GothamLoop vs PracHub (2026): Which Is Better for Your Next Loop?

GothamLoop sells a ranked list of what leaked at each company; PracHub sells the answers. If your loop is at Google, Meta, Amazon or another large tech company, start with PracHub: as of October 2026 it has more than 600 Google questions alone, more than 400 of them free, with in-depth written solutions on many. Pay for GothamLoop only when your target is a smaller company PracHub covers thinly, and know that, as of October 13, 2026, it charges $199 a month or $329 one time, with all sales final.

TL;DR

• Choose GothamLoop when your loop is at a mid-size or quant company where PracHub has few questions (Anduril, Jump Trading), you want a per-company list ranked by report count, and you can accept a purchase with no refund.
• Choose PracHub when your loop is at a large tech or AI company, you want worked written solutions rather than a list, or you want to start without paying. It is free to start with an optional paid tier.
• Use both when PracHub covers your company but thinly: work through its free questions first, then decide whether a recency list is worth $199 for the final weeks.

At a Glance

Coverage and Freshness

GothamLoop's core promise is recency: a shortlist "updated weekly", with questions removed once they stop being asked. Its own pages do not hold that up. When checked on October 13, 2026, 149 of the 168 companies on its companies page showed "Last Updated" dates of August 12 to 18, 2026, about eight weeks old, and Adobe showed March 16, 2026. Only the 18 headline companies in its navigation carried late-September or early-October dates. The Google page promises "84 verified questions from the last 14 days", while the companies list dates Google to September 23 and the demo shows 87 Google questions. The homepage's "Last Week's Leaked" showcase lists questions last asked in January 2026 and December 2025. Its company count changes by page: 160+, 168, 173.

Fresh is also not the same as a match. A Google engineer on Blind who used GothamLoop across six loops reports matches averaged 30 to 35 percent, and an Amazon candidate who bought it for a Rippling loop said the questions were "not close" to what was asked.

PracHub is broader at the largest employers. As of October 2026 it has more than 1,200 Meta questions, more than 850 Amazon, more than 600 Google, more than 350 OpenAI and more than 240 Anthropic, out of more than 12,000 across more than 550 companies. It is thinner on GothamLoop's long tail. We checked 40 of GothamLoop's companies against PracHub on October 13, 2026: 37 had questions, three (Benchling, Block, Braze) had none, and Anduril had nine, none free. For a company like that, GothamLoop's list is the stronger bet. The full set PracHub covers is on its companies page.

Solutions Depth

GothamLoop's demo banner advertises a "hint, and walkthrough" for each question, and its Google page tags each question with round, duration, format and a report count ("Reported 14 times"). Its public site does not say whether answers include runnable code or what "verified" means for a question. Its Terms add that the site is "offered for informational purposes only" and that the company does not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of its information.

PracHub's product is the answer. As of October 2026, more than 7,000 of its questions have an in-depth written solution, and the prompts quoted on this page spell out constraints, assumptions and clarifying questions the way the round ran. One caveat: most questions are free, but many written solutions sit in the paid tier. More than 1,100 questions have both the question and the solution free. That matters for a leaked list, too: a Google engineer in one Blind thread says Google changes a question once it learns the question has leaked, and advises studying the patterns. A written solution teaches the pattern; a list only names the prompt. Browse the system design category to see the format.

Free Access

GothamLoop advertises no free account tier. It offers an email form promising "the most recently asked question and answer at EVERY company for free" and a demo that lists every company with its question count. How much of the demo is readable without paying could not be confirmed, because its company pages load questions in the browser. A HubSpot commenter on Blind says there is no free tier to judge the bank before paying.

PracHub is free to start. Most questions are free: more than 8,000 of more than 12,000 as of October 2026. At Google that is more than 400 free questions, at Amazon more than 600, at Anthropic more than 130. You can test whether the coverage fits your loop before spending anything.

Price and Refunds

As of October 13, 2026, GothamLoop's homepage lists $199 a month for Monthly Access or $329 one time for Lifetime Access. The $329 sits under an "$800, Today Only" countdown that rendered identically, down to the same 3h:45m:23s, on every page we fetched, and its Buy link is a Stripe link with a prefilled promo code. That is a standing price presented as a flash sale. One ex-UKG commenter on Blind says the "today only" promo has been running for a year. Our GothamLoop review goes through what each plan includes.

Its Terms make every sale final, with no refund when you cancel. They also point to an "Automatic Renewal section below" that does not exist, so how the monthly plan renews and cancels is not spelled out. Access can be ended "at any time, for any reason", disputes go to binding individual arbitration, and sharing a login means termination and a permanent ban. A separate "Piracy Bounty Program" page offers $1,000 for reporting users and threatens prosecution.

PracHub is free to start with an optional paid tier, with current details on its pricing page. Because most questions are free, you find out whether it covers your loop before you pay, which is the step GothamLoop's model skips.

