth is also the drawback: there is a lot to configure, and specialised roles can get general-sounding suggestions.
- Pros: real-time copilot plus prep, in-depth answer reviews, resume tools.
- Cons: about $148 a month on monthly billing, and it relies on careful setup. See Final Round AI alternatives.
Exponent Practice
Exponent Practice pairs you with candidates at a similar level for peer mock interviews in software engineering, product management and data science, and adds AI solo practice with transcripts and feedback rubrics. It is now also where Pramp sessions run.
- Pros: real peer practice, strong content for tech roles, free to start.
- Cons: limited free sessions, and you depend on a partner being available.
Career.io
Career.io is a career services bundle: an ATS-aware resume builder, a job search engine with a tracker and auto-apply extension, expert coaching, and interview prep with real employer questions. The interview tool is one feature among many.
- Pros: covers the whole search, from resume to offer.
- Cons: the interview tool is less specialised than dedicated ones.
How to choose
| If you need | Start with |
|---|---|
| Answers during a live interview or coding test | Solvro |
| Better delivery and fewer filler words | Yoodli |
| Realistic mock interviews with scoring | Teal or Final Round AI |
| Practice with another person | Exponent Practice |
| Help with the whole job search | Career.io |
Prep tools and a live assistant are not either-or. Many candidates rehearse with a mock tool, then keep a live assistant open for the questions they could not predict. Whatever you pick, start with the free tier and run a few sessions before you pay.
Check the rules first
Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the gap. For speaking delivery, Yoodli; for mock interviews, Teal or Final Round AI; for peer practice, Exponent. For help during the live interview or a coding test, Solvro.
Final Round AI is among the most expensive at about $148 a month on monthly billing. Solvro Pro is $29 a month, Pro+ with Interview mode is $49, and the $24 Sprint Pass covers a single interview week.
Most have a free tier or trial with limits. Solvro gives every account 10 free answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode with no card.
Software that uses AI to help with interviews: simulating mock interviews, analysing your speech, generating questions from a job description, or, in the case of live assistants like Solvro, suggesting answers during the interview itself.
