Aced is the new name for Exponent
Exponent announced the new name in August 2026. The site still runs at tryexponent.com and labels itself “Aced, formerly Exponent.” Alongside the name came an AI coach called Ace, a new Expert plan, and new courses. Both names refer to the same company.
Aced, formerly Exponent, and what it offers
Aced covers many roles, and most of its depth sits in product management, engineering, and data. Its product marketing question page describes a list of 41 PMM questions. It also publishes a course called Common PMM Interview Questions, and the lesson page marks the full course as premium.
Peer mocks are a different list. The practice page names product management, data structures and algorithms, system design, behavioral, finance, and a few beta tracks. Product marketing is not one of them.
Prices checked Oct 2026, on the pricing page. Basic is $0 a month, with sample lessons, sample questions, and 5 peer mocks a month. Pro is $12 a month billed annually, or $79 a month. Expert is $20 a month billed annually, or $99 a month, and it adds the full AI coaching suite. Coaching with a person is sold separately.
The AI mock interview page describes audio sessions of 10 to 20 minutes on behavioral and product management questions. Feedback and transcripts need a paid membership. The rename post says the Expert plan includes that mock interviewer.
If you are interviewing for PM and PMM roles at once, one Aced subscription covers the courses and question banks for both.
Where the two products split
| Area | Mokk | Aced |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | PMM interviews only | Many roles, with a PMM question bank |
| Learning material | Free guides on this site | Courses, including a premium PMM course, plus video answers |
| Spoken practice | A live voice interviewer, on demand | Peer mocks on a schedule, plus AI mocks on the Expert plan |
| Follow-ups | One or two per answer, on specifics, metrics and outcomes | Depends on your peer, your coach, or the AI format |
| Scoring | Five PMM competencies, same rubric everywhere | Varies by format and by person |
| How you pay | Credits from $9, no subscription, never expire | Basic is free. Pro is $12 a month billed annually, or $79 a month. Expert is $20 a month billed annually, or $99 a month |
The practical difference shows up in the follow-up. Peer mock types on the practice page do not include product marketing, so a partner matched there is preparing for another loop. Mokk asks one or two follow-up questions per answer that push for specifics, metrics and outcomes. Scoring uses five PMM competencies and the same rubric everywhere. The five are strategic thinking, communication and storytelling, analytical rigor, market expertise, and cross-functional influence. A question costs 1 credit and a full interview costs 3. Packs are $9 for 3, $49 for 24, and $99 for 60.
Picking between them
- Choose Aced if you want structured lessons, video answers, a community of people to practice with, or you are preparing for PM and PMM roles at the same time.
- Choose Mokk if you already know the material and need to practice saying it, with follow-ups and the same PMM rubric, and you don’t want a subscription.
- Use both if you have several weeks. Learn structure on Aced, then use Mokk sessions to find where your answers break under a follow-up.
Your first Mokk mock is free. It is a full interview built from a job posting, capped at 10 minutes, and it does not ask for a card. How a session runs is on the PMM mock interview page. The other write-ups are on the comparison hub, and the table is on the alternatives page.
The public pages behind these figures are the rename post, pricing, PMM questions, the PMM course, peer practice, and AI mock interviews.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Exponent the same company under a new name?
- Yes. Exponent announced the name Aced in August 2026, and the site still runs at tryexponent.com. Older write-ups that say Exponent are describing the same platform.
- Does Aced have a product marketing course?
- Yes. The course library includes Common PMM Interview Questions, and the lesson page marks the full course as premium. The question page describes 41 PMM questions. Peer mock types on the practice page do not include product marketing.
- Can Mokk replace Exponent?
- Not entirely. Mokk gives you spoken PMM practice and scoring, and it has no courses, video library, or peer community. If you need to learn the material from scratch, Aced covers more of that.
- Which is cheaper?
- It depends on how much you practice and for how long. Mokk sells credits with no subscription, so a two-week burst costs one pack. Aced sells monthly and annual plans, which suit longer prep across several roles.
- Where does this information come from?
- Aced’s rename post, pricing page, PMM question page, PMM course, practice page, and AI mock interview page. The rename was announced in August 2026. Plans change, so check the current details before you buy.
