Promptly vs LockedIn AI.
LockedIn AI and Promptly both capture your computer's audio and suggest answers live, with no bot in the call [1]. LockedIn wraps that in a wide career toolkit and a long price list [2]; Promptly is two plans — $20 and $40 a month — with screen-share invisibility in both, and in Free.
LockedIn AI details checked against LockedIn AI's own site on October 6, 2026. Sources are listed at the end.
The short version
Choose Promptly if…
- You want stealth without picking the right tier — LockedIn's docs say Stealth Mode is on every paid plan except General [10]; every Promptly plan hides from capture.
- You want a simpler, cheaper plan: $20 or $40 a month, cancel in one click.
- You want a voice-synced teleprompter and dictation into any app too.
Choose LockedIn AI if…
- You want web and mobile apps — LockedIn lists a browser app, iOS and Android [3][4]; Promptly is desktop-only (Windows and Mac).
- You want mock interviews with scored reports [1], or a human helper in the session via LockedIn Duo [1].
- You want a free résumé builder, cover-letter generator and job tracker alongside the copilot [1].

Your audio
LockedIn's privacy policy says session audio is transcribed in real time by third-party speech-to-text providers and content is shared with LLM, text-to-speech and vector-search providers [9]; its copilot page says recordings aren't stored [7]. Promptly also uses model providers to transcribe and answer, and keeps no audio, transcripts, questions or answers.
