LockedIn AI Review: Pricing, Refunds & Is It Worth It?

If you are considering LockedIn AI for live interviews, compare the cost of unlimited use before committing. Its captured monthly Unlimited offer was $139.99 with a promotion applied; SkillCopilotAI's monthly plan is $89.90 with unlimited included use during the paid term. SkillCopilotAI also lets you read answers, request desktop screenshots and ask questions from a phone browser connected to your desktop session.

This review checks LockedIn's pricing, refund restrictions and detection claims so you can decide whether those terms fit your needs. Trustpilot currently withholds its overall rating and displays a guidelines warning. If you want desktop interview and coding help with phone access and a choice of models, compare SkillCopilotAI's plans and try the 30-minute desktop trial. The price evidence and account limits are explained below.

Disclosure: SkillCopilotAI publishes this review and develops a competing interview assistant. LockedIn AI did not pay for, review, or approve it. We did not subscribe to LockedIn AI. The original research on November 3, 2026 covered: LockedIn AI's pricing, refund policy, support FAQ, safety page, homepage and stealth-mode blog post, its Trustpilot profile, and Interview Coder's article on LockedIn detection. Prices and policies change, so recheck them before paying.

November 4 update: we rechecked Trustpilot's rating status, captured LockedIn AI's 3-month pricing tab, and checked SkillCopilotAI's current features, Mobile Mirror and model entitlements. Other source observations retain their November 3 dates.

What you are paying for with LockedIn AI

LockedIn AI listens to interview audio and shows suggested answers. Its paid feature list covers live, coding, assessment, phone and mock interviews, model selection and claimed desktop stealth. Credits users spend minutes on these tasks; mock interviews use half the live-session credit rate.

Two additional features may affect your choice: Duo lets an invited helper see your screen, hear the audio and send guidance, while Predict uses company information to suggest likely questions and is labeled beta. If you mainly need live answers, coding screenshots and mock practice, compare the price and usage allowance for those tasks directly with SkillCopilotAI below.

It runs as a browser app, a desktop app for Windows and macOS, and iOS and Android apps. The company behind it is Cyber Gravity LLC, a US limited liability company; charges appear on statements as "LOCKEDIN AI".

LockedIn AI pricing

The pricing page applies a promo code, LOCKIN50, automatically and advertises "50% OFF forever — limited time only". The monthly prices below were captured on November 3; we rechecked the 3-month tab on November 4. The monthly offers show a 50% reduction. On the quarterly tab, the crossed-out prices refer to the standard month-to-month rate, rather than twice the quarterly monthly equivalent.

Quarterly pricing: what the discount compares with

The official pricing page, with 3 months selected and LOCKIN50 applied on November 4, showed:

• Credits: $49.99 per month equivalent, billed every 3 months, with 20 hours of live assistance or 40 hours of mock practice. Three monthly equivalents total $149.97.
• Unlimited: $79.99 per month equivalent, billed every 3 months, with unlimited live and mock sessions. Three monthly equivalents total $239.97.

The page explicitly compares these prices with standard month-to-month rates of $139.98 and $279.98, displaying rounded savings of 64% and 71%. That is a different comparison from the banner's 50% promotion. The totals above are arithmetic from the displayed monthly equivalents, not a checkout receipt; confirm the final charge and any taxes before purchasing.

A few details matter more than the headline numbers:

• The quarterly price is billed up front. $49.99/mo on Credits is about $150 every 3 months, and $79.99/mo on Unlimited is about $240.
• Credits never expire, according to the pricing FAQ. If you run out mid-interview, the app offers a one-time top-up.
• Stealth mode, Duo and the professional models need an active subscription. The support FAQ says leftover credits keep working only with the general models once a subscription ends.
• The pricing page showed no annual plan, although the refund policy still describes one.
• The FAQ says subscriptions cost more in the mobile app, so compare before buying on a phone.

LockedIn AI vs SkillCopilotAI

SkillCopilotAI is our product, so weigh this section with that in mind.

SkillCopilotAI features, prices and models checked against its pricing page and product site on November 4, 2026.

When SkillCopilotAI is the better-priced option

If you need unlimited live assistance, SkillCopilotAI costs $50.09 less for one month: $89.90 versus LockedIn's captured $139.99 monthly Unlimited offer. Over a 3-month term, SkillCopilotAI's $179.70 is $60.27 less than the $239.97 calculated from LockedIn's $79.99 monthly equivalent. These comparisons use the dated prices above and exclude any checkout taxes.

That buys unlimited included use for the paid period, desktop interview and coding assistance, and Mobile Mirror access from your phone. The model pool depends on whether you choose monthly, quarterly or yearly. LockedIn's $69.99 monthly Credits tier costs less than SkillCopilotAI monthly, but includes 400 live minutes; decide whether the quota or unlimited usage better fits your schedule.

