ProCoach vs Trainerize

Everything Trainerize sells as add-ons, ProCoach ships built in

Trainerize (ABC Trainerize) is one of the biggest names in personal training software. It is also famous for its add-on pricing: payments, advanced nutrition and the branded app are all paid extras on top of a client-count plan. ProCoach takes the opposite approach: one price, everything included.

The catch

What Trainerize costs you

  • Add-on pricing inflates the real cost: payments are $10/mo, advanced nutrition $20–45/mo and the branded app $169, all on top of the plan
  • Third-party roundups put the working cost at $115–200+/mo once the usual add-ons are on
  • Reviewers report the interface takes time to learn and navigate
  • Roundups call out the lack of a structured check-in system, so accountability is manual

Why coaches switch

The add-on trap has a real price

Third-party roundups put the working cost of Trainerize (Pro 50 plus nutrition plus the branded app) at $115 to $200+ a month. ProCoach is $29 to $58 flat on annual billing, with nutrition, payments and AI already in.

Payments without an add-on

On Trainerize, taking client payments is a paid add-on. On ProCoach, payments come with every paid plan: connect Stripe and collect.

One app, not a bundle of modules

Training, nutrition, check-ins, chat, bookings and payments live in one place for you and one app for your clients.
