    For organisations

    What HR, people and wellbeing leads ask before they buy.

    What does OptiMe do for an organisation?

    It measures and improves wellbeing across six areas of life and work: Mind, Body, Career, Money, Relationships and Surroundings. Pulse runs anonymous check-ins and reports by team and location. Pro adds a private app for every employee. Enterprise adds white label, single sign-on and integrations. See OptiMe for organisations.

    Which plan do we need?

    Pulse if you want insight: where wellbeing is strong and where it's weakest, by team and location. Pro if you want a full programme, with the app, workshops and AI coach for every employee. Enterprise if you need white label, single sign-on, HR system sync or data residency. Compare plans.

    How is it priced?

    Flat bands by organisation size, never per seat, so the price doesn't rise each time you hire. Pulse starts at £39 a month billed annually, or £49 monthly. Pro is priced by size band and Enterprise is scoped with you. Annual billing saves about 20%. Prices exclude VAT. Get the price for your size.

    Can anyone see an individual's answers?

    No. Managers and HR see results only for groups of five or more, and that minimum is enforced in the database, not only in policy. Individual scores, names and free-text answers are never shown. The one exception is an employee who chooses to ask for support and agrees to share their name with you.

    Can we see it before we commit?

    Yes. On a 30-minute call we show the parts that fit your size and goals, then send a written price and a sample report. If you'd like to start with a pilot, we usually suggest Pro, with the HR dashboard to show whether it worked. Book a 30-minute call.

    How does rollout work?

    Four steps, supported by our team: a kickoff to agree success measures and a comms plan; set-up of sign-on, branding and teams; launch with a baseline check-in; and a review of your first dashboard. If you only need Pulse, you can set it up yourself online. Set up Pulse.

    How do employees get access?

    With Pulse, employees just get an email: no app and no account. With Pro, you invite employees by email from the HR console; they follow the link and create their own private account. Enterprise can add single sign-on.

    Can it carry our brand?

    Pulse can use your logo, colours and reply-to email. Pro adds co-branding in the app. Enterprise is fully white label.

    What support do we get?

    Every rollout is supported by our team. After launch, Pulse includes standard support, Pro priority support and Enterprise a dedicated account manager.

    Do you run workshops and training?

    Yes. Expert-led wellbeing workshops, an eight-module Wellbeing Champion programme and bespoke content, delivered at your workplace, online or on demand. See workshops and training.

    Pulse check-ins

    The anonymous email check-in and the report it produces.

    What is Pulse?

    A short, anonymous wellbeing check-in sent by email, covering six areas of life and work. Employees don't need an app or an account. You get a report by team and location, with a score for each area, so you can see where to act first. See Pulse.

    How long does it take, and how often does it run?

    About five minutes, on any device. Most organisations run it quarterly or monthly, or around events such as a restructure or a new policy.

    Can it ask about work, not just wellbeing?

    Yes. Pulse can ask whether people feel trusted, recognised and able to raise concerns, whether they understand how their work contributes, and whether managers can support them through pressure.

    What do employees see afterwards?

    A private results page with suggestions: short workshops, guided audio and self-help resources. If their answers suggest they need more support, they're signposted to Samaritans, Shout, NHS 111 or your own EAP.

    How is Pulse different from the full app?

    Pulse is the measurement layer. Add Pro when you're ready and every employee gets their own plan, workshops, Moments and Lottie, the AI coach. See the employee app.

    Partners and white label

    For businesses that want to offer wellbeing to their own clients.

    What is OptiMe white label?

    A wellbeing platform in your colours for your clients. Choose from OptiMe's content and features, add your own, and we build, host and maintain it. From £500 a month, with no build cost. See white label.

    Who is white label for?

    Businesses with clients: occupational health, MSK and physiotherapy, counselling and EAP providers, insurers and benefits providers, HR and specialist consultancies, and training and coaching businesses.

    What do we provide, and what does OptiMe run?

    You bring your name, logo and colours, your own content, links to your services, and your clients. OptiMe runs the app, hosting, security and updates, plus the content library, check-ins, an AI coach that draws on your content, and anonymous reporting.

    How does a partnership start?

    A 30-minute call about your clients and services. Then you choose your mix of content and features, we brand and build it, and you review it before anyone else sees it. You launch to clients your way.

