Bluedot vs Cluely

Bluedot

• People who do not want a bot joining their calls
• Recruiters and sales teams that sync notes to an ATS or CRM
• Recording in-person meetings from a phone or Apple Watch
• Workspaces where only some members record, since only they are billed

Cluely

• People who want AI help during a call, not only a recap afterward
• Mac and Windows users who want notes without a bot joining
• Sales and support calls where quick answers are needed mid-conversation

Bluedot

• The Free plan covers 5 meetings in total, not per month. Bluedot itself describes it as a lifetime trial.
• Basic records audio only and limits each recording to 1 hour. Video and unlimited duration need Pro.
• CRM and ATS integrations, SSO and SCIM need Business at $32 per user a month on annual billing.
• After a cancellation, recordings are inaccessible and are permanently deleted if the subscription is not restored within a month.

Cluely

• The free plan caps AI responses and meeting notes per day; Cluely does not publish the exact numbers.
• Hiding the overlay from screen sharing costs $149.99 a month, or $44.99 a month billed annually.
• It needs macOS Ventura 13 or later or Windows 11. Windows 10 is not supported, and the mobile app is iPhone only.
• Cluely lists live transcription in 12+ languages. Refunds are limited to 24 hours and to cases where it will not run on your computer.

Bluedot

Recording without a bot

The Chrome extension or desktop app captures audio and video on your own device, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex and Slack huddles without a bot or calendar access.

Notes from templates

Summaries follow templates for different kinds of meeting, such as sales calls and customer check-ins, in over 100 languages. Custom note templates need the Pro plan.

AI chat across meetings

A built-in chat answers questions and pulls up information from one meeting or from several at once.

In-person recording

The iOS and Android apps and an Apple Watch app record and transcribe face-to-face meetings, interviews and phone calls.

Sync to other tools

Notes go to Slack, Notion, Zapier and Make on every plan. Webhooks and MCP start on Basic, and CRM and ATS integrations such as HubSpot and Salesforce need Business.

Sharing, comments and clips

Share a recording by link, comment on specific moments and clip highlights. Existing audio and video files can be uploaded for transcription.

Cluely

Real-time answers during a call

Cluely follows the conversation and can read the screen. Pressing Cmd or Ctrl + Enter asks for help, with shortcuts for what to say next, follow-up questions and a recap.

Meeting notes and transcripts

Records meeting audio, transcribes it and produces shareable notes and drafted follow-up emails. The full transcript can be copied from the dashboard.

No bot in the meeting

It runs as an overlay on your own computer and never joins the call, so nothing is added to the guest list. It works alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex and Slack.

Hidden from screen share

On Pro + Undetectability the overlay does not appear in shared screens or meeting recordings. The standard Pro plan does not include this.

Custom instructions and files

Give Cluely your own prompts and upload reference files to shape its answers. Starter allows up to 3 files and Pro is unlimited. Cluely lists custom keybinds among its Pro features.

iPhone app

Takes meeting notes and gives live answers from a phone, with notes synced online. The app is currently for Apple devices only, and the pricing page lists a separate Mobile subscription.
