Siffi vs Modern Health — honest comparison
Modern Health is built for enterprises.
Siffi is built for growing teams.
Modern Health is a powerful platform for Fortune 500 companies. But when you’re a 200–2,000 person company, you need faster onboarding, usage-based pricing, and ROI proof within 90 days — not an enterprise procurement cycle. Here’s the full picture.

The real question
Modern Health is great for enterprises.
But do you need enterprise complexity?
Modern Health serves large companies like Pixar, Lyft, and EA. But three structural issues emerge when mid-market and scaling tech companies try to adopt it.
PEPM cost at scale
Modern Health offers PEPM pricing — you pay for every employee, every month, regardless of usage. With typical wellbeing activation rates of 15–25%, most of your budget subsidises employees who never log in. Siffi lets you pay for what you use.
Gap: Paying for unused seatsEnterprise procurement cycle
Modern Health’s enterprise sales process can take months. Security reviews, custom contracts, implementation timelines. Siffi onboards your team in 48 hours with a no-commitment 90-day pilot.
Gap: Months to get startedCoaching-first model
Modern Health routes employees through coaching before they can access a therapist. For employees in distress who want to speak directly to a clinician, this creates an unwanted barrier.
Gap: Indirect therapy accessSide by side

Common questions
Considering Modern Health?
How is Siffi's pricing different from Modern Health's PEPM model?
Modern Health charges a per-employee-per-month fee for every employee on the roster, regardless of how many actually use the platform. Siffi offers usage-based pricing — you pay for what your team actually uses. For a 500-person company with typical 20% activation, this means significant savings while still providing full access to everyone who needs support.
Modern Health has 80+ languages. Does Siffi match that coverage?
Modern Health has an extensive global network. Siffi covers 40+ languages with 150+ native-speaking providers, with particular strength in European, Baltic, Nordic, and APAC languages. The key difference is not just coverage breadth — it is measurable outcomes: 45.6% activation in 14 days and 6.2× ROI at Entain. If your team is primarily European with some APAC presence, Siffi’s network may be a better cultural and linguistic fit.
Why does direct therapy access matter vs coaching-first?
Modern Health’s stepped-care model routes employees through coaching before therapy access. While this works well for prevention and general wellbeing, employees in acute distress may feel frustrated by the extra step. Siffi gives employees direct access to their preferred modality — therapy, coaching, or self-guided tools — from day one. The employee chooses their path.
Can we pilot Siffi while evaluating Modern Health?
Absolutely. Many organisations run Siffi as a 90-day pilot alongside their evaluation of other providers. Since Siffi onboards in 48 hours, you can have real activation and ROI data within 90 days — often before an enterprise vendor has completed their procurement process. Use the data to make an informed decision.