What SkillCopilotAI includes

Use the included tools throughout the paid account period. Live assistance, mock practice, Coding Copilot, Online Quiz Assistant and Smart Screenshot are unlimited during an active subscription, rather than a pack of minutes or answers to spend. A 30-minute trial lets you check the workflow first. Both products sell unlimited subscriptions; compare those plans separately from LockedIn's Credits tier.

You can customize responses and supply resume, role and company context. The desktop overlay supports behavioral, technical, coding and system-design workflows, including question capture and coding screenshot analysis. The product overview explains the supported setup; response quality still depends on the question and supplied context.

Phone access through Mobile Mirror

Mobile Mirror brings an existing desktop session to a phone browser. You can read new AI answers on the phone, request a desktop screenshot and type questions to the session's current model. Remote screenshots must first be allowed in the desktop app and follow its capture settings.

This gives you a second screen for answers and controls without installing another phone app. It is a companion to the desktop session, rather than a claim that a phone independently captures the entire interview. The homepage demonstration shows the connection and phone workflow.

Models by account type

The published model lists, checked November 4, show:

All models included in the account type are listed as unlimited during the paid validity period. Yearly billing is $346.80 up front ($28.90/month equivalent); quarterly is $179.70 ($59.90/month equivalent). Model availability can change. We have not run a head-to-head model benchmark.

Refunds and cancellation

LockedIn AI's refund policy (effective May 28, 2024, last updated October 14, 2026) is one of the stricter ones in this category:

• Monthly and quarterly subscriptions: non-refundable once started. Cancelling keeps access until the billing cycle ends, with no prorated credit.
• Annual subscriptions: a partial refund if cancelled within 7 days of purchase.
• Lifetime: a full refund within 7 days only if you have not started a session. After your first session it is non-refundable.
• Billing errors, duplicate charges and undelivered products are refunded. Eligible refunds take 5–10 business days.
• Outages caused by third-party providers are not refunded, though the company may offer credits at its discretion.
• App Store purchases are handled by Apple's refund rules, not LockedIn's.

The pricing page also shows "Money-back guarantee*", "Cancel anytime" and "Credits never expire". Read the asterisk: it points to the refund policy above. In practice, the policy tells you to use the free plan to decide, because a paid monthly or quarterly plan cannot be refunded once it starts.

To cancel a web or desktop subscription, use the Stripe subscription management link in your account dashboard. App Store and Google Play subscriptions must be cancelled in the store.

What LockedIn AI users say

Trustpilot: overall rating unavailable, 120 reviews visible, 61 in the last 12 months. On November 4, 2026, the original Trustpilot profile displayed a warning that its rating was unavailable because of a breach of platform guidelines. It also stated that it had removed a number of fake reviews for the company. The page did not establish when the warning began, how many reviews were removed or who submitted them, so we do not infer those details.

The remaining displayed distribution was 65% five-star, 7% four-star, 4% three-star, under 1% two-star and 23% one-star. Those percentages are not an available TrustScore or an independent endorsement. The individual reviews remain useful as attributed accounts, with the platform warning kept in view.

The positive reviews (August–October 2026) praise fast answer generation, the resume and job-description tailoring, the interview prediction feature, and helpful support. One reviewer wrote that support sorted out a plan mix-up after they first bought a plan that did not include stealth mode.

The one-star reviews (June–September 2026) repeat the same complaints:

• Refunds refused after minimal use. One reviewer (September 30) said they used it for 10 minutes and were told that made them ineligible. Another (June 16) asked for a refund within an hour and was told to change settings and run more test sessions first.
• Cancellation is hard to find. "Almost impossible to cancel — the docs are out of date" (August 4). Another reviewer (July 20) described an automatic renewal and no clear cancel button.
• Reliability. One reviewer (July 3) said answers stopped arriving halfway through, then later updated that a refund had been offered.

These are individual users' claims, not verified facts. They do line up with the refund policy above: the product is sold on the assumption that you will test it for free first.

Reddit. Gemini cited an r/recruitinghell thread titled "Beware of LockedInAI: they don't acknowledge their product's failures and refuse refunds". Reddit blocked our automated browser, so we did not read it and do not quote it.

Is LockedIn AI detectable?

This is the question users ask most, and the two main sources disagree.

• LockedIn AI's own claim. Its blog post says the desktop app "stays fully hidden" on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet. It says the window is excluded from screen capture at the operating-system level, and that the process runs under an "aliased" name that proctoring tools will not flag. The support FAQ says stealth mode is on by default in the desktop app. The same post admits that the browser extension "can appear in a shared tab or shared window".
• Interview Coder's article (June 11, 2026) argues that the browser extension is detectable by default, because it renders inside the browser you share. It calls the desktop app's stealth claims "unverified". Interview Coder sells a competing tool, so read it with the same caution as LockedIn's blog post.

We did not test either version. What both sources agree on is that the browser version is the risky one if you share your screen. No software can hide your eye movements, pauses, or a coding platform's own focus and paste tracking. More importantly, using live AI help may break an employer's interview rules, whether or not anyone notices.

