The short version
Star Interview helps you prepare stories: it drafts STAR answers from your resume and a target company, then lets you rehearse them in audio interviews. Relaunch does not draft your answers. It asks the questions your resume and the job will raise, you answer in your own words, and the interviewer follows up on what you said.
| Star Interview | Relaunch | |
|---|---|---|
| Your answers | Drafts STAR answers from your resume and target company. Its terms ask you to treat them as drafts and check them against your own experience | Never writes your answer. You answer in your own words, and your next attempt starts from what you wrote |
| Practice | Audio-only AI interviews and five-minute drills, with a report afterwards | Typed or spoken answers, a follow-up question on each (read aloud if you like), and feedback on what worked and what to fix |
| The company | Podcast-style episodes on how specific companies interview, for a library of companies | A one-page brief on any company you name, every line linked to where it came from |
| Your resume | A Resume Studio to tailor your resume; its public pages do not describe how it works | Resume Review, and a verdict on whether you fit a specific job, with changes written only from what you said |
| Who it is built for | Pitched at tech roles (software, product and operations), with other interview types listed on its pricing page | Anyone looking for work, from a first job to a senior role |
| Price | Its home page and its pricing page show different information, so we have not quoted a price. Its terms say purchases are non-refundable | Free account to start. Then $29.99 for 90 days, paid once and never renewed, or $9.99 a month (CAD in Canada, USD in the US). 7-day refund |
Star Interview details are from its own pages (starinterview.io, pricing, Story Bank, terms of service), read on October 23, 2026. This is starinterview.io, not the similarly named starinterview.ai. Relaunch prices are in Canadian dollars in Canada and US dollars in the US.
A drafted answer, or your own
A drafted answer is a fast start, and Star Interview is clear that you should check it against your own experience before you use it. The catch is that the interview will test the details, and a story you did not build is harder to defend under a follow-up.
Relaunch keeps the words yours from the first attempt. Feedback names what is missing, such as the result or your part in it, and you add it in your own words.
Knowing the company
Star Interview offers episodes about how a set of large companies interview. Relaunch writes a short brief for any company you name, from its own public record, with a link on every line so you can check it before you mention it. Your practice interviewer reads the brief too.
Which one to use
If you are interviewing at one of the large tech companies it covers and want drafted stories to rehearse, Star Interview is built for that. If you want practice for any job, in your own words, with a follow-up on every answer and help with the resume before it, that is what Relaunch is for.
