The verdict
Prices from delphi.co/premium/plans, read October 22, 2026.
Scaler, per year, the cheapest plan on your own channels
Scaler + API, per year
The only billing option since October 2026
Delphi is a polished product. It is built for public figures and experts with a large audience who want a clone on their website, in their community and on the phone, and who can budget $5,000 or more a year for it.
For most coaches it is hard to justify. Billing is yearly only, text and WhatsApp sit in the top tier, and Delphi's plan and feature pages do not list a way to charge your clients for access to your clone.
Public reviews are too few to settle it either way: seven across Trustpilot and Product Hunt when we read them. We did not test Delphi hands-on; this review is built from Delphi's own pages and those public reviews.
| For a coach, at a glance | Delphi | Personify |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest plan on your own site | $5,000 a year (Scaler) | Free tier, Pro $39 a month |
| Billing | Yearly only | Monthly or yearly |
| Charge clients for access | Not listed on plan pages | Stripe Connect built in |
| Voice | Pro voice calls from Scaler | Voice clone on Done-For-You builds |
| Built for | Public figures with large audiences | Coaches and course creators |
What Delphi is
Delphi, now at delphi.co, turns one person's content into a "Delphi": an AI version of them that people can ask questions. Its homepage has become a network. Visitors describe a situation and get perspectives from experts and people "who've been there", with names like Lenny Rachitsky, Codie Sanchez and Matthew Hussey featured.
Paid plans, which Delphi calls Premium, take your Delphi off the network and onto your own channels: your website, your app, your community and your phone number. Delphi says your Delphi stays on the network too.
Delphi lists who runs it this way: public figures, creators and coaches with a community, authors and podcasters, leagues and agencies, universities and companies.
Delphi pricing after the October 2026 change
Delphi removed its Builder plan and monthly billing in October 2026. Reviews written before then still quote the old plans.

| Scaler + API | $10,000 a year | API access, single sign-on, 60-day custom onboarding, 20M training words, unlimited integrations, priority support |
| Immortal | Tailored | Dedicated account strategist, white-glove setup, text and WhatsApp, custom applications, unlimited training words |

What Delphi does well
From Delphi's features page, read October 22, 2026. Credit where it is due.
It stays on your material. Delphi answers from content you have added and approved. Strict mode keeps it to your sources, and topic limits keep it off subjects you do not want to cover.
It goes where your audience is. A chat bubble or full page on your site, plus Mighty Networks, Substack and newsletters, so readers can ask the follow-up.
Voice calls. Pro voice calls are in Scaler, so people can phone your Delphi and hear your voice.
It can sell and book. Product recommendations suggest your books, courses and memberships. Actions can book a call on Calendly or add someone to a Kit list mid-conversation.
You see what people ask. Conversation insights show the most common questions and alert you when a conversation matters.
Access control and ownership. Access groups give members and the public different versions. Delphi says your content, conversations and contacts stay yours, and verified badges show people it is really your Delphi.
Where it falls short for coaches
None of these make Delphi a bad product. They make it a poor fit for a typical coaching business.
$5,000 before your first question. Your own site or community starts at Scaler, paid yearly. There is no monthly plan to try it on your own channels for a few months.
No listed way to charge for access. The plan and feature pages talk about recommending your products, not selling access to the clone itself. If you want clients to pay for it, ask Delphi exactly how before you buy.
The best channels cost most. API access and single sign-on need Scaler + API at $10,000 a year. Text and WhatsApp on your own number are Immortal only, priced to order.
It is pitched at big names. Immortal is labelled for public figures, celebrities and influencers, and the homepage leads with bestselling authors and founders. A coach with 40 clients is a different buyer.
What Delphi AI users say
Ratings and counts exactly as shown on each page on October 22, 2026. Reviewers paraphrased.
Trustpilot, from 4 reviews
Product Hunt, from 3 reviews
Trustpilot
The profile is unclaimed and Delphi has not invited customers to review, so Trustpilot itself warns the reviews may not be representative. Three of the four are one star. One reviewer says Delphi tried to renew them for nearly 8,000 in the second year without clear notice. Another, in September 2026, found the answers no better than a normal ChatGPT chat and the app laggy. A third is a one-line scam warning with no detail. The single five-star review says it works well.
Product Hunt
All three reviews are about two years old, and two are labelled founder reviews, one from Tavus, a company that supplies Delphi. Tiago Forte says his team routes expert support questions to his Delphi and it has handled over 30,000 messages. A speaker and coach says people thank him for "his" advice and that it has improved rapport when they meet.
Read together: people who fed Delphi a large body of content and pointed a big audience at it are happy. The recent complaints are about billing and answer quality. With yearly-only billing now, put the renewal date in your calendar the day you sign.
Who should buy Delphi
Buy it if
- You have a large audience asking the same questions every day.
- You want voice calls, product recommendations and booking inside the clone.
- $5,000 a year, paid up front, is small next to what your audience is worth.
- You want Delphi's team to build and run it for you, and Immortal's pricing works.
Skip it if
- You coach dozens of clients, not hundreds of thousands of followers.
- You want to pay monthly while you find out whether clients use it.
- You want clients to pay you for access to the clone.
- You need text or WhatsApp without a tailored top-tier contract.
