The verdict

Interview Coder costs 4x more at $60/mo, only works on Mac, and only handles coding interviews. If coding is all you need and you use a Mac, it gets the job done — but you are paying a steep premium for a narrow tool.

Interview AI Buddy supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, handles coding, behavioral STAR, and system design interviews, and includes a full career toolkit — AI resume builder, cover letter generator, and LinkedIn optimizer. Add in custom YAML knowledge bases, a dual-model Groq + GPT pipeline for ~95ms answers, interview scoring, mock interviews, and 2,000+ topics, and it is clear: at $15/mo you get dramatically more for 75% less.
