What is Cluely's revenue?
Cluely has not published revenue or ARR, and we found no reliable press report of it. Night Watcher's traffic-based model puts its run rate at an estimated $1M to $5M a year. The model assumes self-serve sign-ups from website visits, so it can badly understate a company that sells through a sales team. Treat it as a rough scale, not a revenue figure.
ARR (annual recurring revenue) is the yearly value of current subscriptions; annualized revenue scales a recent month or quarter up to a year. Neither is audited revenue. See what ARR is.

About Cluely
- Cluely sells a desktop AI assistant for meetings that takes notes and gives real-time answers during calls, marketed as undetectable to other participants. cluely.com
- Founded in 2025. techcrunch.com
- Founders: Roy Lee, Neel Shanmugam. techcrunch.com
- The $120 million valuation is approximate: TechCrunch said the post-money valuation was around $120 million, citing two investors not part of the deal. techcrunch.com
- CEO Roy Lee admitted in March 2026 that the $7 million ARR he gave TechCrunch in summer 2025 was false. His correction post showed June 2025 consumer ARR of $2.7M (run rate $3.8M) and enterprise ARR of $2.5M (run rate $2.5M). Because of this, no Cluely revenue figure is recorded as fact here. techcrunch.com
- In April 2025 TechCrunch reported Cluely had passed $3 million ARR; this was a founder claim made before the later admission, so it is not recorded as a revenue figure. techcrunch.com
- Cluely has rebranded from its original 'cheat on everything' pitch to an AI meeting note-taker. techcrunch.com
- Cluely started in San Francisco; in November 2025 Roy Lee told The San Francisco Standard it plans to relocate to New York, with no timeline. Headquarters is therefore left blank. sfstandard.com
