Our pick for transparent pricing is CoPilot Interview (★ Best choice): its pricing page shows every plan's month-to-month price first, the 3-month prices with the saving spelled out, session lengths and the refund terms, with no yearly-only headline. Hedy AI is second, with monthly, yearly and lifetime prices and its 14-day refund window on one page; AceRound AI is third, with one-time prices, the minutes in each pack, and a plain statement that nothing renews.
We make CoPilot Interview, so test our page as hard as the others. At the other end, Final Round AI's public page shows only "Pro $25+/mo", and LockedIn AI's prices appear only after a script runs. We read every pricing page below on November 15, 2026; prices themselves come from our November 13 check unless dated. AI interview copilots compared on billing terms covers renewals and cancellation.
Five tests of a transparent pricing page
- The month-to-month price is visible without signing in or changing a toggle.
- The headline is not a yearly price divided by twelve.
- No automatic coupon or countdown sets the price you see.
- The unit is stated: hours, sessions or minutes, so you can work out the cost of one interview.
- Refund terms are public and linked from the pricing page.

Our three picks for clear pricing
★ Best choice for transparent pricing: CoPilot Interview. Monthly prices lead, there is no annual plan to dress up the headline, the 3-month saving is stated in dollars, and the refund conditions are on the same page.
Also consider: Hedy AI if you want one page with monthly, yearly and lifetime prices and a refund window with no usage condition stated. AceRound AI if you prefer one-time purchases with the minutes printed on each.
Where we fall short: our hour packs are not on the pricing page itself, which makes our cheapest way to cover one interview harder to find than it should be.
What the headline hides, in dollars
| Tool | Headline | True month to month | Multiple | Two months at the true price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoPilot Interview (ours) ★ Best choice | $24.99 | $24.99 | 1.0 | $49.98 |
| Hedy AI | $12.99 | $12.99 | 1.0 | $25.98 |
| Verve AI | $16.99 | $44.99 | 2.6 | $89.98 |
| Sensei AI | $24 | $89 | 3.7 | $178 |
| Final Round AI | $25 | $150 | 6.0 | $300, or $250 for a quarter |
| LockedIn AI | $49.99 (quarterly) | $69.99 Credits | 1.4 | $139.98 |
Our arithmetic from the prices above. For a two-month search, Final Round AI's cheapest route is its $250 quarter, and two months at its monthly price cost the same as its $300 year.
Check any pricing page in two minutes
- Switch the toggle to monthly and write that number down.
- Open the page in a private window; a price that changes may carry an automatic code or a first-visit offer.
- Find the unit: hours, sessions or credits, and what one interview uses.
- Open the refund policy and look for a usage limit and whether renewals are covered.
- Check the total at checkout, including tax, before you pay. Free trial traps lists the common renewal surprises.
How to choose
- Live help or practice? Practice-only tools such as Huru, which is free, and Yoodli, which shows yearly-billed rates, have simpler pricing because they do not meter live calls.
- Budget: compare true monthly prices and the cost per hour; price per hour across copilots does the arithmetic.
- Windows or Mac: CoPilot Interview runs on Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 12 or later; Hedy AI needs macOS 14.2 and Final Round AI macOS 14.4 on a Mac.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant for Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 12 or later, with a browser demo at /try and phone practice apps in beta. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. Paid plans are Standard at $24.99 and Pro at $39.99 a month, 3-month plans at $59.99 and $99.99, and one-time hour packs of 1 hour for $9.99, 5 hours for $29.99 and 15 hours for $49.99, which never expire. The refund terms are on our refund policy: a 14-day money-back guarantee on a new subscription's first payment if under 30 minutes of live session time were used. Whatever you pay, follow your employer's rules; proctored tests, online assessments and AI-led rounds forbid outside help, so prepare for those instead.
Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.
