Head to head

Calm Business vs Wellhub

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Calm Business

Sales-quoted

Employer meditation and sleep benefit. Not the consumer Calm app. Pricing is sales-quoted.

Where Calm Business fits

  • Benefits teams adding a mental-wellness app
  • Employers that want meditation and sleep, not therapy
  • Companies already comparing Headspace for Work
  • HR teams that will take a quote for a per-employee benefit

Wellhub

Sales-quoted

Employer wellness subscription across gyms, studios, and wellbeing apps (formerly Gympass). The company contribution is sales-quoted; employees pick a monthly plan.

Where Wellhub fits

  • Employers that want gym and app access as the wellbeing benefit
  • Companies replacing a single-gym corporate membership
  • HR teams that will share cost with employees
  • Global offices that need a partner network rather than one vendor clinic

Where they pull apart

Calm Business

Stands out: The Calm content library as an employer SKU: sleep and meditation, not therapy.

Watch out: Do not buy the consumer subscription and call it a benefit. This is a quoted employer plan, and it is not clinical care.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers that need licensed therapy
  • Teams that want a public per-employee price
  • Buyers confusing this with the consumer App Store product

Wellhub

Stands out: It is a fitness-and-apps network, not a clinical EAP: employees book gyms and premium wellness apps from one membership, which is why utilization looks like a gym benefit rather than a therapy benefit.

Watch out: Budget two line items. The employer pays an annual, headcount-based contribution (quoted). Employees then pay a monthly plan from Digital at $0/mo up to Diamond at $344.99/mo. A 'free wellness perk' still asks staff to subscribe unless you subsidize a paid tier.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need clinical therapy and psychiatry
  • Employers that will not ask employees to pay a monthly plan
