Published · Updated · 6 min read

AssistBee's free plan, Quick Pass, Interview Pass and monthly Pro in rupees, and what the same interview time costs with CrackInterviewAI.

Quick answer: on 19 October 2026, AssistBee's pricing page listed a free plan with 10 AI responses a day, a ₹199 Quick Pass for one 45-minute session, a ₹499 Interview Pass for 2 hours and Pro at ₹1,099 a month that renews until cancelled. CrackInterviewAI costs ₹99 for 30 minutes and ₹299 for 3 hours, so a 2-hour block costs ₹299 instead of ₹499.

CrackInterviewAI is our product, a Windows 10/11 interview assistant. AssistBee's published facts come first, with the date we checked them, then the cost of real interview schedules.

They are prepaid time top-ups with no subscription or auto-renewal, unused time stays in your account balance, and new accounts get 30 free minutes. Time is counted while the app is open, so close it between interviews.

What a real interview schedule costs

Cheapest way to buy each total from zero balance, base prices, rounded to whole rupees. AssistBee Pro is used where one month of it costs less than its passes.

1. 30 minutes: AssistBee ₹199 (1 × Quick Pass); CrackInterviewAI ₹99 (1 × Basic), about 50% less.

2. 45 minutes: AssistBee ₹199 (1 × Quick Pass); CrackInterviewAI ₹198 (2 × Basic), about 1% less.

3. 1 hour: AssistBee ₹398 (2 × Quick Pass); CrackInterviewAI ₹198 (2 × Basic), about 50% less.

4. 2 hours: AssistBee ₹499 (1 × Interview Pass); CrackInterviewAI ₹299 (1 × Standard), about 40% less.

5. 3 hours: AssistBee ₹796 (4 × Quick Pass); CrackInterviewAI ₹299 (1 × Standard), about 62% less.

6. 10 hours: AssistBee ₹1,099 (Pro for one month); CrackInterviewAI ₹799 (1 × 10-Hour Pack), about 27% less.

At base prices CrackInterviewAI costs less than AssistBee's cheapest paid option for every total from 1 minute to 10 hours.

One difference matters as much as price: a Quick Pass ends with its single 45-minute session, while unused CrackInterviewAI minutes stay in your balance for the next round.

Two things a price table does not show

1. Time that does not expire. 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. By contrast, AssistBee's Quick Pass is one 45-minute session that then ends, its Interview Pass runs out after 2 hours of use, and Pro renews every month until cancelled (pricing page checked on 19 October 2026).

2. Shortcut-first, so no cursor hunting during screen share. 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.

When AssistBee is the better pick

If you only need a handful of answers a day, its free plan of 10 AI responses costs nothing at all after our 30 free minutes are used. It also has a macOS app; CrackInterviewAI runs on Windows 10 and 11 only.

If you interview every day for weeks, compare a month of AssistBee Pro with our larger packs or Monthly Unlimited on the pricing page.

How to choose

On Windows, with one to a few interviews coming up, the CrackInterviewAI packs cost less for the same time and roll over. Test with the 30 free minutes, then compare every option in the cheapest AI interview assistant guide.

Run the same three checks on any tool before paying: a spoken technical question through your real headset, a coding screenshot and a question about your own project. Use any assistant only where the interview rules allow it.
