InterviewCodeAssist runs during the live coding round. No program to enroll in — download, sign in, and it's ready before your interview.
$10 covers a single week of interviews. A short loop doesn't need a monthly or multi-month commitment.
Formation teaches you to pass interviews over months. InterviewCodeAssist is the desktop tool you use on interview day. They're not the same thing.
The free plan runs every feature with blurred output so you can verify the UI and confirm it behaves correctly on your setup before subscribing.

No — they're different tools. Formation is a multi-month mentored prep program ($2,500/month or income-share). InterviewCodeAssist is a desktop AI assistant that runs on interview day. Many candidates use both.
$10 for a week, $30 for a month, or $180 for a year ($15/month billed annually). A free plan lets you run every feature with blurred output to verify the app works on your machine.
No. The app is designed to run during the coding round itself — screenshot the problem, get a solution with time/space complexity analysis. Prior prep helps you judge and adapt the output, but isn't required to use the tool.
Content Protection hides the assistant window from screen capture so it doesn't appear in Zoom, Meet, or Teams share. Run our basic checks to verify on your setup.
