Quick verdict
Interview Coder is a desktop app built around coding interviews, with a strong emphasis on staying hidden, priced as a monthly plan with credits or a one-time lifetime licence. Sokrates covers coding, system design, behavioral and meeting conversations with fixed answer shapes, at a fraction of the monthly price, and excludes the overlay from screen capture on every plan.
