AmberFox vs LockedIn AI

What each product is

AmberFox is a native desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11. It listens to the interviewer through your computer's own audio output — ScreenCaptureKit on macOS, WASAPI loopback on Windows — and within seconds surfaces 3–5 short bullet answer cues built from your own CV and the specific job post. No bot joins the call. The window is excluded from screen sharing at the OS level. AmberFox is built around a tight set of interview tools: the live assistant, a fully voiced AI mock interviewer, and a CV optimizer — three features that work best together.

LockedIn AI (their own claims: 58,000+ users) is a real-time interview and coding-assessment assistant and "meeting copilot," strongly focused on technical and coding-assessment rounds. It integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for standard interviews, and connects directly to coding-assessment platforms including HireVue, CodeSignal, and HackerRank. It provides real-time code solutions, debugging assistance, and follow-up handling tailored to those environments. Pricing includes a free daily allowance, credit-based plans, and unlimited subscription plans with credits that never expire and a money-back guarantee. See lockedinai.com for full details.

Where they differ most

CV personalization vs coding-assessment integration

This is the clearest fork between the two products. AmberFox's cues are always built from the specific CV and job post you provided — the AI knows your background and surfaces it in the moment you need it. The bullets aren't generic advice; they reference your actual projects, metrics, and experience. You sound like yourself, only sharper. LockedIn AI leans into coding-assessment integrations — it connects directly to HireVue, CodeSignal, and HackerRank for real-time code solutions and debugging. If you're facing a structured coding-assessment platform, LockedIn has a more direct integration; if you want your real experience to anchor every cue, AmberFox is designed for that.

Voiced mock interview practice

AmberFox's voiced mock interview runs a full spoken practice session — the AI asks questions aloud, listens to your spoken answers, follows up, and produces a scored feedback report with strengths and areas to improve. It covers five interview types: HR, behavioral, technical, coding, and system design, at junior, mid, or senior level. This is the tool you use before the real interview to build muscle memory. Voiced practice is not a prominently stated feature of LockedIn AI.

Pricing structure

AmberFox uses straightforward monthly or quarterly subscriptions with unlimited live interview sessions starting at €39/month — no credits to track, no per-session costs. LockedIn AI offers both credit-based and unlimited structures, with a free tier that provides a daily allowance. Credits never expire and there's a money-back guarantee. If you prefer to pay as you go and keep usage light most months, LockedIn's credit-based model may suit you. If you want predictable unlimited access across an active job search, AmberFox's flat subscription is simpler.

Whole-loop coverage vs coding focus

LockedIn AI is strongly optimized for the technical and coding-assessment phase. AmberFox covers the full interview loop: HR screens, behavioral rounds, technical discussions, coding problems (via the screen-capture hotkey), and system-design questions — with the same CV-grounded cues throughout, plus voiced practice and a CV optimizer. If your process includes stages beyond coding assessments, AmberFox is designed for the full picture.

When LockedIn AI might be the better fit

Honest comparison means saying when the other tool wins. LockedIn AI may be the better choice if:

• —You live in coding-assessment platforms. LockedIn AI's direct integrations with HireVue, CodeSignal, and HackerRank — real-time code solutions, debugging, and follow-up handling tailored to those environments — are a meaningful advantage if your upcoming process is built around structured online assessments.
• —You want a free daily allowance to dip in. LockedIn AI's free tier (approximately 10 minutes of assistance per day) lets you use the product regularly without paying. AmberFox's free trial is a one-time offer — after that, a paid plan is required for continued access.
• —You prefer credit-based pay-as-you-go. If your interview volume is irregular, LockedIn's credit-based option with non-expiring credits may be more economical than a flat monthly subscription, depending on their current credit pricing.

What AmberFox includes

The live interview assistant hears the interviewer through system audio and surfaces 3–5 bullets within seconds, drawn from your CV and job post. A screen-capture hotkey lets you point the AI at a coding problem or diagram on screen so it analyses the actual content rather than guessing from audio alone. Three AI models — Swift (~1–2s), Balanced (~2–5s), Mastermind (~5–10s) — are switchable mid-interview.

Before the real interview, the voiced mock interviewer runs a full spoken practice session and produces a scored feedback report. The CV optimizer tailors your CV to a specific job post and generates a matching cover letter — exported as clean PDFs, without inventing experience you don't have.
