Quick answer for 2027 interviews: for a Windows user with one to five interviews, the cheapest entry is CrackInterviewAI (₹99 for 30 minutes at base price, 30 free minutes to test). AssistBee has a daily free allowance and a ₹199 pass. Parakeet AI, Chiku AI and InterviewGPT sell credits in rupees. Final Round AI, LockedIn AI, Sensei AI and Verve AI are broader subscriptions. Ghotly AI, InterviewPilot and CoPilot Interview are newer entries. Every price below comes from the vendor's own page, read on 8 November 2026 or 10 November 2026; each section gives its date.
Cost of one hour of live help at published prices: CrackInterviewAI about ₹116 on the ₹349 three-hour pack (₹198 with two ₹99 packs), AssistBee about ₹250 on its ₹499 two-hour pass, InterviewGPT ₹999 for a one-hour credit, and Parakeet AI about ₹1,230 on its three-credit pack. Sources and dates are in each section.
This guide is published by CrackInterviewAI, one of the tools listed. It is a comparison of published plans and platforms, not a lab test. This is the 2027 edition of our yearly list: the prices are the ones vendors published in November 2026, and we will date every later change. Open the linked page before you buy.
How to choose an AI interview assistant in India
Check four things in this order: does it run on your computer (Windows, Mac or browser); can you test it free on your own headset and meeting app; what does the time you actually need cost in rupees; and does it understand how your interviewer speaks, including Hindi or Hinglish. A tool that fails the first two checks is not a bargain at any price.
What changed going into 2027
One tool has left the list. JobLander's website said on 8 November 2026 that signups and purchases stopped on 11 October 2026 and that minutes bought after 11 September 2026 work only until 31 December 2026, so it is not an option for a 2027 interview. Details: JobLander alternatives.
Free allowances moved. LockedIn AI listed 10 free minutes on 3 October 2026 and none on 8 November 2026. InterviewGPT and InterviewPilot each listed three free 10-minute sessions a day in November 2026. Check the free allowance again on the day you sign up, because it is the first thing vendors change.
Three India-facing tools are new to this edition: Ghotly AI, InterviewPilot and CoPilot Interview (entries 10 to 12).
Hiring itself is changing too. Candidates report AI-led first rounds at several large IT recruiters, which are covered in AI interview rounds at Wipro, Virtusa, Cognizant, Infosys and TCS. If you graduate in 2027, the TCS NQT guide lists what was confirmed for the 2027 batch when we last checked.

10. Ghotly AI, 11. InterviewPilot and 12. CoPilot Interview: newer tools
Ghotly AI (also written Ghostly AI): its official site, checked on 10 November 2026, listed a Windows app that is free for 10 minutes and then ₹79 for a month with no auto-renewal. It works with your own AI provider keys, so you set up a key yourself and the provider bills AI usage separately.
InterviewPilot: its pricing page, checked on 10 November 2026, listed a free tier of 3 sessions a day of 10 minutes each with no card, a Starter pack at ₹599 for 1 session and an Interview Pack at ₹1,299 for 3 sessions (both shown as festive offer prices), and Unlimited from ₹8,999 a month.
CoPilot Interview: its pricing page, checked on 10 November 2026, described a free tier and paid plans from $24.99, billed in US dollars.
How they compare with CrackInterviewAI: Ghotly AI has the lowest monthly fee if you are comfortable creating and paying for your own AI key. CrackInterviewAI includes the AI in the price, so ₹99 or ₹349 is the full cost, and unused time stays in your account. InterviewPilot's free 10-minute sessions suit short practice; a paid session there starts at ₹599.
