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 unlimited; Lifetime ₹9,999 forever. Pay once at any tier — no monthly bill, no renewal anxiety. Final Round AI charges every month, indefinitely. Break-even versus their Pro tier is ~3 months on our Lifetime; ~1 month on our Starter.

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.
