The verdict

InterviewsBy AI is a basic prep tool that generates practice questions — but it cannot help you during the actual interview. Interview AI Buddy is a complete interview solution: real-time live answers in ~95ms, invisible on screen share, AI Resume Builder, Cover Letter Generator, LinkedIn Optimizer, interview scoring reports, screen capture / OCR mode, 36+ languages, and 2,000+ interview topics.

For just $6 more per month ($15 vs $9), you get a tool that does everything InterviewsBy does (mock practice) plus everything it cannot do: live real-time answers, custom YAML knowledge bases, dual-model AI pipeline, screen capture for coding exams, and a full career toolkit. Interview AI Buddy is the obvious choice — it is the only tool you need for both preparation and the real interview.
