Wellhub from Sales-quoted

Closest alternatives

The short answer

Headspace for Work : Mindfulness, coaching, and therapy if the brief is mental health rather than gym access. From Sales-quoted
Calm Business : Employer meditation and sleep SKU when you want a content app, not a gym network. From Sales-quoted
Reward Gateway : Recognition, discounts, and wellbeing in one engagement platform if gym access is only part of the perk mix. From £6/employee/mo
Vantage Circle : Recognition suite with optional wellness modules when rewards, not fitness inventory, are the centre. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Wellhub

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.

What we noted

Employer contribution is still sales-quoted
Employees pay a monthly plan unless you subsidize it
Not a substitute for clinical therapy

Not the right fit for

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

Worth keeping in mind: 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.

What each one does differently

Headspace for Work

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Mindfulness, coaching, and therapy if the brief is mental health rather than gym access.

Stands out: Employees already know the Headspace brand, so the work SKU is a daily-use meditation layer that can also route into coaching and clinical care instead of a net-new EAP login.

Watch out: This is not the consumer Headspace subscription. The work plan is a quoted employer contract covering EAP, Care, Companion, and Core SKUs. Sword's announced acquisition is a product-direction risk to put in the vendor-stability section of the RFP.

Best for

Employers that want mindfulness content people will actually open
Companies adding coaching and therapy on top of an existing meditation habit
Microsoft 365 shops that will surface sessions in Teams

Calm Business

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Employer meditation and sleep SKU when you want a content app, not a gym network.

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.

Best for

Benefits teams adding a mental-wellness app
Employers that want meditation and sleep, not therapy
Companies already comparing Headspace for Work

Reward Gateway

£6/employee/mo

Why it comes up: Recognition, discounts, and wellbeing in one engagement platform if gym access is only part of the perk mix.

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.

Best for

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

Vantage Circle

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Recognition suite with optional wellness modules when rewards, not fitness inventory, are the centre.

Stands out: Packaging is modular: Grow is recognition plus perks, Transform adds wellness, Scale adds pulse surveys, a multi-purpose wallet, team awarding, and a dedicated account manager.

Watch out: A nominal one-time setup cost applies on all plans. Pricing is based on organization size, products, and integrations. Third-party marketplace figures are not used here.

Best for

Mid-market and enterprise HR that want recognition, perks, wellness, and pulse under one vendor
Global teams that need redemption options and multi-language support on Scale
Companies adding Vantage Fit wellness challenges on Transform
