Yes. Yoodli is run by Yoodli, Inc. of Seattle, founded in 2021, and TechCrunch reported in December 2025 that it raised a $40 million Series B, bringing total funding close to $60 million. It is also a different kind of product from most tools people compare it with: an AI roleplay and speaking coach for rehearsing interviews and other conversations, not a live answer assistant. The main caution is billing, since its individual plans are priced annually and its pricing FAQ says Yoodli does not offer refunds on cancellation. This page covers the company, plans, refunds, reviews, recordings and AI training, and the alternative. We make CoPilot Interview, a competing product, so read our view with that in mind.

What Yoodli actually does
Yoodli is an AI roleplay platform: you rehearse interviews, sales calls, pitches and other conversations with AI personas, and it gives feedback afterward on what you said and how you said it. A separate video-call feature works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. It runs in a web browser, and we found no App Store or Google Play app. For more on the product, see our Yoodli review.
Price, billing and refunds
Prices as listed on Yoodli's own site on November 13, 2026. They change often, so check the checkout total before you pay.
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | Free | 5 lifetime sessions; any practice over 30 seconds counts as one |
| Pro | $8 a month, billed annually | Up to 10 roleplays a week |
| Advanced | $20 a month, billed annually | Unlimited roleplays; session data excluded from AI training |
| Business | Per seat, billed annually | Price on a demo call |
| Enterprise | Per seat, billed annually | For organizations with 5,000+ employees |
A 'billed monthly' option exists, but its prices did not display in the page we read, so we do not quote them; the annual prices above are charged as a yearly amount.
Renewal and cancelling: Its terms say Yoodli bills on the day you upgrade and on each automatic renewal. To cancel, downgrade under your account's billing settings; access continues to the end of the paid period, and business plans go through an account manager.
Refunds: Its pricing FAQ says Yoodli does not offer refunds on cancellation; its terms say refunds are issued only where the law requires; its help center says a charge made in error will be refunded. The three agree. Our Yoodli pricing guide covers the plans in more detail.
What reviewers say
| Site | Rating | Reviews and notes |
|---|---|---|
| G2 | 4.7 / 5 (product); 4.8 (seller) | 8 and about 60 reviews respectively, per G2's search listings |
| Trustpilot | 3.4 TrustScore | 1 review (3 stars, June 2026); unclaimed profile |
| Product Hunt | #1 Product of the Day | At launch on November 18, 2022 |
| Capterra | No rating | 0 reviews, per its search listing |
| App Store, Google Play, BBB | None | No listing found |
All read on November 13, 2026. Its homepage claims a 4.8 rating.
Reviewers' complaints are mild and mostly from business users:
- Support that stopped replying (the single Trustpilot review).
- Learning-system integration and admin-side glitches.
- Too few voices and accents.
- Feedback weighted towards delivery more than the content of an answer.
Praise centres on objective, actionable coaching. We found no pattern of billing disputes.
Privacy and data
Yoodli records and analyses audio and video of your practice for verbal, vocal and visual delivery, and stores data on Google servers. On Starter and Pro, session data may be used to improve the platform; Advanced and above are excluded by default, and its privacy policy describes an opt-out in profile settings. Its terms, though, give Yoodli a licence to use submitted content, including to train models, that you cannot end once content is submitted. Recordings can be auto-deleted after 30, 7 or 1 day on some plans, and accounts can be deleted in settings or by email, with a grace period of 3 or 7 days depending on which help article you read.
Red flags and reassurances
Reasons for caution
- No refunds on cancellation, and individual plans priced annually.
- A free tier of only 5 lifetime sessions.
- An irrevocable content licence in its terms covering model training.
- A thin consumer review record outside G2.
Reasons for confidence
- A named, venture-funded company with named founders and enterprise customers.
- SOC 2 Type 2 and an AI-training exclusion on higher plans.
- A clear cancellation route that keeps access to the end of the period.
- Built for practice, so it raises no employer-rule questions.
Before you pay: five checks
- Read Yoodli's refund policy and the FAQ on its pricing page on the same day, and keep a screenshot of both. Where they differ, assume the narrower rule unless support confirms otherwise in writing.
- Check what the plan actually bills today. A 'per month' price on a quarterly or yearly plan is normally charged up front in one payment.
- Put the renewal date in your calendar, cancel a few days before it, and keep the cancellation confirmation email.
- Use all 5 free sessions on interview roleplays before buying, and switch on the training opt-out in your profile if you stay on Starter or Pro.
- Read your interview invitation. Proctored tests, online assessments and AI-led rounds forbid outside help, so practice for those instead, and in any live round follow your employer's rules.
