Coaches usually start looking for a Kahunas alternative for one of three reasons: their roster is about to cross a pricing step, they want to try a platform without a trial clock running, or they want more help building meal plans and programs. This page sticks to what can be checked. Every Kahunas number below comes from Kahunas' pricing page, and CoachPilot's prices are loaded live for your country.
The short answer
On Kahunas, Essentials is $35 for up to 25 clients, Growth is $69 for up to 50 clients, and Ultimate is $99 for unlimited clients, paying monthly. CoachPilot has a free plan for up to 5 clients, and during founding pricing its Pro plan is with unlimited clients, so the price doesn't move as your roster grows. Kahunas includes branded apps on its top plan.

The steps to watch are at 26 and 51 clients. One more client moves a Kahunas coach from Essentials to Growth, and then from Growth to Ultimate. With CoachPilot's founding pricing there is no step to cross.
Where Kahunas is the better choice
- You want your own app in the app stores today. Kahunas lists branded iOS and Android apps on Ultimate.
- You need a platform today. CoachPilot opens on Dec 1, 2026; until then you can reserve a spot.
- You have 21 to 25 clients and no plans to grow. Kahunas Essentials covers 25 clients for $35, which may be all you need.
Why coaches choose CoachPilot instead
A free plan, not a trial
Kahunas' pricing page lists a 14-day trial and no free plan. CoachPilot's Free plan covers up to 5 active clients for as long as you like, with the same meal planner and workout planner the paid plans use. A new coach can run their first clients on it without paying.
One price, however many clients you coach
During founding pricing, Pro and Ultimate each cost one flat price with unlimited clients, and coaches who join keep that price for as long as they stay subscribed. See the live numbers on the pricing page.
Nutrition and training in the same plan
Every CoachPilot plan, including Free, has both the meal planner and the workout planner. What changes as you move up is the AI help:
- Free: up to 5 active clients, with the meal planner, workout planner, messaging, scheduled check-ins and client onboarding.
- Pro: everything in Free, plus AI food swapping, so clients can swap a food while their calories and macros stay on plan.
- Ultimate: everything in Pro, plus the AI Copilot, an assistant that drafts meal and workout plans for you to review and summarizes client check-ins.
Switching from Kahunas
Moving platforms is the part most coaches dread, so we take it on:
- Free migration. On a paid plan, send us your exports from Kahunas (or share access) and we move your clients, meal plans and workout programs into CoachPilot within 48 hours.
- Contract buyout. Still under contract with Kahunas? 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.
Which should you pick?
Stay with Kahunas if a branded app is central to how you sell your coaching. Look at CoachPilot if you want to start free, if your roster is close to 26 or 51 clients, or if you'd rather have an assistant draft the first version of each client's plan.
