Let us clear up the most common confusion first: GirGit AI does not have subscription plans. No Basic, Pro, or Enterprise tiers. No monthly fees. No annual upfront commitment.
It is ₹5 per minute (~$0.04/min). That is the entire price list. You pay only for the minutes you actually use, and you stop paying the second you stop using it. To see how that compares with every subscription and credit-based rival, read the cheapest AI interview assistant breakdown.
Why pay-per-use, not subscriptions
Most candidates do not interview every week of every month. A real job hunt is bursty — three weeks of intense interviewing, then nothing for months until you are looking again. Subscription pricing punishes that pattern.
- No monthly drip when you are not actively interviewing.
- No "I forgot to cancel" charges three months after you took the offer.
- No tier guessing — you do not need to predict whether you will be a "Pro" or "Enterprise" user before your first call.
- No auto-renewal because there is nothing to renew.
What you actually pay
Here is the entire pricing model on one row.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Per-minute rate | ₹5 / min (~$0.04 / min) |
| Free trial | 10 minutes, no card required |
| 30-minute interview | ~₹150 (~$1.10) |
| 60-minute interview | ~₹300 (~$2.20) |
| Top-up minimum | Any amount you choose |
| Top-up methods | UPI, debit card, credit card |
Worked examples — light, active, and intense loads
Use whichever scenario matches your actual interview pipeline.
| Load profile | Interviews / month | Average length | Total minutes | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light — exploring | 1–2 | 30 min | ~60 min | ~₹300 (~$3.60) |
| Active — job hunting | 4–6 | 35 min | ~175 min | ~₹875 (~$10.50) |
| Intense — final crunch | 10–12 | 40 min | ~440 min | ~₹2,200 (~$26) |
Even the intense scenario lands well below a single month of most subscription competitors — and you only paid because you actually interviewed twelve times.
How GirGit compares to subscription tools
Here is the honest math against the major paid alternatives.
| Tool | Headline price | Effective $ / min (typical use) | GirGit savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| LockedIn AI | $69.99 / mo (or $49.99 / mo quarterly) | ~$0.17–$0.39 / min | ~4–10× cheaper |
| Final Round AI | $149 / mo or $500 / yr upfront | Highly variable; documented billing disputes | ~95% cheaper |
| Parakeet AI | $29.50 for 3 credits (1 credit = 1 interview, any length) | Penalizes short interviews | No credit waste |
| Cluely | $20 / mo | Cheap, but 2025 breach exposed 83k+ users transcripts | Same-tier price, clean record |
| Sensei AI | $89 / mo or $288 / yr | Higher; nice "AI Playground" | Far cheaper for actual interviews |
How to top up
- Open the billing section in your GirGit dashboard.
- Pick any amount — many candidates start with ₹150 for one full 30-minute round.
- Pay via UPI (instant), debit card, or credit card.
- Balance shows up immediately. Use it whenever — there is no expiry clock because there is no subscription.
Frequently asked budget questions
- Does my balance expire? No — there is no auto-renewal and no monthly clock to lose unused minutes against.
- Will I be charged for "Listening" idle time? Billing reflects active session time. Stop the session and the meter stops.
- What if I only need GirGit for one interview? Top up ₹150, run your 30-minute call, and you are done. No commitment, no cancel flow.
- Can I top up small amounts? Yes — you choose the amount. Top up just enough for the interviews you have lined up.
A simple budgeting rule
If you have N interviews scheduled in the next two weeks, top up N × ₹150. That covers a 30-minute round each, with comfortable headroom. Anything left over rolls forward to your next interview cycle, whenever that is.
The fairest interview-tool pricing is the one that disappears when you do not need it — and GirGit is built around exactly that.
