The Short Answer
Three published numbers explain most of the searching.
BuddyPro's published annual licence, before AI usage
AI usage per subscriber per month, from their own material
where a BuddyPro twin lives, per their own documentation
Personify if you want the clone on your own branded page, inside the course or membership your clients already bought, with a free tier so you can see it working before you spend anything.
CoachVox AI if $99 a month suits you better than an annual licence and you are comfortable with the 10% commission plus Stripe fees they publish alongside it.
Delphi if reaching people across several channels matters more to you than where the clone is hosted.
And BuddyPro itself if your audience already lives on Telegram and you are selling one premium annual subscription into it. That is what it is built for, and our full comparison with BuddyPro goes through it properly.
Why People Look For An Alternative
Four reasons people arrive on this page, all of them drawn from what BuddyPro publishes.
The cost floor arrives before the first client. $197 a month billed annually is $2,364 committed up front, and their own material adds AI usage at roughly $0.03 to $0.08 per message, or about $20 to $30 per subscriber per month on top.
The client has to install something. Their documentation states that your BuddyPro AI expert lives on Telegram. Setup then walks the client through installing the app, registering a phone number, entering an SMS code and linking a desktop by QR code. A white-label mobile app is a paid add-on.
You cannot see it before you buy. There is no public demo or trial. Access sits behind a purchase or a booked call, and the bespoke tier is application-only.
The price you are advised to charge is high. The pricing they suggest for your own subscribers is $1,000 to $2,000 a year each, which is a real question about your audience before it is a question about software.
One more thing worth knowing if you are weighing their traction. BuddyPro's own material reports 653 or more experts building, 150 or more instances launched, 5,500 or more subscribers, more than $5.1M in recurring revenue generated and an average of $34,500 per launched instance. Their blog separately says 130 or more twins generating $4.6M. The two sets of figures differ. We are noting that rather than explaining it, because only they can.
None of the above is a fault. It is a shape, and it fits some businesses precisely. The rest of this page is for the businesses it does not fit.
1. Personify
Our own product, so read this section with that in mind. Every figure is one you can check.
A Personify clone lives on a branded clone page. You share the link, or you embed it inside Thinkific, Teachable, Kajabi or Circle with single sign-on, so the student is already logged in. There is nothing for the client to install and no phone number to hand over. It answers in 100+ languages.
Pricing is a free tier, then Pro at $39 a month or $29 a month billed annually. Self-serve clones are text. Voice is part of Done-For-You only, which is scoped on a discovery call rather than published as a list price.
A Done-For-You build includes a professional voice clone at 97% likeness, live voice conversation, curated training across your books, courses, PDFs and video, a branded interface, native WhatsApp integration and a success manager. It goes live around day 14. Done-For-You builds carry no Personify commission on what you charge for access.
Who uses it
The co-founder of the EMCC launched his clone on stage at the EMCC's own global conference.
Co-founded the EMCC, now the standards body for coaching and mentoring across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australasia
Books authored, alongside more than 900 articles across 40 years
Ask David launched at the EMCC Global Annual Conference in Zagreb, built on Personify
Prof. David Clutterbuck is widely described as the world's most published author on coaching and mentoring, and as the godfather of the field. He pioneered the PERILL Model and the Coach Maturity Model, and is a visiting professor at Henley Business School. He did not quietly trial a clone. He launched Ask David in front of the profession that accredits itself to his standards.
Where it is weaker: if your audience genuinely lives inside a messaging app and you want to meet them there, a page-based clone is a different shape of product, and you should weigh that honestly before choosing.
2. CoachVox AI
The lowest published monthly price of the three, with a published commission attached.
CoachVox AI publishes $99 a month plus a 10% commission plus Stripe fees. If you are charging for access, model that commission into your numbers before you compare it with a flat licence, because the two behave very differently as your subscriber count grows.
Their done-for-you option is setup assistance on their standard platform. In their own words, their expert trainers create your AI based on your content and coaching style. It is positioned as a fallback for people who would rather not do the build themselves, not as custom development. They publish no custom development, no voice and no white-label offering.
We have a longer look at them in Personify vs CoachVox AI.
3. Delphi
The multi-channel option in this group.
Delphi sells paid tiers for a clone trained on your content, with reach across several channels rather than a single place your audience has to come to. If being available in more than one destination is the thing you are actually buying, it belongs on your shortlist.
We have deliberately not put numbers next to that. Compare their current published tiers directly, and see Delphi vs CoachVox for how the two line up against each other.
4. Others Worth A Look
Adjacent tools that come up in the same searches.
Rocky.ai and Pickaxe both appear alongside these platforms and both are worth ten minutes of your own research. We are not going to describe their features or pricing here, because we would be repeating other people's summaries rather than something we have checked, and this page is only useful if every line on it survives being checked.
If a tool is not listed on this page, it is not a judgement. It means we have nothing verified to say about it yet.

"Not published" means we could not find a figure in that company's own material on the date we checked. It does not mean the feature is missing. Ask them directly, and check current pricing before you commit.
How To Choose
Three questions, in the order that actually decides it.
Where will your client be standing? If the honest answer is "inside the course they already bought", you want an embedded page. If it is "in a messaging app all day", weigh the platforms built around that.
What does it cost at your subscriber count? A flat licence, per-message usage and a percentage commission diverge fast. Model all three at the number of clients you actually expect, not the number you hope for.
Do you need it to sound like you? If a spoken answer in your own voice is central to the offer, that narrows the field quickly, and on Personify it means Done-For-You rather than self-serve.
Can you see it work first? Building a clone on a free tier and reading its answers tells you more in an afternoon than any comparison page, including this one.
The pricing page sets out the self-serve tiers in full, and Done-For-You covers the voice, the branded build and the custom work.
The test
Whichever you pick, you should be able to read its answers before you pay for a year of it.

Personify builds a professional voice clone at 97% likeness with live voice conversation, and that is part of the Done-For-You service rather than the self-serve plans. CoachVox AI publishes no voice feature.
Do any of them take a cut of what I charge?+
