Virgin Pulse review and pricing

Largest enterprise wellness installed base; post-HealthComp merger.

By Personify Health (Marlin Equity-backed; HealthComp merger Nov 2023) · Founded 2004 · Providence, RI · pe backed

Virgin Pulse is the largest enterprise wellness platform, founded 2004 as Virgin HealthMiles, then operated as Virgin Pulse under the Virgin Group brand license. In November 2023, Virgin Pulse merged with HealthComp under Marlin Equity Partners ownership to form Personify Health, combining wellness with health plan administration and care navigation. Strengths: largest enterprise installed base in category (14M+ members historically), integrated wellness + health navigation post-merger, mature challenges and engagement design, global presence. Best fit for large enterprises wanting bundled wellness + health plan administration in a single Personify Health relationship. Trade-offs: post-merger integration friction with HealthComp, PE pricing pressure pattern, customer reports of degraded support quality during the rebrand, and the Virgin Pulse brand confusion as the company transitions to Personify Health.
