Comparison
Cluely vs. Minuta: two live-answer copilots
Cluely and Minuta both sit on your desktop, skip the meeting bot, and suggest answers while the call is still happening. The differences are price, what it costs to stay hidden on screen share, live translation, Linux, and native Portuguese and Spanish. Here's the side-by-side.
Before, during and after
Pick the right one
Cluely
- You want an iPhone app alongside the desktop copilot.
- Your calls are in one of the 12+ languages Cluely lists and you don't need live translation.
- Being hidden from screen sharing is your core requirement and the Pro + Undetectability plan fits your budget.
- You want to ask AI about past meetings and attach files as context in the same tool.
- You speak English as a second language and want live transcript, live translation, and a suggested answer before the silence gets awkward.
- You want screen-sharing protection without a separate premium tier (best effort on macOS and Windows; not available on Linux).
- You run Linux, or need macOS, Windows, and Linux under one plan.
- You want a website, app, and copilot in Portuguese or Spanish.
- You want to lock the Founding 100 offer at US$ 6.99/month for 12 months while seats last.
