ChatGPT is a general conversational companion—it is too polite, cannot lead a structured interview, does not challenge vague answers with follow-ups, and lacks acoustic phoneme diagnostics. Nativard is a purpose-built interview coach: it controls the dialogue, evaluates you against official STAR and IELTS rubrics, and catches subtle sound mistakes like 'think' vs 'tink'.

There are strictly no recurring monthly subscriptions. You only pay once for the practice pack you choose. Your credits stack automatically and never expire. You can practice today, return 3 months later for a final interview, and your remaining sessions will be waiting for you.

Our evaluation engine strictly adheres to the official British Council / IDP IELTS 4-pillar rubrics: Fluency, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range, and Pronunciation. It doesn't just guess a score; it provides phoneme-by-phoneme acoustic accuracy and shows you side-by-side how a native Band 8.5 speaker would rephrase your sentences.

Yes. You can select target roles such as Senior Backend, Frontend, or System Design. The AI interviewer tests behavioral leadership, challenges your architectural trade-offs, and evaluates how clearly you communicate complex technical concepts in English.

Not at all. You can configure the AI's difficulty level before starting. If you ever stumble or miss a question, you can simply click the 'Rephrase simpler' button or say 'Can you repeat?', and the AI will rephrase using clear, everyday vocabulary without breaking character.

Your privacy is absolute. Your voice audio is streamed in real-time over encrypted WebRTC solely for session simulation and phonetic scoring. We do not sell your data or use your voice to train public AI models. You can permanently delete your account and all history with one click in Settings.
