Why people switch.
The free plan is 50 answers a day, every day, not a single trial session.
Unlimited is $39.99 a month, Pro $19.99 with 7 days free. No credits to count, no session clock.
An AppImage and a .deb, not a browser tab.
The app is open source. Use our free plan, or your own OpenAI, OpenRouter or local Ollama model.
When Parakeet AI is the better pick
Parakeet AI also runs in the browser and has mock interviews, the first one free. If you want to practice with mock interviews, Parakeet has them; Meetingly focuses on the live call.
Switch in three steps.
For Windows, macOS or Linux. The app updates itself from then on.
A free account takes a minute and gives you 50 answers a day. Pro adds the latest GPT and Claude models.
Press Listen. When the other side asks a question, the answer is on your screen before they finish.
Questions people ask first.
Do I pay per session?
No. There are no credits or timers: the free plan gives you 50 answers a day, Pro is $19.99 and Unlimited a flat $39.99 a month.
Is it hidden from screen sharing?
Yes, on every plan and on by default. On Windows and macOS the operating system keeps Meetingly's windows out of screen shares and recordings. Linux desktops don't offer this.
Does it work with Zoom, Google Meet and Teams?
Yes. Meetingly never joins the call: it listens to your computer's audio, so it works with any meeting app.
Can I see the code?
Yes. The desktop app is open source under the Apache-2.0 license on GitHub. Read it, build it yourself, or run it with your own OpenAI, OpenRouter or Ollama key.
Is using this allowed?
That depends on where you use it. Many interviews and exams prohibit outside help; check the rules you agreed to. Meetingly is a tool, and how you use it is your responsibility. See the terms.
Help during the call, not after it.
