The short version

  • 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); Lattice a $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • They diverge on capability: Cooleaf covers Peer recognition, Lattice covers Performance reviews.

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)

Lattice

  • A $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • Billing is annual only
  • The platform is sold as three separate base products at $10, $8 and $4 per seat per month, so a full deployment stacks rather than being one price
  • Compensation and Grow are further add ons at $6 and $4 per seat per month on top
