At 20 active clients, the personal trainer software compared here listed 49 to 79 a month on November 4, 2026, before add-ons. Trainerize sits at $79, and Gymkee Pro at $79, or $66 billed yearly. Compare the full monthly bill, not the headline price, because one add-on mix takes Trainerize to $134.
What each tool costs at 5, 20 and 50 clients
If a coaching bill has ever come in higher than the pricing page promised, you did not misread it. These tools price by client count, by billing period and by add-on, so a single "from" price tells you very little about what you will actually pay.
The table fixes one variable: the number of clients on your roster. We read every competitor price on November 4, 2026, in the currency each public page served us, and that currency can change with your location. Gymkee prices were verified on July 27, 2026, matched the live pricing page on November 4, 2026, and exclude tax.
| Tool and billing shown | 5 clients | 20 clients | 50 clients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trainerize, billed monthly | $25 | $79 (30-client tier) | $135 |
| TrueCoach, billed annually | $26.34 | $57.99 | $136.99 |
| Everfit, billed monthly | Free, or $19 paid | $49 | From $105 |
| My PT Hub, per month | €59 (Premium) | €59 (Premium) | €59 (Premium) |
| PT Distinction, per month | $19.90 for 3, plus extra clients | $59.90 (25 included) | $89.90 |
| Hevy Coach, per month | $25 | $50 | $90 |
| FitBudd, billed monthly | $27 | $79 | $139 |
| Gymkee, monthly or billed yearly | Starter $34, or $28 | Pro $79, or $66 | Business $149, or $124 |
Four notes keep this table honest:
- TrueCoach shows these prices with one or two months free, tied to annual billing. We could not confirm its month-to-month prices, so do not set them against a monthly figure as if they matched.
- FitBudd figures are sums: $15 for 2 clients plus $4 for each of 3 more, and $79 for 20 clients plus $2 for each of 30 more.
- Hevy Coach shows $25 on the page. Its $50 and $90 tiers come from the plan selector in the page source.
- Gymkee limits its plans to 5 active clients on Starter and 35 on Pro, while Business has no limit, so your Gymkee price depends on your roster too.
The add-ons that change the bill
The table stops at the base plan, and the base plan may not be what you end up buying. Three extras move the bill most: nutrition, payments and a branded app. Here is what we could confirm on November 4, 2026.
- Nutrition. Trainerize charges $20 a month for Advanced Nutrition Coaching on Grow, Pro 5 and Pro 15, and $45 a month from Pro 30 up. My PT Hub lists unlimited nutrition plans on Premium. Gymkee Pro lists nutrition programs and recipes in the plan.
- Payments. Trainerize charges $10 a month for Stripe Integrated Payments. Gymkee Pay has no monthly line: Gymkee takes a 0.97% commission on top of standard Stripe fees, about 2.5% in total.
- Branded app. Trainerize shows a Pro Custom Branded App at a one-time $169. On Gymkee, your own app, listed on App Store and Google Play, is the Custom plan: $349 a month, a one-time $499 setup fee, and a 12-month commitment if you pay yearly or 24 months if you pay monthly.
- Other extras. Trainerize also lists Video Coaching at $10 a month and a Business add-on at $25 a month.
We could not confirm add-on prices for TrueCoach, Everfit, PT Distinction, Hevy Coach or FitBudd. That does not mean these tools have none, so ask each one the same question before you enter a card: what will I pay for nutrition and for taking payments at my client count?
Worked example: Dana's bill at 20 clients
Dana coaches 20 active clients from Austin. She offers nutrition coaching alongside training, and every client pays her by card. Those two habits decide her bill far more than any headline price, so she adds it up line by line.
| Tool | Base at 20 clients | Nutrition | Payments | Monthly sum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trainerize, billed monthly | $79 | $45 | $10 | $134 |
| Gymkee Pro, billed monthly | $79 | In the plan | Fee per payment | $79 |
| Gymkee Pro, billed yearly | $66 | In the plan | Fee per payment | $66 |
| My PT Hub Premium | €59 | In the plan | Not confirmed | €59 |
The other tools stop at the base price, because we could not confirm their nutrition or payment lines: $57.99 billed annually on TrueCoach, $49 on Everfit, $59.90 on PT Distinction, $50 on Hevy Coach and $79 on FitBudd. Treat each of those as a starting figure, and finish the sum yourself in the trial.
Fees per payment sit outside these sums. On Gymkee Pay, about 2.5% in total means roughly $25 for every $1,000 Dana collects. We could not confirm the per-payment card fee behind the Trainerize add-on, so she should look for that line before comparing the two totals.
Redo this with your own numbers: swap in your client count, delete any extra you do not use, and keep the monthly sum as the only figure you compare.

Gymkee: what your client sees for that monthly bill
Picture one of Dana's clients. She opens Gymkee and finds today's workout, her nutrition program and her messages from Dana in one place, with Dana's own content. She is not tapping through an old-school coaching app that takes too many clicks to reach one workout, and she does not need a second tool to pay her coach.
On Dana's side, that is one plan. Pro costs $79 a month, or $66 a month billed yearly, for up to 35 active clients, verified July 27, 2026, and the plan lists nutrition programs and recipes, so there is no nutrition add-on to price. Gymkee is not the lowest figure in the table at 20 clients, so the fair question is whether that single line beats a lower base plus extras for the way you coach.
Up to 5 active clients, Starter is $34, or $28 billed yearly. Past 35, Business is $149, or $124 billed yearly, with no client limit. All of it sits on the Gymkee pricing page. Gymkee is available in English for you and your clients, and it holds a 4.6 / 5 rating across 1,197 public reviews.
How to compare prices without getting caught
Surprises on a coaching bill tend to come from six places, and you can check all of them in one sitting before you commit to anything.
- Count active clients. TrueCoach and Gymkee both price on active clients, so ask each tool what "active" means before you trust your count.
- Price client number 21. At 20 you fit the $57.99 TrueCoach plan, and client 21 moves you to the next listed plan at $136.99 billed annually. On FitBudd that client adds $2. Trainerize holds to 30, Hevy Coach to 25, Gymkee Pro to 35.
- Match the billing period. A yearly price and a monthly price are different commitments, so put every tool on the same one before you compare.
- Add payment fees. Ask for both the monthly charge and the fee per payment, then run them on what you collect in a normal month.
- Look for setup fees. Trainerize shows one for its branded app and Gymkee Custom shows one too, so ask about any one-time charge up front.
- Check tax and currency. Gymkee prices exclude tax, and we could not confirm the tax basis on competitor pages. If you coach in the UK, Canada or Australia, check which currency you are billed in as well.
Once two or three tools survive those checks, you can compare the alternatives side by side and run the same real client through each trial, because the price only tells you what a tool costs, not whether your clients will use it.
Gymkee gives you 14 days free, with no credit card needed, to run these checks on your own roster. Start your free Gymkee trial and add up your real monthly bill.
