Siffi vs nilo — honest comparison
nilo charges you per head.
Siffi charges for what you use.
Both platforms offer multilingual therapy and coaching. But when your CFO asks why you’re paying for 500 employees when only 80 use the platform — the pricing model matters. Here’s the full picture.
Trusted by growing companies
The real question
nilo is solid for German-speaking teams.
But at scale, the model breaks.
nilo offers good clinical quality with a strong European footprint. But three structural gaps emerge as your company grows beyond 200 employees.
PEPM pricing trap
nilo charges per employee per month regardless of usage. With typical wellbeing platform activation rates of 15–25%, you’re paying for 75% of employees who never log in. With Siffi, you pay for what you use.
Gap: Paying for unused seatsNo ROI methodology
nilo offers an HR dashboard with anonymised wellbeing data. But there is no proprietary ROI framework, no SEIC methodology, and no way to present a quantified business case to your CFO or board.
Gap: No measurable ROILimited HRIS integrations
nilo provides a standalone HR dashboard but lacks deep integrations with the HRIS tools your People team already uses. Siffi connects to 30+ HRIS platforms out of the box.
Gap: Manual HR workflowsSide by side

Common questions
Switching from nilo?
How is Siffi's pricing different from nilo's PEPM model?
nilo charges a fixed per-employee-per-month fee regardless of how many employees 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 can mean significant savings while still providing full access to everyone.
I'm under annual contract with nilo. Can I still pilot Siffi?
Yes. Many organisations run Siffi as a parallel pilot alongside their existing provider. There is no technical overlap — employees get access to both platforms, and you compare activation and engagement data after 90 days. When your nilo contract ends, you have hard data to make the right decision.
nilo has 500+ psychologists in 50+ languages. How does Siffi compare?
Both platforms have strong multilingual networks. Siffi offers 150+ providers across 40+ languages, with particular strength in Baltic, Nordic, and APAC languages. The key differentiator is not just the number of providers — it is the measurable outcomes: 45.6% activation in 14 days, 98.8% positive change, and 6.2× ROI at Entain.
What is SEIC ROI methodology and why does it matter?
SEIC stands for Siffi Employee Impact Calculator. It uses your actual activation, engagement, and outcome data to calculate the financial return on your wellbeing investment. This gives you a board-ready business case — not generic industry benchmarks, but your real numbers. nilo offers wellbeing metrics but no comparable financial ROI framework.
What happens after the 90-day pilot?
You receive a comprehensive ROI report with your actual data. If you choose to continue, we agree on annual terms. If not, there is no obligation — you keep the report and the insights. No hard sell, no pressure.
