Seal the Offer and Final Round AI side by side
The two tools work at different times. Seal the Offer works before the interview. Final Round AI offers practice, and help during it, as its home page explains.

Where Final Round AI is better
- Practice out loud with an AI interviewer. It lists 8 kinds of practice, from coding to salary talks. Seal the Offer has no AI voice practice.
- A debrief after each session. It writes one when a session ends, and the next session builds on it.
- Technical rounds. It covers coding, system design and case questions, with full written coding solutions.
- Help during the interview itself. It suggests a short answer seconds after each question. Seal the Offer doesn't do this.
- A free plan to set up each job and its prep checklist.
- A set refund window. Its refund policy offers money back within 3 days, with conditions. Seal the Offer looks at each request case by case.
Where Seal the Offer is different
- Before the interview, never during it. It never helps in a live interview, test or recording. See what we never do.
- The job ad comes first. It lists what to send, file types, page and word limits, the closing date and any rule about AI. Each rule it finds quotes the ad, and our code checks the quote is there.
- It writes the application the ad asks for. You get a resume made for the ad, and the cover letter, statement or selection criteria it asks for. Our code counts the words and measures the pages. Files come in Word and PDF.
- Answers are built on your own stories. A kit has 15 answer cards, or 8 to 18 by type of interview. The answers draw on 8 stories from your resume. Where your resume has none for a common question, the answer is an example, labelled as made up.
- It predicts the likely questions. Each card shows our estimate of the chance it's asked.
- It researches the employer, such as its mission, projects and recent news, with links. You also get a one-page cheat sheet, and the kit as a PDF.
- The next interview builds on the last. Note what they asked, and the next kit for that job uses it. A job's price covers up to 3 interviews.
- You pay once. Documents for one job are US$12, and an Interview Kit is US$39. Five kits to use within 90 days are US$169. Prices include tax, and nothing renews. In Australia they're A$18, A$55 and A$239.
