The home page, as read, describes a meeting assistant and does not mention interviews. Its page title and one plan name describe the product in terms of not appearing on screen shares; that is the company’s own claim about its own product, quoted once below only to say what Cluely sells. The company’s earlier interview positioning and its move to meeting notes were reported by TechCrunch in November 2025 (article).

What does it cost?

The pricing page, as read, lists three plans: Starter, free, with “Limited AI responses” and “Limited meeting notetaking”; Pro at $19.99 a month with “Unlimited AI responses” and “Unlimited meeting notetaking”; and a third plan at $149.99 a month, named for its screen-share feature, whose added line reads:

Completely hidden to meeting screen sharing software
Cluely, Pricing, third plan, read October 28, 2026

The page title advertises Pro “from $11.99/mo” while the monthly card shows $19.99; the annual price is not displayed on the page as read. No refund or trial sentence appears on it.

What does Casepartner do differently?

Built for one kind of conversation

Cluely describes a general meeting assistant. Casepartner is built for the consulting case and fit round and evaluated on it: the hint shapes are structure, next question, math check, STAR skeleton, and silence, because those are the moments a case interviewer grades.

A hint, not an answer

Cluely’s page says it gives real-time answers. Casepartner shows one hint under 40 words and never a sentence to read aloud; a case has no answer to retrieve, and a read script sounds like one.

In plain view, nothing stored

Casepartner sits on your screen in a browser tab. It makes no claim about screen sharing in either direction, and it records nothing: the shared tab’s audio becomes a live transcript that is gone when the session ends. The firms’ positions on live AI help during interviews are quoted in the firm policies guide; Casepartner is built for practice and says so on every page.

Which one should you pick?

Pick Cluely if you want meeting notes and on-demand answers across many kinds of calls, on a desktop app, at $19.99 a month.

Pick Casepartner if your conversations are consulting case and fit interviews, you want a prompt rather than an answer, and you want nothing recorded. For a comparison with the largest interview-specific product, see Casepartner vs Final Round AI.
