Best App for Health Coaches: Top 10 Picks for 2026
The best app for health coaches is the one your clients actually open on a Tuesday morning when nobody is watching. Health coaching happens between sessions: the glass of water before coffee, the ten-minute walk after lunch, the honest evening check-in about sleep and stress. So the deciding question is not which tool has the longest feature list for you. It is which app gives your clients one place on their phone for daily habits, check-ins, program lessons, messages and community, while feeding everything back to your client records.
Our pick is Coachful's client app. It runs on iPhone and Android, carries your branding inside the Coachful app, and puts multi-week programs, habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals with progress bars, courses, community and direct messages in one login. Behind it sits the back office (booking, payments, agreements, client records) so you are not stitching four tools together. We make Coachful, so weigh that, and read on for nine alternatives and when each one is the better choice.
This guide is about the client's side of the screen. If you are choosing the back office first, read our guide to the best health coaching software, then come back here to judge what your clients will see.
A scope note before we start. Health coaching is not medical treatment. A coaching app supports behavior change; it does not diagnose, prescribe or manage disease. If a client reports chest pain, fainting, signs of disordered eating, thoughts of self-harm, a new or changing diagnosis, or wants to change medication, refer them to their doctor or a licensed professional. The National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching sets out the coach's scope, and it is worth rereading before you write any check-in question.
Which five questions decide the right health coaching app?
Answer these five questions about your practice before you compare logos. Most coaches find two or three apps drop out immediately.
- What do your clients do between sessions? Daily habits and check-ins (most health coaching), logged workouts and macros (fitness-heavy work), or mainly watching lessons and posting in a group (course-led programs)?
- Do you sell 1:1 coaching, group programs, or both? One-to-one work needs private plans and notes per client. Group work needs cohorts, a feed and live calls. Many health coaches run both.
- Do you keep clinical records or bill insurance? If yes, you need a clinical practice system with charting and a signed business associate agreement under HIPAA. If no, a coaching platform is the better fit.
- How many active clients will you have in 12 months: about 5, 15 or 40? Per-client pricing that looks cheap at five clients can triple at forty.
- How many other tools do you want to keep paying for? A website, email list, booking tool, payment links and a community app each add a login for you and, often, for your client.
Which app should you pick based on your answers?
Use this table to map your answers to a shortlist. Each pick is explained in its own section below.
| Pick | Your answers point here if... | Client app |
|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Clients do daily habits and check-ins, you run 1:1 and group programs, no clinical records, and you want to replace 4 to 6 tools | iPhone and Android, your branding inside the Coachful app |
| ABC Trainerize | Your coaching is mostly workouts and nutrition tracking, priced by client seat | Fitness client app |
| Everfit | Workout programming first, a free tier for your first 5 clients | Fitness client app |
| Mighty Networks | Your offer is a paid community with courses and events, not 1:1 plans | Mighty-branded member apps |
| Practice Better | You need charting, telehealth and clinical-style records | "Better by Practice Better" on iOS and Android |
| Paperbell | You want simple 1:1 packages and payments at one flat price | No native app (mobile browser) |
| CoachAccountable | You track action plans and metrics for a small 1:1 roster | No native app |
| Circle | A community-first membership with courses and live streams | Branded apps only on Circle Plus |
| Kajabi | You sell courses and digital products at scale | Advertises a branded mobile app (check plan) |
| Skool | A low-cost gamified group with a classroom | Apps from the app stores |
What do health coaching clients actually do in an app each week?
They repeat small actions and report on them. A typical week in a 12-week health program looks like this: a short morning check-in (sleep, energy, mood), two to four habits ticked off daily (water, steps, vegetables, a wind-down routine), one lesson or worksheet, a few messages to the coach, a scroll through the group feed, and an evening reflection. Once a week there is a session or group call, with a reminder the day before.
That rhythm tells you what matters in a client app. The daily actions have to take seconds, not minutes. Notifications have to arrive at the right time. Lessons have to live in the same place as the habits, so the client is not hunting for a link in an old email. And the coach needs to see who went quiet on Thursday before the client cancels on Monday. Our guides to habit tracking apps for health coaches and client check-in apps go deeper on those two pieces.
How did we choose and rank these apps?
We ranked on the client's experience between sessions, using what vendors document on their sites and pricing pages and what public reviewers report. We did not run hands-on tests. Vendor prices are as listed in October 2026.
Ranking criteria: one login for the whole client journey, between-session delivery (habits, check-ins, lessons, messages, community), total stack cost, and setup effort including any done-for-you build.
