Interview Sidekick pricing, as of October 2026, is a free Basic tier plus one paid plan, Ultimate Sidekick, at $80 a month (list price $160), $159 every 90 days (list $318, about $53 a month) or $50 for a single week. The lower prices come from a 50% sale that its help center says is applied automatically and stays for as long as you keep the subscription, and all sales are final: Interview Sidekick doesn't offer refunds.
These figures come from Interview Sidekick's pricing page and its help center articles on pricing, refunds and cancelling, all checked on October 20, 2026, as shown to a US visitor. The help center says prices appear in your local currency, so yours may differ. Totals and per-interview costs below are our arithmetic. We make CoPilot Interview, a competing product, so read the comparison with that in mind.
Interview Sidekick pricing at a glance
| Plan | Billing | Price you pay (sale) | List price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Sidekick | Free | $0 | — | Limited prep sessions, limited question bank access and basic prep insights; the help center describes unlimited 2-minute test sessions with every feature; no credit card |
| Ultimate Sidekick | Weekly | $50 a week | Not shown | The Ultimate plan for one week; renews weekly |
| Ultimate Sidekick | Monthly | $80 a month | $160 | Unlimited prep sessions, advanced prep insights, AI answer feedback, Code Mode, interview transcripts and a bank of 16,000+ questions with suggested answers (the vendor's count) |
| Ultimate Sidekick | Every 90 days | $159 (about $53 a month) | $318 | Same as monthly; labeled "save 34%" |
"About $53 a month" is the page's own figure ($159 divided by three). One detail is worded two ways: the pricing page says to apply code SAVE50 at checkout, while the help center says the discount is applied automatically with no code box. Either way, checkout should show the full price struck through next to the price you pay. Current figures are on Interview Sidekick's pricing page.
What the free Basic tier includes
The pricing page lists Basic Sidekick as limited interview prep sessions, limited question bank access and basic prep insights, with no credit card. The help center is more concrete: the free tier is unlimited 2-minute test sessions with every feature, and you can run as many as you like before you pay.
Two minutes is enough to check that the desktop app hears your call audio and to see how answers look. It isn't enough to rehearse a full answer, let alone a full round. That's by design: the help center says "All sales are final, which is why the test sessions are free."
Weekly, monthly or 90 days: which Ultimate billing fits
- Weekly ($50). Built for one interview. Two weeks ($100) already cost more than a month at the sale price, so cancel right after you subscribe if one week is all you need; you keep access until the week ends.
- Monthly ($80). Fits a search of up to a month.
- Every 90 days ($159). Costs less than two months on monthly billing ($160), so it's the better buy for any search that runs past one month.
The help center says Ultimate has no hourly or credit cap on live sessions, so you're paying for time on the calendar, not for minutes. All three billing periods renew automatically until you cancel. Payment is by card through Stripe, plus UPI when paying in Indian rupees; other wallets aren't supported.
How the 50% sale works
The help center says every plan is currently 50% off and that the discount "stays for as long as you keep your subscription." That's different from tools whose discount covers only the first payment. It also says codes don't stack on top of the sale. If the sale ended, the list prices shown are $160 a month and $318 every 90 days.
Interview Sidekick refund, renewal and cancellation terms
- No refunds. Its refund page says "We don't offer refunds," and that covers new subscriptions, renewals and renewals you forgot to cancel.
- Auto-renewal. Every plan renews automatically. Its terms of service, last updated July 29, 2024, say you must cancel before the current period ends to avoid the next charge.
- How to cancel. Sign in at interviewsidekick.com/account with the email you subscribed with (from the desktop app, open that page in your browser), click Cancel Subscription, then Confirm. The help center says you can't cancel by email.
- After you cancel. You keep full access until the end of the period you paid for, and the pricing FAQ says your transcripts and prep data aren't deleted.
Because nothing is refundable, the weekly plan is the cheapest way to try Ultimate properly. The full refund policy and cancellation steps are in its help center.
What Interview Sidekick costs per interview: three example schedules
Here is the arithmetic for three schedules we made up, each with one-hour interviews, using the sale prices shown on October 20, 2026, before tax, and the cheapest Ultimate billing that covers each. The free tier's 2-minute sessions can't cover a real interview in any of them.
| Example schedule | Cheapest Interview Sidekick billing | Total | Per interview |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. One interview next week | Weekly, cancelled before it renews | $50 | $50.00 |
| 2. Eight interviews over 6 weeks | Every 90 days | $159 | $19.88 |
| 3. Twenty interviews over 3 months | Every 90 days | $159 | $7.95 |
Schedule 2 on monthly billing would be $160, a dollar more than the 90-day plan. At list prices, schedules 2 and 3 would cost $318. For other tools, see our guide to how much an AI interview assistant costs.

| Example schedules 1 / 2 / 3, per interview | $5.99 / $3.75 / $2.25 | $50.00 / $19.88 / $7.95 |
Disclosure: we make CoPilot Interview.
CoPilot Interview's schedule figures use a 1-hour pack for schedule 1 and the Standard plan for two months ($29.98) and three months ($44.97) at the sale price; at the regular $19.99 they'd be $39.98 and $59.97.
Where Interview Sidekick is stronger: a much larger question bank (16,000+ by its count), no hourly cap on paid sessions, and a sale price that it says stays while you're subscribed. Where CoPilot Interview costs less: every schedule above, a free plan long enough for a real practice answer, one-time hour packs, and a refund window. See our CoPilot Interview vs Interview Sidekick comparison, the Interview Sidekick review, the list of Interview Sidekick alternatives and our AI interview assistant comparison. For what happens inside a session, read how Interview Sidekick works.
Whichever tool you use, follow the rules of the employer or assessment you're in — many people use it only to practice, which works on the free plan. A free AI mock interview in your browser is an easy first rep.
Rehearse a full answer before you pay
CoPilot Interview's free plan gives you 15 minutes every day, enough for a short Mock Interview built from your résumé and the job description, with each spoken answer scored out of 10. No credit card and no signup to start.
