MockWin.ai Credits: The Complete Guide

Part A

FREE CREDITS

A credit is MockWin's universal currency. Spend one credit, run one complete interview session from the first question to the final feedback report. There are no hidden fees, no mid-session paywalls, and no features locked away after you start. One credit unlocks everything.

Think of it this way: a credit is not an expense. It is an investment in your readiness. Every session you run closes the gap between where you are and where you need to be on interview day.

MockWin has three distinct pathways to earn free credits - no credit card, no catch.

Way 1 - Claim Your 2 Free Credits on Sign-Up

The moment you create a MockWin account, 2 free credits are added to your balance instantly. You do not need a promo code or a payment method. They are simply there, waiting for you to use them.

These two credits are your invitation to experience the full platform - the live adaptive AI, the real-time feedback, the performance analytics before you ever make a spending decision.

Way 2 - Earn Credits Through Challenge Mode

Once you have completed a session, MockWin generates a unique Challenge Mode link tied to your exact interview. Share it with a friend or colleague and every time someone signs up through your link and completes the same session, you earn credit rewards.

Here is the step-by-step flow:

1. Complete a session and get your readiness score.
   Your performance is benchmarked against the role, job description, and AI persona you used.
2. Your unique challenge link is generated automatically.
   The link locks in the same job description, same AI persona, and same question set you faced.
3. Share it with a taunt - "I scored 85%. Can you beat me?"
   The social pressure of the score creates a natural reason for friends to click, sign up, and try.
4. Your friend signs up and gets their own 2 free credits.
   They take the same interview and are benchmarked against your score.
5. You earn credit rewards - and the chain keeps growing.
   Track every challenger's score on your personal Challenge Tree dashboard as the loop expands.

Way 3 - The Corporate Free Credit Trigger

If a company recruiter invites you to a MockWin assessment as part of their hiring process, completing that corporate session activates the Free Credit Trigger a mechanism that adds 1 free credit to your personal account automatically.

What the Corporate Trigger Looks Like
After you finish the corporate session, MockWin shows you: "Good luck! Here is 1 Free Credit to practise for your next interview on MockWin." - The credit lands in your balance immediately.

Every credit - free or paid - covers one complete session with no feature restrictions. Here is the full picture of what activates the moment you begin a session:

• Adaptive AI Mock Interviewer: The AI listens to each answer and generates its next question directly from what you just said - not from a script. It mimics a real interviewer who has read your CV and knows your past projects.
• Resume-Based & Role-Specific Questions: Upload your CV and paste in a job description. The session generates questions hyper-targeted to your experience and the exact role not generic question banks.
• Non-Verbal & Speech Analytics: Computer vision tracks eye contact, facial sentiment (confidence vs. anxiety), and posture. Speech analytics measures words-per-minute, filler words (um, like), and tone throughout the session.
• Full Post-Session Feedback Report: After the session: overall readiness score, STAR framework detection, gap analysis vs. the job description, a confidence meter charted over time, pivot suggestions, and missed-opportunity flags.
• Retry & Mastery Logic: In Dojo mode, if you score below 90% the AI asks a variation of the same question until you hit mastery threshold. Your credit covers the full loop however many attempts it takes.

Every credit gives you full access to one of four distinct practice modes. Choosing the right mode for your current stage is what separates candidates who improve quickly from those who repeat the same mistakes.

Full Simulator - Real-Match Mode
This is the hardest mode. The AI adopts a Bar Raiser persona strict timer, zero hints, no pauses. If you ramble beyond 45 seconds or use imprecise terminology, it interrupts and penalises your score. It is deliberately harder than a real interview so that when the real one arrives, it feels manageable.
Best for: Candidates who have done foundational practice and need a true performance benchmark.

Co-Pilot - Guided Practice Mode
The AI displays three structural bullet points on screen to guide your answer in real time. Miss the "Result" element in a STAR-method answer? The system flags it and offers an immediate retry. This mode builds framework not just familiarity.
Best for: First-time users, learning to structure behavioural answers, or practising the STAR method.

The Dojo - Question Drills
Choose a skill category - System Design, Conflict Resolution, Leadership - and the AI grades your answer. Score below 90% and it asks a variation of the same question until you hit mastery. This is deliberate practice at its most efficient.
Best for: Eliminating a specific weak area before an interview, or drilling a competency to a demonstrable standard.

Challenge Mode - Peer-to-Peer Battle
Complete a session, generate a shareable link, and challenge a peer. Their score is benchmarked directly against yours. Beyond the social motivation, every peer who completes your challenge earns you credit rewards making this the only mode where one credit can pay itself back.
Best for: Motivated candidates who want external accountability and the chance to earn back credits through engagement.

WHAT YOU GET DURING SESSION	WHAT YOU GET AFTER SESSION
Adaptive AI follow-up questions	Full readiness score (0-100%)
Real-time speech analytics (WPM, filler words)	STAR framework detection
Eye contact & sentiment tracking	Gap analysis vs. job description
On-screen cues in Co-Pilot mode	Confidence meter graph
Resume + JD targeting	Pivot & missed-opportunity flags

Running through your 2 free credits is a good sign - it means you started. Here is the exact sequence to keep your balance full without immediately spending money:

1. Activate the Challenge Mode Loop: Share your scored session with at least one friend. When they sign up and complete the challenge, you earn credit rewards. If you share with 3-4 people, your balance may replenish entirely for free.
2. Look for Corporate Assessment Invitations: If a recruiter sends you a MockWin assessment link for a job application, completing it earns you 1 free credit trigger automatically.
3. Upgrade to a Paid Plan When You Are Ready: If you have interviews coming up in the next 2-4 weeks, upgrading to Starter (5 credits) or Pro (20 credits) gives you structured runway to practise daily without watching your balance.
