Why coaches look for a Kahunas alternative

Kahunas costs $6912345 a month at 20 clients and $6912345 a month at 50 clients, counting the plan and what it charges for meal plans, automation, taking payments and AI. What its own pages say a coach gives up:

  • Automations are on the Growth and Ultimate plans only.24
  • A branded app must carry at least one Apple in-app purchase, on which Apple takes 30%.6
  • The help center says there is currently no way to import a client's previous data.7

CoachVana vs Kahunas, line by line

The 7 alternatives at a glance

What a coach pays a month, billed monthly: the plan plus meal plans, automation, taking payments and AI, before card processing. Each comparison page lists every line and its source.

  1. CoachVanaOurs

    At 20 clients
    $69
    At 50 clients
    $100.99

    Best for: Coaches who want programs, nutrition with meal plans, check-ins, automations and payments with 0% commission in one price, with the first 3 clients free.

    The trade-off: The client phone app is on Google Play for Android phones so far, so clients without it use a free account on the web. Video calls run in Google Meet or your own room, not inside CoachVana.

CoachVana pricing, every level

Also compared, and left off this list because it costs more at 20 clients: CoachVana vs Trainerize.

How this list was made

Every price comes from the vendor's own pricing and help pages, read on the date each comparison page shows, and every total adds the same things: the plan, then meal plans, automation, taking payments and AI. Card processing is left out because it depends on what your clients pay; each comparison page sets it out.

"Best for" and the trade-off restate what those pages say, with the source beside each. Nothing here is a review quote. Prices change, so check the vendor's page before you decide, and tell us if something is out of date.
