Bottom line
Interview Guard is a live interview-fraud layer. Candidates install a desktop app. The vendor does not record audio, video, or screenshare. A 7-day trial is on the homepage. Plan dollars are not on a public table, so terms go through the trial or sales.
Stands out for: 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.
Watch out for: This is not the InterviewGuard.ai coding-session product that publishes $6 per session. interviewguard.io is a candidate desktop app. Do not mix the two rate cards. Professional plan dollars are not on a public table.
Overview
Interview Guard watches the candidate machine during a live interview. The candidate installs a lightweight app. The interviewer keeps using Zoom, Teams, Meet, or Webex. Interview Guard does not record the meeting. Alerts cover hidden AI windows, stealth overlays, AnyDesk-style remote input, VMware, VPN geolocation mismatch, and face-manipulation processes.
The homepage offers a 7-day risk-free trial. Enterprise is custom volume pricing. A Professional plan is named without a public dollar amount. Path to a number is trial or sales.

Not ideal for
- Teams that will not ask candidates to install a desktop app
- Buyers who need a printed per-interview dollar on the marketing page today
