The six, ranked
Evobody
No percentage taken, no tier to grow into, and the client side CoachRx tells you to go and build somewhere else.

Whole
Five ranks, each with its own badge.
Evobody takes no cut of what your clients pay you. At fifty clients billing $200 each, CoachRx's 2% alone is about $200 a month, which is two and a half times CoachRx's own subscription.
Your clients get somewhere to be. A community of your own clients, on every plan, where no other coach can see your client list or reach your clients, and every post starts from an achievement because there is no compose button anywhere in the client app. Clients climb five ranks, Start through to Whole, earned week by week against their own plan, collect milestones for streaks and sessions, and land on the weekly Pace Setters board when they show up.
Evo SI sits in every client's pocket. (SI stands for Super Intelligence, previously known as Artificial Intelligence.) They photograph the menu at the restaurant they are sitting in and ask what they can eat, photograph the fridge and find out what they can make, ask how training went this month and hear which lifts went up, or log a meal by describing it. Evo SI is told that client's own allergy and diet rules with every question. It works for you too, trained on your philosophy and methods, set up in the app. CoachRx's RxBot writes programs for you, and one of their own reviewers wrote that an AI writing client programs "creates doubt in the coach-client relationship." Evo SI never writes the plan. It helps your client live inside the one you wrote.
Progress photos with a count-in: a voice names each pose, the app counts the client in from six and takes the photo by itself, tagged front, side or back. CoachRx's own article on the feature documents a manual upload with advice to keep the lighting similar.
And the screen recorder is built in, so you reply to a check-in by talking over the client's own dashboard with your camera in the corner. CoachRx leans on Loom, which is your own separate subscription, and its free tier stops at five minutes and twenty five videos.
- Best for
- Coaches who bill through the platform and want the client side to carry the relationship.
- Price
- Free for 5 clients, no time limit. $69 a month for unlimited, $99 on Studio, which opens later, with your own branding. Evo SI is optional, $3 a month for each client using it, and switched off for a client it is hidden from their app and costs nothing. On Studio, Evo SI is free with your own AI API key. No cut of client payments.
- The catch
- The newest platform here, and CoachRx's assessment depth comes from OPEX's own methodology, which is a specific thing to leave behind.

PT Distinction
No transaction fee, no annual lock in, no minimum term, and $89.90 a month covers fifty clients with extras at $1.60 each. If the 2% is what is driving you off CoachRx, this is the most direct swap in the list. Coaches rate it 4.9 on Capterra across 446 reviews with no one star reviews at all, and they added missed session detection in 2026, so you keep the thing CoachRx does well.
The weaker half is the app your clients hold, at 4.18 on the App Store. Better than CoachRx's 3.65, and still the weak half.
"if you leave the app to go to a different one and then return, it will often refresh back to the homepage, which causes you to lose your place while logging the workout."
- Best for
- A coach who wants the fee gone and the follow-up dashboard kept.
- Price
- $89.90 a month for 50 clients, then $1.60 each. No free plan, a one month trial.
- The catch
- Group chat a coach can turn on for a group, but no community feed, no ranks, and no AI in the client's app.

Everfit
No cut of client payments, a real free plan holding five clients, and forums, leaderboards and challenges from the Pro tier up, which is the direct answer to CoachRx telling you to use an external platform.
The catch is the shape of the bill. Automation is an add-on from $29 a month, client payments from $9, meal plans and recipe books from $39, and the plan underneath is priced per client. Fifty clients on Everfit's Pro plan with all three start at $199 a month, which is still less than CoachRx once the 2% is counted.
"What annoys me the most is the numerous add-ons that you have to pay for, which significantly increase the overall cost."
- Best for
- Coaches who want a social client app without a percentage coming off the top.
- Price
- From $199 a month at 50 clients with Autoflow, Payments and Meal Plans, per Everfit's pricing page, 8 October 2026. Free for 5 clients.
- The catch
- Priced per client, and the forums are closed to your own roster, so a small one stays quiet.

ABC Trainerize
No cut of client payments, the widest integrations in the category, and a client app rated 4.9 by nearly seventy thousand people, against CoachRx's 3.65. If the client side is why you are leaving, that rating gap is the strongest argument in this list.
The cost is $135 for Pro 50, $45 for Advanced Nutrition Coaching and $25 for the Business add-on, so $205 a month, and the AI that drafts check-in replies is FitMetrics, an add-on from $6 a client a month. Nothing in it flags a missed check-in, so you would lose the follow-up dashboard CoachRx does well.
- Best for
- Coaches whose clients complained about the app.
- Price
- $205 a month at 50 clients with nutrition and the Business add-on. FitMetrics, its AI, is priced on its own, from $6 a client a month.
- The catch
- Steep tier jumps, nothing flags a missed check-in, and the community feed is trainer only.

