Why is UltraCode AI's $899 lifetime model risky?

Because there's no monthly subscription, you commit $899 upfront before validating the tool against your specific interview style and platforms. If UltraCode doesn't suit your workflow, you've already spent $899. PhantomCodeAI's $19 credit pack lets you test for one interview cycle before committing further.

How much cheaper is PhantomCodeAI lifetime than UltraCode?

PhantomCodeAI lifetime is $399 versus UltraCode's $899 — substantially cheaper for permanent access to the same category of tool, with PhantomCodeAI's additional capabilities (Deep Think, Fast Think modes, profile-aware responses, custom prompts).

Is UltraCode AI more feature-complete than PhantomCodeAI because it's more expensive?

No — pricing doesn't track features here. PhantomCodeAI adds Deep Think (slow, thorough reasoning for hard problems) and Fast Think (low-latency answers for time-pressured rounds), profile-aware response calibration, a custom prompt manager, and audio transcription for live calls. UltraCode ships a single response mode without these.

Are both tools undetectable on Zoom and screen-share?

Yes — both run as desktop overlays excluded from screen capture at the OS level. The undetectability mechanism (NSWindowSharingNone on macOS, WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE on Windows) is the same. The differentiation isn't undetectability — it's pricing flexibility, AI mode control, and additional features.