- Coachful
- ABC Trainerize
- Everfit
- Mighty Networks
- Practice Better
- Paperbell
- CoachAccountable
- Circle
- Kajabi
- Skool
Two tools on this list, Paperbell and CoachAccountable, have no native app at all, and Mighty Networks and Circle keep your own branded app for custom-priced top plans. That does not make them bad software. It does mean your clients use a browser, which matters when the whole job is a daily habit.
1. Coachful: the best app for health coaches who deliver programs
Coachful is a coaching platform with one subscription for booking, payments, contracts, program delivery, courses, community, a website with funnels and email, and an AI assistant. For your clients, all of that shows up as one branded app on iPhone and Android: the app is the Coachful app, carrying your branding inside it, rather than a listing under your own App Store account. It is built for coaches who deliver programs rather than single sessions, solo coaches growing into a small team, and coaches replacing four to six tools. See how it fits your niche on the Coachful for health coaches page.
What a client sees when they open it
The client lands on their coaching hub: the next session, the programs they are enrolled in, their sessions, progress and documents. Any pre-session task you set, such as an intake form or a short reflection, sits right there rather than in an inbox.
Programs, habits and check-ins
Multi-week programs carry weekly goals, daily tasks and habits. Clients answer morning and evening check-ins, watch goals fill progress bars and build streaks. For a health coach, that maps directly onto a 12-week reset: week one is water and sleep, week three adds movement, week six adds meal planning, and each day's tasks appear without the client needing to remember what comes next.
Goals tie the pieces together. A goal's daily momentum section pulls in its linked tasks and habits, with daily and weekly reflection tabs below, so a client working on "sleep 7 hours" sees the wind-down habit and the evening check-in in one place.
Here is how a coach sets up the morning and evening check-ins that clients answer in the app:
Lessons, community and messages in the same login
Courses (modules, lessons, drip and completion tracking), downloads, videos, books and events are delivered into the client's branded home and app. When a client enrolls in a group program, Coachful creates the cohort group automatically, so they land in a community feed with group chat, direct messages and video events. Group calls and webinars run from the same place, which is useful for a monthly live Q&A on, say, eating out without derailing the plan.
If you coach movement and food in detail, the Fitness & Nutrition pack adds a workout builder with an exercise library of illustrated exercises, workout logging with set history and PRs, nutrition targets up to calories and macros, meal plans, recipes, food lookup and barcode scanning, private progress photos and measurements, and weekly check-ins. You attach your own demo videos; there are no stock exercise videos.
Reminders and the AI Coach
Session reminders go out by email, plus SMS 24 hours before and WhatsApp 1 hour before once messaging is enabled. For coaches who want clients to have support at 9 p.m. on a Sunday, the AI Coach is an AI version of you that selected clients can chat with between sessions, configured by you. Michelle, the built-in AI assistant, works on your side: it briefs you before sessions from live client data and drafts programs and emails.
How the back office connects
Every check-in, habit, goal and note lands on the client record, along with intake answers, payments and sessions. Each client carries a status of thriving, active, quiet or at risk, so the client who stopped checking in on Thursday shows up on your list before Monday's session. Booking, two-way calendar sync, payments through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account (0% Coachful platform fee; only processor fees) and e-signed coaching agreements sit in the same account. Current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients.
Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, choose "We'll build it for you · FREE" and describe what you want: a program, a course outline, a coaching flow, a website, a funnel or an email sequence. Attach up to 8 reference links and 10 files, and the Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices. One recent build: a menopause and midlife health coach starting from nothing got a five-page site in sage and cream with every button leading to a free 20-minute consultation. Read more about the free white-glove service.
What Coachful does not do
- It is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA, so clinical records and insurance billing belong in a clinical system.
- No Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop or Oura sync, and Apple Health sync is not publicly available. Clients log by hand or by check-in.
- The client app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not under your own App Store account.
- No PayPal and no permanent free plan; there is a free trial.
If you coach clients with chronic conditions, read when a health coach needs a second app for the cases where a specialist tracker belongs alongside Coachful.
2. ABC Trainerize: a strong fitness app with add-ons for the rest
ABC Trainerize is a fitness and personal-training app built around workouts, habits, nutrition tracking and messaging, priced by client seats. For health coaches whose programs lean heavily on structured exercise, its client app is a mature place to log training and see the week's plan.
Why fitness-led health coaches like it
The client experience centres on the workout: what to do today, logging it, and messaging the coach. Habits and nutrition tracking sit next to it. The free trial is 30 days with unlimited clients and no credit card, then the account reverts to the free 1-client plan with no charge, which makes it easy to test with real clients.
