OK Positive supports your mental health through daily mood tracking and personal analytics, helping you identify your mental health triggers and see trends over time. It all happens in conversation with Oaky, your OK Positive agent. You check in, look back over your moods and find what helps by asking, so there are no separate sections to navigate. OK Positive is a tool for businesses to support the mental health of their employees. The app is 100% free for users when your employer signs up through our website. Mood scores and reasons data is provided anonymously to your employer. This feedback helps companies spot issues in the workplace and make positive changes, creating more inclusive and happy workplaces. Many companies would like to do more to support their employees.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OK + at none against Illume's 12. OK + also leads on ads (none vs shown). Illume's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
