If you're currently in the military then you can get one of the travel credit cards with free tsa precheck or global and get the fee waived.

If your work requires you to have a TWIC card you can use that to skip the line.

What benefit does clear even offer over TSA pre? their business model never made sense to me since TSA pre offers the same thing for less money.

None. It's 1 of the providers TSA Pre uses. TSA pre doesnt offer it, you go through one of the 3 providers. https://www.tsa.gov/precheck/enrollment-centers The link will also show which provider is used with TSA at the airport.

If your work requires a TWIC card, you should be Precheck approved already. By "skipping the line" you mean to line up in the Precheck lineā€¦Use the CIN number on the back of your TWIC card for the KTN number when you book your flight BEFORE you get to the airport. Most, if not all, airlines' websites have a way of adding your CIN number to your profile (in the field for KTN). All your boarding passes after that should indicate Precheck. YMMV for just going to the Precheck line because 1) they usually have security at the start of the Precheck line checking boarding passes for Precheck and if you don't enter your CIN number before hand it will not indicate as such and 2) many TSA agents don't even know what a TWIC card is.

I have TSA Precheck and fly a couple of times a month. Every time I'm waiting in the TSA precheck line, someone who has Clear always comes through the Clear line passing everyone in the Precheck line. Even if there are 2-3 Clear gets to go through before Precheck. I don't know of it is a benefit or airport workers just don't care but I've seen it at multiple airports.

How is it the same? If you have clear and pre check, you skip the pre check line. If you don't have pre check you skip the general line and still have to take off your shoes and electronics etc. so no, they are not the same

TSA Pre verifies you're a safe traveler and gives perks when you reach the security checkpoint, and Clear simply allows you to skip standing in any line and goes directly to security. TSA Pre was the original line skipper, but so many travelers have it now, and the lines are long, so they added a new incentive (because of course). Clear uses biometric scanning (face and fingerprint) as verification to move the line quickly.

I travel 4 or 5 times a year and usually have a new Clear "come back" trial available, so I've never paid for it. Canceling the trial ends the service immediately, so don't do it too early if you plan to travel within a short timeframe. After the initial trial you'll receive emails or prompts in the app to come back and try Clear again for x months (usually 3-4 months).

So it allows you to skip the line and then go into a regular security lane? Or it allows you to skip the line and then go into the Pre-check security lane (don't have to take off shoes)?

Which lane you go to depends on whether you have a Pre-check membership. You're skipping the line where you scan your boarding pass and ID ahead of security.

ETA: I think the intentions of Clear was supposed to span larger than just airports (think sports games, amusement parks) but I don't know that it's been widely adopted in those ways yet.

You would essentially just go to the front of the pre-check line (if you have pre-check as well as Clear). So the actual security check is the same as you would usually have, pre-check or regular, you just get to skip ahead of everyone else in line.
