LockedIn AI pricing, as of October 2026, starts with a free plan of 5-minute sessions, up to 60 minutes a day. Paid plans are Unlimited General at $54.99 a month (or $39.99 a month billed every 3 months), Unlimited Professional at $119.99 a month (or $79.99 a month billed every 3 months), Credits plans at $69.99 a month for 400 copilot minutes (or $49.99 a month billed every 3 months for 20 hours), and Lifetime Pro at $999.50 as a one-time payment.
Every paid price on LockedIn's pricing page sits next to a struck-through "standard" price roughly twice as high, so the discount framing is part of how it sells. This guide uses the prices actually shown, taken from LockedIn AI's pricing page, support center and refund policy, all checked on October 14, 2026, in USD as shown to a US visitor on the web. Prices inside its iPhone and Android apps are higher, as explained below.
LockedIn AI pricing at a glance
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed every 3 months | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | — | Unlimited 5-minute sessions, up to 60 minutes a day |
| Unlimited General | $54.99/mo | $39.99/mo ($119.97 a quarter) | Unlimited interview sessions and unlimited mock interviews |
| Unlimited Professional | $119.99/mo | $79.99/mo ($239.97 a quarter) | Everything in General, plus LockedIn Duo, which LockedIn describes as remote interview assist |
| Credits | $69.99/mo for 400 copilot minutes (or 800 mock minutes) | $49.99/mo ($149.97 a quarter) for 20 copilot hours (or 40 mock hours) | A usage pool; includes LockedIn Duo |
| Lifetime Pro | $999.50 one time | Unlimited sessions, priority support and future updates | |
Quarterly totals are our arithmetic from the monthly equivalents. The struck-through "standard" prices are $109.98 a month for General, $239.98 for Professional, $139.98 for Credits and $1,999.00 for Lifetime Pro. The page also advertises a promo code in a banner; we couldn't confirm whether it lowers the prices above any further, so compare the total at checkout. Current figures are on LockedIn AI's pricing page.
What the LockedIn AI free plan includes
LockedIn's support center describes the free plan precisely:
- Unlimited 5-minute sessions, up to 60 free minutes a day. Each session ends after 5 minutes, and the next one can start a minute later.
- Resume and career tools are free on any plan.
- Transcription uses the standard language group; the enhanced engine and the bilingual language packs are paid.
- Referral credits: a successful referral gives 50 credits (100 minutes) to each side once the referred person makes a first purchase. With a credit balance, free-plan sessions can run up to 60 minutes, or 30 minutes for mock interviews.
The free plan is good for checking setup and how fast answers arrive. It doesn't fit a full interview: a 45-minute round would be nine separate 5-minute sessions with a pause between each.
Unlimited vs Credits vs Lifetime: which LockedIn plan fits
General or Professional
LockedIn's help center says that for ordinary copilot use, General and Professional are identical. Professional adds LockedIn Duo and one other paid-only feature, and its 3-month version adds early access to beta features. If you want the copilot and mock interviews only, General costs less than half as much.
How credits are counted
One credit equals 2 minutes of copilot time, so a minute costs 0.5 credit. Time is charged while the session runs, so ending early doesn't cost you the minutes you didn't use, and mock interviews run at half rate. LockedIn says credits never expire and survive a subscription ending, but afterwards they only work with its general AI models. If you're on a Credits plan, you can buy extra one-time Copilot Time Packages from your credits page; their prices aren't shown on the public pricing page.
To put the allowances in hours: the monthly Credits plan's 400 minutes is about 6.7 hours of copilot time, and the 3-month plan's 20 hours works out to about 6.7 hours a month as well, for $20 a month less.
Session length limits
Every plan has a per-session ceiling, separate from your balance. Paid plans, including Unlimited, allow 120 minutes for most session types and 60 minutes for mock interviews. That's long enough for almost any single interview round.
Lifetime Pro
At $999.50, Lifetime Pro pays for itself only over a long horizon. Against Unlimited General billed monthly ($54.99), it breaks even after about 18 months. Against General on 3-month billing ($119.97 a quarter), it takes about 25 months. Unless you expect to use LockedIn for years, a subscription you can cancel is the cheaper choice.
Promotions and mobile app prices
- Discount framing. Every paid plan is shown at "save 50%" or more against its standard price. Judge the plan on the price you'll actually pay and on how many months you'll need it.
