What PMInterviewKit doesn’t have: peer mock interviews, coaching, a community, job referrals or a course per company. If live practice with another person is what you need most, pick an option that has it, or find a practice partner and use our free questions.
A large bank of PM interview questions with answers, plus a course and mock interviews.
Two books are also worth knowing, Cracking the PM Interview and Decode and Conquer. See what Cracking the PM Interview covers in 2026.
No account needed for any of these.
It depends on how long you prepare. On 12 November 2026, Aced Pro was $79 for a single month or $12 a month on the annual plan; Product Alliance was $529 per course; PMInterviewKit was $129 once. All three have free material to try first, except that we did not find a free plan on Product Alliance’s pricing page.
Aced lists peer mock interviews on every plan, with coaching sold separately. We did not see mock interviews in Product Alliance’s course contents. PMInterviewKit has mock interviews with Ava, where you answer out loud or type and the answer is scored against the round’s method. It has no live peer mocks.
Product Alliance sells dedicated courses for Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Uber and TikTok. Aced lists company guides. PMInterviewKit has one module on how interview loops differ by company and how to research one, not a course per company.
