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

Unmind

Stands out: A work mental-health product built for UK/EU employers, not a US consumer-app SKU with a business tab.

Watch out: Quote-only. This is not Calm, and it is not a US therapy network like Lyra.

Not the right fit for

  • US employers that need Lyra-style clinical networks
  • Buyers who want a public per-employee price
  • Teams that only need a meditation app

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

Unmind

  • UK/EU-shaped employer mental-health platform
  • Digital tools rather than a US consumer-app wrapper
  • Clear alternative to Calm/Headspace on European benefits briefs
  • Quote-only, with no published rate card
  • Not a US clinical network
  • Connector list is not published
