Hoory and AIyou live in the same new category: personal AI clones. Both can answer questions in your style and sit between you and your audience. But under the hood, they prioritize different things.

Hoory leans toward simple AI clones for basic communication. AIyou is built as a monetization engine for creators—with built‑in subscriptions, affiliate options, and deep community integrations.

Similarities: What AIyou and Hoory Both Offer

  • AI clone that answers questions based on your knowledge
  • Web‑based interface your audience can interact with
  • Basic analytics on usage and conversations

Where They Differ: Monetization, Voice, and Community

Monetization Deep‑Dive: Hoory vs AIyou

For many creators, the real question is not “Which clone feels nicer?” It is “Which platform actually helps me earn?”

Hoory: Good for basic clones, light on revenue tools

Hoory lets you ship a simple AI clone quickly. If your only goal is, “Can my audience ask a few test questions?”, Hoory is a low‑ friction way to get there.

But as soon as you want to charge for access—add plans, handle renewals, bundle with a community, or track revenue— you end up reaching for separate tools: Stripe, membership platforms, and manual workflows.

AIyou: Built as a revenue line from day one

AIyou assumes your AI clone is a product. You set price, choose subscription or access tier, and everything else— billing, access, and reporting—is part of the platform.

  • Launch paid AI tiers in a few clicks
  • Offer discounts and bundles with your community
  • Let partners promote you via built‑in affiliate tools

Creator Case Study: Hoory‑Style Clone vs AIyou Monetized Clone

Example: “Alex”, mindset coach with a small membership

Alex has a 150‑member community paying $39/month. She wants an AI version of herself that can answer questions between calls.

Path 1 — Basic Hoory clone: Alex builds a Hoory clone and shares the link with members. Engagement goes up a little, but there is no new revenue stream tied directly to the AI.

Path 2 — AIyou monetized clone: Alex launches “Ask‑Alex AI” on AIyou for an extra $19/month per member. 50 members upgrade in the first month.

  • Extra revenue: 50 × $19 = $950/month
  • AIyou cost at growth tier: ~$150/month

Net new profit from the AI clone alone: ≈ $800/month—on top of the existing Circle/Podia revenue. The same engagement that would be “free” on Hoory becomes a dedicated revenue line on AIyou.
