Head to head

Everfit vs TrueCoach

Everfit is the stronger all-round pick for most online coaches thanks to automation, a free tier for five clients and built-in meal planning as a paid module, while TrueCoach suits coaches who want a simpler, workout-first tool and do not mind its listed 5% platform fee on client payments. The fee is the decisive number: at meaningful revenue it outweighs any subscription difference.

Two well-liked coaching platforms with very different philosophies, one modular and automated, one deliberately simple, and one fee that decides it for most coaches.

The verdict

Pick Everfit if you want the fuller toolkit

You want automation handling check-ins, real meal planning in the same place as your programming, and a free tier to grow into. You are willing to pay per module to get it, and you would rather not hand over a percentage of every client payment. For most coaches building an online business, this is the more complete answer.

Pick TrueCoach if you want the simplest good tool

You coach training, you send programs, your clients do them, and you do not want a platform with a settings tab you have never opened. TrueCoach is deliberately narrow and does its job cleanly. Just do the arithmetic on the listed 5% payment fee first: if you collect meaningfully through the platform, that line will be the largest one on your bill.

A third option, and it is ours

ProCoach

If the 5% fee is what pushed you to compare these two, it is worth knowing the fee does not have to exist. ProCoach takes no platform cut of client payments. You pay Stripe's standard processing rates and nothing to us, and nutrition, automation and bookings are included rather than sold per module. This is our site and our product, so judge it on the same numbers you are judging these two on.

Common questions

01Does TrueCoach really charge 5% on payments?

TrueCoach lists a 5% platform fee on payments collected through the platform, on top of standard payment processing. Everfit sells payments as an $8–9/mo listed add-on with no percentage.

02Is Everfit or TrueCoach better for nutrition coaching?

Everfit, if you pay for it. Its meal plans module is listed at $33–39/mo and is a real meal-planning product, where TrueCoach handles nutrition through documents and a MyFitnessPal integration.

03Which is easier to learn, Everfit or TrueCoach?

TrueCoach. It is deliberately workout-first with far less to configure, and coaches who want a simple tool consistently prefer it. Everfit trades that simplicity for automation and modules.

04Do either offer a free plan?

Everfit lists a free tier up to 5 clients. TrueCoach lists no free plan.
