AI mock interview tools are everywhere now, but most still feel like a chatbot reading from a spreadsheet. If you are preparing for software engineering interviews, that difference matters.
I went through the current options and turned the original PracHub ranking of AI mock interview platforms into a cleaner breakdown for engineers who want to pick a tool quickly.
The short version: the best platform depends on the kind of practice you need. Realistic FAANG-style behavioral prep is a different problem from live coding pressure or speech delivery.
