Cluely, InterviewBee, and TechScreen split the AI interview market by use case
Cluely, InterviewBee, and TechScreen are often grouped together, but their pricing and product limits point to different jobs to be done: live meeting help, interview prep plus assistance, or a technical-interview workflow.
Three products, three different jobs to be done
Readers keep comparing Cluely, InterviewBee, and TechScreen as if they were one category, but the current pricing pages show three different product shapes. Cluely presents itself as a meeting AI that helps during the call, not after, while InterviewBee blends interview prep with live assistance, and TechScreen frames itself around technical interviews with token and conversation limits.
That difference matters because the buying decision is not just about whether a tool uses AI. It is also about whether someone wants a general live assistant, a mix of practice and live help, or a more specialized workflow tied to technical interviews.
Across the three, the relevant comparison points are the same: what each product says it does, what it costs, what platforms it supports, and what changed recently on its pricing page. On those points, the products now separate cleanly instead of overlapping into one broad interview-assistant bucket.
Cluely: general live assistance with a free tier and premium undetectability option
According to Cluely’s pricing page, the product has three plans: Starter, Pro, and Pro + Undetectability. The Starter plan is free and includes limited AI responses, limited meeting notetaking, custom instructions, file uploads, and access to past meetings.
The Pro plan costs $19.99 per month and adds unlimited AI responses, unlimited meeting notetaking, unlimited access to the latest AI models, and priority support. The highest tier, Pro + Undetectability, costs $149.99 per month and says it is completely hidden to meeting screen-sharing software.
Cluely says the product is available on desktop and mobile, and the pricing page offers both a Mac download and an App Store download. That platform spread makes it look more like a general live assistant than a single-purpose interview tool.
InterviewBee: one-time packs that combine practice and live help
InterviewBee takes a different pricing approach. Its pricing page says the model is one-time payment only, with no subscription and no auto-renewal. That alone separates it from the monthly structure used by Cluely and the quarterly billing used by TechScreen.
The Free Plan is lifetime access and includes one 15-minute Live Assistant session, one 15-minute Mock Interview session, 20+ mock interview scenarios, and a performance report. Paid Interview Packs start at $29 and add live-assistant sessions, mock interviews, 100+ scenarios, latest-generation reasoning models, and detailed performance feedback.
On its homepage, InterviewBee says it offers live AI assistant help in under two seconds and practice with voice-based AI mock interviews. It also says its desktop app works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and most browser-based or desktop interview tools, and that its stealth mode keeps it out of those screen shares.
TechScreen: technical-interview workflow with quarterly caps
TechScreen’s pricing page is more tightly bounded than the other two. It lists three tiers: Essential at $32 per month billed every three months, Professional at $47 per month billed every three months, and Expert at $80 per month billed every three months.
Every TechScreen plan includes a 3-day free trial, and the app can be canceled or changed anytime. More important for the product shape, the plans are capped by quarterly tokens and conversation time, ranging from 150 tokens and 1.5 hours on Essential to 1.5K tokens and 27 hours on Expert.
Those limits make TechScreen look like a usage-metered technical-interview helper rather than a broad, always-on assistant. Compared with Cluely and InterviewBee, it is the clearest example of a product that packages AI around a narrower workflow instead of a general live-support model.
What changed, and why the comparisons keep getting mixed up
The recent pricing and product pages are what sharpen the split. Cluely’s page now lays out a free starter tier, a paid Pro tier, and an expensive undetectability add-on. InterviewBee’s pricing page emphasizes lifetime access and one-time packs instead of a recurring subscription. TechScreen continues to organize access around quarterly billing and hard usage caps.
So when people compare these tools, they are not just comparing prices. They are comparing different ideas of value: free starter access and a premium hidden mode from Cluely, practice-plus-live sessions from InterviewBee, and token-limited technical interview coverage from TechScreen.
For buyers, that means the right question is not which one is best in the abstract. It is which one matches the actual job to be done: live meeting assistance, interview prep plus live support, or a constrained technical-interview workflow.
