This is our ranked list of ten AI interview assistants for 2027. CoPilot Interview is at number one, and we make it, so allow for that and use the reasons below to make up your own mind. We rank for an ordinary candidate with a one to three month search and a mix of interview types, not for a specialist or a company. The criteria are public, the competitor facts are dated and taken from each vendor's own site, and we say where each rival beats us. The longer table is in our full comparison for 2027, and how we rank sets out the method.

Why we rank ourselves first, and the case against
We think a tool should let you test real live help before paying, charge a fair monthly price, and help you practice rather than only prompt you. On those tests we do well. The case against us: our free sessions stop at 15 minutes, we have no native store apps yet, and if you want a large practice library with scenarios, Final Round AI offers more. Every vendor list puts its own tool first, which is why best-of lists are mostly written by vendors is worth reading before you trust any of them, ours included.
How your ranking might differ
- Coding only: Interview Coder, Interview Solver and LeetCode Wizard rise, despite the price.
- Phone first: LockedIn AI rises, and so do store apps such as Interview Pilot, for practice at least.
- Privacy first and technical: Natively AI with local models rises.
- Sales calls and meetings as well as interviews: Cluely rises.
- Budget of zero for a long search: daily free plans rise, because trials run out.
What changed from last year's list
The 2026 list is still useful for context. The biggest shifts are in pricing presentation, with annual and quarterly rates dominating headlines, and in phone apps, where several rivals have shipped native versions. Practice has also become more central, since many employers now run rounds where no outside tool is permitted at all.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant for Windows and macOS with 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. A ranking cannot tell you what is allowed in your interview: follow your employer's rules, and check the invitation for any statement about outside tools.
Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.
