  • Small business plans carry a minimum spend of $3,000 a year, so a small team pays that floor whatever its headcount
  • Sold as eleven separate modules, so recognition, wellness, surveys and rewards are each priced on top of the platform

TINYpulse

  • TINYpulse has joined WebMD Health Services, per the vendor: "TINYpulse has officially joined forces with WebMD Health Services", and its own pricing page now redirects to a WebMD Health Services page
