What is Counterspar

Counterspar is a negotiation rehearsal tool. You paste a real job offer, raise request, or client brief, and the AI builds the specific counterpart on the other side. You spar against them in a live eight-exchange round with a pressure meter and named tactics, then receive a graded scorecard and a send-ready counter-offer email and phone script.

How a round works

01

Paste the offer

The email in your inbox, the comp summary, the client brief. Forty seconds, no account.

02

Get the read

Counterspar reverse-engineers the person across the table: their leverage, their script, where the money is hiding.

03

Survive the call

A live sparring round against that counterpart. The pressure meter climbs, and every tactic gets named as it hits you.

04

Walk away with the number

A graded scorecard, the money you left on the table, and a counter-offer email + phone script that already survived contact.

Five versions of the person across the table

Your free round starts at Level 1. Every rematch climbs the ladder, same deal but a harder counterpart, until the worst version of the call has nothing left to surprise you with.

  • L1The ProfessionalCourteous but firm. Concedes ground only to well-reasoned asks.
  • L2The GatekeeperHides behind policy and budget. Nothing is ever their decision.
  • L3The AnchorLowballs hard, flatters harder, and every offer has a countdown.
  • L4The CloserGood cop, bad cop, phantom candidates and strategic silence.
  • L5The SharkEverything above, plus punishes weakness and claws back concessions.

Pay per deal, not per month

Straight answers

Isn’t this just ChatGPT with a prompt?

You can practice a recruiter conversation in any chatbot. People do, and it stays generic. Counterspar builds the specific counterparty from your actual offer, with a hidden concession budget derived from your numbers. It referees the round with named tactics and a pressure meter, then ends with a graded scorecard plus a send-ready counter-offer pack. The rehearsal is the demo. The deliverables are the product.

What happens to my offer text?

It is stored under a random id, with no account and no name attached, only so the round can run. On a free round we scrub the offer text and the transcript 30 days after your last activity. The public scorecard link never contains your offer, your numbers, or any names. Prefer to keep it minimal? Paste a redacted version. The sparring works the same. Full detail is on the privacy page.

Who am I actually negotiating against?

A large language model playing the counterpart your offer implies, with a private flexibility model it defends like a real negotiator. Five difficulty levels, from a courteous professional to a shark who punishes hedged language.

What if I lose my key?

You cannot really lose it. The key lands on screen the moment you pay. The same key sits in your Polar order confirmation under "Access purchase", and in the Polar customer portal tied to the address you bought with. It is your receipt. Losing the tab does not lose the deal.

Why one-time pricing instead of a subscription?

Because you do not negotiate monthly. You pay once for the deal in front of you, drill it until the hardest version stops scaring you, and leave. If another offer lands next year, that is a new deal pack.

Will the advice actually be good?

The coaching follows standard negotiation doctrine: anchoring, leverage-backed asks, deadline pressure, silence. It grades you against what your specific counterpart could actually concede. It is a rehearsal partner, not a licensed advisor. The judgment on the real call stays yours.

How long does a round take?

A round is eight exchanges. Most people finish in six to ten minutes. The verdict lands about fifteen seconds after you end the call. Rematches are faster because your counterpart is already built. If the real call is tomorrow, you have time to drill all five levels tonight.
