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); Reflektive the reflektive.com domain now redirects to a PeopleFluent product page, so Reflektive is no longer sold as an independent product
  • They diverge on capability: Cooleaf covers Peer recognition, Reflektive covers Continuous feedback.