Who It Fits

GothamLoop fits a SWE candidate with a booked loop at one of its smaller companies who cannot read the Chinese-language 1Point3Acres posts it says it decodes. Its company pages also bundle a five-stage process walkthrough and a levels-and-pay table (for Google, L3 around $211K up to L7 around $950K as shown on October 13, 2026).

PracHub fits candidates across roles. As of October 2026 it has more than 4,000 coding questions, more than 1,500 system design, more than 1,500 behavioral, more than 800 machine learning and more than 700 SQL and data manipulation questions. GothamLoop's copy says SWE throughout, so for data science, PM or ML loops PracHub is the safer start.

When GothamLoop Is the Better Choice

• Your loop is at a company PracHub covers thinly or not at all: Anduril (nine PracHub questions as of October 2026, none free), Jump Trading (14), Palantir (15), Benchling, Block or Braze. Several Blind buyers say GothamLoop is stronger for smaller companies than for FAANG.
• You want a recency-ranked list with round, format and report-count metadata to decide what to drill first.
• You cannot read Chinese, have no 1Point3Acres membership, and want what leaks there ranked in English. If you already have that membership, a Reddit commenter says it is not worth buying.
• You want process and levels-and-pay context next to the questions.
• You expect many loops over several years and can accept $329 up front with no refund.

When PracHub Is the Better Choice

• Your loop is at a large tech or AI company such as Google, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI or Anthropic, where it has hundreds of questions per company and most are free.
• You need to solve new problems, not recognize old ones. With a reported 30 to 35 percent match rate, most of your loop will be new to you even with a list.
• You want to keep spend at zero until you know the coverage fits, or you will not pay for something you cannot refund.
• Your target is a quant firm PracHub covers well: Jane Street has more than 50 questions, more than 40 of them free.

Using Both

1. Open your target company's PracHub hub and see how many questions it has for your role.
2. Work the free questions for the rounds you will face, starting with system design and behavioral, where a written solution teaches the most.
3. If the hub has only a handful of questions, or none, check that company's question count on GothamLoop's demo and its "Last Updated" date on GothamLoop's companies page before paying.
4. If you buy, buy one month, late, in the last two or three weeks before the loop. There are no refunds, so treat the list as a recency check, not a curriculum.
5. Keep studying patterns. A list that matches a third of your loop leaves two thirds to solve cold.

Practice these on PracHub

The quickest way to know whether GothamLoop is worth paying for is to try real questions first. These PracHub questions are free to read, sit in the areas it covers, and each has a written solution:

• Coding (Lexicographically Largest Permutation After Sorting One Fixed-Length Window · Maximize total catch over K hours from ponds whose yield drops after each hour · Merge Overlapping Collinear Lane Segments Given as Integer Point Lists); more in the coding questions.
• System design (Design a Real-Time Trivia Battle Royale Platform with Live Spectating · Idempotent Kafka Consumer: Duplicate Writes, Offset Commits and a Second Database); more in the system design questions.
• Behavioral (End-to-End ML Project Deep Dive: Decisions, Evaluation Design and Career Goals); more in the behavioral questions.

Keep going from the software engineer questions, the full question bank or the company hubs.

For most candidates, yes. As of October 2026 PracHub has more than 12,000 real interview questions with in-depth written solutions, and most questions are free, so you can check coverage before paying. GothamLoop is the better buy only for smaller or quant companies PracHub covers thinly, at $199 a month or $329 one time with no refunds (as of October 13, 2026).

Is PracHub free?

PracHub is free to start with an optional paid tier. Most questions are free: more than 8,000 of more than 12,000 as of October 2026. Many written solutions sit in the paid tier, and the pricing page has current details.

Does GothamLoop have solutions?

Its demo advertises hints and walkthroughs for each question. Its public pages do not say whether answers include runnable code, and its Terms say the company does not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of its information.

Can I use GothamLoop and PracHub together?

Yes. Start with PracHub's free questions for your target company, and buy one month of GothamLoop only if that company is thinly covered and your loop is close. Because GothamLoop's sales are final, buy it last, not first.

Is PracHub legit and worth it?

Legit, and you can check that yourself: it is a bank of real, recently asked interview questions with in-depth written solutions, covering more than 550 companies as of October 2026, and more than 8,000 questions are free to read. Whether it is worth paying for depends on your company: open its hub, count the questions for your role, and pay only if the free ones show the coverage fits.

Which is better for a Google or Meta loop?

PracHub. As of October 2026 it has more than 600 Google questions, more than 400 of them free, and more than 1,200 Meta questions. Buyers on Blind say GothamLoop is stronger for smaller companies than for FAANG, and a Google engineer there reported 30 to 35 percent question matches across six loops.

Final Verdict

GothamLoop sells a bet that a ranked list will match your loop. Its own companies page shows most lists last updated in August. Its terms keep your money whatever happens. For a niche company with no other source, that can still be worth $199.

For everyone else, a leaked list is not worth more than a bank with written solutions you can start on free. Work your company's questions, learn the patterns, then decide whether you need a list at all. Start at prachub.com/questions.
