The short version

  • Only Replicate 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; Replicate private model deployments are billed for all the time instances are online, including setup and idle time, not only for processing
