Comparison Guide
Five products, four different jobs. No winner named, because the right one depends on the job your department is hiring it for.
“Check-in app” covers at least four different purchases in college athletics. Onrise is a care network that puts clinicians, peer support, and 24/7 crisis care behind your athletes. Teamworks is an operations platform your department may already run, where staff build their own surveys and questionnaires. My Edge and Nebbi are daily check-in apps that give athletes a short routine and give staff a program-level view. Daylogue is a private record that lets each athlete see, over weeks, what tends to surround their own hard days. Each is built for its own job, and a product built for one will fall short at the others.
We make one of these. Read the Daylogue section as the interested party, and read the limits inside it as the correction.
Every sentence about another vendor below was checked against that vendor’s own product pages, help center, legal pages, or store listings on September 26, 2026. Where a page does not state something plainly, it is left out rather than guessed at. Customer names, athlete counts, outcome figures, and ratings belong to the vendors who published them and are not repeated here. Nothing was tested inside a live account.
How small a group will a staff view show? A position group of six, a relay squad of four, or a roster split by class year can make an aggregate view easy to trace back to one person. The number that lowers that risk is the first thing to compare in this category.
None of the official Onrise, Teamworks, My Edge, or Nebbi pages we reviewed on September 26, 2026 states a minimum group size for what staff see. That is a statement about those pages, not proof that no rule exists. A rule may live in the product, in a contract, or in a document we did not read. Ask each vendor for the number, whether anyone can lower it, and what a view shows below it, and get the answer in writing before the season starts.
Daylogue publishes its thresholds, and the Daylogue section below says what they do and do not promise.

Onrise describes itself as “a trusted national network of athlete-specific peer support, licensed clinicians, psychiatrists, nutrition professionals, and 24/7 crisis care,” and says plainly that it “isn’t another app.” An athlete signs up through a short registration, is matched right away with a former athlete as a peer, and hears first by text. From there the athlete can work with the peer first or ask directly for therapy or psychiatry, with sessions by telehealth, and Onrise’s FAQ says no referral is needed. When Onrise uses the word check-in, it means a peer contact between clinical appointments, not a daily routine an athlete does alone. It belongs on this page because a department shopping for a check-in app is sometimes shopping for care.
On staff access, the FAQ says coaches and athletic staff have no access to an athlete’s sessions or personal information, and it names the exception: an immediate risk of harm to the athlete or others. Onrise describes a 24/7 crisis line staffed by counselors trained in suicide prevention, trauma response, and acute psychiatric stabilization, says it loops in athletic trainers, coaches, or administrators as appropriate, and tells staff to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room when an athlete is in immediate danger. It also describes a Coach & Staff Guidance Line that gives staff direct access to clinicians for confidential consultation, training, and support. The department side gets what Onrise calls a built-in reporting dashboard for utilization, clinical improvements, and ROI.
Onrise publishes no price. Its pricing page offers a proposal tailored to roster size, coverage needs, and budget, and its FAQ says pricing is per athlete and that athletes pay nothing. Its privacy policy says its peer specialists are not licensed clinicians and do not provide psychotherapy, diagnosis, or emergency services, and that clinical care comes from an affiliated professional entity or other medical providers. The same policy says Onrise does not sell personal information for monetary consideration, and that it may disclose aggregated or de-identified information to clients, business partners, advertisers, investors, potential buyers, and other third parties. Those two sentences belong together, and so does the question they raise: what de-identified data from your program could be shared, and with whom.

Teamworks is a suite, not a check-in app, and the part that matters here depends on which product your department runs. Inside Teamworks Hub, Pulse lets admins build and send anonymous surveys to athletes. Teamworks names wellness check-ins and mental health and wellbeing checks among the uses, suggests pulse checks weekly or monthly, and says results can be filtered by team, role, season, or time period. A survey arrives as a task with a push notification in the Teamworks app athletes already use, so there is no new login, and staff manage it from a web browser. The help center says responses are never tied to individual users and that Pulse never reveals which user gave which answer. The questions are the ones your staff write. Teamworks’ Pulse post also says when not to use Pulse, drawing its own line between anonymous surveys and forms about one person: “If you need to take action with a specific person, choose Quick Forms.” That sentence is worth copying into your own launch message, whichever product you buy.
Teamworks AMS is the other side: configurable wellness and readiness questionnaires that can pull in wearable data, permissions-based views, and staff monitoring of player and squad wellness with alerts and flags.
