Honest take

Where Pramp is better

We would rather be honest about this than pretend we are better at everything. Pramp has real strengths.

Completely free forever

No credit limit, no subscription. If budget is your primary constraint, Pramp is hard to beat.

Real human interaction

Practising with another person builds social comfort and puts you under the kind of interpersonal pressure you will actually face in the room.

Shared code editor

Pramp offers a collaborative code editor for coding interviews, which a voice-only tool simply cannot match.

Our strengths

Where Instant Interview is better

No scheduling required

Practise at 2 a.m. if that is when you have time. No waiting for a partner, no calendar coordination. No-shows are not a thing.

Quantified, trackable feedback

Every session produces a STAR score, WPM reading, filler word rate, and relevance percentage. You can track improvement across sessions instead of relying on a thumbs-up from a stranger.

Five interview types, not just coding

Behavioural, technical, case study, leadership, and casual. Most candidates need practice across multiple formats.

Company-specific questions

Enter your target company and the AI researches their culture, products, and known interview style before you start.

Consistent quality

No bad partners or mismatched skill levels. No awkward silences because the other person is unprepared.

Voice-first practice

Interviews are won or lost by how you speak. Instant Interview practises the skill that actually matters in the room.

10 free credits on signup. No credit card required.

Is it for you?

Consider switching if…

You are tired of partner no-shows or mismatched skill levels on Pramp.

You need behavioural or leadership interview practice, which Pramp does not cover well.

You want measurable progress: STAR scores, WPM trends, filler rate tracking over time.

You want to practise on your own schedule.

You have a specific company interview coming up and want questions matched to that company.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Instant Interview free?
You get 10 free credits on signup — enough for roughly 10 minutes of practice. After that, paid plans start at £7.99/mo for 60 credits. You only use credits for the minutes you actually practise.
Can I still use Pramp too?
Yes, and many users do. They complement each other well: Pramp for free peer coding practice, Instant Interview for structured voice practice with quantified feedback across all interview types.
Does Instant Interview do coding interviews?
Yes, technical interviews are one of five types available. They cover system design, problem-solving approaches, and algorithms discussion by voice. There is no shared code editor though. If writing code on screen is your priority, Pramp is the better tool for that.
How is AI feedback different from peer feedback?
AI feedback is quantified and consistent. Every session scores your STAR structure, speaking pace (WPM), filler word rate, and answer relevance. Peer ratings vary because every partner evaluates differently; these metrics give you an objective baseline you can track over time.
What interview types does Instant Interview support?
Five types: behavioural, technical, case study, leadership, and casual (culture fit). You can also add a target company, and the AI will research it before your session to shape the questions around that organisation.
