Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Lyra Health
- Covered sessions per member per year are set in the employer contract and vary widely between clients, so employees at two companies both using Lyra can receive very different benefits and the number is never published.
- When a member exhausts the employer funded session allowance, care transitions to the health plan network with its deductibles and copayments, or ends, and this handover is the most common source of employee dissatisfaction with the benefit.
- The per employee per month fee is charged across the whole eligible population regardless of use, so an employer with low utilisation pays for the entire workforce to serve a small fraction of it.
- Lyra costs materially more than a traditional employee assistance programme, and the business case depends on utilisation rising enough to justify the difference, which is not guaranteed by the contract.
- International coverage is real but uneven, and a multinational will find provider depth and language availability in secondary markets well below what is available in the United States, which undermines the single global standard the contract implies.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Lyra Health: How is Lyra priced?
Per employee per month across the eligible population, billed to the employer. The rate is quoted, never published, and depends on headcount, dependant eligibility and the contracted session allowance.
WebPT: How much does WebPT cost?
WebPT pricing is customized based on your selected plan (Starter, Enhanced, or Ultimate) and any customizations your practice needs. Organizations must book a demo or contact sales to receive personalized pricing.
SourceLyra Health: How many therapy sessions do employees get?
It depends entirely on what the employer bought. Session allowances vary widely between clients, so ask your benefits team for the contracted number rather than assuming a standard.
WebPT: What are the three WebPT pricing tiers?
WebPT offers Starter for small cash-pay practices, Enhanced for growing practices that accept insurance and need billing, and Ultimate for larger practices requiring customization and advanced reporting.
SourceLyra Health: Who pays, the employer or the health plan?
The employer pays the per employee per month fee and funds the covered sessions. After the allowance is exhausted, cost typically shifts to the health plan and the member.
Lyra Health: Is there a minimum headcount?
Lyra does not publish one, but it sells primarily to mid sized and large employers and the commercial model does not suit small companies.
