The short version

  • Only Pi has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Pleo card delays and transaction limits impact usability, with limited regional acceptance in some areas
  • They diverge on capability: Pi covers Conversational AI, Pleo covers Company cards.
