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; Talkwalker now rebranded Lumen by Talkwalker; pricing page names three tiers, Core, Analyze and Business, differentiated by non-sampled results volume (2x and 6x) and topic/filter/channel counts, but publishes no figures and directs buyers to request a custom quote
  • They diverge on capability: Pi covers Conversational AI, Talkwalker covers Social listening.
