Two Tools, Two Different Philosophies

These platforms represent fundamentally different approaches to AI assistance:

StudyX AI is for:

Students in open study environments
Those who don't need privacy features
Budget-conscious users ($13/month)
Multi-platform access needs
Traditional homework help scenarios

Cluely is for:

Users needing complete privacy
Those in monitored environments
Mac users only
Situations requiring undetectable AI
Users willing to pay extra for privacy

Privacy Reality: StudyX AI will be visible to any screen monitoring, recording software, or exam proctoring system. Cluely operates undetectably. This is THE fundamental difference between these tools.

The Bottom Line: If privacy doesn't matter and you want the cheapest option, StudyX AI at $13/month works fine. If you need undetectable AI assistance (exams, monitored work, privacy concerns), only Cluely (or similar hidden tools) will work - StudyX AI simply can't provide this feature.

Want Undetectable AI for Both Windows AND Mac?

While Cluely only works on Mac, Hiding offers the same undetectable AI technology for BOTH Windows and Mac users. Get true cross-platform privacy protection with the original hidden AI assistant.
