The short version

  • Only Subframe has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Subframe the free plan is capped at 1 project, 10 pages, and 2 prototypes with limited AI usage and only 24 hour version history, versus unlimited AI on the $29 per editor per month Pro plan, as of August 2026.; TriNet no fixed pricing is published; the site states pricing depends on company size and state and requires talking to a consultant for a quote, per trinet.com, August 2026
