Interviewing.io's human-engineer mock interviews are excellent — and at $100–$225/session, they should be. But you can't do them daily. Talentee gives you the reps; Interviewing.io gives you the dress rehearsal. Most strong candidates use Talentee 5–10× then book 1–2 Interviewing.io sessions in the final week before the real thing.
You're in the final week before a FAANG interview, you have budget for 1-3 high-value sessions, and you specifically want the human FAANG-engineer perspective.
You want 20+ rehearsal sessions for the cost of one Interviewing.io session, you need on-demand practice anytime, or you're preparing for non-engineering interviews (PM, MBB, BigLaw, etc.).
Talentee for the daily reps (cheap, on-demand), Interviewing.io for the final dress rehearsal with a real engineer. They're complementary.
Their primary pool is engineering. For PM, consulting, BigLaw, the coverage thins quickly. Talentee has dedicated pre-sets for those.
Honest answer: for the broad-strokes feedback (structure, clarity, confidence), yes. For the specific technical depth a senior FAANG engineer brings, no. Use both at different stages.