Is LockedIn AI safe and private?

The "is it safe" page says the app uses a "privacy-first, on-device design", stores user data in an encrypted, access-controlled database, and does not sell or share user data. It also says Duo helpers see only what you allow inside the session. These are vendor statements; we have no independent audit to check them against.

Two practical points from the support FAQ: the app needs microphone and, on macOS, Screen & System Audio Recording permission to hear the interviewer, and answers saved in Q&A Prep are stored on your account. Do not upload anything confidential from a current employer.

What to check before choosing a plan

LockedIn's Duo and Predict may matter if you specifically need an invited human helper or company-question prediction. For desktop AI guidance, coding screenshots, phone access and model choice, start with SkillCopilotAI's trial and test those tasks before selecting a paid term. For a wider selection, see our LockedIn AI alternatives.

Our verdict: compare unlimited use before paying

For candidates who want live desktop answers, coding screenshot help and a phone screen for guidance, SkillCopilotAI is worth putting first in the trial shortlist. It offers those tasks with unlimited included use during the paid account period, plus 3, 6 or 10 models by plan. Its monthly and quarterly unlimited subscriptions cost less than the corresponding LockedIn Unlimited offers captured above.

Download SkillCopilotAI for the 30-minute trial. Try one question from your resume, one coding screenshot and Mobile Mirror on your phone; then choose the model pool and billing period you need. Monthly access is $89.90; annual access is $346.80 paid up front. Use interview assistance where permitted, and judge the answers on your own practice questions.

Frequently asked questions

Is LockedIn AI legit?

Its official pages identify Cyber Gravity LLC as the company offering LockedIn AI, with desktop and mobile apps and a published refund policy. We did not test the product. On November 4, Trustpilot listed 120 reviews but withheld the overall rating and displayed a guidelines warning. Read the original profile alongside the individual accounts; neither the warning nor an individual review establishes every customer's experience.

How much does LockedIn AI cost?

The November 3 monthly capture showed Credits at $69.99/month and Unlimited at $139.99/month with LOCKIN50 applied. On November 4, the 3-month tab showed $49.99/month equivalent for Credits and $79.99/month equivalent for Unlimited; Lifetime was $999.50 once. The quarterly tab compares its rates with standard month-to-month prices, not simply twice the quarterly rate. See the dated screenshots and official pricing page.

Does LockedIn AI have a free trial?

It has a free plan with no credit card required. Stealth mode, Duo and the professional models need a paid subscription.

Can I get a refund from LockedIn AI?

Not on monthly or quarterly plans once they start. Annual plans can get a partial refund within 7 days. Lifetime is refundable within 7 days only if you have not started a session. Billing errors and duplicate charges are refunded.

How do I cancel LockedIn AI?

On web or desktop, use the Stripe subscription management link in your account dashboard. On iPhone or Android, cancel in the App Store or Google Play. Cancelling keeps access until the end of the billing period, with no refund.

Is LockedIn AI detectable?

LockedIn AI says its desktop app stays hidden from screen sharing. Its own blog admits the browser extension can appear in a shared tab or window. We did not test it, and no tool can hide your behaviour or override an employer's rules.

Is LockedIn AI better than Final Round AI?

LockedIn AI offers a free plan, but its Trustpilot score is currently unavailable, so a current score comparison would be misleading. Final Round AI has a 72-hour refund policy that covers monthly plans, subject to its eligibility conditions. Compare the features, terms and evidence in our Final Round AI review.

Sources and review method

We checked these pages on November 3, 2026 (UTC+8): the LockedIn AI pricing page on both the Monthly and 3-month tabs; the refund policy; the support FAQ; the "is it safe" page; the terms of service; the homepage; the blog post "Can LockedIn AI Be Detected?"; the Trustpilot profile; and Interview Coder's "Is LockedIn AI Detectable? (2026)". We started from the questions ChatGPT and Gemini suggested and the pages they cited, but verified every figure ourselves. We did not subscribe, so answer quality, latency and stealth claims are not assessed.

How we researched the questions

We asked ChatGPT and Gemini how a user researching LockedIn AI would phrase their questions. The same ones came back. Is LockedIn AI legit? Is it detectable by interviewers? Is it worth the money? Can I get a refund? Is it safe and private? How does it compare with Final Round AI or Interview Coder?

In their answers, both assistants leaned on a short list of pages: the Trustpilot profile, LockedIn AI's own pricing, refund, privacy, terms, support and "is it safe" pages, LockedIn's blog post on stealth mode, Interview Coder's "Is LockedIn AI Detectable?" article, and a Reddit r/recruitinghell thread about refused refunds. ChatGPT answered the detection question from LockedIn's own FAQ alone.

We used those questions to structure this review, but we did not copy the AI answers. Every number below was checked on the source page.
