Pramp alternatives: where Pramp went, and what else to use
Pramp still has a page, but it says that since July 2024 all new Pramp sessions are hosted on Aced Practice, and that it is still free. If you liked Pramp for free practice with real people, Aced Practice is its direct successor. If you want a full spoken round without a partner, with an interviewer who follows up and a written report, Mockich runs the round with an AI interviewer.
What Pramp is, as of November 2026
Pramp’s own page states that as of July 2024 all new sessions are hosted on Aced Practice and are still free, and its links lead to Aced. It lists data structures and algorithms, product management, behavioral, system design, frontend and data science interviews, practised live with peers.
Aced Practice schedules peer sessions over video chat with AI feedback. Aced’s free Basic plan includes 5 peer mocks a month; paid plans include unlimited peer mocks.

Where Pramp is stronger
- A real person on the other side, with all the unpredictability of a human conversation.
- You also play interviewer, which teaches you what interviewers notice.
- Free peer practice in product management and frontend, which Mockich does not cover.
Where Mockich is different
- No partner to match or wait for: a round starts when you do.
- The interviewer follows a defined round for your role and level, with the same structure and rubric each time and a real clock.
- A written report that scores each skill and quotes what you said, instead of a peer’s notes.
Which one to choose
Choose Pramp if
- You want free practice with real people and are happy to schedule it.
- You want to practise interviewing others as well as being interviewed.
Choose Mockich if
- You want to practise at odd hours or several times a day.
- You want feedback scored against the bar for your level, with quotes, for software, data science, ML or quant roles.
Peers and an AI interviewer catch different things. A peer reacts like a person; a report with quotes shows exactly where your answer lost its shape.
