What a corporate wellness programme costs per person
A corporate wellness programme is usually priced per head, and what it costs depends on which heads are counted: everyone on the payroll, only the people who enrol, or each session someone attends. TriageFit charges per funded seat, one full coaching membership for one person for a year, at €500 a seat in the smallest packs down to €375 in the largest, with VAT included.

Two quotes for a corporate wellness programme can carry the same per-head figure and cost a company very different amounts, because that figure might be charged on every employee, on the people who sign up, or on each session somebody books. Comparing the cost of one programme with another means finding out which of those a quote is counting, what a person receives for the money, and how much of the company's own time the programme will take.
How providers price a programme
Most programmes a company is quoted for use one of four models.
- Per employee. A monthly or yearly fee for everyone on the payroll. The bill is known in advance, and it includes everyone who never opens the app.
- Per participant. A fee for each person who enrols, so the bill rises and falls with uptake, and many contracts add a minimum number of participants.
- Pay as used. A price for each class, session, visit or health check. The company pays only for what happens, and next year's spend is hard to predict.
- Per funded seat. A set number of places bought for a term, each held by one named person. TriageFit is sold this way.
| How it is priced | What the bill follows | When the year's spend is known |
|---|---|---|
| Per employee | The whole headcount | At signing, adjusted for headcount |
| Per participant | The number who enrol | As people sign up |
| Pay as used | Sessions, classes and visits | At the end of the year |
| Per funded seat | The seats the company buys | At purchase, plus any seats added |
What pushes the price up
Time with a person costs more than software. A programme that includes live one-to-one sessions, a named adviser or visits to the office is paying for hours, and the price per head rises with every hour it promises. Delivery on the premises adds travel and room bookings, and health checks or screenings add staff with clinical training.
The contract moves the price as much as the content does. Minimum terms, minimum headcounts, set-up and launch fees, account management and custom reporting can each appear as a line of their own, and a low per-head price tied to a long minimum term can cost more over the contract than a higher one that renews each year.
Costs that stay off the quote
Someone inside the company has to launch the programme, answer questions about it and keep it in front of people, and that time comes out of HR's week. Procurement and data-protection review take time as well, and they move faster when the documents are public. TriageFit publishes its corporate terms, its data processing agreement and its sub-processor list in full, and the procurement checklist lists what to ask any provider.
The cost easiest to miss is low uptake. A fee charged across the whole headcount is money spent on everyone who never starts, and the per-head price says nothing about how many people that will be. VAT is the other line to check, since a price quoted before VAT reads cheaper than one with VAT included.
What TriageFit costs
TriageFit is bought as a pack of seats for twelve months, and the price per seat falls as the pack grows: €500 a seat for 10 to 24 seats, €450 a seat for 25 to 49 seats, €415 a seat for 50 to 99 seats and €375 for 100 or more, with VAT included. The whole pack takes the band its size lands in, so 25 seats cost €450 each and €11,250 for the year, and the smallest pack, 10 seats, comes to €5,000. Packs can also be priced in sterling or US dollars, each currency with its own prices at the same bands.
A pack bought online is paid for the full year at checkout, by card, or by SEPA direct debit when it is billed in euro, and the invoice shows the Irish VAT as its own line. A company established outside Ireland whose purchase is reverse-charged, or falls outside Irish VAT, can have the invoice reissued without the Irish VAT and that part refunded, by saying so at checkout or within 30 days of the invoice and giving the VAT identification number it relies on.
Seats added during the year are invoiced straight away for the rest of the term, pro rata, and because the bands apply to the whole pack, a pack that grows into a lower band pays that band for every seat from that invoice on. The pack renews every twelve months, and about 30 days before each renewal the billing contact gets an email with the date and the seat count. A pack that renews without a break stays on the price ladder it started on, any change to its price is announced at least 30 days before the renewal date, and the price of a term already paid never changes.
What the price includes
Every seat is the full TriageFit membership for one person. It starts with an intake of about thirty minutes, and the programme built from it runs in phases our coaches designed, drawing on a library of 382 exercises, with a calorie target matched to the person's metabolism and macros that adjust each week, recovery tracking, and an AI coach that answers at any hour and proposes changes the person confirms. Once a week the person checks in, a coaching message comes back within seconds, and a real coach reads the same check-in.
The company's side is in the price too. Organisation admins manage the roster from a portal, and a report of group figures, such as how many people finished the intake and how many were active in the past month, is built fresh each time it is opened, with anything below five people held back. There is no charge per session and no app store download, since TriageFit runs in the browser on a phone or a laptop and can be added to the home screen.
Working out what a team needs
Say a company of ninety people expects somewhere between twenty and thirty of them to want a seat. It buys 25, which puts every seat at €450 and the pack at €11,250 for the year, sends the invitations and tells staff in its own announcement that a seat is optional and that the company sees only the roster and group figures. By spring a few more people have asked for one, so an admin adds seats from the portal and the new seats are billed for the months left in the term. At renewal the company can keep the same number, add more or step down, as long as the pack stays at 10 seats or more and no smaller than the seats in use or held by open invitations.
How to start
The calculator on the business page prices a pack in any of the three currencies without an account. Packs of up to 50 seats are bought online, and for a larger team the enquiry form brings a reply by email from a real person with a quote, volume pricing and the rollout steps. Corporate wellness programmes sets out what each person gets and how a pack runs, and a wellness programme for a small business looks at the smallest packs.
Questions people ask
- How much does a corporate wellness programme cost per employee?
- It depends on how the provider counts. A fee on every employee spreads the cost across people who never take part, while a fee per participant or per session follows uptake. TriageFit charges for the seats a company chooses to fund, between €375 and €500 a person for the year with VAT included, depending on the size of the pack.
- Is VAT included in the seat price?
- Yes. Every seat price includes VAT, and the invoice shows the Irish VAT as its own line, with any VAT identification number given at checkout printed on it. A company outside Ireland whose purchase is reverse-charged can have the invoice reissued without the Irish VAT and that element refunded.
- What is the smallest pack we can buy?
- The smallest pack is 10 seats, which come to €5,000 for the year with VAT included. Packs of up to 50 seats can be bought online, by card or by SEPA direct debit when billed in euro, and a larger team uses the enquiry form on the business page.
- Do we pay for seats nobody uses?
- You pay for the seats in the pack. A seat nobody holds stays in the pack for anyone you invite later, and an invitation left unused for seven days expires and releases its seat. At renewal the pack can shrink, to no fewer than 10 seats and no fewer than the seats in use or held by open invitations, with no credit for the year already paid.