    Are there other ways to partner?

    Yes. HR consultancies, wellbeing coaches, co-working spaces and recruitment agencies can resell, bundle or co-brand OptiMe without a full white label. See partner programmes.

    For individuals

    Using OptiMe on your own, without an employer.

    Can I use OptiMe on my own?

    Yes. OptiMe works for employees, freelancers, the self-employed and business owners. It doesn't assume you have a manager, colleagues or a nine-to-five. See OptiMe for individuals.

    How much does it cost?

    Start with a 7-day free trial. After that it's £8.99 a month or £79 a year. Cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged.

    How does the free trial work?

    Take the two-minute wellbeing snapshot, then use everything for seven days: workshops, Moments, Daily Focus and Lottie. Choose monthly or annual billing when you're ready, and your scores and progress carry over. Take the free snapshot.

    What's included?

    Your wellbeing snapshot and history, a recommended Focus Pillar, Daily Focus actions, expert-led workshops, Moments of guided audio, unlimited conversations with Lottie, and Momentum Points and streaks.

    Will my employer see my data?

    No. If you subscribe yourself, nothing is shared with an employer. If your employer provides OptiMe, they see only anonymous results for groups of five or more, never your scores or answers.

    Can I cancel at any time?

    Yes. Choose Manage billing on your Profile page. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for, and there are no cancellation fees.

    What is the wellbeing philosophy quiz?

    A free, two-minute quiz that matches you to one of six cultures' ideas of living well, from Danish Hygge to Japanese Ikigai. No account needed. Take the quiz.

    Using the app

    For members finding their way around OptiMe.

    What are the six pillars?

    Mind (mental and emotional wellbeing), Body (physical health and energy), Career (purpose and growth at work), Money (financial confidence), Relationships (connection with others) and Surroundings (your environment and balance).

    How do my snapshot scores work?

    The snapshot gives each pillar a score out of 10 and recommends a Focus Pillar: the area where a little attention is likely to help most. Retake it every four to six weeks, or whenever life changes, to see how your scores move.

    What is Daily Focus?

    A few small, practical actions each day, chosen for your Focus Pillar. Each one takes minutes, so there's always a manageable next step.

    What is Lottie?

    Lottie is OptiMe's AI wellbeing coach, available at any time. In General Coaching mode she answers without using your wellbeing data. In Profile-Specific mode she draws on your snapshot to tailor suggestions and can take you straight to a workshop, Moment or action. Lottie isn't a crisis service: if you need urgent help, call Samaritans on 116 123 or NHS 111.

    What are workshops and Moments?

    Workshops are expert-led video sessions across the six pillars; you can pick up where you left off, and your progress and reflections are saved in My Journey. Moments are short pieces of guided audio, a few minutes long, chosen by how you'd like to feel.

    How do Momentum Points and streaks work?

    You earn Momentum Points for Daily Focus actions, workshops, Moments and reflections. Your streak grows each day you complete at least one of them. Miss a day and the streak starts again, but your scores and history are kept.

    Is there a phone app?

    OptiMe works in any browser on phone, tablet or computer. You can add it to your home screen from your browser so it opens like an app, and your progress syncs across devices.

    Privacy and security

    How we look after personal and organisational data.

    Where is data held, and how is it protected?

    Data is hosted in the UK and EU and encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is role-based, with separate HR, manager and employee views, and every record is scoped to its organisation. Read about security.

    Are you GDPR compliant?

    Yes. We work to UK GDPR, a data-processing agreement is standard for organisations, and we support subject-access requests. Security questionnaires are answered on request, and Enterprise adds a security review pack and uptime terms.

    How do you use personal data?

    Only to provide and improve OptiMe: personalising your recommendations, tracking your progress and improving the coaching. We never sell personal data and never use it for advertising. Read the privacy policy.

    Are my conversations with Lottie private?

    Yes. Your conversations are private to you and are never shared with an employer.

    Can I download or delete my data?

    Yes. From your Profile page you can download a copy of your data at any time, or ask for your account to be deleted. We confirm deletion by email within 48 hours, and it can't be undone.

    Do you use cookies?

    We use essential cookies to make the site work and optional analytics cookies to improve it. You can change your choice at any time. Cookie settings.
