SalesGhost vs Cluely: Which Real-Time AI Assistant Is Built for Sales Calls? (2026)

SalesGhost vs Cluely comes down to one question: do you want a general-purpose meeting overlay, or a real-time assistant built specifically for sales calls? Both tools listen to your call and put private, invisible AI help on your screen. The difference is what that help is grounded in — and what happens around the call.

The Short Answer

Cluely is a horizontal "undetectable AI for meetings" — the same product serves interviews, lectures, and sales calls. SalesGhost is a sales copilot: live answers come from your knowledge base (docs, website, Slack, CRM), and the product includes objection-handling battle cards, AI scorecards, and team analytics that Cluely doesn't have.

Where Cluely Is Strong

Cluely deserves credit for making the invisible-overlay category famous. It responds fast, supports 12+ languages, and its free tier is a genuinely easy way to try the concept. If you want one general assistant across interviews, meetings, and study sessions, Cluely fits that broader use case — that's what it's designed for.

Where SalesGhost Pulls Ahead for Sales Teams

Grounded answers. When a prospect asks about API rate limits or your security posture, SalesGhost retrieves the answer from your actual documentation, website, and Slack — not from the model's general knowledge. Cluely supports uploading files, but there's no scraped knowledge base, no Slack ingestion, and no CRM context feeding the answers.

The sales workflow around the call. Battle cards surface pre-approved responses when objections come up. Scorecards grade every call against your criteria. Managers get ramp tracking and team trends. Cluely ends when the call ends.

Pricing honesty. SalesGhost includes screen-share invisibility in every plan (£30/month personal, £50/seat teams). Cluely charges $19.99/month for Pro but moves its signature undetectability feature to a $149.99/month tier — 7.5x the price for the feature most people signed up for.

The Trust Question

Cluely grew through deliberately provocative "cheat on everything" marketing, and in March 2026 its CEO publicly admitted the revenue figures he'd given press in 2025 were false. That's worth knowing if you're rolling a tool out to a revenue team, where procurement and security reviews care about vendor credibility. SalesGhost's position is simpler: the overlay is private to the rep, and the value is preparation and recall — knowing your own product cold — not deception.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose SalesGhost if you run a sales team and want live answers grounded in your own knowledge, objection battle cards, scorecards, and CRM sync — with invisibility included at normal pricing.

Choose Cluely if you want a general-purpose meeting assistant for mixed personal use cases and don't need sales workflows or a team layer.
