Mirrored Trade vs Kreo

TL;DR

• Venue coverage: Kreo supports Polymarket and Kalshi. Mirrored is Polymarket-only. If you trade Kalshi today, that's a real Kreo advantage.
• Interface surface: Kreo ships a web platform plus Telegram bots with information-dense dashboards. Mirrored is Telegram-only with an anchor-message UX — different bet on what feels natural day-to-day.
• Curated lineups: Mirrored ships five hand-picked Auto Pilot lineups with sizing and risk settings tuned. Kreo's copy trading is DIY — you research and pick wallets yourself, with buy/sell presets to standardise execution.
• Fee transparency: Mirrored publishes its fee policy in docs and in code — 1% only on winning copy exits, 1% per leg on manual. Kreo's fee schedule is not on the public site.
• Per-trader risk controls: Mirrored gives every mirrored trader its own size mode, slippage, price band, and per-trade and per-market caps.
• Wallets: Both use Privy. Same security baseline.
• Speed and reliability: Mirrored handled over $1M in copy-trade volume within three days of launch without execution issues. One venue, one interface, no web frontend in the hot path — fewer layers between a leader's fill and yours.

At a glance

Kreo features are based on docs.kreo.app and enter.kreo.app as of May 2026.

1. Venue scope — Polymarket-only vs Polymarket + Kalshi

Kreo describes itself as "the safest and fastest way to copy trade, track wallets, and do everything in between on prediction markets" — plural. In practice, that means Polymarket and Kalshi. Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated US exchange, and Polymarket is the larger on-chain venue. They're very different products underneath, but if you want one UI across both, Kreo is the broader tool.

Mirrored is intentionally Polymarket-only. We integrate with Polymarket's CLOB directly, use Polygon-native pUSD for settlement, and route deposits through the Polymarket relayer. The trade-off is depth on the venue we do support: better fills, finer-grained risk controls, more transparent on-chain plumbing.

If Kalshi is core to how you trade, Kreo wins this one. If your edge is on Polymarket, Mirrored is the more focused tool.

2. Web platform vs Telegram-native

Kreo ships a web app, a Telegram bot, and (per their docs) a browser extension that will sit inside Polymarket and Kalshi's native UIs. That tri-surface approach is useful when you want to research on a desk, execute on a phone, and act inside the venue itself.

Mirrored is Telegram-only. The whole product lives inside one chat with an anchor message that updates in place — fewer screens, no app switching. We bet on Telegram-first being the right interface for fast, frequent trades; Kreo bets on spanning web, mobile, and in-venue surfaces. Both are legitimate.

3. Curated Auto Pilot vs DIY copy trading

Kreo's copy trading is DIY: you find a wallet (via Wallet Tracker or the leaderboards), pick a Buy/Sell Preset, and the bot mirrors fills proportionally. Presets standardise how trades execute, but you still pick who to copy.

Mirrored takes a different path: five curated Auto Pilot lineups — All Categories, Aggressive, Sweaty, Relaxed, and Super Aggressive. Each is 10 hand-picked Polymarket traders with size mode, slippage, price band, and per-trade caps already tuned for the lineup's style. There's no questionnaire and no preset wiring — you tap a lineup name and you're live. See the Auto Pilot docs.

Curated lineups are legible ("why is this trader in my mix?" → editorial choice) and frictionless to enable. DIY plus presets is more configurable but requires more upfront research. Both are valid; they target different user profiles.

4. Fee transparency

Mirrored publishes its fee policy plainly and applies it in code:

• Copy trades: 1% only on winning copy-trade exits. Losing copy trades are free.
• Manual trades: 1% per leg.
• No subscription, no signup fee, no spread markup. Polymarket's relayer covers on-chain gas.

Kreo doesn't publish a fee schedule on the public site. If you're comparing total cost of ownership, confirm Kreo's pricing inside the product before funding. See our full policy in the copy-trading docs and manual trading docs.

5. Per-trader risk controls

Kreo documents price range and slippage controls via Buy/Sell Presets — the same knobs Mirrored exposes, but applied at the preset level rather than per trader. Mirrored applies controls at the level of each individual trader you mirror, plus a portfolio-level cap that crosses traders:

• Size mode — Fixed dollar / Percentage of leader / Portfolio weight.
• Slippage tolerance — per trader, in percent.
• Price band — e.g. 30¢–70¢, per trader.
• Per-trade cap — hard dollar ceiling per individual copy.
• Per-market cap — total exposure across every trader for one market.

Full breakdown is in the copy-trading docs.

6. Speed and performance — proven at scale

In copy trading, speed is the gap between the leader's fill and yours. Smaller gap means closer entry prices, fewer skipped trades on slippage, less "chasing the move," and better realised PnL on the same signal.

Mirrored cleared over $1M in copy-trade volume within three days of launch — sustained execution at that velocity without dropped fills, stuck queues, or rate-limit incidents. That's the load test that matters: real users firing real trades against a live venue. The architecture is built for it:

• One venue, one path. Mirrored integrates directly with Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon. No cross-venue dispatcher routing between Polymarket and Kalshi, no shared infra between two different exchanges with different clearing models. Less code in the hot path means lower variance in execution latency.
• No web frontend to load. Mirrored is Telegram-only. No JS bundle, no auth refresh, no page navigation between you and the trade. Your fill confirmation is a Telegram push notification, not a page render. The anchor-message UX updates in place, so repeated screens don't re-load.
• Stream-driven copy engine. Mirrored watches leader wallets on-chain and triggers copies the instant a fill is observed. Caps, slippage, and price bands are evaluated in-memory — not via a round-trip to a settings page or preset resolver.
• Polymarket relayer for gas. On-chain operations route through Polymarket's relayer instead of waiting on per-transaction RPC gas pricing from your wallet. One fewer source of variable delay.

