  • 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; Employment Hero hR Essentials at AUD 10/employee/month requires a minimum of 10 users, so it cannot be bought for a team smaller than that even if actual headcount is lower