The add-on bill
As listed in October 2026, scheduling, selling products, payments, video and advanced nutrition are separate paid add-ons below Studio, and in-app payments need the Stripe Integrated Payments add-on. There is no course builder, website, funnels or email marketing. Paid plans run from Grow at $10/month for 2 clients and Pro at $25/month for 5 clients, with Pro tiers at 15, 30, 50, 75, 100 and 200 clients. An older profile reports that client data export leaves out messages, photos and attachments, which matters if you ever switch. Its Trustpilot score was 3.1 from 100 reviews when we checked in October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if your coaching is mainly training plans and you want a fitness-first client app, and you are happy to buy scheduling and payments as add-ons and keep courses and marketing elsewhere.
3. Everfit: workout programming with a free tier for 5 clients
Everfit is another fitness coaching app covering workouts, habits, nutrition and messaging, priced by client count. Its draw for new coaches is the Starter plan, free for up to 5 clients.
What clients get day to day
Clients follow assigned workouts, track habits and nutrition and message their coach in the app. For a health coach running a movement-heavy program, that covers the daily core.
Where the costs climb
Automation (Autoflow), payments and meal plans are paid add-ons. Pro starts at $19/month for 5 clients and scales by count: $29 for 10, $49 for 20, $95 for 50 and $140 for 100 (monthly prices as listed in October 2026). There is no course builder, website, funnels or email marketing, so lessons on stress, sleep or mindset need another home. The trial is 30 days with no credit card. Trustpilot showed 2.7 from 16 reviews in October 2026, a small sample.
Pick it over Coachful if you are starting with fewer than five clients, your program is mostly exercise, and you want to spend nothing until the roster grows.
4. Mighty Networks: a community app for course-led programs
Mighty Networks combines community, courses and events, with Mighty-branded member apps. It suits health coaches whose main offer is a paid group or membership rather than individual plans.
How the member experience feels
Members get a feed, courses, events and livestreams in one app. The Launch plan includes livestreaming for 20 hours a month with up to 100 attendees, which covers a weekly group call for many coaches.
The gaps for 1:1 health work
There is no 1:1 scheduling, invoicing or contracts, and no per-client habits, check-ins or private coaching plans. Your own branded apps come only on the custom-priced Mighty Pro plan. Pricing as listed in October 2026: Launch $95/month ($79 annual), Scale $215/month ($179 annual), plus a platform fee of 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale and 0.5% on Growth, on top of Stripe processing. For more options in this category, see community platforms for health coaches.
Pick it over Coachful if your business is a community with courses, you do little or no 1:1 coaching, and you are fine with booking and agreements living in another tool.
5. Practice Better: the clinical-leaning option
Practice Better is practice management for wellness and nutrition practitioners: scheduling, telehealth, charting, billing, programs and a client portal. Its mobile app, "Better by Practice Better," is available to practitioners and clients on iOS and Android, according to the company's mobile app page, which describes it as an extension of the web portal.
Why dietitians and clinical practitioners look here
Charting and telehealth make it the closest thing on this list to a clinical system. If you work alongside clinical care, or you are a credentialed practitioner who also coaches, that matters more than any habit screen.
Plan limits worth reading twice
As listed in October 2026, Sprout is free for 3 clients, Starter is $35/month for 10 clients, Professional $69/month for 300 clients, Plus $99/month for unlimited clients, and Team $155/month for 2 practitioners. Evergreen programs, portal branding, a custom URL and SMS start on Plus, so a branded client experience costs $99/month. There is no website builder or funnel pages, according to an older profile. Trials run 14 days on most paid plans and 30 days on Team. Trustpilot showed 3.8 from 87 reviews. Coaches comparing options can read our Practice Better alternatives guide.
Pick it over Coachful if you need charting, telehealth and clinical-style records more than you need programs, community and a website in one place.
6. Paperbell: simple admin, no native app
Paperbell is an all-in-one admin tool for solo coaches: booking, packages, payments, contracts, a client portal and a simple website, for a single price of $97/month ($80.83/month annual) as listed in October 2026.
What clients actually use
Clients book, pay, sign and open the portal in a mobile browser. According to an older profile, there is no native mobile app, and no courses, community, goal tracking or habit tracking. For a health coach, that means the daily part of the program (habits, check-ins, lessons) has to run somewhere else.
Who it suits anyway
Coaches who sell session packages and do the behavior-change work live on calls get a tidy, predictable setup. Unlimited clients at one price is easy to budget. The trial is short (a help-center note from July 2026 describes 7 days with the public site offline), with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Compare options in Paperbell alternatives.
Pick it over Coachful if you coach entirely in sessions, you want the simplest possible admin at one flat price, and your clients do not need a daily app.
7. CoachAccountable: action plans and metrics in the browser
CoachAccountable is a coaching back office covering sessions, action plans, metrics, worksheets, courses, invoicing and agreements. Public reviewers rate it highly: 4.8 from 47 reviews on Trustpilot when we checked in October 2026.
