LockedIn AI is one of the most recognizable names in the AI interview copilot space. GirGit AI is the newer challenger. Both offer real-time answers during interviews, work across Zoom / Teams / Meet, and stay invisible on screen shares. So which one should you actually pay for?
We ran both through the same 10 mock interviews — technical, behavioral, and coding — and compared them on pricing, accuracy, and user experience. Here's the verdict.
The pricing gap is enormous
LockedIn AI's cheapest plan is the Quarterly at $49.99/month (billed $149.97 every 3 months), including 20 hours of copilot time. The monthly plan is $69.99/month with 400 minutes. Lifetime sits at $1,499.25.
GirGit AI charges ₹5/min (~$0.04/min) with no subscription. You top up only when you need minutes.
Let's do the math for a realistic candidate doing 4 interviews per month at 45 minutes each — 180 minutes of actual use:
| Plan | Cost for 180 min | Effective $/min |
|---|---|---|
| GirGit AI (pay-per-use) | ₹540 (~$6.50) | $0.036 |
| LockedIn AI Quarterly | $49.99/mo flat | $0.28 |
| LockedIn AI Monthly | $69.99/mo flat | $0.39 |
LockedIn AI costs 6–11× more than GirGit AI for the same usage. Even if you use all 400 minutes of LockedIn's monthly plan, that's $0.17/min — still more than 4× GirGit's rate.
Feature comparison
| Feature | GirGit AI | LockedIn AI |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time transcription | Yes | Yes |
| Context-aware answers (resume + JD) | Yes | Yes |
| Invisible overlay on screen share | Yes | Yes |
| Zoom / Teams / Meet support | Yes | Yes |
| Coding assistance | Yes (Python, Java, C++, JS, more) | Yes (VSCode/Cursor integration) |
| Free trial | 10 minutes | 5 minutes |
| Languages supported | Multiple | 42 languages |
| Pay-per-use | Yes | No |
| Human OA/coding help booking | Yes | No |
| UPI / INR pricing | Yes | No |
| Lifetime deal | Not needed (pay-per-use) | $1,499.25 |
Feature-for-feature, both tools cover the essentials well. LockedIn has a slight edge in language count (42 vs. GirGit's smaller list) and a quirky "Duo" feature that lets a friend type answers to you live. GirGit has a bigger edge in the one place that matters: a booking system for real human OA/coding round help, which LockedIn does not offer at all.
Where LockedIn wins
LockedIn AI does have some advantages worth noting. If you're a heavy user running 15+ interviews every single month without pause, the monthly unlimited model starts to make sense financially. The VSCode/Cursor integration is nicer than GirGit's standalone coding overlay if you live in those editors. And the 42-language support is genuinely broader than GirGit's current offering.
Where GirGit wins
Cost for real-world usage. Most candidates interview in bursts — 3–5 interviews in a month when actively job-searching, then nothing. A subscription wastes money during quiet periods. Pay-per-use fits the actual interview cycle.
Zero commitment. No credit card saved, no auto-renewal, no "cancel before your next billing cycle" anxiety. Top up, use, done.
Human help on top of AI. GirGit's booking system lets you reserve a real expert for OA rounds — something no pure AI tool offers. For candidates who hit a wall on a live coding round, this is a lifeline that LockedIn simply does not provide.
Indian market fit. UPI, INR pricing, WhatsApp support. If you're interviewing from India, LockedIn's USD-only billing and support are friction.
The verdict
Pick LockedIn AI if: you're interviewing at 15+ places a month, you live in VSCode/Cursor, or you need a non-English language that GirGit doesn't yet support.
Pick GirGit AI if: you want the cheapest option for normal interview load, you value no-commitment pricing, you need human-assisted OA help, or you're interviewing from India. For the vast majority of candidates, this is the smarter choice.
Subscriptions make sense when you use a tool every day. Interview assistants are not that — you use them in bursts. Pay-per-use matches reality. That's why GirGit AI wins on value for most candidates.
