Does Pwagu record my interviews?
No. Audio is turned into text for the moment and is not saved, and screenshots are not stored. See the privacy policy for the details.
I only have one interview. Which plan should I pick?
Start on the free plan to try it. If you need more answers, one week of Personal covers the interview and the practice before it.
