Intellect vs OpenUp

Intellect provides mental wellbeing care for organisations and individuals through a self-care app, coaching, counselling and employee assistance services. Its self-care tools include wellbeing check-ins, guided journaling, personal insights and CBT-based learning paths. Intellect Coaching connects users with vetted coaches, counsellors and psychologists, with messaging between sessions; Intellect Care offers counselling and therapy. Intellect Holistic addresses physical, nutritional and financial wellbeing through coaching, messaging, webinars, workshops and content. The Helpline provides 24/7 crisis support from trained responders, with appointment booking during an initial call. For employers, the EAP is accessible through the app, desktop, company intranet and MS Teams. The company says members can book on-demand appointments within 24–48 hours and that its provider network spans more than 100 countries and 120+ languages. It describes employee data as encrypted on their devices so employers and Intellect engineers cannot access it, and says self-care content and coach interactions are not disclosed to employers. Pricing is on request, with a 14-day trial noted. The apps are listed for Android and iOS, alongside web access.

OpenUp provides workplace mental well-being support for employees, managers, family members and organisations. It brings together psychologists, lifestyle experts, financial coaches, nutritionists and medical doctors, alongside group sessions and self-guided learning. Employees covered by an employer partnership can book unlimited sessions without approval, with appointments available within 48 hours; coaching is offered in 45 languages. A roughly 10-minute Vitality Check gives users personalised recommendations and employers anonymised organisational insights. OpenUp says managers and HR cannot see who uses the service or what they discuss. Its AI coach helps users reflect and choose next steps, but does not diagnose or provide clinical advice; a human escalation pathway is available at any time for acute distress signals. The service is available on web, Android and iOS. People without employer access can book a free first session, then buy a three-session card for €249, paid once, with 25-minute online sessions. Employer partnership pricing is on request.
