Mirrored 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.
• Surfaces: Both ship a web app, a Telegram bot, and a browser extension. The difference is shipping status — Mirrored's extension is live on the Chrome and Firefox stores today; Kreo documents its extension as coming.
• 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, a server-side copy engine, 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 June 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's Polymarket and Kalshi. Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated US exchange; Polymarket is the larger on-chain venue. The two are very different underneath, but if you want one UI across both, Kreo is the broader tool.

Mirrored stays Polymarket-only on purpose. We talk to Polymarket's CLOB directly, settle in Polygon-native pUSD, and route deposits through the Polymarket relayer. What we give up in breadth we get back in depth on the one venue we support: better fills, finer-grained risk controls, and on-chain plumbing you can actually see.

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. Surfaces — both multi-surface, ours shipped

This used to be Kreo's clearest edge: a web app, a Telegram bot, and a browser extension on the roadmap, up against a Telegram-only Mirrored. That gap has closed. Mirrored now runs on three surfaces that share one account and one wallet:

• Web trading terminal. The full dashboard at mirrored.trade: market pages, manual trading, Auto Pilot, per-trader settings, portfolio, and the Sharps leaderboard.
• Telegram bot. The anchor-message UX for fast trades and fill alerts, linked to the same web account.
• Browser extension — live now. Our Chrome and Firefox extension is already on the stores. It runs on polymarket.com, shows you which sharps hold any market right on the page, badges the hottest markets, and lets you mirror a trader in one click without leaving the tab. Kreo lists an extension as coming; ours is shipped. See the extension doc.

Kreo's web app is dense and spans two venues, which genuinely helps cross-venue research. But on the narrow question of "can I act inside Polymarket's own UI today," Mirrored is the one with a shipped extension.

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 goes the other way: five curated Auto Pilot lineups — All Categories, Aggressive, Sweaty, Relaxed, and Super Aggressive. Each one bundles 10 hand-picked Polymarket traders with size mode, slippage, price band, and per-trade caps already tuned to the lineup's style. No questionnaire, no preset wiring — tap a lineup name and you're live. See the Auto Pilot docs.

Curated lineups are easy to reason about ("why is this trader in my mix?" → we chose them) and take one tap to turn on. DIY plus presets gives you more to configure but asks for more upfront research. Both work; they just suit different people.

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 put a fee schedule on its public site. If you're weighing total cost, check Kreo's pricing inside the product before you fund. Our full policy lives in the copy-trading docs and manual trading docs.

5. Per-trader risk controls

Kreo documents price range and slippage controls through Buy/Sell Presets — the same knobs Mirrored offers, just set at the preset level instead of per trader. Mirrored puts those controls on each individual trader you mirror, plus a portfolio-level cap that spans 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.

There's a full breakdown 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. A smaller gap means closer entry prices, fewer trades skipped on slippage, less "chasing the move," and better realised PnL off the same signal.

Mirrored cleared over $1M in copy-trade volume within three days of launch — and held that pace with no dropped fills, stuck queues, or rate-limit incidents. That's the load test that counts: real users firing real trades at a live venue. The architecture is built for it:

• One venue, one path. Mirrored talks straight to Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon. There's no cross-venue dispatcher routing between Polymarket and Kalshi, and no infra shared between two exchanges that clear differently. Less code in the hot path means steadier execution latency.
• Server-side copy engine. The instant we see a leader's fill, copies get evaluated and routed on our backend — it doesn't matter which surface (web, Telegram, or extension) you have open. No UI sits between a market event and your order going on-wire; the confirmation just shows up as a notification.
• Stream-driven leader tracking. We watch leader wallets on-chain and fire copies the moment a fill lands. Caps, slippage, and price bands get checked in memory — not through a round-trip to a settings page or preset resolver.
• Polymarket relayer for gas. On-chain operations go through Polymarket's relayer rather than waiting on per-transaction RPC gas pricing from your wallet. One less source of variable delay.

Kreo is the wider product — two venues, plus presets, backtesting, and a PnL calendar. That breadth is genuinely valuable. It also adds layers — cross-venue dispatch, preset resolution — between a market event and your order going on-wire.

7. Where Kreo is the stronger product

Credit where it's due — Kreo's documented feature set covers plenty of ground Mirrored doesn't, at least today:

• Kalshi support alongside Polymarket. If you split volume across both venues, that's 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.
• Fiat card deposits on top of 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 cross-venue 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 and a shipped extension inside Polymarket, 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 points out that Privy is "backed by Stripe"; either way, the underlying tech is identical on both sides. Neither bot holds your funds.

Mirrored lets you export the full 24-word BIP-39 seed phrase from the web app (Settings → Security) or Telegram. Kreo documents self-custody and account-level 2FA; we haven't confirmed whether it hands you the BIP-39 phrase or just a private key. Read our model in the security doc.

9. Education library

Kreo doesn't ship a dedicated learning library. 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 cross-venue 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), per-trader risk caps instead of preset-level ones, and a browser extension that's shipped inside Polymarket today.

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?

No — Mirrored is Polymarket-only. The two run on very different stacks underneath (on-chain CLOB vs CFTC-regulated exchange), and we've chosen to go deep on Polymarket first.

Does Mirrored have a browser extension like Kreo?

Yes — and it's already live on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons. It shows you the sharps holding any Polymarket market right on the page and lets you mirror them in a click. Kreo lists an extension as coming; Mirrored's is shipped. See the extension doc.

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 one on its public site, so check inside the product before you fund.

Do both Mirrored and Kreo use Privy?

Yes. Both bots are non-custodial and run on Privy's TEE-backed wallet infrastructure. Mirrored lets you export the full 24-word BIP-39 seed phrase from the app or Telegram. Kreo documents self-custody plus 2FA.

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

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

Does Mirrored offer backtesting?

Not today. Kreo documents a "Backtest & Portfolio Lookup" feature, and Mirrored doesn't ship an equivalent. Our Sharps leaderboard does publish 30-day realized PnL and risk-adjusted consistency — similar in spirit at the wallet level, but not 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 in from USDC, USDT, ETH, SOL, or BTC. Kreo documents both crypto and fiat-card deposits.
