Virgin Pulse vs MoveZenGo

Choosing the right workplace wellbeing platform isn’t always easy, especially with so many options available. Some platforms are designed to do a little bit of everything across health, benefits, and engagement. Others are built to do one thing especially well.

In this comparison, we look at Personify Health, previously known as Virgin Pulse. Below, we’ll consider the similarities and differences between MoveZenGo and Virgin Pulse (now Personify Health) to help you choose the best solution for your needs.

Pricing comparison

Transparent pricing is crucial for organizations managing wellness budgets and planning quarterly or annual initiatives. Here’s how the two platforms compare on cost and clarity:

Pricing based on one-year subscription for 250 participants$4,500/year, includes unlimited number of challengesUnclear, $4,600/year minimum

Why it matters

MoveZenGo makes it easy to launch and scale workplace wellbeing programs. Whether you’re running a one-time challenge, seasonal campaign, or year-round initiative, our flexible platform and pricing options help organizations of all sizes, from teams of 10 to 10,000 employees.

By contrast, Personify Health (formerly Virgin Pulse) is built for large-scale, long-term health and wellbeing initiatives. While it works well for organizations seeking a comprehensive enterprise solution from the start, it may be less flexible for those looking to launch multiple and/or simultaneous challenges or test new initiatives.

Feature comparison

Both platforms offer a strong suite of corporate wellness tools, but MoveZenGo’s focus on customization, integrations, and visual engagement setup efficiency and co-branding opportunity gives it an edge.
