Trainerize is a personal training platform priced by client count. Coaches who look for an alternative are usually reacting to the bill: the plan price rises with every client band, and nutrition coaching sits on top of it. This guide lays out what Trainerize charges, using its own pricing page, and compares it with CoachPilot at the same roster sizes.

The short answer

A coach with 50 clients pays Trainerize $135 a month for the plan, plus $45 if they want its nutrition add-on. CoachPilot includes meal planning on every plan, and during founding pricing Pro is with unlimited clients. Trainerize goes further for gyms and studios with many trainers, which CoachPilot isn't built for.

Trainerize pricing in 2026: every plan

One thing to know before reading the numbers: Trainerize's pricing page opens on annual billing. The prices below are the month-to-month ones, which are the fair comparison with a monthly subscription.

Trainerize vs CoachPilot: the real monthly cost

The middle column adds Trainerize's nutrition add-on to the plan that fits each roster, because most online coaches deliver nutrition alongside training. CoachPilot's column needs no add-on: the meal planner is part of every plan.

Why online coaches choose CoachPilot instead

Nutrition is part of the plan

CoachPilot's meal planner is on every plan, Free included, next to the workout planner. You build a client's nutrition and training in one place and they see both in one app.

The price doesn't climb with your roster

Trainerize has 8 paid plan sizes on the way to 200 clients. During founding pricing, CoachPilot's Pro and Ultimate are each one flat price with unlimited clients, and coaches who join keep that price for as long as they stay subscribed.

AI that does planning work

Trainerize lists an "AI Workout Builder" from Grow up. CoachPilot's AI covers both sides of a plan:

  • 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 Trainerize

  • Free migration. On a paid plan, send us your exports from Trainerize (or share access) and we move your clients, meal plans and workout programs into CoachPilot within 48 hours.
  • Contract buyout. Still under contract with Trainerize? 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.

The bottom line

If you coach clients online and deliver nutrition as well as training, add the nutrition add-on to Trainerize's plan price before you compare. If you run a multi-trainer studio, Trainerize is designed for that and CoachPilot isn't. For solo online coaches, CoachPilot keeps both planners, messaging and check-ins under one price.
