Real experiences using both platforms
"I couldn't afford more than one Interviewing.io session at $150. With Edesy, I practiced every day for a month before my Google interview. The combination of high-volume AI practice plus one calibration session with a real engineer was perfect."

"Interviewing.io engineers are great, but scheduling was a nightmare with my work schedule. Edesy lets me practice at midnight when I'm actually free. I use both, but Edesy is my daily driver."

"I needed behavioral interview help and Interviewing.io doesn't really cover that. Edesy helped me nail my leadership principle questions. The technical prep I got from one Interviewing.io session, but the behavioral prep was all Edesy."

Common questions about the comparison
Interviewing.io connects you with real engineers from top companies for mock interviews at $100+ per session. Edesy uses AI to conduct interviews - it's available 24/7 with a free tier. Interviewing.io offers premium human expertise; Edesy offers accessible daily practice.
For building foundational skills and getting repetition, AI is often more effective because you can practice 10x more. For final preparation, calibration, and handling interview dynamics, human practice with experienced engineers is valuable. The best strategy uses both.
Interviewing.io pays real engineers from FAANG companies to conduct mock interviews. That expertise has real costs. It's worth the price for final-stage preparation, but most candidates can't afford it for daily practice - that's where AI fills the gap.
Absolutely - this is the recommended approach. Use Edesy for daily practice (free, unlimited, 24/7) to build skills and confidence. Use Interviewing.io occasionally (1-2 sessions) before your real interviews for calibration and human feedback.
Edesy. Interviewing.io focuses primarily on technical interviews. Edesy covers behavioral, STAR method, situational questions, leadership principles, and more. If you need behavioral prep, Edesy is the better choice.
Interviewing.io feedback is from experienced engineers who've conducted real interviews - that's invaluable. But it's one session's worth of feedback. Edesy provides detailed AI feedback on every answer, every session. Different value: expert insight vs consistent repetition.
Start with Edesy's free tier for unlimited AI practice. Once you're consistently performing well, consider one Interviewing.io session before your target interview for calibration. You'll get 90% of the benefit at 10% of the cost.