Kreo is a wider product — two venues, three surfaces (web + Telegram + browser extension coming), with presets, backtesting, and a PnL calendar. That breadth is legitimately valuable. It also means more layers — UI state, preset resolution, venue dispatch — sitting between a market event and your order going on-wire.

7. Where Kreo is the stronger product

Honest concessions — Kreo's documented feature set covers a lot of ground Mirrored doesn't today:

• Kalshi support alongside Polymarket. If you split volume across both venues, this is a real productivity win.
• Advanced order types. Kreo documents limit orders, stop-loss, and take-profit. Mirrored currently supports market and limit orders for manual trading; stop-loss and take-profit aren't shipped yet.
• Buy / Sell presets. Save reusable trade configurations and apply them across markets. Mirrored uses per-trader settings instead.
• Backtesting. Kreo's "Backtest & Portfolio Lookup" lets you evaluate a strategy before deploying capital. Mirrored doesn't ship a backtesting layer.
• PnL calendar with day-by-day performance visualisation. Mirrored shows portfolio PnL but not in a calendar view.
• Web app with information-dense dashboards alongside the Telegram bot. A browser extension is documented as coming. Mirrored is Telegram-only.
• Wallet Tracker as a standalone tool for monitoring specific addresses, separate from copy trading.
• Fiat card deposits in addition to crypto. Mirrored is crypto-only (pUSD direct, or bridge USDC/USDT/ETH/SOL/BTC).
• Rewards layer. Kreo documents copy-trade rewards and cash-back rewards on top of referrals. Mirrored only ships the referral side today.
• 2FA at the account level.

If you want a comprehensive auto-trading platform across Polymarket and Kalshi — with advanced order types, presets, backtesting, and a web UI — Kreo is the more featureful tool. If you want cheap, transparent, well-bounded copy trading on Polymarket with curated lineups out of the box, Mirrored is the more focused one.

8. Wallet model — both use Privy

Both Mirrored and Kreo use Privy for embedded wallets — the same TEE-backed infrastructure with delegated signing. Kreo notes Privy is "backed by Stripe"; the underlying tech is the same on both sides. Neither bot holds your funds.

Mirrored exposes the full 24-word BIP-39 seed phrase for export straight from Telegram. Kreo documents self-custody and account-level 2FA; we haven't verified whether Kreo exposes the BIP-39 phrase or only a private key. Read our model in the security doc.

9. Education library

Kreo doesn't ship dedicated educational resources. Mirrored does:

• Polymarket beginner guide
• How Polymarket works
• How to copy trade
• Trading strategies
• Profit calculator
• Odds converter

So which should you use?

Pick Kreo if you trade across Polymarket and Kalshi, you want advanced order types (limit, stop-loss, take-profit), reusable buy/sell presets, backtesting, a PnL calendar, a web dashboard, or fiat-card deposits.

Pick Mirrored if your edge is on Polymarket specifically, you want curated Auto Pilot lineups with sizing and risk pre-tuned, you want a published fee policy you can verify (1% only on winning copy exits), and you want per-trader risk caps instead of preset-level ones.

They're not zero-sum. You can run Kreo and Mirrored side-by-side on separate wallets if the split fits your workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mirrored support Kalshi?

Not currently — Mirrored is Polymarket-only. Polymarket and Kalshi are very different stacks underneath (on-chain CLOB vs CFTC-regulated exchange), and we've focused on going deep on Polymarket first.

Is Kreo or Mirrored cheaper?

Mirrored publishes its fee schedule: 1% on winning copy-trade exits, 1% per leg on manual trades, no subscription. Kreo doesn't publish a fee schedule on the public site; check inside the product before funding.

Do both Mirrored and Kreo use Privy?

Yes. Both bots are non-custodial and use Privy's TEE-backed wallet infrastructure. Mirrored exposes the full 24-word BIP-39 seed phrase for export from Telegram. Kreo documents self-custody plus 2FA.

Does Mirrored support stop-loss and take-profit orders?

Not currently. Manual trading on Mirrored supports market and limit orders today; stop-loss and take-profit aren't shipped yet. If those order types are core to your strategy, Kreo is the stronger choice on that axis. See our manual trading docs.

Does Mirrored offer backtesting?

Not today. Kreo documents a "Backtest & Portfolio Lookup" feature that Mirrored doesn't ship an equivalent of. Mirrored's leaderboard publishes 30-day realized PnL and risk-adjusted consistency, which serves a similar purpose at the wallet level but isn't the same as running a backtest.

Can I deposit with a credit card on Mirrored?

No — Mirrored is crypto-only. You can deposit pUSD on Polygon directly, or bridge from USDC, USDT, ETH, SOL, or BTC. Kreo documents both crypto and fiat-card deposit options.
