Cluely vs TwinMind

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

TwinMind

• People who want one running record of meetings, calls and in-person conversations
• Unlimited transcription and summaries without paying
• Max subscribers who want their meeting history available inside ChatGPT or Claude

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.

TwinMind

• Phone call recording, audio file upload and premium AI models need Pro; speaker separation, MCP access and email auto-tagging need Max.
• The help center says the iOS and Android apps record from the microphone only, and points to the Chrome extension for capturing a video meeting's audio.
• Recording works offline, but transcripts and summaries are generated only once the device is back online.
• Speaker separation works only on recordings made with Save Audio on, and bulk export of notes is not available yet.

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.

TwinMind

All-day capture

The phone app keeps transcribing with the screen off and has no fixed recording limit. TwinMind says it is tuned for 16 or more hours of battery life, based on its internal testing.

Capture on your own devices

The Chrome extension records the audio of browser-based Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls, while the iOS and Android apps record through the microphone. Mac, Windows and Apple Watch apps are also offered.

Summaries, digests and chat

Each recording gets an editable summary, and daily and weekly digests recap what was captured. You can ask questions of a single note or across everything stored.

140+ languages

The homepage says spoken languages are detected automatically across more than 140 languages and can be translated in real time. A settings option translates transcripts and summaries.

Audio deleted by default

Audio is processed and deleted after transcription unless you turn on Save Audio. A local mode, on iOS only, keeps notes on the device instead of backing them up to the cloud.

MCP access for AI tools

On the Max plan, ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP clients can search notes, summaries, transcripts and tasks with read-only access, signed in through OAuth.
