**Short answer:** If you want live answers that stay hidden on screen share, the closest Cluely alternatives are Odrivyn ($19/mo, adds a shared company brain and recaps) and Final Round AI (interview-only, $148/mo monthly). If you only need notes after the call, Granola, Otter.ai and Fathom cost less but don't help during it.

## What does Cluely do, and why look elsewhere?

Cluely is a desktop overlay that answers questions during calls and stays out of screen shares. Its Pro plan is about $20 a month. People look for alternatives when they want answers grounded in their whole company's knowledge, a recap and follow-up after the call, a lighter app than Electron, or a tool built for one kind of call, such as interviews.

## Which is best for job interviews?

Final Round AI is built only for interviews and bundles job-search tools. Odrivyn covers interviews and coding interviews too, lets you practice against your own CV and the job description, and costs $19 a month.

## Which is best if you only need notes?

Granola if you like writing your own notes and want them improved; Fathom if you want free recordings and summaries and don't mind a bot in the call.
