Two well-funded AI twin startups landed in the news this autumn. SuperMe announced a $20M round led by Forerunner in late October 2026, and coaches started asking me the same question: is this the same thing as Delphi, and should I build my twin there instead of on BuddyPro?
Short answer: SuperMe, Delphi and BuddyPro all train an AI on a person's knowledge, but they are built for three different jobs. SuperMe is a free professional network where founders and operators ask simulated experts for advice. Delphi is a paid "digital mind" you run on your own channels, starting at $5,000 per year. BuddyPro is built for one specific outcome: an expert sells their AI twin to their audience as a premium subscription of around $1-2K per year and keeps 100% of the profit.
Here is what each one does, what it costs and who it fits, based on each company's public pages checked on November 2, 2026. Vendor terms change, so verify current pricing directly before you decide.

What is SuperMe?
SuperMe describes itself as a place to "think it through with people who've been there." Each person builds a profile trained on their real work, such as writing, talks and meeting notes, and anyone can talk to that profile or pull several of them into a group chat. According to AI Weekly's report on the funding round, the company was founded in 2024 by Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov, has around 13 employees, and makes its profiles reachable inside ChatGPT and Claude through Model Context Protocol.
The important part for an expert: SuperMe is free today, and the same report says the compensation structure for contributing experts is still being worked out. The company plans to meter queries behind a paid tier, but has not published a price. In other words, SuperMe is a reputation and networking play right now, not a way to earn from your knowledge.
Who SuperMe fits: operators in tech who want visibility and want their thinking to be discoverable when founders ask product, growth or marketing questions. It does not fit a coach who needs the twin to pay the bills.
What is Delphi?
Delphi builds a "digital mind" from your content that you run on your own website and channels. Per Delphi's public pricing page (checked November 2, 2026), the Scaler plan costs $5,000 per year and includes 12M training words, voice calls and 10 integrations. Scaler + API costs $10,000 per year and adds API access, SSO and 60-day onboarding. The Immortal plan for public figures and large audiences has tailored pricing with a dedicated strategist and text plus WhatsApp access.
The pricing page does not publish revenue-share, transaction-fee or creator payout terms for experts who want to charge their audience. If monetization is the reason you are looking, ask Delphi directly how subscriptions and payouts work on your plan before you sign. Older articles quoting $79 or $299 monthly Delphi plans are out of date.
Who Delphi fits: creators and executives who want an always-on clone for lead generation, audience engagement or internal use, and who are comfortable with a $5K+ annual commitment before earning anything from it.
What is BuddyPro?
BuddyPro is built for a different job: turning an expert's know-how into a premium product their audience pays for. The expert uploads what they already have (books, courses, videos, podcasts, frameworks), the AI maps the methodology into specialized knowledge roles, and within days there is an AI twin that coaches like the expert. It remembers each subscriber's situation over months, follows up proactively and pushes back when the person needs it.
The economics are the point. The license is $197 per month on annual billing ($2,364 per year). The expert sets their own subscription price, typically $1-2K per year, keeps 100% of the profit, and pays only the AI usage of their subscribers, around $15-30 per subscriber per month. That leaves 75-85% margins. Across 150+ launched twins, BuddyPro experts have generated $6M+ in total subscription revenue (October 2026), and on the top-performing twins 60% of subscribers are active daily and 80% weekly.
Who BuddyPro fits: coaches, consultants, authors and experts with an existing audience who want recurring revenue from their expertise without more 1:1 hours. I explain the wider model in my overview of AI mentor platforms for experts.
Does SuperMe or Delphi take a cut of your revenue?
Neither publishes one. SuperMe does not let experts sell access yet, so there is nothing to take a cut of, and how it will pay contributing experts is undecided. Delphi's pricing page lists flat annual plans and is silent on revenue share or payouts for creators charging their audience. BuddyPro takes no revenue share: the expert pays the license and AI usage, and the subscription revenue is theirs. I compared the money side across more platforms in this revenue-share comparison.
What about twin1?
twin1 often comes up in the same breath because it also raised a $20M seed in 2026 and uses the words "AI twin." It is an enterprise product: per SiliconANGLE's August 2026 report, twin1 builds twins of knowledge workers from their email, meetings and documents inside Slack, Teams, Outlook and Google Drive, with customers in law firms, banking and energy. There is no published pricing and no way to sell your twin to an audience. Great if you run a firm, not relevant if you are an expert building a product.
Which one should you choose?
- You want visibility among tech founders and operators, and money is not the goal: SuperMe.
- You want a clone on your own site for engagement or lead generation and have a $5K+ yearly budget: Delphi.
- You want your company's knowledge workers to have governed AI twins: twin1.
- You want to sell your expertise as a $1-2K/year subscription to your audience and keep the profit: BuddyPro.
The question that decides it is simple: is the twin a profile, a tool, or a product? SuperMe makes you a profile in a network. Delphi gives you a tool for your channels. BuddyPro makes your expertise a product people pay for every year, and most experts with an audience I talk to are looking for exactly that.
