I'm pretty familiar with IK because it's a direct competitor to the company I work at. I actually am not as familiar with SwitchUp - which I agree is much more like a bootcamp, whereas the other three options are shorter for job hunting support and not appropriate as a bootcamp alternative.
The only kind of hidden thing that's not obvious is that company is based in India with most (if not all) of their full time employees working in India: [https://in.interviewkickstart.com/careers#Job-openings](https://in.interviewkickstart.com/careers#Job-openings)
Their audience and majority of customers are India, but the company has numerous mentors and ties to Silicon Valley so it's still effective at preparing you for jobs in the USA based market, it should be noted that the tech market in India is extremely different than in the USA. For example, SWEs at Google in India are evaluated with much harder questions than in the USA and people really grind the hardest problems to prepare, with less focus on problem solving and interview communication.
