Why We Picked Calm?

Calm brings its widely recognized meditation and sleep content into the workplace through Calm Business, a subscription benefit built for teams of any size. The solution wraps sleep stories, sleep music, and mindfulness sessions into a self-service portal that HR teams can set up in minutes.

Pros

Content Breadth – The library spans sleep stories, ambient sound, and guided meditations.
Self-Service Setup – Smaller companies can purchase and activate a subscription directly through a partner portal.
Multi-Benefit Value – One subscription covers sleep, stress, and mindfulness, complementing several point solutions.
Flexible Group Sizing – The program is built to scale from small departments up through full enterprise rollouts.

Cons

Navigation Complexity – Finding specific content types can be more difficult, given how much is packed into the app.
Not a Clinical Program – Unlike CBT-I-based solutions, Calm doesn't diagnose or clinically treat insomnia.
Self-Directed Engagement – There's no coaching or accountability layer, so outcomes depend heavily on employee use.
Limited Reporting – Analytics for larger organizations may be less detailed.

Why We Picked Big Health?

Big Health's Sleepio is a clinically validated digital program for insomnia. It's built around cognitive behavioral therapy, the same approach sleep specialists use in person. As such, it is positioned as a health benefit, with billing that can go through pharmacy benefit managers rather than a standalone wellness budget.

Pros

Clinically Validated CBT-I – The program is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.
Uses Existing Benefit Spend – Big Health can bill through pharmacy benefit managers, letting employers add the benefit without carving out separate wellness dollars.
Bundled Options – Daylight (anxiety) and Spark Direct (low mood) sit alongside Sleepio, enabling employers to address more than sleep.
Personalized Program Path – A validated Sleep Test generates an individual score, and the program adapts its content and pacing accordingly.

Cons

Account Access Friction – Employees occasionally experience difficulty logging in or completing account setup without additional verification steps.
Sleep Efficiency Over Duration – The program leans heavily on sleep efficiency scores rather than total hours slept, which can feel dismissive of ongoing fatigue.
Manual Entry – Employees who already track sleep through a wearable may find manual diary entry redundant.
Availability Gaps – Coverage can depend on the specific health plan or employer contract, leaving some employees without access.
