The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Clockwise service discontinued and shut down on March 27, 2026; Supernormal credit consumption varies by task complexity and no rate card is published, so a team cannot forecast whether fifty credits covers a month of work until it has spent one, which makes the paid tiers hard to size.
  • They diverge on capability: Clockwise covers Focus Time protection, Supernormal covers Bot-free desktop capture.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Clockwise

  • Service discontinued and shut down on March 27, 2026
  • All user data was deleted upon shutdown
  • Integration with Asana was removed during product lifecycle

Supernormal

  • Credit consumption varies by task complexity and no rate card is published, so a team cannot forecast whether fifty credits covers a month of work until it has spent one, which makes the paid tiers hard to size.
  • Team and Business include the same fifty credits, so the higher tier buys governance rather than capacity, and a heavy user hitting the ceiling gains nothing by upgrading.
  • Capturing without a visible bot removes the prompt that reminds participants they are being recorded, but not the legal consent obligation in two-party consent jurisdictions, and the product makes that omission easy.
  • Desktop capture depends on the application running on the meeting host's machine, so a participant joining from a phone, a locked-down corporate laptop or a browser without the extension gets nothing.
  • The category is crowded with better-funded competitors bundled into Zoom, Microsoft and Google subscriptions customers already pay for, which puts sustained pressure on a small independent vendor and on the value of standardising a team on it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Clockwise: What happened to Clockwise?

Clockwise was acquired by Salesforce and shut down on March 27, 2026. The company announced the team was joining Salesforce to work on Agentforce. User data was deleted and prorated refunds were issued to paying customers.

Source
Supernormal: Does Supernormal join my meeting as a bot?

No. It captures from the desktop application, so no additional participant appears in the call. That is its main differentiator.

Clockwise: What integrations did Clockwise support?

Clockwise integrated with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, and previously Asana (though this integration was discontinued).

Source
Supernormal: How much does it cost?

Free gives 15 credits a month capped at 5 a day. Team is $20 a month and Business is $40 a month, both with 50 credits.

Clockwise: What were Clockwise's key features?

Clockwise offered AI-powered focus time protection, automatic meeting buffers, Slack status sync, smart lunch breaks, and team calendar synchronization to optimize schedules and prevent burnout.

Source
Supernormal: What does a credit buy?

Credits are consumed by tasks and usage varies with complexity. The vendor does not publish per-task rates, which is the weak point of the pricing model.

Supernormal: Do I still need consent to record?

Yes. Removing the visible bot does not remove the legal requirement in jurisdictions that require all parties to consent. Treat the absence of a prompt as a compliance risk, not a feature.
