Where they pull apart

Leena AI

Stands out: An HR-trained assistant that sits on your policies and HCM so employees are not emailing people-ops for password and leave questions.

Watch out: Quote-only. Garbage-in policies produce garbage answers. Confirm which HCM (Workday, SAP, BambooHR, ADP) is a supported connector before you demo.

Not the right fit for

Companies with no written policies to index
SMBs that can still answer Slack by hand
Buyers who need a public per-employee price

Workativ

Stands out: Session-based pricing with no per-user fees, so the whole company can talk to the agent. Business is a published $349/mo session SKU, unusual in this category.

Watch out: Business caps you at 500 AI chat sessions, 2 agents, 5 actions, 3 live agents, and 60 days of data retention. The old $99 Starter plan is no longer listed. Enterprise is custom.

Not the right fit for

Enterprises that need a quote-only HRSD suite on top of Workday
Buyers who need unlimited sessions on the cheapest card

Pros and cons

Leena AI

HR-specific assistant, not a generic GPT wrapper
Broad HCM and collaboration connectors
24/7 deflection for repetitive people-ops questions

Sales-quoted only
Answer quality depends on the knowledge you give it
Not an HRIS

Workativ

Published Business plan at $349/mo with no per-user fee
Business is a flat session SKU rather than PEPM
Slack and Teams deployment without buying a full ITSM

500 sessions on Business may not cover a very busy HR inbox
Capterra has only 4 reviews
Enterprise connectors and extra sessions leave the public table
