The short version

  • Only Replika 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; Replika the App Store listing confirms Replika (Luka, Inc.) is free to download with core messaging available at no cost, but premium features are gated behind in-app purchases with no price figures disclosed in the listing.
