Sounding Inauthentic
Cluely's AI scripts can feel generic. InterviewIQ uses your own pre-written answers first, so you always sound like yourself—just more prepared.
Paying for a Subscription You Don't Use
Job searches have ups and downs. Cluely's subscription model charges you even when you have no interviews. InterviewIQ's credits never expire, so you only pay for what you need.
The Stress of Being 'Caught'
Using a 'stealth mode' tool adds another layer of anxiety. InterviewIQ is a transparent prep assistant, not a cheat engine. Focus on your answers, not on hiding your tool.
Users who want a fully AI-driven script for last-minute interviews and are comfortable with a recurring subscription fee.
Professionals who prepare for interviews and want a tool to ensure they deliver their best, most authentic answers under pressure.
No. InterviewIQ is designed as a transparent preparation assistant. We believe the goal is to help you be your best, not to deceive anyone. This approach reduces your stress and helps you focus on the conversation.
That's where our smart AI comes in. If InterviewIQ doesn't find a pre-written answer from you, it instantly generates tailored talking points based on your uploaded resume and the job description, ensuring the suggestions are still highly relevant to your experience.
Most job seekers don't have interviews every week. Our credit system is more flexible and cost-effective. You only pay for the interviews you have, and the credits never expire. This saves you money compared to a recurring subscription you might not fully use.
Absolutely. Because InterviewIQ's primary function is to surface *your* own prepared notes and answers, it ensures your natural voice and personality shine through. The AI is a fallback, not the default, which is a key difference from other tools.
Stop memorizing scripts and start having confident conversations. Let InterviewIQ be your personal prep assistant in every live interview.
