Interviews by AI is a practice-only web app; CoPilot Interview is a desktop app that does practice and live help. Interviews by AI (interviewsby.ai) lets you paste a job description, answer generated questions out loud or in writing against a timer, and get a score, STAR-style feedback and a sample response, for free on 3 questions a month or $9 a month for unlimited questions. CoPilot Interview includes AI mock interviews on its free plan and adds live captions and answers during real calls, where allowed, with 15 free minutes a day. Below: a side-by-side as of October 26, 2026, and which candidate each one fits.
What each tool is
Interviews by AI runs in the browser. You paste a job description, it generates role-specific questions, and you answer each one out loud or by typing with a timer running. It returns a score, STAR-style feedback and a sample response, and saves sessions in a dashboard. The free plan allows 3 questions a month with no card; Pro is $9 a month and adds unlimited questions, resume upload and longer response times. We found no meeting-app integration mentioned, so it is not a tool you would run during a real interview.
CoPilot Interview is a desktop app for Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 12 and later. Its AI mock interviews are built from your resume and the job description, read aloud by an AI interviewer, and each spoken answer is scored out of 10 with what worked, what to improve and a model answer. The same app provides live captions and a structured answer in about 2 seconds during real calls, by listening to the computer's audio output and your microphone rather than joining the meeting.

Practice-only vs practice plus live help
A practice-only tool has one job and no policy question attached to it: nobody objects to rehearsing. Interviews by AI's written mode is also something CoPilot Interview does not offer, since our mock interviews are spoken. If you want to draft answers in text, build them into stories and only then say them aloud, the $9 plan is a cheap way to do that, and the saved dashboard makes it easy to see progress over weeks.
CoPilot Interview covers the same rehearsal step for free and then goes one step further into the real call. That extra step is the one that needs judgment: live help is for interviews where it is allowed, and you should follow your employer's rules and the hiring company's instructions before switching it on. Our live helper vs practice tools page goes through that decision, and our mock interview roundup puts both tools alongside others.
Who each tool suits
Choose Interviews by AI if you want to practice in writing as well as out loud, want a timer on every answer, want saved sessions in a dashboard, or want the lowest monthly price for unlimited practice questions. It also suits anyone on Linux or a Chromebook, since it needs only a browser.
Choose CoPilot Interview if you want an AI interviewer that reads questions aloud and scores spoken answers from your own resume, want practice and live help in one app, or want Coding mode with Big-O and edge cases. Our Bossed.ai comparison covers another spoken-practice tool.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant built around preparation first: paste the job description and your resume, choose the level and the mix of behavioral, technical, system design and coding questions, and an AI interviewer scores each spoken answer out of 10. Live help is a second layer for interviews where it is permitted. A 14-day money-back guarantee covers the first payment of a new subscription if under 30 minutes of live session time has been used. Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
Is Interviews by AI free?
Partly. As of October 26, 2026, the free plan gives 3 questions a month with no card; Pro is $9 a month for unlimited questions, resume upload and longer response times. CoPilot Interview's AI mock interviews are included on its free plan, alongside 15 minutes of live help a day.
Can Interviews by AI help during a real interview?
Not as far as we could find. Its site describes a practice tool with no meeting-app integration mentioned as of October 26, 2026. CoPilot Interview provides live captions and answers during real calls by listening to the computer's audio, for interviews where that is allowed.
Which one gives written feedback on answers?
Both. Interviews by AI returns a score, STAR-style feedback and a sample response for typed or spoken answers. CoPilot Interview scores each spoken answer out of 10 with what worked, what to improve and a model answer; its mock interviews are spoken.
Do I need to install anything for Interviews by AI?
No, it runs in the browser. CoPilot Interview's mock interviews and live help need the desktop app on Windows 10 and 11 or macOS 12 and later, though the demo at /try runs practice questions in the browser with no signup.
