Choose by workflow
- Windows and a short period of access: consider Interview Sarthi if you are comfortable supplying a Gemini key. API availability and quotas are a separate dependency.
- Structured practice: inspect mock-interview features and feedback quality before paying for live assistance.
- Occasional calls: compare a credit pack with a time-limited pass using your own expected minutes.
- Mac, mobile or browser requirements: check the vendor's current installation requirements. Interview Sarthi is Windows-only.
Test Hinglish and resume accuracy
A language on a feature list is not a quality measurement. Use the same short mock-call questions with each candidate tool. Include technical English inside a Hindi sentence, a rupee amount and a follow-up about a project. Check transcript meaning and whether answers invent facts about you.
For a repeatable approach, use our Hinglish practice checklist. We have not published a head-to-head performance score.

Before a real interview
Use assistance only where permitted. Read the rules guide, check privacy terms and test your audio setup in a mock call. Screen-share claims are vendor statements, not evidence of permission or a guarantee about every recording system.
