Access Development
The platform is super well oriented to provide location-specific perks and discount programs to employees based on their local marketplace. It covers all of the major restaurants/retailers/destinations in a given geographic region (and even nationally). It would be great to see additional offerings in the alternative space - vegan vendors, local vendors, etc. as a counterpoint to the tried and true national brands.

Castlight Health
Castlight Health is best used when you have a wide organization (living all across the US) and you don't have the margin on your small/medium team to look into all the different offerings nationwide. We use them primarily to assist with employee health benefits across our whole organization and it has been a breeze

Alternatives Considered
Access Development
We also evaluated Tickets at Work - both are highly comparable options, but we went with Access Perks given both their incomparable discount network and mobile coupon program. The Access Perks website is also much easier to use, for both administrators and employees, and offers a more compelling discount/perk ratio across the board.

Castlight Health
We have used Asure in the past (direct competition). We have found the friendliness of Castlight Health to be better and the use of the website and benefit options are all better at Castlight Health. I am always open to shop around to find the best option for our company and I feel like we have found that with Castlight Health.
