[ pocket agent vs twin ]

Twin builds agents inside their app. Pocket Agent builds them inside your GitHub.

Twin gives your team a workbench for assembling AI agents in Slack. Pocket Agent hands you the assembled team — ten packaged AI Agents already reading your business — and everything they make lands in accounts you own.

Start for $37 See pricing

Generic AI starts from zero. Pocket Agent starts from your business.

The short version.

	Twin	Pocket Agent
What it does	A platform where teams build and run AI agents, installed straight into Slack.	Ten packaged AI Agents — Sales, Marketing, Content, Customer Support, Research, and more — running on your own business context.
Mode	You assemble agents from their catalog and tune them for your team.	You hire a pre-built team. Every outgoing send is staged in Mission Control until you approve it.
Where the work lives	Inside Twin's platform. Leave, and the agents and their setup stay behind.	In accounts you own — your GitHub, your Vercel, your Supabase. Leave, and the work stays with you.
Pricing	Pro around $20 a month on a credit meter; Enterprise is custom.	$37, $97, or $497 a month. Flat. No usage meter.

[ the actual difference ]

Where the two products actually split.

Twin is a serious product. They raised a $10M seed led by LocalGlobe, they claim 70,000+ businesses on the platform, and their customer logos are real brands — Keller Williams, Redfin. If your whole company lives in Slack and you want an agent in the channel this afternoon, their install path is shorter than ours. Say that plainly and move on.

The split is what you're buying. Twin sells a workbench: a catalog of agents you pick from, configure, and run inside their platform. Pocket Agent sells the workers: ten packaged AI Agents with the configuration already done, each one reading your Business Brain — your voice, your prices, your customers, your decisions — from the first day. Twin starts from a catalog. Pocket Agent starts from your business.

And there's a line Twin can't cross: where the work lives. Everything a Twin agent builds lives inside Twin. Everything a Pocket Agent builds lands in accounts you own — your Business Brain is a folder of plain files in your own GitHub (a free account you set up in under a minute — Pocket Agent walks you through it), your landing pages go live on your own Vercel (also free, also under a minute to set up), your customer data sits in your own Supabase (same — free, quick to set up, no technical knowledge required). Cancel tomorrow and the sites stay live, the brain stays yours, and every email already sent is sent. The agents themselves stop — they live in Pocket Agent — but everything they made is yours.

You own the stack. You rent the workers. Twin can't match that without rebuilding their platform — their business model is the walled garden.

The third column says who wins each row. Some rows Twin wins — a comparison that never concedes anything isn't a comparison.

From a customer

This spot is reserved for a real customer, in their own words. We don't print invented quotes, and we don't print composites here either.

Until then: Pocket Agent runs inside three businesses Chase Whited owns — Tennessee Valley Exteriors (a contracting company), Whited Consulting (a software agency), and AthleteOS (a sports SaaS). Same workspace, same brain, same cockpit.

Questions buyers actually ask.

Can Pocket Agent work inside Slack like Twin does?

Yes. Slack DM and @mention are live, and the same agent answers on SMS, WhatsApp, iMessage, and forwarded email. One brain, one memory, every door.

Twin claims 70,000+ businesses. Isn't the bigger product the safer bet?

Scale is a real signal and we won't pretend otherwise. The question to ask is what happens to your work if you ever leave. On Twin, it stays behind. On Pocket Agent, it was in your accounts the whole time — so the safer bet is the one where leaving costs you nothing you made.

Do I need to know how to code for the GitHub part?

No. GitHub is a free account that takes about a minute to create — about as easy as making a Facebook account — and Pocket Agent walks you through every step. It's simply where your business context lives, in files you can open and read.

What actually happens if I cancel Pocket Agent?

Everything the agents made stays: your websites stay live on your Vercel, your Business Brain stays in your GitHub, your customer data stays in your Supabase. The agents themselves stop — they run inside Pocket Agent. Come back any time and they pick up where they left off.

Is Pocket Agent SOC 2 certified?

Not yet — SOC 2 Type I is planned. If a certification is a hard requirement today, we're not there yet and we won't pretend to be.
