Summary

GhostAssist

The privacy-first, stealth-standard tool for Windows professionals. One payment, full model control, no cloud dependency, no compromise on data.

Cluely

A polished cross-platform SaaS for teams who want a managed, cloud-backed experience. Stealth and the full feature set require their premium subscription tier.

LockedIn AI

An interview-preparation-focused tool with subscription pricing. Stealth is gated behind the top tier, and there is no comparable privacy or BYOK freedom. GhostAssist gives you the freedom to choose your own provider.

The only one that's truly invisible, and truly yours

One-time purchase. No subscription. Full control.