The platform case is strong. Teamworks describes single sign-on across its products, a Hub API for sharing profile and calendar data with other systems, more than 100 integrations with wearables and performance tech, and apps on iPhone and Android, and it states that it maintains ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II attestation. It publishes no price; its product pages end in a demo request. What the pages we reviewed do not describe is a minimum cohort size for Pulse results, or what happens when an answer suggests someone may be at risk, and they describe no counseling service. Cohorts can be whole teams or athletes selected by name, so ask what the smallest cohort that can receive a survey and see its results is, which result views put one respondent’s answers together even without a name, and how a serious anonymous answer reaches a person.
Choose it if
My Edge is a daily athlete check-in with a program-level view for staff. It calls itself “a human capacity platform that tracks the mental and physical patterns shaping how your athletes respond to stress and challenge.” Athletes answer short daily check-ins about how they are doing, their energy, and their readiness, which My Edge says take under two minutes, and the platform “reads patterns across signals over a season, not single days.” An AI coach surfaces those patterns and asks reflective questions. My Edge says the AI never prescribes behavior and never diagnoses, and that athlete data is not used to train outside AI models. One design choice stands out: when the signals point toward depletion rather than growth, My Edge says it holds challenges back.
On staff access, My Edge says coaches and athletic directors see program-level insight without ever seeing an individual athlete’s private entries, and that it does not report to coaches behind an athlete’s back. Its privacy policy is candid about automated safety screening. Athlete content is screened for terms indicating risk of self-harm. A parent or guardian on the account is notified of a safety alert until the athlete turns 18, and a sponsoring school or team is told that an alert was triggered but not what triggered it. The policy says the screening is not a clinical assessment, a diagnosis, or a crisis-response service, and that it will miss content and sometimes flag content that does not indicate risk. Speech is converted to text on the device, and My Edge says it does not sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising. It is designed for ages 14 to 23, and a parent or guardian manages the account for athletes under 18.
My Edge says it is not a clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic tool and not a substitute for mental health services. It publishes no price; its calls to action for programs are to schedule a call. Its terms describe a mobile application, but we found no public App Store or Google Play listing on the capture date. The pages we reviewed do not state a minimum group size for the program view, and do not describe what an athlete sees when content is flagged. Ask for both, and ask which devices your athletes will need.

Nebbi describes itself as a two-minute daily check-in. An athlete chooses a primary emotion, an underlying emotion, and its intensity, gets three short tasks matched to the feeling, and then answers a quick check after each one: did it help. There are no streaks to keep, and its FAQ says a missed day “isn’t a setback, it’s just a day.” Nebbi says it is not therapy and is designed to sit alongside professional care, not instead of it. For an athlete who wants something small to do right now, that loop is the point.
Nebbi partners with athletic departments, universities, and workplaces. It describes a dashboard that shows “the aggregate picture: check-in trends, program health, where the group is heading,” reporting with no access to individual check-ins, and the promise “No individual data, ever.” Its homepage puts it as coaches seeing the weather of the group without ever reading anyone’s private answers. Its support resources page says plainly that Nebbi is not a crisis line and does not monitor entries, and lists 911, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and other crisis resources.
Nebbi is on iPhone and Android. Individual plans are published at $13.99 a month or $99 a year after a three-day free trial; organization pricing is not, and the teams page invites you to ask about a pilot. The pages we reviewed do not state a minimum group size for the dashboard, so that is the first thing to ask.
Choose it if
Daylogue is a system for self-understanding. An athlete checks in privately, by voice or text, across training, competition, and rest, and over weeks Daylogue reads your life back to you. It takes in what you write, what you say, what your week looks like, and what your body’s doing, and shows what tends to surround the hard days, so an athlete can see the why for themselves. For one athlete that might be stress running higher on the nights they logged under six hours, taken from the check-in itself rather than a wearable. That personal record is the product. The department is downstream of it.
Daylogue does not infer emotion from faces, voice tone, or physiology. It works from the words and context people choose to share. Imported health records may be used as factual context but not as emotion labels.
Your coach sees what’s affecting the team, never what you wrote.
Coach views show team-level themes and trends, and only once enough athletes take part: five for most views, ten for averages and smaller slices, and more if your program sets a higher floor. Thresholds reduce reidentification risk; they do not make it impossible.
Coach views never include your entries or your voice transcripts, and new sports programs start with individual score sharing off.
A program’s settings can raise a floor, never lower it.
Self-serve team setup is for workplace staff, so athletic departments and schools start with a program license. One license covers the whole department or school, from a single team of five up, on a custom quote, and it starts with a 30-day pilot. It includes everything in Business across the whole department, coach and staff views of team themes and trends, and a weekly leader digest for coaches and staff, with the same privacy thresholds as every team plan and individual score sharing starting off. No price is published. The same thresholds also mean a single small roster may see little or nothing, which is the honest answer to the question at the top of this page.
