Ghostpilot vs LockedIn AI
Both give live answers during interviews, including coding rounds. LockedIn AI covers more platforms; Ghostpilot costs less for a short search and keeps transcription on your Mac.
We make Ghostpilot, so read this with that in mind. Competitor details come from their own public pages (LockedIn AI checked 1 November 2026); prices change often, so check their site before you buy. Product names belong to their owners.
In short: LockedIn AI's cheapest plan is $69.99 a month for 400 copilot minutes, with an unlimited plan at $119.99 a month, on Windows, macOS and mobile. Ghostpilot is a Mac app at €19 for an unlimited week or €4.90 a call.
For a few weeks of interviews on a Mac, Ghostpilot is the lower bill. If you need Windows or a phone app, or want someone you trust to watch and help during the call, LockedIn AI does that and Ghostpilot doesn't.

Where LockedIn AI is the better choice
- Windows, macOS and mobile apps.
- Sessions up to 2 hours, and a Lifetime plan for people who interview often.
- LockedIn Duo lets a helper you invite see your screen and send guidance during the call.
Where Ghostpilot is different
- Priced for a job search. Most searches last weeks, so Ghostpilot sells a 7-day Pass and single calls next to the monthly plan. You don't commit to months you won't use.
- A native Mac app. Ghostpilot is written in Swift for macOS: a menu-bar app with a floating overlay and keyboard shortcuts (⌘⇧S start, ⌘↵ answer, ⌘⇧X screenshot).
- Transcription on your Mac. Speech is turned into text on the Mac by default, about half a second after the interviewer stops, and the audio is never stored.
- Answers from your own CV. Add your CV and the job ad; answers follow your experience and the job's requirements, in bullets or a script, with STAR for behavioural questions.
- Prep included in every plan. Mock interviews with scores (37 role scenarios), question bank from your CV and the job, company interview guides, resume builder with PDF export, CV check, cover letters, job tracker.

- You're on a Mac.
- You're interviewing for weeks, not months.
- You want transcription to happen on your own computer.
- You want prep tools (resume builder, CV check, company guides) in the same account.
Questions
Is Ghostpilot cheaper than LockedIn AI?
For a search of a few weeks, yes: Ghostpilot sells a €19 week or a €4.90 call, while LockedIn AI's shortest paid option is $69.99 (Credits, 1 month). If you interview all year, compare LockedIn AI's longer plans with Ghostpilot Pro at €199 a year.
Does Ghostpilot work on Windows like LockedIn AI?
Not yet. Ghostpilot's live copilot is a native Mac app; the web dashboard (mock interviews, resume builder, question bank) works on any computer. LockedIn AI: Desktop app for Windows and macOS; mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Will the interviewer see Ghostpilot?
The overlay is excluded from screen capture and has no Dock icon. How well that works depends on your macOS version and the app capturing the screen, so Ghostpilot has a built-in stealth test that shows what a viewer would see. No tool can promise 100%, and we don't.
Is my call audio stored?
No. Ghostpilot transcribes on your Mac by default and throws the audio away. With optional cloud transcription, audio passes through our relay to a speech service in the EU and isn't stored.
Does Ghostpilot have something like LockedIn Duo?
No. Ghostpilot doesn't share your screen or audio with another person. Everything you see comes from your CV, the job and the AI.
