Voxxhire vs interviewing.io
Start with what your interview actually is, because these two barely overlap. interviewing.io works like an audition with a real casting director, for one specific part: the live technical coding round, anonymous, against engineers who run those rounds for a living. Voxxhire runs the rehearsal room for everything else on the callback list, the behavioural rounds, the tell-me-about-a-time, the competency panel. If your interview is a whiteboard, book the audition. If it’s a panel asking how you handled a difficult colleague, come this way.
About interviewing.io
interviewing.io lets software engineers practise technical interviews anonymously with real engineers, many of them from top technology companies, and gives performance-based feedback afterwards. Candidates targeting senior engineering roles at FAANG-tier companies use it heavily, and for good reason: nothing simulates a live coding round quite like a live coding round with somebody who runs them for real.
About Voxxhire
Built for the rest of the process, and the rest of us: behavioural, competency-based, and non-technical interviews. Questions come from your CV and the role you’re chasing, you answer out loud, and you get feedback on the answer, the STAR structure, and the delivery. There’s also a check on whether your CV gets past the robot, whether you’re even right for the job, and a first draft of the cover letter.

Who Voxxhire may suit
Pick Voxxhire if you’re not writing code in the interview: non-technical roles, or any professional facing behavioural and competency questions instead of coding challenges. It fits UK graduate schemes, public sector, healthcare, and finance, where a structured STAR answer and a convincing case for job-fit are what actually decide it.
Who interviewing.io may suit
Pick interviewing.io if you’re a software engineer aiming at senior technical roles and you need live coding practice with real engineers who can tell you exactly where your solution fell apart. Voxxhire doesn’t do that, and AI feedback is no substitute for an engineer who has sat on the hiring side.
Frequently asked questions
Is interviewing.io free?
There’s a limited free tier with some practice sessions, though mock interviews with experienced engineers generally require payment or enough activity on the platform to unlock. Voxxhire has a free tier with included practice credits, voice mock interviews, and AI feedback. No card is needed to start the free plan, and it’s never charged.
What is the main difference between Voxxhire and interviewing.io?
Who it’s for. interviewing.io is built for software engineers practising live coding interviews with real engineers. Voxxhire covers a much wider set of candidates and focuses on behavioural, competency-based, and non-technical interviews with AI feedback. If you’re not writing code on the day, interviewing.io wasn’t designed for you. If you are, it was designed for exactly that.
Which is better for behavioural interview preparation?
Voxxhire leans harder into it. Questions are generated from your CV and the job description, STAR structure is scored, and the feedback on your answers is structured rather than freeform. interviewing.io does offer some behavioural practice, but its real strength is technical coding rather than competency-based questioning.
Can I use Voxxhire if I am a software engineer?
Yes. Engineers still get the behavioural and leadership rounds, and that’s where Voxxhire helps. For the coding component, interviewing.io or a similar technical platform is the better fit. Plenty of engineers use both: one for the whiteboard, one for the tell-me-about-a-time rounds nobody prepares for and everybody gets scored on.
