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.
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.

Hevy Coach lists no nutrition and meal plans, automation, taking payments or AI tools, so its total has nothing for them.
Best for: Coaches who only need programming, tracking and chat, with clients training in the Hevy app, from $25 a month.46
The trade-off: No nutrition tracking, meal plans, client payments, booking or automations are listed at any price.45

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 Prices change, so check the vendor's page before you decide, and tell us if something is out of date.
