The Best LockedIn AI Alternative
Real-time AI answers, OS-level stealth, and pay-as-you-go pricing with credits that never expire. Amigo covers everything LockedIn AI does — plus Buddy mode it doesn't.
Why people look for an alternative
LockedIn AI is a popular, broad interview-prep copilot — but a few gaps send users looking elsewhere.
Subscription & Credit Limits
LockedIn AI is built around subscription tiers with usage credits. You pay every month whether or not you have interviews scheduled — and heavier sessions can burn through credits faster than expected.
Not Hidden at OS Process Level
LockedIn AI focuses on screen-share invisibility, but it is not hidden from Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (macOS). Interviewers who check running processes can spot it.
No Buddy Collaboration
LockedIn AI is AI-only. There is no way to bring a trusted friend or mentor into your session for live human support alongside the AI.
How Amigo pulls ahead
6 places Amigo outperforms LockedIn AI.
Buddy Feature
Invite a trusted friend or mentor via a shareable link. They watch your interview in real time and send AI-assisted tips through your Amigo overlay. No other tool offers this two-layer support system.
Deep Stealth Mode
Amigo is hidden from screen share, Dock, Taskbar, Task Manager, System Monitor, and Activity Monitor. LockedIn AI's stealth stops at the screen-share level — Amigo's goes down to the OS process list.
Pay-As-You-Go Pricing
Amigo uses credits you buy once — from $15 for 60 minutes — and they never expire. No monthly subscription to cancel, no recurring charge between job searches.
Under 0.3s Response
Amigo surfaces short, personalized, natural answers the moment your interviewer finishes speaking. No CTRL+ENTER required — just seamless, in-the-moment support.
Coding Interview Copilot
Amigo reads your screen during live coding challenges and provides hints, pseudocode, time complexity analysis, and working solutions in real time.
Natural STAR Answers
Responses are tailored to your resume and the specific job description — structured in STAR format and adjusted to your preferred length (Concise, Balanced, or Detailed).
