Quick answer
InterviewGPT is a real-time interview assistant: it listens to the conversation and generates suggested answers. The awkward part for a free-plan search is transparency. When we checked the vendor site on November 10, 2026, we could not verify a stable public price or a free-forever plan.
MeetVision AI has a free forever plan that is published, capped, and card-free: on-device speech recognition, the invisible overlay, live notes, free AI model responses, one device, and no credit card. This page compares what you can verify for $0 and where the free plan stops.
Disclosure: We make MeetVision AI, so it is listed first. We say where it is not the right pick. InterviewGPT’s public pricing was not independently verifiable at the time of writing; confirm its current plans on the vendor’s site.

- 1 device desktop activation for macOS & Windows
Why people look for a free InterviewGPT alternative
The search for a free alternative usually starts with one of four problems: the pricing is hard to find, the trial expires before the interview, the assistant lives in the browser where a screen share can see it, or the privacy documentation does not explain where audio goes.
- Pricing transparency: a tool that does not publish a stable free tier is hard to budget for a multi-round search.
- Trial timing: a seven-day trial can expire before your final round, leaving you to pay at the worst moment.
- Browser visibility: a browser-based assistant is part of the browser window you may be sharing.
- Audio location: if the tool streams speech to a cloud service, that is a confidentiality decision, not just a feature.
MeetVision AI vs InterviewGPT at a glance
The table compares the free-plan question with the factors that matter during a live interview: where speech is processed, whether the overlay is excluded from screen capture, and what happens to session data.
| What matters | MeetVision AI | InterviewGPT |
|---|---|---|
| Free forever plan | Yes — no credit card, one device | Not publicly verifiable at the time of writing |
| Published entry price | $0 | No stable public price found on the vendor site |
| Speech recognition | On-device by default; optional disclosed cloud engine | Cloud/browser processing, per its product category |
| Screen-share invisibility | Native operating-system display shields | Browser-based UI can be captured with the browser window |
| Screen context | ScreenVision on-device OCR (advanced option) | Not publicly documented in a way we could verify |
| Session data | RAM-only by default; transcripts stay local unless cloud STT is enabled | Not publicly documented in a way we could verify |
InterviewGPT details are limited to what we could verify on its public site on November 10, 2026. We have deliberately not invented a price or a feature claim.
Is InterviewGPT free?
We could not verify a free-forever plan or a stable public price when we checked the vendor site on November 10, 2026. That does not prove there is no trial; it means the free-plan question cannot be answered confidently from public information.
If a vendor does not publish a clear free tier, budget for the paid plan and check the renewal terms before the interview. A free alternative should be a product you can actually use for the whole search, not a countdown that expires before the final round.
If you are evaluating any interview assistant, ask three questions before sharing audio: Does it publish a price? Where is speech processed? Does it store transcripts after the call?
What the MeetVision free plan includes
The free plan is a real product with published limits, not a trial. It covers the core live workflow on one device and does not ask for a credit card.
- On-device system speech recognition by default. Audio stays on your machine unless you explicitly enable the optional disclosed cloud engine.
- The invisible overlay: a detached header bar plus answers window, excluded from screen capture by native operating-system protections.
- Live transcription and RAM-only notes, cleared when the session ends.
- Free AI model responses, triggered by you rather than automatically.
- One device and no credit card. Paid passes add five hours per day, premium models, ScreenVision, resume/JD matching, and more devices.
What a free plan should cost you
A free plan is only useful if it covers the whole search. The table compares a published free plan with an unverified vendor price.
| Option | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| InterviewGPT | Public price not verified; budget for a paid plan and check the vendor |
| MeetVision AI free plan | $0 forever; one device; standard usage; no credit card |
Paid MeetVision passes exist for heavier use, but the free plan is the only price this article compares. See the pricing page for current paid options.
Where the free plan stops
MeetVision’s free tier is built for the core live workflow, not for unlimited heavy use or a full career platform.
- One device. A paid pass covers more devices if you switch machines.
- Standard usage rather than five hours per day. A heavy interview week may need a pass.
- ScreenVision, resume/JD matching, and premium models are advanced options, not free-tier features.
- No mock-interview library. MeetVision is a live assistant and note-taking overlay.
- Answer generation needs an internet connection to your configured LLM provider; transcription works offline.
Who should switch — and who should not
Switch if you want a published free plan, on-device speech by default, and a native overlay that is excluded from screen capture. Switch if you are comfortable triggering answers yourself.
Do not switch if you specifically want a browser-based assistant that stays inside the interview tab, or if you need a large mock-interview library. Those are different workflows, and a browser tool may fit them better.
Can employers detect AI interview assistants?
Hiding an overlay from screen sharing stops Zoom, Teams, and Meet from capturing it. It does not make any tool undetectable. Proctoring software, locked-down assessment browsers, installed-software checks, and ordinary behaviour can still reveal AI help.
Many employers prohibit AI assistance during evaluated assessments. Check the rules for every company and every round. AI assistants are most defensible for preparation, mock practice, note-taking, and meetings where the organiser permits them.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free InterviewGPT alternative?
Yes. MeetVision AI has a free forever plan with on-device speech recognition, the invisible overlay, live notes, free AI model responses, one device, and no credit card. It is not a trial.
Is InterviewGPT free?
We could not verify a free-forever plan or a stable public price when we checked the vendor site on November 10, 2026. Check interviewgpt.ai for the current trial and pricing terms before relying on it.
What should I check before paying for an AI interview assistant?
Check the renewal price, whether a card is required, where speech is processed, whether transcripts are stored, and whether the overlay is a native window or a browser extension. A low first-month price can hide an expensive renewal.
Does MeetVision AI process audio on my device?
Yes, by default. Speech recognition runs locally on macOS and Windows. An optional cloud streaming engine is disclosed and only used if you explicitly enable it. Only text is sent to the LLM provider you configure for answers.
How does MeetVision stay invisible during a screen share?
It uses native operating-system display shields on macOS and Windows, so the overlay is excluded from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and similar capture paths. It is not a browser extension or a transparent window.
Start free. Upgrade only when a paid pass pays for itself.
Run MeetVision AI on the free plan for on-device transcription, the invisible overlay, and free AI model responses. Paid passes add premium models, ScreenVision, resume matching, and five hours per day when a high-stakes interview loop demands more.
