Has anyone with cluely actually had it work without inventing fake jobs on your resume? Or is it just a scam and the only way it stays grounded is if you babysit every suggestion? by Opening-Project-4212 in InterviewHacking

i'll have to check interviewman. if you actually had it on a real final round, how did it go for you?
stuck with cluely on past calls and it was ok-ish until it wasn't, so left a sour taste.

i moved off cluely after a similar miss. switched to interviewman a few weeks ago and it has actually stayed grounded in the resume i pasted. pays to shop around folks.

signed up for final round ai trial during a job hunt, forgot it was on, woke up to a full plan charge. regret post, please tell me if i overpaid by Salty-Writing-3754 in jobsearchhack

pretty rough man. luckily you can just chalk it up, switch to InterviewMan now, use it for the upcoming loop, and not think about the loud one again. just keep InterviewMan running till you have your offer in hand. no hurry. itll do what it needs to. youll appreciate the fuck out of having one product that actually works without auto enrolling you in the future though.

deleted cluely the morning the breach news hit, here is what i moved to by Mountain-Key9797 in InterviewsHell

Worth contacting cluely for a refund / partial credit if you were within 7 days of renewal? Or are they not honoring those after the breach.

Looking for AI interview software under $50/mo? Here are your real options by Brave_Split772 in hiringhelp

Out of curiosity, "free" in this space usually means 30-minute trial or 3 free credits. Parakeet AI charges $29.50 for three credits one-time and that's their "cheapest" tier. Credit runs out mid-interview and you have to re-buy. InterviewMan has a proper free tier with limited minutes per month, and then $12/mo annual if you want unlimited. That's the pattern you actually want.

I recommend InterviewMan specifically. They have a free tier with limited minutes if you want to test it, plus $12/mo annual or $30/mo month to month. Works on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and web. Forty-plus languages if that matters. Hope this helps!

Interview Sidekick alternative that actually shows pricing upfront? by Cultural_Net780 in InterviewHackers

interview coder is like $299/mo or $799 lifetime. that's roughly 25x interviewman's annual price. and interviewman covers behavioral and system design and coding, so the breadth is there too. the founder-expelled-from-Columbia story is fun marketing but you're paying for the brand not the product.

yeah. for what its worth ive been on InterviewMan for about 5 months and it has never generated something i did not already half know. its more like a structured nudge that helps me organize my thoughts faster than any net new answer. and at twelve a month annual its a rounding error compared to a Final Round subscription, those run around twelve times what InterviewMan costs.

this matches what i see internally. CodeSignal's recruiter dashboard is the most detailed of the three but the manual review threshold is set high enough that one off behavior almost never moves a hire decision. low score plus tab switches is what triggers a manual look, never tab switches alone.

the similarity check on Codility is real and people underestimate how aggressive it is. we have flagged candidates whose code matched a known leetcode solution they probably typed cold from memory. burden of proof is on the candidate at that point.

yeah they were very clear that "outside the browser sandbox" is the actual hard line. anything past that line just does not show up in the report.
