The short version

  • Only Assistant.to has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Assistant.to no longer an independent product. assistant.to redirects to Cirrus Insight, which absorbed it; BambooHR organisations of 25 or fewer employees pay a flat rate starting at $250 a month, so a very small team pays far more per head than the listed per-employee price
  • They diverge on capability: Assistant.to covers In-email scheduling, BambooHR covers Employee database.
