Parakeet AI: unlimited plans or hourly credits, in a Mac and Windows app or desktop Chrome. "Full privacy mode" is on its paid plans; 10 free sessions of up to 10 minutes. Its page showed us prices in rupees only, so we quote no dollar price. Parakeet AI and ClapAssist, side by side.

No meeting bot, no notes dashboard, no clutter. Just the answer on your screen when the question lands.
Never joins the call, so there is no bot in the participant list. The window is excluded from screen share and recordings. The overlay sits at your eye line, so reading looks like thinking.
ClapAssist hears each question as it is asked and writes a spoken-ready answer from your real roles, projects and numbers. Glance, absorb, say it in your own words.
One interview? Practice. Every round of one job? Sprint. Whole job hunt? Job Hunt. Sprint and Job Hunt are unlimited inside their window, and every plan is hidden from screen share. Pay once. Nothing renews. When your days end, you are back on Free.
A comparison page you can trust has to say this part too.
Cluely's $19.99 Pro plan takes notes in any meeting and keeps a searchable history of them on their servers. ClapAssist writes a short recap after an interview and nothing for your other meetings. If you sit in daily standups and want a searchable record of everything, that is Cluely's product, not ours.
If what you need is to stay hidden from screen share during a Zoom, Meet or Teams interview without paying for Cluely's top tier, that is exactly what ClapAssist is for.
One honest note: ClapAssist is built for video interviews. It is not a way around locked-down coding test sites like HackerRank or CoderPad, which watch focus and keystrokes. It warns you when an exam app is open instead of hiding from it. Read is ClapAssist safe for the full limits.
Hidden from screen share on every plan, including Free. Practice covers one interview; Sprint and Job Hunt are unlimited inside their window. Every plan is paid once and never renews. Prices show in your currency, and one account works on Mac and Windows.
Yes. Every ClapAssist plan, including the free 10-minute starter, keeps the window out of screen shares and recordings. It is not a paid tier.
No. ClapAssist has no hidden tier: every plan is hidden from screen share, including Free. Every plan is paid once and never renews. When a window ends, your account returns to Free and you buy again only if you want to.
Download ClapAssist for Mac or Windows, sign in with email or Google, and add your resume and job description inside the app. There is nothing to import. They are saved to your account, so the app fills them in on any computer.
No. Nothing joins the call. ClapAssist listens on your computer, so the participant list stays exactly as it should be.
No. Audio is processed to produce the answer and is not kept on our servers. Details in the Privacy Policy.
English by default, whatever language is spoken on the call. In Settings, Answer in lets you pick another language, Hinglish, or the same language as the question.
No. Cluely is a trademark of its owner. Cluely prices and plan details on this page were taken from cluely.com/pricing on 28 August 2026, re-checked on 1 October 2026, and may change.
Each page states where that tool beats this one. If one of them fits you better, it is better to find out here than after paying us.
