Quick answer: a fresher can start with 30 free minutes, practise the common placement questions, and then buy ₹99 for 30 minutes or ₹299 for 3 hours when the real drives begin. The time from those packs never expires, so one purchase can last from the first company of the season to the last.
CrackInterviewAI is a Windows 10/11 app. It listens to the interviewer's question in English, Hindi or Hinglish, or reads a typed question or a screenshot, and shows a short answer you can say in your own words, based on your resume and the role.
Why freshers need a budget plan, not a subscription
Placement season does not run every day. There is a burst of drives, a gap, then another company. Paying every month for that pattern wastes money in the quiet weeks.
Minutes from the Basic, Standard and 10-Hour packs have no expiry date. Buy a pack before placement season and use it across rounds over weeks or months; only Monthly Unlimited is a 30-day plan, and pack time you held before it comes back when it ends. That suits a season where the next interview may be two weeks away.
What each pack costs
1. Basic: ₹99 for 30 minutes, enough for one HR round or a short technical screen.
2. Standard: ₹299 for 3 hours, the usual choice for a few companies.
3. 10-Hour Pack: ₹799 for 10 hours, for a long job search, at ₹1.33 a minute.
4. Monthly Unlimited: ₹2,499 for 30 days, for daily interviews. It works on one Windows PC.
Plans are prepaid and do not renew on their own. Every plan includes all the app features, from voice answers to screenshot questions and resume-based answers. Current amounts and any live offer are on the pricing page.
A placement season for ₹299
Say three companies each hold a 30-minute technical interview and a 20-minute HR round. That is 2 hours 30 minutes in total, and the cheapest way to cover it is 1 × Standard: ₹299 for the whole season.
Practise before that with the 30 free minutes: "Tell me about yourself", your final-year project, OOP basics, a simple SQL query and "Why should we hire you?". Practice is where most of the improvement happens, and it costs nothing.
Set up the app once, before the first drive
1. Download the Windows app and sign in. New accounts get 30 free minutes.
2. Add an About Me introduction and upload your resume (PDF, DOCX or TXT), so project and "tell me about yourself" answers use your real details.
3. Choose your field and skills, so technical answers use the languages and tools you know.
4. Play a practice question through your own headset and meeting app, and check the transcript.
5. Close the app after each session. Time is counted while the app is open.
Shortcuts, so the mouse stays still
CapsLock opens the question box, Delete generates the answer, Alt captures a screenshot, Esc clears, Ctrl+Space hides or shows the window and the arrow keys scroll the answer. You do not have to move the mouse to another window and click while your screen is shared, so the editor or browser you are sharing stays in front. The shortcut-first workflow guide shows the full key map.
Use it the right way in campus rounds
Online aptitude and coding tests in a campus drive are usually proctored, and live help is not allowed there. Use the app to rehearse for those tests and for interviews, and use live help only where the interview rules allow it.
Say every answer in your own words. An interviewer will ask a follow-up, and you need to understand your own project well enough to explain the next step.