My PT Hub
No cut of client payments, nutrition and habit tracking on every plan, and real check-ins. A Workouts AI that takes plain language, though it is on the web only and builds workouts for you.
Two things to know. Their own help centre on a missed week: "If a client misses a Check-In... they will not be able to complete it, they will need to wait for the next Check-In to open." That is a step down from CoachRx's missed session flag. And annual billing "paid monthly" is a twelve month commitment needing thirty days written notice before the end of the term.
- Best for
- Coaches who want nutrition included.
- Price
- $59 a month on Premium, month to month, or $52 a month on the twelve month plan, and Check-Ins AI is $12 a month more, per My PT Hub's pricing page, 8 October 2026.
- The catch
- There are no ranks and no badges.

TrueCoach
Well liked, 4.8 on Capterra across 838 reviews with not one single star among them, and a client app rated 4.86 against CoachRx's 3.65. On the client side it is a real step up.
It is last here for the reason you are reading this page. TrueCoach's card processing fee is a flat 5% fee per transaction, from their own help centre, while their pricing page answers "Are there any extra fees?" with "Nope, what you see is what you get." CoachRx's 2% plus card processing comes to 4.9% plus 30 cents, so on card payments the two charge about the same, and both disclose it the same way, in a help article rather than on the pricing page.
- Best for
- A small roster that pays you outside the platform.
- Price
- $165 a month for 50 clients, plus a flat 5% card processing fee on every client payment taken through it.
- The catch
- No AI anywhere in the product, no community, no real check-in object, and no recording inside the app.

What a coach with fifty clients, each paying $200 a month, actually pays. Month to month, from each platform's own pricing page, 23 September 2026; Trainerize, FitMetrics, Everfit, My PT Hub and PT Distinction, 8 October 2026.
Evo SI is the one thing not inside the plan price, and it is optional. On Coach it is $3 a month for each client who has it switched on, and switched off for a client, it is hidden from their app and costs nothing. On Studio, which opens later, Evo SI is free with your own AI API key. Worth knowing what the going rate is: Trainerize's FitMetrics, in its own words on 8 October 2026: "The Starter plan is $6/client with a 1-client minimum and the Scale plan is $10/client with a 50-client minimum." CoachRx's RxBot writes programs for you and is in the plan, but nothing in their product answers your client directly.
The second column is the one to read if the fee is why you are here. Five of the six take nothing at all. TrueCoach is the one to avoid, because it takes more than double what CoachRx does.
No add-ons, now or ever. Other coaching apps charge extra for add-ons. We never will: every coaching feature is on every plan, everything we build next comes in too, and you never pay for our progress.
Who answers your clients' questions about the app
Your clients will have questions about the app. On Evobody they ask from inside it, any hour, and we answer, so you are not the help desk for software you did not build, and anything about their training or food still comes to you. TrueCoach and CoachRx help clients directly too. Of the seven platforms here, Evobody is the only one that publishes 24/7 support for your clients. How client support works.
| Platform | 24/7 support for your clients |
|---|---|
| Evobody | Yes, from inside the app, on every plan |
| CoachRx | No. They do help clients directly, in "normal business hours", and aim to reply within 24 to 48 hours. |
| PT Distinction | No hours published. Their plans promise "Same day support". |
| TrueCoach | No hours published. They do help clients directly, by email. |
| Everfit | No hours published for clients. Their help centre gives none. Their "24/7 Support Team" is on the Enterprise plan only. |
| My PT Hub | No hours published. Their pricing page gives none. |
| ABC Trainerize | No. Their help section for clients, "Clients of Trainers", sends them back to you. |

