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

Starting price

Modern Health

Sales-quoted

Employer mental-health benefit covering therapy, coaching, and digital care across a global provider network. Pricing is sales-quoted per employee.

Where Modern Health fits

  • Global employers that need one mental-health vendor across countries and languages
  • Benefits teams replacing a low-utilization EAP
  • Companies that want coaching and clinical care on the same member app

Employer therapy benefit. Not the consumer Talkspace plan. Pricing is sales-quoted.

Where they pull apart

Modern Health

Stands out: One Adaptive Care stack that can send someone to a coach, a therapist, a Circle, or a Pathway without a separate EAP login, which is why multi-country benefits teams buy it.

Watch out: This is a quote-only PEPM benefits contract. Session counts, family coverage, and substance-use care are plan terms, not a public seat price, so finance should price the actual utilization band before comparing it to a consumer meditation app.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only want a mindfulness app at consumer-app prices
  • Buyers who need a public self-serve price
  • Companies that will not fund clinical sessions

Talkspace for Business

Stands out: Messaging-first therapy as an employer SKU, which is a different buy from Calm or Headspace content.

Watch out: The consumer Talkspace plan is not this product. Employer access is a quoted benefits contract.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who only want meditation content
  • Teams that need a public per-employee price
  • Anyone trying to expense the consumer app as a company plan

Modern Health

  • No public integrations page listing HRIS connectors

Talkspace for Business

  • Sensible shortlist beside Lyra and Modern Health
  • Quote-only
  • Easy to confuse with the consumer plan
  • Connector list is not published
