Free plan, no card, no catch

A free AI interview assistant with the good part not paywalled

10 minutes of live interview answers, free, once per account. No card, no trial that quietly becomes a subscription, and the free plan is hidden from screen share exactly like every paid one.

Mac and Windows. No card. The free plan never turns into a paid one.
Straight answers

What “free” actually means here

Most tools call themselves free and then paywall the part you came for. Here is precisely what you get and what you do not.

How much is free?

10 minutes of live interview time, once per account, for the life of that account. Minutes are counted only while the assistant is actually listening to a call — reading your resume, setting up and sitting idle cost nothing.

Is a card required?

No. You create an account with an email address, Google or Apple, and the 10 minutes are already there. There is no card on file, so there is nothing that can be charged later.

Does the free plan turn into a paid one?

No. The free plan never turns into a paid one. When the 10 minutes run out the app simply stops answering and tells you. You are never billed by default.

Is the free plan hidden from screen share?

Yes, identically to the paid plans. This is the part almost every competitor puts behind their most expensive tier; here it is an operating-system feature the app uses on every account.

Is anything held back on free?

No. Same model, same full answers, same access to your resume and job description. The only limit is the 10 minutes.

Do the 10 minutes come back every month?

No, and this is worth being straight about: it is 10 minutes once, ever, not 10 minutes a month. It exists so you can prove the tool works before paying, not as a permanent free tier.

Straight answer

Ten minutes is not a whole interview

A page you can trust has to say this part too.

Use them as a rehearsal, not as the real thing.

A real interview runs 30 to 60 minutes. Ten minutes is enough to run a mock call with a friend, confirm the window really is invisible on their screen, and see how the answers read — which is exactly what they are for. Going into a live interview with 10 minutes left is a bad plan, and we would rather you heard that from us than found out halfway through.

If it works, the cheapest step up is Practice.

Practice is $14.99 for 120 minutes to use within 2 days (7 days in India) — enough for one full interview and the prep. For every round of one job, a Sprint is $39.99 for 14 days of unlimited help. If you expect a longer search, the Job Hunt is $119.99 for 30 days. Every plan is paid once and never renews. When your days end, nothing more is charged and nothing needs cancelling: your account goes back to Free, and you buy again only when another interview comes up.

It is not a way around locked-down coding platforms.

ClapAssist is for video interviews. It will not help on HackerRank, CoderPad or similar assessment tools, which monitor focus and keystrokes from inside their own page.

Questions

Free plan questions

Is ClapAssist free to use?

Yes, for 10 minutes of live interview time per account, one time. No card is required and the free plan never turns into a paid one. After that you can buy Practice, a Sprint or a Job Hunt, or stop, and the account stays free either way.

Do I need a credit card for the free plan?

No. You sign up with an email address, Google or Apple, and the 10 free minutes are already on the account. No card is stored, so nothing can be charged automatically.

Does the free trial turn into a paid subscription?

No. The free minutes never turn into a paid plan, and no card is asked for. You buy a plan only if you choose to. Every plan is paid once and simply ends; nothing renews.

Is the free plan hidden from screen share, or is that a paid feature?

The free plan is hidden too; it is not a paid extra. The window is excluded from screen capture by the operating system on every plan, including the free one. Several competitors sell this as their most expensive tier.

Do the free minutes reset every month?

No. It is 10 minutes once per account, for the lifetime of the account, not a recurring monthly allowance.

What happens when the free minutes run out?

The app tells you and stops answering. Your account stays active and your documents stay where they are; you only lose the ability to get live answers until you buy a plan.

Is the free plan limited to shorter or worse answers?

No. Free accounts get the same model and the same full answers as paid ones. The only difference is how many minutes you have.
