What our research says

Cluely

Cluely gives live, on-screen prompts during sales calls rather than after-the-fact analytics, which is its real differentiator from typical call-recording tools. It's the same underlying real-time-overlay technology the company first marketed for cheating on interviews and exams, now repositioned and priced for sales teams.

Pros

  • Live, in-call prompts rather than only after-call analytics
  • Works across five major video platforms plus Gong on Enterprise
  • Auto-generates CRM-synced follow-up emails
  • Supports 50+ languages

Cons

  • The company's origin as an interview/exam-cheating tool may be a reputational concern for some buyers
  • Advanced coaching features are Enterprise-only with custom pricing
  • No transparent published Enterprise pricing

Guidy

Guidy answers a real question — where is the button? — without taking control away from you, which is the right shape for training and for people who want to learn the software rather than have it done for them. A $69 one-time price is refreshing next to monthly assistants, but the credits are finite and the vendor is anonymous.

Pros

  • Reads the live screen and highlights the exact control to click next
  • Guides instead of taking over, so the user learns the software
  • Works across any screen-based app rather than a fixed integration list
  • $69 one-time with 5,000 credits, no subscription required today

Cons

  • Credits are consumed and run out — 5,000 covers about 1,000 guided actions before a top-up
  • No company name, registration or country published anywhere
  • Windows and macOS only; no Linux and no mobile

Which one fits

Choose Cluely if you need

  • Sales reps wanting live prompts during calls, not just post-call review

  • Managers wanting call-shadowing oversight on the Enterprise tier

Choose Guidy if you need
