AI mock interview tools compared (2026)
Last updated · Made by the VirtualInterview.ai team, so weigh our own row accordingly.
Eighteen tools grouped by what they are actually for. No star ratings — we publish this page and it would be worthless if we scored ourselves. Prices come from vendor pages, with sources and verification dates below.
The short answer
Full simulated round, scored answers, follow-ups: a practice tool — VirtualInterview.ai, Huru, Entrevia or Colloqa, or Big Interview if you want a course around it.
A real person on the other side: Aced peer mocks (5 free sessions per month) or interviewing.io (paid senior engineers, free AI Interviewer for coding).
Delivery, not content: Yoodli — pace, fillers, eye contact, from $8/mo billed annually.
Answers fed to you during a live interview: Final Round AI, LockedIn AI or Interview Sidekick. A different category with a different risk; none of the practice tools above do this, and neither do we.
Quick picks by need
- Scored spoken practice, free: VirtualInterview.ai (2 interviews a month) or Huru (free for job seekers).
- Most free voice time: Colloqa lists one session a day with up to 45 minutes of voice.
- Practising in Spanish, Portuguese or French: Entrevia, or VirtualInterview.ai for 50+ languages.
- Delivery, not content: Yoodli.
- A real person: Aced peer mocks or interviewing.io.
- Live answer suggestions (check employer rules first): Final Round AI, LockedIn AI or Interview Sidekick.

“Not published” means the vendor shows the price only after sign-up. We do not estimate those.
Sources and verification dates
The table is the comparison. Use these vendor links to confirm current pricing and terms before buying; prices can change by region or billing period. Skillora is not listed: its vendor pricing page could not be read on 2026-10-17, and third-party directories disagreed, so no figure is shown rather than a guess.
A browser-based mock interviewer. You choose role, seniority, format (general, technical, behavioral, recruiter screen, system design, managerial, case study, technical assessment, leadership, panel, salary negotiation, final / executive), company and language; it asks, follows up on what you said, scores each answer for relevance, depth, clarity, and ends with a retry plan. Also has an ATS resume builder and resume analyzer.

A free, no-login practice tool from Grow with Google (2022–2026) that asked five questions, transcribed spoken answers and highlighted talking points and most-used words.
Retired in April 2026; the URL now redirects to a generic interview-prep article that suggests practising with Gemini Live.
Who should pick which
Run the specific round three times with a practice tool and re-answer the weakest questions. A one-time credit pack ($9 for 5 interviews here) costs less than a month of anything.
Start a free interviewUse a problem bank for volume, interviewing.io's free AI Interviewer for timed coding rounds, and a practice tool for the behavioural round everyone under-prepares.
Technical interview practiceYoodli for delivery (fillers, pace), then a practice tool so the content of the answers improves too. Neither replaces saying the answers out loud twenty times.
Video interview practicePractise in that language. VirtualInterview.ai runs the whole round — questions, follow-ups, feedback — in 50+ languages; most of the others are English-first.
See plansHow this page is put together
We publish VirtualInterview.ai, so this is not an independent review and we do not pretend it is. What we can do is be checkable: every price above was read from the vendor's own pricing page on 2026-10-25 and is quoted as displayed, with the source linked. Where a vendor hides the price behind sign-up, the table says so. The categories, free tiers and live-copilot column are the practical trade-offs rather than a self-awarded ranking.
We do not assign star ratings, to ourselves or to anyone. Third-party ratings live on the review sites; we link to vendors, not to reviews we cannot vouch for. Feature claims for other tools are taken from their public pages; we have not run every product end to end. If something here is out of date, email support@virtualinterview.ai and we will fix it and bump the date.
Questions people ask
There is no single best one; it depends on what you need. For a full simulated round with follow-ups and scored answers, use a practice tool such as VirtualInterview.ai, Huru, Entrevia or Colloqa. For delivery coaching (pace, fillers, eye contact) use Yoodli. For a human on the other side use Aced peer mocks (5 free per month) or interviewing.io (paid engineers). Final Round AI, LockedIn AI and Interview Sidekick are a different category — they include live copilots that suggest answers during a real interview.
Google retired Interview Warmup in April 2026; the URL now redirects to a general interview-prep article that suggests practising with Gemini Live. The closest free replacements for a no-cost, browser-based first attempt are VirtualInterview.ai's free plan (2 interviews a month, no card) and interviewing.io's free AI Interviewer for coding rounds.
No. A copilot (Final Round AI is the best-known) listens to a live interview and shows you suggested answers in real time. A mock interview tool asks the questions before the real interview and tells you how you did. Most employers treat undisclosed live assistance as cheating; practice tools carry no such risk. VirtualInterview.ai is a practice tool only.
Free without a card: VirtualInterview.ai (2 interviews a month), Yoodli Starter (5 lifetime sessions), Aced peer mocks (5 per month), interviewing.io's AI Interviewer (coding and system design), Colloqa (one session a day, up to 45 minutes of voice), Interview Sidekick's Basic tier, LockedIn AI's free plan, and Final Round AI's free tier (materials and job-description parsing, but not the copilot or practice mode). Huru is free for job seekers; Big Interview has no free plan on its public pricing page.
VirtualInterview.ai generates questions and feedback in 50+ languages. Colloqa lists 12 languages for voice, Entrevia lists four, Huru lists five, and Interview Sidekick says 31 for live transcription. Final Round AI shows a figure of 143 languages and accents without a list. Language coverage for the other tools has not been verified; check each vendor's current list before buying.
Prices are quoted from vendor pages, with the review date beside each source. Final Round AI and Huru were read on 2026-10-24; other rows name their own read date. Promotions, billing periods and regional prices may differ at checkout. Unavailable prices are labelled rather than estimated.
