Cluely Pricing 2026: Plans, Cost & Is It Worth It?
$44.99/mo billed annually ($539.88/yr), or $149.99/mo month-to-month. The $19.99 Pro plan does not include undetectability.
People who already use Cluely for daily meeting notes and also need stealth for interviews. For interview-only use, the pricing is hard to justify against alternatives that ship stealth at $19/mo.
At $44.99/mo annually, maybe, if you're running a long search and value the meeting notetaking features too. At $149.99/mo month-to-month for a few interviews, probably not.
Cluely pricing has a structure that catches people. The headline Pro plan is $19.99/mo. The annual option brings it down to $11.99/mo. A free tier lets you try the product before spending anything. So far, so expected.
Here's what's easy to miss: the feature most candidates actually need for live interviews, hiding from the interviewer's screen-sharing software, is not in the $19.99 Pro plan at all. It lives on a separate tier called Pro + Undetectability, priced at $149.99/mo on monthly billing or $44.99/mo annually. That's 7.5 times the base Pro price on monthly billing, or 3.75 times on annual. For interview prep specifically, Cluely pricing is not a $19.99 question. It's a $149.99 question.

The three Cluely plans
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free (Starter) | $0 | $0 | Limited AI responses, limited meeting notetaking, upload up to 3 files, ask AI about past meetings. No undetectability. |
| Pro | $19.99/mo | $11.99/mo ($143.88/yr) | Unlimited AI responses, unlimited meeting notetaking, latest AI models, priority support. No undetectability. |
| Pro + Undetectability | $149.99/mo | $44.99/mo ($539.88/yr) | Everything in Pro, plus completely hidden from meeting screen-sharing software. |
One thing worth understanding before going further: Cluely started as a general AI meeting assistant, not an interview tool. The core product helps with meeting notes, real-time AI queries during calls, and follow-ups. Undetectability was added so the overlay doesn't appear on screen shares, which is what makes it usable in an interview context. If you're coming to Cluely purely for interview prep, you're paying for a general meeting product with one interview-relevant feature that costs extra and sits on the most expensive tier.
The $130/mo gap between Pro and Pro + Undetectability
On monthly billing, undetectability adds $130/mo on top of Pro. That's not a rounding error or a minor premium. Going from $19.99 to $149.99 for a single additional capability is a jump most candidates don't expect when they first look at the Cluely pricing page.
On annual billing the math looks better. $11.99/mo versus $44.99/mo is a 3.75x increase, and $539.88 for a full year of interview-capable Cluely is at least a predictable annual spend rather than a monthly surprise. But $539.88 upfront for interview prep is a real number. For context, that's equivalent to paying LastRound AI's $19/mo Starter plan for over two years, with stealth included from day one.
One thing Cluely hasn't published: exactly how the undetectability technology works or which specific platforms it covers. The marketing says "completely hidden to meeting screen-sharing software." Whether that holds for every interviewer setup, proctoring software variant, or GPU configuration, I can't independently verify. Worth knowing before you pay for the top tier.
Which plan fits which situation
- You use Cluely for daily meeting notes, not interviews: Pro at $19.99/mo or $11.99/mo annually is sufficient. Unlimited AI responses, unlimited notetaking, latest models. The lack of undetectability is irrelevant if screen-share hiding isn't something you need.
- You're actively interviewing and need to hide from screen-sharing software: Pro + Undetectability is the only option. Monthly is $149.99, annually is $44.99/mo ($539.88/year). There is no middle tier.
- You're early in prep, not actively interviewing yet: Free gives you limited AI responses and limited meeting notetaking. Enough to get a feel for the interface, not enough for a live interview where stealth matters.
- You need interview stealth for a short, concentrated search: Monthly Pro + Undetectability at $149.99 is the only no-commitment path. Run the math: how many interviews are you expecting in the next 30 days, and what does $149.99 cost you per interview? If you're expecting two to three interviews total, the per-session cost is high.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cluely worth it for interview prep?
Cluely pricing for interview use depends entirely on which plan you're evaluating. The $19.99 Pro plan doesn't include undetectability, so it's not useful for live interviews where the interviewer controls screen sharing. The plan that works for interviews, Pro + Undetectability, costs $149.99/mo or $44.99/mo annually. For interview-only use over a short search window, that's expensive. If you're also using Cluely heavily for meeting notes and interviews are a secondary use case, the math shifts somewhat.
Does Cluely have a free plan?
Yes. The Free (Starter) plan includes limited AI responses, limited meeting notetaking, file uploads for up to 3 files, and the ability to ask AI about past meetings. Unlimited responses and undetectability are not included. The free tier is adequate for evaluating the interface and basic meeting features, not for a live interview where you need the overlay hidden from the interviewer's view.
Why does undetectability cost so much more than the Pro plan?
Cluely hasn't published a detailed explanation for the pricing gap. Screen-share hiding is a real engineering problem: it requires system-level rendering that bypasses capture APIs, and it needs ongoing maintenance as video conferencing platforms update their software. What's notable is that most interview-specific tools include this feature at their base paid price rather than gating it behind a premium tier. Whether Cluely's premium reflects engineering cost, product positioning, or both, I don't know.
What's the cheapest Cluely plan that includes stealth for interviews?
Pro + Undetectability is the only tier that hides Cluely from screen-sharing software. Month-to-month, that's $149.99. Billed annually, it's $44.99/mo ($539.88 per year). Neither the Free plan nor the $19.99/mo Pro plan includes undetectability. There is no middle option between Pro and Pro + Undetectability.
Should I pay Cluely monthly or annually if I need stealth for interviews?
If your search is likely to run six months or longer, the annual Pro + Undetectability at $44.99/mo ($539.88 upfront) costs substantially less per month than the $149.99 monthly plan. But $539.88 upfront is a real commitment for interview prep. If your interview window is shorter, say two to four months, the monthly plan at $149.99 avoids the lock-in, even though the per-month cost is much higher. Neither option is cheap for what most candidates need the tool to do.
If you want to compare before committing, the LastRound AI interview copilot starts at $19/mo with desktop stealth included from day one. The mock interview tool covers behavioral, technical, and coding formats. The resume builder is included at the base tier.
