Spring measures the care it delivers. October measures the change across the org.
Spring Health is precise: measurement-based care, a strong clinical network and fast access through Care Navigation. October Health is the layer above that — clinically effective care the whole workforce uses, prioritised intelligence that tells leaders what to act on next, and embedded experts who execute the change. Spring optimises the individual care journey. October optimises the organisation, with outcomes finance can see.
Measurement-based care with fast access. Spring's Care Navigation gets self-referrers to the right provider quickly, and its outcome tracking per member is genuinely rigorous.
It's still a per-engagement clinical benefit built around the people who raise a hand, and it's US-centric. There's no embedded execution layer driving org-wide change beyond the individual.
Software plus embedded experts across the entire organisation — 65% utilisation, prioritised insight on what to act on, and people who execute the change. Clinical care and org-change in one measurable system, globally.

A pilot that proved out scaled enterprise-wide to nearly 6,000 clinically effective engagements a month — reach a navigate-to-care model rarely sees.
US enterprises that want rigorous, measurement-based clinical care and already have the people-ops capacity to act on member-level data themselves.
Leaders who want measured care AND org-wide change in one system — high utilisation, prioritised insight, and experts who drive measurable outcomes across every team, anywhere.
Questions, answered.
Is October Health an alternative to Spring Health?+
Yes. Both deliver clinically effective, measurable mental-health support. The difference is scope: Spring is measurement-based care for members who navigate in, while October pairs that care with org-wide intelligence and embedded experts who drive measurable change across the whole workforce — typically at far higher utilisation.
How does utilisation compare?+
Spring's Care Navigation gets self-referrers into care quickly, but it remains a benefit the minority reach for. October sees around 65% utilisation — roughly 10× a traditional EAP — because the platform is built for everyday use across every team, not just for people seeking treatment.
Spring is known for measurement — how is October different?+
Spring measures the care it delivers to individuals, which is rigorous. October measures the organisation: prioritised insight on what's driving burnout, flight risk and eNPS, plus embedded experts who execute the change. You get clinical outcomes and measurable org-wide outcomes in one system.
What about pricing?+
Spring typically charges a per-employee fee plus cost per engagement, which can be hard to forecast at scale. October uses predictable platform pricing and gives you a costed ROI up front, so finance can model the return before you commit.
We operate outside the US — does that matter?+
It can. Spring's network and model are strongest in the US. October runs globally, with clinically effective care, embedded experts and measurable outcomes across multinational and emerging-market workforces.
