Yes, but not as a standalone site. Since July 2024 every new Pramp session runs on Aced Practice. Aced is the new name of Exponent, the company that owns Pramp, and tryexponent.com now redirects to aced.io. Peer mock interviews are still free to start, with a monthly allowance of credits.
Pramp Current Status in 2026
Pramp built its name on a simple trade: you interview a stranger, the stranger interviews you, and nobody pays. Exponent acquired Pramp, and in July 2024 session hosting moved off pramp.com. Exponent has since renamed itself Aced. Aced’s own page says it plainly: “Pramp is now Aced (formerly Exponent).”
The pramp.com website still loads and is now labelled “by Aced”. It says “all new Pramp sessions are hosted on Aced Practice”, and its buttons take you to aced.io/practice. Old links to tryexponent.com redirect there too. To book a session you need an Aced account.
Practice is still free to start. Free users get a set of credits each month, and paid members get unlimited access. Feedback and transcripts need a paid membership. Aced doesn’t publish how many free credits you get, so check your account before planning a schedule around them.
Status last checked on pramp.com and aced.io: October 19, 2026.
What You Should Do Now
Go to Aced Practice, not pramp.com
New peer sessions are booked on aced.io/practice. Bookmarks to pramp.com or tryexponent.com end up there.
Create an Aced account
You need an Aced account to schedule the same kinds of mock interviews Pramp offered.
Check your free credits
Free users get credits every month. Check how many you have before planning around them. Unlimited practice, feedback and transcripts are on the paid membership.
Decide whether the peer format still fits
Peer swaps mean scheduling a stranger and interviewing them back. If your prep window is short or your hours are odd, that matters more than the name change.
Pick the right alternative for your need
Peer practice: Aced Practice. Practice on demand with scored feedback: an AI interviewer. Sessions with an expert: a coaching marketplace. The links below cover each path.

Should You Keep Using Peer Practice?
Peer practice has real strengths: another human on the line, nothing to pay to start, and the underrated exercise of sitting on the interviewer’s side of the table. If your main gap is nerves about talking to a stranger, a peer swap still helps. We compare the trade-offs in our peer interview practice guide.
The caveat is that quality depends on who you are matched with. Before relying on it for a specific interview, check three things: whether your partner understands your interview type, whether you can practise the questions your target company actually asks, and whether the feedback is specific enough to change your next attempt. Half of every session is also spent interviewing someone else. That is useful if you want the perspective, and costly if you are short on time.

What to Check Before Relying on Pramp in 2026
The name on the site
Pramp sessions now run on Aced, and Aced is the former Exponent. A guide that sends you to tryexponent.com or a standalone pramp.com is out of date.
Your monthly credits
Free users get credits every month, not unlimited swaps. Unlimited practice is part of the paid membership.
Match pool depth for your track
Peer matching works best for popular tracks like general coding rounds. Niche roles, specific companies or off-peak time zones can mean longer waits or mismatched partners.
Whether you need written feedback
Feedback and transcripts sit behind Aced’s paid membership. If you need structured scoring for free, plan for a second tool alongside the swaps.
Where You Can Practice Now
Match the tool to the need. For the peer format, use it where it lives now: Aced Practice, or community mock swaps. For sessions with an expert, coaching marketplaces sell time with experienced interviewers. And if what you wanted from Pramp was realistic practice on your own schedule, without matching with a stranger, that is what AI interviewers are for.
MockIF builds a mock interview from your resume and the job description you are targeting, in voice or avatar mode, covering behavioral, technical and full interview loops. The AI interviewer applies real pressure with follow-ups and interruptions, and you get scored feedback after every answer. Free credits on signup; after that, pick a monthly or 3-monthly plan or a one-off credit pack (see pricing).