- Mobile apps cost more. LockedIn's FAQ says purchases inside the iOS and Android apps include Apple's and Google's commission, so in-app prices are higher than on the web or desktop app, and some plans are only offered on the web.
- Subscriptions auto-renew. The support center says cancelling after a renewal means that period has already been charged.
LockedIn AI refund and cancellation policy
LockedIn's refund policy, last updated October 14, 2026, is stricter than the "Money-back guarantee" badge on its pricing page suggests:
- Monthly and quarterly subscriptions: non-refundable once started. Cancelling keeps access until the end of the billing cycle, with no refund or prorated credit.
- Annual subscriptions: eligible for a partial refund if cancelled within 7 days of purchase. No annual plan was listed on the pricing page when we checked.
- Lifetime plans: a full refund within 7 days of purchase, but only if you haven't started a session. After your first session, or after 7 days, no refund.
- Billing errors: duplicate charges, no access after payment, or a charge after you cancelled before renewal, reported within 7 days.
- App Store purchases follow Apple's refund process.
- How to ask: email support with your account email and the charge. The policy says support reviews requests within 7 business days and processes approved refunds in 5 to 10 business days.
LockedIn's support FAQ adds that refund requests are handled case by case, but the written policy is what you can rely on. Treat a monthly or quarterly purchase as final.
To cancel, use the web app at app.lockedinai.com, not the desktop app: click your avatar, open Billing & Plans and choose Cancel subscription under Manage Membership. If you subscribed on iPhone or Android, cancel through the App Store or Google Play instead. Either way, you keep access until the paid period ends, and you should cancel before the renewal date.
What LockedIn AI costs per interview: three example schedules
Here is the arithmetic for three schedules we made up. Each assumes one-hour interviews, the cheapest LockedIn plan at list price that covers them, and no tax or promo codes.
| Example schedule | Cheapest LockedIn AI plan | Total | Per interview |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. One interview next week | Unlimited General, 1 month | $54.99 | $54.99 |
| 2. Eight interviews over 6 weeks | Unlimited General, 2 months | $109.98 | $13.75 |
| 3. Twenty interviews over 3 months | Unlimited General, 3-month billing | $119.97 | $6.00 |
The 3-month Credits plan's 20 hours would also cover schedule 3, but at $149.97 with no minutes to spare. The free plan can't cover a full interview in any schedule. For other tools, our guide to how much an AI interview assistant costs shows how to run the same math.
LockedIn AI vs CoPilot Interview on price
This table compares price structure only. LockedIn figures were checked October 14, 2026, and CoPilot Interview's are from our pricing page. Disclosure: we make CoPilot Interview.
| CoPilot Interview | LockedIn AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Free use | 15 minutes every day in sessions up to 15 minutes, all four modes including Mock Interview, no card | Up to 60 minutes a day in 5-minute sessions |
| Cheapest monthly price | Best choice: Standard $14.99/mo (sale; regular $19.99) | Unlimited General $54.99/mo |
| Longer billing | Yearly: Standard $99.99, Pro $199.99, Pro+ $249.99 | 3-month: General $119.97, Professional $239.97 |
| One-time purchase | Best choice: hour packs from $5.99 (5 hours $19.99, 15 hours $34.99); never expire | Lifetime Pro $999.50 |
| Paid session length | Standard 60 minutes, 2 hours apart; Pro and Pro+ 70 minutes, no gap | 120 minutes (60 for mock interviews) |
| Refund | Best choice: 14-day money-back guarantee on the first payment of a new subscription, if under 30 minutes of live session time was used | Monthly and quarterly non-refundable once started |
| Example schedules 1 / 2 / 3, per interview | $5.99 / $3.75 / $2.25 | $54.99 / $13.75 / $6.00 |
CoPilot Interview's figures use a 1-hour pack for schedule 1 and the Standard plan for two months ($29.98) and three months ($44.97); Pro at $29.99 a month removes the 2-hour gap if your rounds run back to back.
Where LockedIn is stronger: longer paid sessions, more free minutes a day (in shorter sessions), and web and mobile apps as well as desktop. Where CoPilot Interview costs less: every schedule above, a free plan long enough for a real practice round, and a refund window on new subscriptions. Our CoPilot Interview vs LockedIn AI comparison covers features, the LockedIn AI review covers what it does, and the AI interview assistant comparison covers the wider market.
Whichever tool you pick, follow the rules of the employer or assessment you're in — many people use it only to practice, which works on the free plan. You can start with a free AI mock interview.
Practice 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.
