We're excited to be back on Product Hunt with Clara 2.0. -Clara is now more accurate than a human, read more here: . -Clara now has a visual dashboard to see real-time scheduling status and manage meeting preferences. -Clara has new entry pricing starting at $99/month. -Clara now offers a free two week trial, you can start one at . Lastly, for today only, we're offering 20% off Clara the first 3 months for all PHers in honor of Valentine's Day. Once you sign up for a two week free trial just send an email to with subject line Product Hunt Valentines to redeem this offer. Happy hunting, and excited to dive into deeper discussion in the comments!
who is your target customer that's willing to pay $99/mo+?
Probably anyone who can't afford paying thousands of dollars/month for a personal assistant.
Oustanding product. Switched to Clara after my experience with x.ai which caused some of my contacts to get mad for calls scheduled at 2 am and other mishaps. Probably due to the human/AI hybrid (vs full AI of x.ai), Clara never seems to fail, always responsive and handles people's schedules like I could never do!
this is not really the point since by paying thousands of dollars for a personal assistant you'll get more than just meetings. I don't think Clara will be able to make you a coffee or open the door when some customers are arriving. I will definitely pay $99 a year for a just-meetings assistant.

Hey Tom! Thanks for taking the time to ask. Today we primarily support founders and team members at SMBs. They spend hours a week scheduling meetings, as you likely do. Their alternatives to Clara are either A. doing this work themselves or B. finding and training a person to do it for them. Both of these solutions cause a lot of heartache. Clara is zero heartache, all seamless support.
This is awesome. I actually don't think the price is that crazy. The price matches the market target of the product: people heavy on meetings without the access to capital to hire a full-time PA or contract one. I just have a few small suggestions about the website and the marketing materials. The call to action in the homepage, where you ask for users' work email address, is very clear and spot on, but the pricing page lacks that. When I go to the pricing page, I can see the tiers, but there's no clear call to action. I can't directly purchase one of the plans, which probably means you're missing out on users who don't need a trial, they just want to purchase it straight away. For your market target, this is probably a reasonable chunk of users. But let's say you do want users to go through the trial first; in the pricing page there's no Start Trial button, just a "Already on a trial? Sign in to subscribe" that is hard to see and is a bit cryptic. I think some people have mentioned a video, but I can't find it. Looking forward to try it out!
I must say, the video was impressive! It's like...magic! Kudos to y'all!
I think I know exactly how to use this. & : Do you have packages for orgs so that my entire company can use the service?

Definitely, feel free to reach out to discuss () once you sign up for a two week trial!
Just signed up for the free trial - whoo!!!
Hi and . Clara looks amazing but I doubt the product market fit you are looking for is there with this pricing model. Or, you need to be a bigger drug deal - give people a 3 month trial and once it is engrained into their ritual the price becomes irrelevant. For me 2 weeks is not long enough... sometimes my meetings happen 2 weeks out so then it becomes a hostage situation instead of an addiction. Just food for thought. Otherwise on it's own the product looks amazing.
Also a direct tie-in to an online meeting facility would be amazing - join.me, zoom, pluot, gotomeeting, whatever.
Maker
Thanks for the feedback Tom! We support any such meeting facility as long as you can tell Clara a static link for meetings.
This is really cool!
Are there any plans to offer the professional service on a per meeting level (somewhere around $1-5 per meeting)?
Maker
Thanks for asking! Really good question. We've really wanted Clara to be a service that "just works" without your having to think about it. Our concern has been that the pain of deciding every time - "to CC Clara or not to CC" - takes away from some of the magic of really being able to hand everything over to us. We have gotten folks asking about volume based pricing, however, and could re-consider it. Do you have further thoughts here? Would love to hear them!
Great product, but I think your price-point is way off. I'd definitely look at this for $100 a year.
