OpenUp review
A broad employee wellbeing platform combining live support, self-guided content and HR insights.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenUp is an employee mental well-being platform for organisations, employees, managers and their families. Its offering combines online 1:1 sessions with psychologists and coaches, interactive group sessions, masterclasses, mindfulness practice, self-guided courses, articles, check-ins and well-being content. Employees can access the service through the web, iOS or Android, while HR teams receive anonymised usage and engagement insights. Leadership coaching adds a management-focused element, making OpenUp a fit for employers seeking group wellbeing alongside individual support.
Pricing follows a contact-sales model. Organisations request a tailored quote rather than selecting standard public plan tiers. That approach may suit employers wanting a package shaped around their organisation, but buyers should expect a sales-led purchasing process. The product’s breadth is its main distinction: it covers live psychologist and coaching sessions, group learning, mindfulness, self-guided material, vitality scans and leadership coaching in one service. AI-powered content search supports navigation across the learning content.
OpenUp also keeps a clear preventative focus. Its service is not presented as a replacement for clinical diagnosis or treatment, so employers seeking a clinical care platform should assess alternatives designed for that purpose. For teams focused on early support, employee participation and manager development, the combination of live sessions, group programming and aggregate reporting is well aligned. Buyers should also examine how OpenUp fits their existing software environment during the sales process, particularly if integrations are central to their rollout.
