Cluely vs Otter.ai: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

Cluely is a desktop overlay and mobile app that joins you during calls without appearing as a guest. It listens to the meeting, reads what is on your screen, and shows live answers, talking points, and notes in a small widget that stays out of sight during screen share.

It works for sales calls, interviews, client meetings, and everyday standups. After the call ends, it turns the audio and screen activity into notes, a full transcript, action items, and a draft follow-up email you can send right away.

A free Starter plan covers the basics, while paid plans unlock unlimited AI responses, unlimited notetaking, and the option to make the widget invisible during screen sharing.

Otter.ai is an AI meeting assistant that turns spoken conversations into clear, searchable notes. It can join your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls automatically, or record in-person talks through its mobile app.

As you talk, Otter writes a live transcript, tags each speaker, and captures slides shown on screen. Once the meeting ends, it builds a summary with the key topics, decisions, and action items, so you do not have to write anything down yourself.

Otter AI Chat lets you ask questions about one meeting or your full meeting history, and connects with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Slack to push notes where your team already works.

There is a free plan for light use, along with Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans that add more transcription minutes, team features, and security controls for larger organizations.
