Where they pull apart

Lyra Health

Stands out: The network is built around matched clinical care (therapy and psychiatry, not a meditation library with a therapist bolted on), which is why large employers treat it as the mental-health plan, not a perk.

Watch out: This is a quote-only benefits contract. Lyra AI and Lyra Empower sit on the same brand; confirm whether the SKU you are buying is the clinical network, the manager/empower layer, or both before you compare PEPM to a coaching-only vendor.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that want a self-serve mindfulness subscription
  • Buyers who need a public per-employee price

Spring Health

Stands out: Precision matching is the product: an assessment routes each employee to a specific provider or modality instead of handing them a provider list and hoping they book.

Watch out: This is a PEPM benefits contract, not a self-serve EAP. Medication support and specialty care are in the model, so clinical governance and data-sharing with your health plan belong in the RFP, not as a later add-on surprise.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only want meditation content
  • Buyers who need a public per-employee price

Pros and cons

Lyra Health

  • Therapy and psychiatry as the core benefit, not an upsell
  • Care navigation in front of a clinical network
  • Sold as a workforce benefit with employer reporting
  • Sales-quoted PEPM
  • Public partners page does not name ATS/HRIS products
  • Lyra AI is a separate conversation from the clinical network SKU

Spring Health

  • Assessment-to-provider matching instead of a cold provider list
  • Therapy, coaching, and medication on one benefit
  • Named Workday Wellness partnership
  • Sales-quoted only
  • No public integrations page beyond the Workday partnership
  • Overkill if you only need mindfulness content
