This is not the InterviewGuard.ai coding-session product. interviewguard.io is a candidate desktop app. Do not mix the two rate cards. Per-interview fees apply on top of the monthly plan.
What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: It looks for 100-plus AI helpers including ChatGPT, Cluely, and InterviewCoder, plus overlays, remote desktop, VMs, VPN location spoofing, deepfakes, and proxy input. Alerts fire during the interview. Setup is pitched as three minutes with no IT project.

$50 prepaid credits Free trial
Why it comes up: Sherlock AI publishes from $100/mo for proxy, lip-sync, and deepfake signals if you want a priced interview-fraud detector.
Stands out: Plans split into Only Fraud Detection, Fraud plus AI Fluency, and a full suite that adds automated interview notes, all with unlimited seats under fair use.
Watch out: Cost per interview depends on which checks each interview uses, so $50 of credits covers anywhere from about 5 to 10 interviews. Enterprise volume pricing is quoted.

Sales-quoted
Why it comes up: HireID is a quoted interview-integrity layer with a live agent inside Zoom, Meet, and Teams rather than a candidate desktop app.
Stands out: An Interview Agent can join the live conference and surface facial, voice, lip-sync, and AI-assist signals without auto-rejecting the candidate, so a human still makes the call.
Watch out: There is no published price or self-serve plan. It is a trust layer on top of your ATS and video tool, not a full interviewing product.
Best for
Sales-quoted API
Why it comes up: Polygraf AI is quoted deepfake and interview-cheating detection without Interview Guard's no-recording desktop-app model.
Stands out: Transcribes interviews and scores AI-coached answers in under 2 seconds, aimed at Cluely, Yoodli, InterviewCoder, and Pickle.
Watch out: The hiring detector is demo-sold. Retail AI-detector plans exist for writing, but those are a different SKU from interview fraud.

Sales-quoted
Why it comes up: HireVue is a full structured video-interview platform, not a fraud overlay you drop onto an existing Zoom screen.
Stands out: Video interviews and validated assessments in one enterprise suite.
Watch out: No published price, and it is far heavier than a small team needs for async video.
