Head to head

Reward Gateway vs Wellhub

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

Reward Gateway

£6/employee/mo

Reward Gateway (Edenred) is an employee engagement platform for recognition, rewards, discounts, and wellbeing. No USD rate card. UK small-business plans start at 6 pounds per employee per month on annual subscription billed monthly, or 8 pounds on month-to-month.

Where Reward Gateway fits

  • UK SMBs under 100 employees that want discounts plus recognition at 6 pounds per employee per month
  • People teams that will add the 1 pound EAP
  • Employers that want a branded SmartHub for perks, not only peer kudos
  • Companies already in Edenred's benefits network

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

Reward Gateway

Stands out: The UK SMB SKU bundles discounts from 900-plus retailers, a reward and recognition suite, a wellbeing centre, 24/7 support, and the SmartSpending mobile app. An employee assistance programme is an optional plus-1 pound add-on.

Watch out: The printed pounds price is for organisations under 100 employees in the UK. More than 100 employees, or US and multi-country programmes, go to a tailored Edenred quote. Annual is a one-year subscription even though it is billed monthly.

Not the right fit for

  • US buyers who need a dollar PEPM before a call
  • Global enterprises that need a multi-country quote rather than the UK SMB card

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
