Why switch to Interview Assistant

Four concrete reasons people pick us over Final Round AI.

Reason 01

Start at ₹1,499 — no subscription, ever

Starter is ₹1,499 one-time for 15 sessions; Pro ₹3,999 for 3 months unlimited; Premium ₹7,777 for 6 months unlimited. No monthly bill, and nothing renews automatically. Final Round AI charges every month, indefinitely: six months of their Pro tier is about ₹28,800, against ₹7,777 for our Premium.

Reason 02

Native INR billing — no forex pain

Pay in rupees through Razorpay (UPI, cards, net banking). No FX conversion fees, no foreign-transaction line items on your bank statement, no GST headache.

Reason 03

Same core outcome, dramatically cheaper

Both products do the core job: listen to the interviewer, generate a real-time AI answer, stay invisible to screen capture. If you are not specifically buying their multi-model or coding-editor integration, do not pay 10× for the same outcome.

Reason 04

Translucent overlay — read through the AI panel

Our overlay is 25% transparent by default so the interviewer's video and shared content stay readable underneath. Final Round AI's panel is fully opaque.
