Parakeet AI plan names, features and prices taken from parakeet-ai.com on 27 August 2026. They can change; check their page before you decide. "Not mentioned" means their site does not say it, which is not the same as not having it. ClapAssist prices show in your local currency automatically.
No meeting bot, no notes dashboard, no subscription. 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.
Interview this week? Quick Pass. Whole job hunt? Interview Pass or Pro. Every one is a single payment. When it ends you go back to Free, and nobody charges your card again.
A comparison page you can trust has to say this part too.
Parakeet AI works in desktop Chrome and on mobile web without installing anything, lets you choose between GPT, Claude and Gemini models, and its credits never expire. ClapAssist is a desktop app with one model and passes that run 7 or 30 days.
For the price of one Parakeet hour you get five ClapAssist Quick Passes. Hidden from screen share on every plan.
One honest note that applies to both: ClapAssist is built for video interviews. It is not a bypass for locked-down coding platforms like HackerRank or CoderPad, which watch focus and keystrokes.
Pay once. No subscription, nothing auto-renews. Prices are shown for your region automatically. One account works on Mac and Windows.

No. Parakeet AI is a trademark of its owner. Their prices on this page were read from parakeet-ai.com on 27 August 2026 (India pricing) and may change.