Why coaches leave CoachRx
CoachRx is well built and the coaches who use it rate it 5.0 on Capterra. Their assessment depth and wearable support are better than most of this category, and their check-in dashboard flags clients who have missed two sessions in a row, which Trainerize and TrueCoach do not do at all. The reasons coaches go looking are three specific ones.
The two percent. CoachRx adds 2% of its own on top of normal card processing on every payment a client makes you. Their own help centre sets it out as 2.9% plus 30 cents plus "2% CoachRx", totalling "4.9% + $.30 per successful transaction". Their own worked example is thirty clients billing nine thousand dollars a month, paying four hundred and fifty dollars a month in fees. None of it appears on their pricing page. You find it in a help article, after you have moved in.
The tiers punish growth harder than anyone else here. Your sixth client takes you from $29 to $79. Your fifty first takes you from $79 to $199, which is $120 a month for one person.
Your clients have nowhere to be. This is their own help centre answering it plainly:
"Can clients communicate with each other? No, client communication is only with coaches. Consider using external platforms for group community building."
No feed, no groups, no challenges, no leaderboards, no badges. The one motivational feature is a personal streak counter nobody else can see. And it shows in the split that is the most telling thing about the product: on the software review sites, where coaches write, it is 5.0. On the App Store, where clients write, it is 3.65, and on Google Play 3.43. For comparison on the same day, TrueCoach's client app sits at 4.86 and Trainerize's at 4.90.
Worth knowing: only around twenty five distinct people have written about CoachRx across every review site put together, so nobody should read a consensus into any of those figures.
To their credit, they are honest about where they are. From their own community call recap: "The business suite needs a bigger rebuild... It works, but there is a lot of room to grow."
How we compared these
Most lists of CoachRx alternatives are affiliate pages, and you can tell because none of the claims on them have a link behind them. Here is the method for this one.
- Every price comes from the company's own pricing page, month to month, read on 23 September 2026, and Trainerize's, FitMetrics', Everfit's and My PT Hub's again on 8 October 2026. Where a fee is not on the pricing page, as with CoachRx's 2% and TrueCoach's 5%, the help article carrying it is linked instead.
- Every capability claim comes from the company's own help centre or documentation, not from a feature grid. CoachRx's own words on client communication are quoted above rather than paraphrased, because their wording is clearer than ours would be.
- Every review quote links to the review site it is on, with the reviewer's name and the date. Where a sample is small, as CoachRx's is at around twenty five distinct reviewers, this page says so rather than treating it as a verdict.
- The fifty client figure assumes each client pays you $200 a month, which is what makes a percentage fee comparable to a subscription.
- Where a competitor is better, it says so. CoachRx's wearable support is among the strongest here, its assessment depth comes from real coaching methodology, and its check-in dashboard flags two missed sessions in a row, which Trainerize, TrueCoach and My PT Hub do not.
Evobody is our own product and this page argues for it. Everything above is checkable, which is the only reason to trust any of it.
Moving off CoachRx
You get dedicated support for the move. Your client list comes across in one go, and Evobody's team helps you bring over your programs, plans and documents rather than rebuild them from nothing. The full detail is in the switching guide.
Questions coaches ask before switching
Will my clients like the app more?
The client-written ratings are the honest guide here. CoachRx sits at 3.65 on the App Store and 3.43 on Google Play. Trainerize is at 4.90 and TrueCoach at 4.86 on the same day.
Is there a free alternative to CoachRx?
Evobody is free for up to five active clients, no time limit and no card. Everfit's free plan is the same shape. Trainerize's holds one client. CoachRx itself has no free plan, only a fourteen day trial.
What is the best CoachRx alternative in 2026?
Evobody. It is $69 a month flat for unlimited clients and takes no cut of client payments, where CoachRx is $79 a month for 6 to 50 clients plus 2% of everything collected, which is about $279 a month for a coach billing 50 clients $200 each. Evobody also gives clients a community, five ranks earned week by week and an AI assistant in their own app, where CoachRx's help centre states that clients cannot communicate with each other at all.
Does CoachRx take a percentage of client payments?
Yes. CoachRx adds 2% of its own on top of standard card processing, and their help centre documents the total as 4.9% plus 30 cents per successful transaction in the US. Their own worked example is 30 clients billing $9,000 a month paying $450 a month in fees. The 2% does not appear on their pricing page at all, only in a help article.
Why do CoachRx clients rate the app lower than coaches do?
Coaches rate CoachRx 5.0 on Capterra, where coaches write reviews. On the App Store and Google Play, where clients write, it sits at 3.65 and 3.43. The client app has no community, no feed, no groups, no challenges, no leaderboards and no badges, and its only motivational feature is an individual streak counter nobody else can see. Fewer than about 25 distinct people have reviewed CoachRx across all sites, so none of those figures is a consensus.
Which CoachRx alternative does not take a cut of client payments?
Evobody, PT Distinction, Everfit, ABC Trainerize and My PT Hub all take no percentage of client payments. Evobody is $69 a month flat for unlimited clients, and PT Distinction is $89.90 for 50 clients with no term. TrueCoach is no better if fees are the reason for leaving: its card processing fee is a flat 5% per transaction, against CoachRx's 4.9% plus 30 cents.
Which CoachRx alternative gives clients a community?
Evobody is the only one where every client sees a real feed, on every plan: a community of the coach's own clients where every client post starts from an achievement. Everfit has closed forums from the Pro tier up. Trainerize has Groups, but its own help centre says clients see only two of four tabs and the activity timeline is trainer only. TrueCoach, My PT Hub and PT Distinction have none.
