Soreno is worth it if you have case, finance, product or behavioral interviews coming up and you want a lot of spoken practice, at any hour, with written feedback after every session. It is not worth it if you have one interview in two days and need a former consultant to pressure-test you, or if you already practice daily with a strong peer group for free. The 7-day free trial is long enough to find out which group you are in.

We are the Soreno team, so we are not neutral. This page is our honest attempt to help you decide before you pay, including the cases where we think you should spend your money or time somewhere else. Prices and trial terms below are the ones on our pricing page as of October 2026.

The short answer

Soreno is likely worth it if:

You are preparing for consulting cases, investment banking or other finance interviews, product interviews or behavioral rounds, or a mix of them.
You want many repetitions, not one or two sessions, and you want to practice at 11pm or on a Sunday without booking anyone.
You want feedback you can act on: what you said, what was missing, and what to drill next.
You want to hear how you come across, including filler words and eye contact on recorded sessions.

Soreno is probably not worth it if:

Your interview is in two days and you need a human former consultant to stress-test your judgment and delivery. Book a coach for that.
You already have a free case partner or club that practices with you every day and gives you good feedback. Keep doing that.
You only want cheap math and structuring drills for consulting. There are lower-cost drill tools, listed on our comparison page.

What you actually get

Every plan includes the same practice content:

A voice AI interviewer. You speak your answers out loud and the interviewer asks follow-up questions, as a real interviewer would. It is MBB-trained AI, and you can choose McKinsey, BCG or Bain styles, plus a strict or a coaching style.
500+ practice questions, including 80+ full case studies, across consulting, investment banking and other finance, and behavioral. You can also add your own questions.
Drills for case math, market sizing, structuring and chart reading.
Scored feedback after each session that quotes your own answer and gives you a next-step plan.
Filler-word and eye-contact analysis on recorded sessions, so you can see delivery habits you cannot hear while you are talking.

What it costs: $199 a month or $349 a year (about $29 a month), in USD. A weekly plan starts from $64 a week, and checkout shows the exact amount before you start. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial that includes two full mock interviews and three skill drills. Checkout asks for a payment method, you are not charged during the trial, and you can cancel in your account settings before it ends. After the trial, mocks and drills are unlimited on every plan.

The cost math against your other options

The fair comparison is not Soreno against nothing. It is Soreno against the other ways you could spend the same weeks. These prices are the ones we list, with sources, on our comparison page.

Option	Listed price	Best for
Paid coach	About $200 an hour (RocketBlocks listing)	A few high-stakes sessions
Peer practice	Free to $69 a year (PrepLounge)	Live practice with a person
Soreno	$199 a month, $349 a year, or weekly from $64	Many spoken reps on your schedule

A few things follow from those numbers:

One month of Soreno costs about the same as one hour with a coach at the listed rate. If you will do ten or more mocks in that month, the AI is far cheaper per session. If you will only ever do one or two, the coach may be the better use of the money.
A year of Soreno costs less than two coaching hours at that rate. It makes sense if you are recruiting for several rounds or roles.
Peer practice is the cheapest live option and you should use it either way. Its limit is that you depend on other people's schedules, and feedback quality varies from partner to partner.

There are also good free options, and we built some of them:

The free sample case: a real prompt, a timer and a structure check, with no sign-up.
The market sizing practice tool and the case math drills, both free and in your browser.
Firm practice pages with a free sample case in the style of McKinsey, BCG, Bain and other firms.

If those free tools plus a case partner already give you enough practice, you may not need to pay for anything.

How to decide in the 7-day trial

The trial includes two full mock interviews and three drills. Use them as an experiment, not as a test drive of buttons. Here is a plan we would follow ourselves.

Day 1: run a baseline mock. Do a full mock interview in the format you will actually face, for example an interviewer-led case if you are applying to McKinsey, or a behavioral round if that is your next step. Do not prepare. Read the whole feedback report afterwards and write down the two or three points it makes about you.

Day 2: drill your weakest point. Use your first drill on whatever the report flagged most, such as case math or structuring.

Day 3: practice for free. Run 10 questions in the free case math drills or size a market in the market sizing tool. If you can, do one case with a human partner and ask them for honest feedback. Compare what they say with what Soreno said on Day 1.

Days 4 and 5: two more drills. Use them on the next weak spots, for example chart reading and market sizing, or a second round on the Day 2 skill.

Day 6: run a second mock of the same type. Then put the two reports side by side.

Day 7: decide before the trial ends. Keep it or cancel it in your account settings.

Signs you should keep it:

The feedback named specific moments you recognize as true, and your partner or your own notes agreed.
Your second mock fixed something the first report pointed out.
You will realistically practice several times a week before your interviews.

Signs you should cancel:

The feedback felt generic, or it disagreed with what a strong human partner told you.
You did not open the app again after Day 2. A tool you do not use is not worth any price.
Your next round is a final with partners and you need human judgment more than repetitions.

The honest limits

An AI interviewer is useful for repetition, structure and delivery. It is not a former partner, and we do not want you to treat it as one.

It cannot replicate a specific interviewer. Every real interviewer has their own style, mood and pet questions. Soreno can simulate a firm's format, not the person across the table.
It does not replace human judgment on your story. A coach or a mentor who knows the industry can tell you whether your "why this firm" answer will land with a particular office. The AI cannot know that.
It will not feel exactly like the room. Speaking to an AI is closer to the real thing than typing, but a live person reacting to you is still different.

The best setup for most candidates is both: Soreno for volume and feedback between sessions, and human practice, from case partners, a club or a coach, before the rounds that matter most.

How is Soreno different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is good for generating questions and giving written feedback on answers you type. Soreno is built to run the interview itself: a voice interviewer that follows up, the same feedback format every session, and delivery analysis on recorded sessions. We compare the two in detail in can ChatGPT replace mock interviews.

Soreno or a human coach?

If you can afford only a few sessions, a coach is best used for a final round or a specific weakness, and Soreno is best used for the many repetitions in between. At the coaching rate listed on our comparison page, one month of Soreno costs about the same as one coaching hour. Many candidates use both.
