The short version

  • Only Pi has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Pi inflection AI's own homepage (2024 archive) pivoted its headline positioning to enterprise AI licensing rather than the consumer Pi assistant, with no consumer pricing or plans published on the corporate site