The limits, in the order they are most likely to matter. Daylogue is a system for self-understanding, not therapy, a coaching service, or an HR tool, and it is not a replacement for qualified professional care. It is not a crisis line or a care service and has no clinicians, so it does not do the job Onrise describes. It is not an operations platform and does not do the job Teamworks describes. It does not hand an athlete a quick task after every check-in, so an athlete who wants a reset in the next two minutes may be better served by a tool built for that. A personal read needs weeks of check-ins before it is worth much, and a coach view needs enough athletes taking part before it shows anything.
Daylogue is currently available as a native iPhone app and on the web.

The honest take
If the gap is care, buy care, and get in writing what the department receives and who is told in a crisis. If your department already runs Teamworks, find out what Pulse and AMS can do before you add another login. If you want a daily routine with a view for staff, compare My Edge and Nebbi on the smallest-group question first, then on what your athletes will still be doing in week eight. If the gap is athletes understanding their own weeks, that is the gap we work in. These jobs can sit side by side; a department can run a care network and a check-in at the same time.
None of the software on this page replaces talking to a person. If the gap is care, Onrise is built to put a person on the other end of it. Daylogue is not therapy and is not a replacement for professional care.
Every claim about Onrise, Teamworks, My Edge, and Nebbi on this page was checked against the official pages below on September 26, 2026. Claims are limited to what those pages state plainly. Product details, access rules, and prices change without notice. Next scheduled recheck: October 26, 2026.
There is no single answer, and this page does not name a winner. The products that show up for this search do four different jobs. Onrise is a care network with peer support, therapy, psychiatry, and a 24/7 crisis line. Teamworks is an operations platform your department may already run, where staff build anonymous surveys in Pulse or wellness and readiness questionnaires in AMS. My Edge and Nebbi are daily athlete check-ins with a program-level view for staff. Daylogue is a private record an athlete keeps by voice or text and reads back over weeks. Decide which job you are hiring for before comparing feature lists.
Not on the official pages we reviewed. The Onrise, Teamworks, My Edge, and Nebbi pages we read on September 26, 2026 do not state a minimum group size, anonymity threshold, or suppression rule for staff views. That is a statement about those pages, not proof that no rule exists; a rule may live in the product or a contract. Ask each vendor for the number, whether anyone can lower it, and what a view shows below it, and get the answer in writing. Daylogue’s enterprise privacy page states that participation and theme views generally require at least five eligible contributors, that averages and narrower intersections generally require ten, and that some protected settings require fifteen or a higher configured floor. These controls reduce reidentification risk but do not make it impossible.
Onrise is the one whose pages describe clinical care: licensed clinicians, psychiatry, peer support from former athletes, and a round-the-clock crisis line, with a direction to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room when an athlete is in immediate danger. Teamworks is software your staff run, and the pages we reviewed describe no counseling service and no process for a survey answer that suggests someone may be at risk, so ask how a serious anonymous answer would reach a person. My Edge describes automated screening of athlete content for self-harm terms. A parent or guardian on the account is notified until the athlete turns 18, and a sponsoring organization is told that an alert fired but not what triggered it. My Edge says the screening is not a crisis-response service and will miss content. Nebbi says it is not a crisis line and does not monitor entries, and lists crisis resources including 988. Daylogue is not a crisis line or a care service. Every program needs its own care and crisis resources, and the launch message should say where they are.
None publishes a price for an athletic department. Onrise offers a proposal by roster size and says pricing is per athlete and free to athletes. Teamworks product pages end in a demo request. My Edge asks you to schedule a call. Nebbi publishes prices for individual plans, and no organization price. Daylogue does not publish a price for athletic departments either. Prices and terms change without notice, so ask each vendor in writing.
Seven questions. What is the smallest group a staff view will show, and can anyone lower it? Can staff see who checked in, separately from what anyone said? What happens when an athlete writes or says something serious, and who is told? Does any view put one athlete’s answers together, even without a name? What does the athlete see in week eight? What can the vendor do with de-identified data, and how long is data kept? And what does the vendor publish about price, pilots, and the devices athletes need? A vendor that answers on its own documentation is easier to hold to a promise than one that answers in a sales call.
Alongside them, usually, not instead of them. A care network is where an athlete goes for therapy or crisis support. An operations platform is where staff run schedules and surveys. Daylogue is where an athlete keeps a private record, by voice or text, and sees over weeks what tends to surround their hard days, like stress running higher on the nights they logged under six hours. Daylogue is a system for self-understanding, not therapy, a coaching service, or an HR tool, and it is not a replacement for qualified professional care.
One license across the department, a 30-day pilot, and the same privacy thresholds as every team plan.
