The short version

  • Only Replika has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Xero the Early plan caps you at 20 invoices and 5 bills per month, and the invoice limit counts both approving and sending
  • They diverge on capability: Replika covers Conversational AI, Xero covers Bank reconciliation.
