Most comparisons of personal training software, online or in-person, repeat each vendor's marketing. This one sticks to what can be checked: published prices, client limits, free plans, trials, and the AI features each pricing page names. We make CoachPilot, so it's listed first and labelled as ours. Where another platform is the better fit, this page says so.

How to choose software for personal trainers

  • The price at your roster size, not the starting price. Most platforms charge by client count, so the number that matters is the plan that fits the clients you have, and the next one up.
  • Add-ons. Nutrition, automation, payments and branded apps are sold separately on several platforms. Add them before you compare.
  • Monthly vs annual. Some pricing pages open on annual billing. Every price here is month-to-month.
  • What happens when you grow. Check where the plan steps are and whether there is a ceiling.

Which personal trainer software fits you?

  • You want to pay nothing while you start. FitPros.io's free plan has no client limit, and QuickCoach's covers 20 clients. CoachPilot's Free plan covers 5 and includes the meal planner.
  • You coach nutrition and training together. Check whether meal plans are in the plan or an add-on. On CoachPilot they are in every plan.
  • Your roster is growing fast. Look for an unlimited plan, or flat pricing, so one more client doesn't change your bill.
  • You run a studio or team. Look at the platforms that publish studio plans; CoachPilot is built for individual online coaches.
  • A branded app is essential. Several platforms above include one or sell it as an add-on; each platform's entry lists what its pricing page says.

Switching to CoachPilot

  • Free migration. On a paid plan, send us your exports from your current platform (or share access) and we move your clients, meal plans and workout programs into CoachPilot within 48 hours.
  • Contract buyout. Still under contract with your current platform? Join a paid plan during founding pricing, send us an invoice showing the time left, and CoachPilot is free for those months, up to 12.
  • No commitment to reserve. CoachPilot opens on Dec 1, 2026. Reserving a spot before then takes no payment and no credit card.
