Assistly vs LeetCode Wizard: which do you actually need? (2026)
By The Assistly team ·
LeetCode Wizard is one of the three most-discussed coding-interview tools alongside Interview Coder and Cluely. It does exactly one thing: read a coding problem on screen and generate a solution. If that's all you need, it's focused. But it's coding-only, priced at around €49/month, and its stealth story has a catch. Here's how it compares to Assistly.

What LeetCode Wizard does well
It runs a model trained daily on the newest LeetCode problems, which reviewers say solves complex problems more reliably than generic ChatGPT, with clear step-by-step explanations. It's cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux) and works across many coding environments. For raw algorithm answers in a coding round, it's purpose-built.
Where users run into trouble
- It's a coding-answer tool, not a copilot. It can't help in a behavioral round, a recruiter screen, a client meeting, or a sales call.
- The "undetectable" story has an asterisk. The vendor's own docs admit some screen-share software can bypass the desktop hide mode, and recommend running a "web view" on a separate phone or tablet for proctored interviews — which reviewers find awkward to read from.
- Limited tech behind the marketing. The creator described it on Hacker News as a "fairly simple ChatGPT/Claude wrapper."
- Price vs. legitimate prep. At
€49/month it's far pricier than LeetCode Premium ($13/mo) or NeetCode Pro (~$10/mo) if studying is your real goal.
How Assistly is different
- Make it yours — and harder to flag. Rename the app and swap its icon so it doesn't appear as a recognizable assistant in the process list or Activity Monitor, set custom knowledge modes for your own context, and bind your own hotkeys.
- Coding, system design, and conversation. Assistly has dedicated assist modes for coding and system-design rounds — and helps across behavioral interviews, meetings, and sales calls too. It follows the spoken conversation, not just a coding problem on screen.
- Persona-tuned answers. Built from your CV and notes, so guidance reflects your real background rather than generic model output.
- Native invisibility + your controls. OS-level screen-capture exclusion on macOS and Windows, with configurable hotkeys — no juggling a second phone to read answers.
- Speaker-level context + notes. Tracks who said what and hands you a summary and action items after every session.
- A quarter of the price. $14.99/month unlimited.
A note on intent: Assistly is built to help you be prepared and present in real conversations, used within the rules of whatever interview, meeting, or call you're in — not to misrepresent skills you don't have.
Which should you choose?
If you want nothing but raw LeetCode answers and accept the second-device workflow, LeetCode Wizard is narrowly built for that. If you want real-time help across every kind of conversation — interviews, meetings, and sales calls — that sounds like you and stays invisible at the OS level, Assistly is the better investment at a lower price.
