What they are
Observer
A meeting companion with undetectability included, a live transcript, screen context, meeting notes, and separate AI actions you trigger when you need them.
Cluely
An AI overlay with a mature brand. Undetectability is available, but on a separate tier that publicly lists at $149.99/month.
Undetectability too
Yes, Observer stays undetectable on screen share too — and it's included in the regular plan. No $150/mo add-on.
Bottom line
Choose Cluely if brand maturity matters most and the price is fine. Choose Observer if you want undetectability, control, and a visible transcript without paying enterprise rates.
