  • 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; Time Doctor historical tracking data retention is capped by plan: 3 months on Basic and 6 months on Standard, versus 2 years on Premium and Enterprise
  • They diverge on capability: Pi covers Conversational AI, Time Doctor covers Time tracking with timer.
