Can we talk about how annoying “free trials” have become? You sign up for something that claims to be free, and boom – they want your credit card. Then you forget to cancel and suddenly you’re out $50.<\/p>\n

I spent last weekend testing every AI interview assistant I could find to figure out which ones are actually free. Not “free for 3 days” free. Actually, genuinely, no-strings-attached free.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I found.<\/p>\n

The “Free” Spectrum<\/h2>\n

First, let’s be real about what “free” means for these tools. There’s a range:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/rect><\/path><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/p>\n

Actually Free<\/p>\n

Recurring free credits every month, no card needed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Limited Free<\/p>\n

Some free usage, but you’ll need to pay eventually<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Free” Trial<\/p>\n

Needs credit card, auto-charges after trial ends<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Winners: Tools That Are Actually Free<\/h2>\n

LastRound AI<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

This is the one I ended up sticking with. You get 15 free credits every month. Not once – every month. And they don’t ask for a credit card.<\/p>\n

The free tier includes the desktop app, the invisible screen share thing, and even their resume builder. It’s honestly more generous than it needs to be.<\/p>\n

Google Interview Warmup<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Completely free, no account needed. It’s basic – you answer questions and it gives feedback on filler words, speaking speed, stuff like that. No real-time help during actual interviews though.<\/p>\n

Good for practice. Not useful for live interviews.<\/p>\n

LockedIn AI<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

They give you 10 free credits when you sign up, plus 10 minutes of daily free access. The daily thing is nice if you’re patient and don’t mind using it in short bursts.<\/p>\n

The interface is more complex than others. Takes time to learn.<\/p>\n

Verve AI<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

3 free copilot sessions (15 minutes each). That’s 45 minutes total. Enough to try it out but not enough to rely on long-term without paying.<\/p>\n

Their free AI tools (mock interviews, question banks) are actually pretty solid though.<\/p>\n

The “Meh” Tier: Limited Free Options<\/h2>\n

These have free options but with some catches:<\/p>\n
