ProCoach vs PT Distinction

With PT Distinction, every extra client raises your bill. ProCoach stays flat

PT Distinction is a well-liked veteran of online coaching software. Its pricing works by client count with per-client overage fees on top: $6 per extra client on the entry plan, and the branded client app is reserved for higher tiers. ProCoach keeps one flat price with everything included, however big your roster gets.

The catch

What PT Distinction costs you

  • Per-client overage fees on every tier: $6 each on Basic, $2.40 on Pro, $1.60 on Master, so a growing roster keeps raising the bill
  • Reviewers on Capterra report slow loading when building workouts and slowdowns past 75 clients
  • The custom-branded client app is not included on the entry plan
  • Reviewers mention a learning curve before the interface feels natural
