The short version

  • Only Instapage has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cooleaf cooleaf's archived 2013 employer pricing (under its original wellness-marketplace business model, before its pivot to employee engagement) shows tiered per-employee-count fees rather than flat per-seat pricing: the mid Healthy Partnership tier had a $1,000 setup fee and monthly fees ranging from $150 for 1-100 employees up to $250 for 201-500 employees, with 500+ employees requiring a custom quote (archived pricing page, 31 August 2013); Instapage create tier limited to 15,000 monthly unique visitors; scaling requires upgrading to Optimize tier
