Built for interviews, and it runs on Windows
Cluely is a general assistant for any call, and its site lists Mac and iOS. InvisiHire is built for one situation, the interview, ships a desktop app for Windows, and keeps the overlay out of shared screens on every plan.
If you interview from a Windows laptop, or you want to stay out of a screen share without moving to a premium tier, this one is straightforward.
Why choose InvisiHire over Cluely
It runs on Windows
Cluely lists Mac and iOS. Most candidates interview from a Windows laptop, and InvisiHire ships a desktop app for Windows, which is what most candidates interview from.
Staying out of the screen share is not a paid extra
Cluely puts being hidden from screen sharing on its highest tier. With InvisiHire the overlay stays out of a shared screen on every plan, including the free one.
It knows which job you applied for
InvisiHire reads your resume and your uploaded documents and answers as you, with your own experience in the answer. A general meeting assistant does not know the role you are interviewing for.
Two languages and 12 screenshots
InvisiHire supports more than 60 languages and lets the interviewer and answer languages differ. You can also send up to 12 screenshots in one question when a coding problem runs past a single screen. Neither is advertised by Cluely.

Frequently asked questions
Does InvisiHire run on Windows?
Yes, Windows 10 and 11, which is the practical reason most people compare these two. Cluely lists Mac and iOS. A macOS build of InvisiHire is in development and not available yet.
Do I have to pay to stay out of a screen share?
No. With InvisiHire the overlay stays out of a shared screen on every plan, including the free one. Cluely places that on its higher tier.
Cluely works on any call. Is InvisiHire only for interviews?
It is built for interviews first, and it also handles sales calls, meetings and language practice. Cluely is the broader general assistant with notetaking and custom prompts. If you want one tool for every meeting all day, that breadth is a real advantage.
Which is cheaper for occasional use?
InvisiHire, if you interview in bursts. Minutes are bought once and never expire, so nothing runs while you are not using it. A monthly subscription charges through the quiet months too.
Can it read a coding problem from my screen?
Yes, up to 12 screenshots in one question, read together so the constraints below the fold are included, with the function signature copied exactly as given.