The accountability model
Action plans and metrics are the strength: a client can track a weekly number such as steps or servings of vegetables, and the coach sees the trend. Worksheets and courses add structure.
Why per-client pricing bites
An older profile reports no native mobile app, so clients use the browser. Pricing is per active client, as listed in October 2026: $40/month for 5, $70 for 10, $120 for 20, $250 for 50 and $400 for 100. Group programs get expensive quickly. There are no landing pages, website or marketing automation, and the vendor states it is not HIPAA compliant. The trial is 30 days with no credit card. Our CoachAccountable alternatives for health coaches guide covers more options.
Pick it over Coachful if you run a small 1:1 roster built around metrics and action plans, and your clients are comfortable checking in from a browser.
8. Circle: community first, branded app at the top tier
Circle is a community platform with courses, events, live streams and paid memberships. It earns its place for health coaches who run a membership where peer support is the product.
Strengths for group health programs
Spaces, events and live streams give a cohort a home. AI credits come with each plan (2,500 a month on Professional and Business, as listed in October 2026).
What is missing for the individual client
No 1:1 scheduling or client management back office, and no per-client habits, check-ins or coaching plans. Branded mobile apps come only on the custom-priced Circle Plus. Professional is $89/month billed annually and Business $199/month billed annually, plus a Circle fee of 2% on Professional and 1% on Business and Scale. The trial is 14 days with no credit card. Trustpilot showed 4.1 from 129 reviews.
Pick it over Coachful if you are building a large community where members mostly talk to each other, and individual habit plans are not part of the offer.
9. Kajabi: built for selling courses, not daily habits
Kajabi is a course, community, website, funnel and email platform for selling knowledge products. Health coaches with a large audience use it to sell self-paced programs.
The client app question
Kajabi's site advertises a branded mobile app. We could not confirm which plans include it, so check before you buy if the app is the reason you are choosing Kajabi.
Price and fit
Coaching on Kajabi is products and communities, not per-client plans, and there is no habit tracking or daily client check-in. As listed in October 2026, Basic is $179/month ($143 annual) with 5 products, 2,500 contacts and 0 AI credits; Growth is $249/month ($199 annual). Using a processor other than Kajabi Payments or PayPal adds a 0.5% to 2% Kajabi fee. Trustpilot showed 3.4 from 2,347 reviews.
Pick it over Coachful if your business is mainly selling courses and digital products to a big list, and personal coaching is a small add-on.
10. Skool: the cheapest group, the thinnest client record
Skool puts a community, a classroom and a calendar in one group, with gamified leaderboards. Its site points members to apps in the app stores, and the Hobby plan starts at $9/month as listed in October 2026.
Why some health coaches start here
Leaderboards can make a 30-day walking challenge feel like a game, and unlimited members on both plans keeps costs flat as a group grows.
The trade-offs
There are no 1:1 client records, intake forms, habits or check-ins, and no custom domain website, funnels or email automation. Payments run only through Skool Payments: 10% + 30¢ per transaction on Hobby, and 2.9% + 30¢ (3.9% above $900) on Pro at $99/month. Trustpilot showed 1.6 from 54 reviews in October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if you want a low-cost group with a classroom and leaderboards, and you do not need private plans or check-ins for each client.
How do the client apps compare feature by feature?
This matrix covers what clients touch between sessions. "Not documented" means we found no vendor statement either way.
| App | Daily habits and check-ins | Programs and lessons | Messaging | Community | Branding | Back office in same login |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals, streaks | Multi-week programs and courses | Direct messages and group chat | Feed, cohorts, video events | Your branding inside the Coachful app | Yes: booking, payments, agreements, records |
| ABC Trainerize | Habits, nutrition tracking | Workout programs; no course builder | Yes | Not documented | Not documented | Partly; scheduling and payments are add-ons |
| Everfit | Habits, nutrition | Workouts; no course builder | Yes | Not documented | Not documented | Partly; payments are an add-on |
| Mighty Networks | No per-client habits or check-ins | Courses | Not documented | Yes | Own apps on Mighty Pro only | No 1:1 scheduling or invoicing |
| Practice Better | Not documented in our data | Programs and courses | Secure messaging listed | Not documented | Portal branding from Plus | Yes, with charting |
| Paperbell | No goal or habit tracking | No courses | Client messages | No | Client portal; no native app | Yes: booking, payments, contracts |
| CoachAccountable | Metrics and action plans | Worksheets and courses | Not documented | Not documented | No native app | Yes |
| Circle | No per-client habits | Courses | Not documented | Yes | Branded apps on Circle Plus only | No client back office |
| Kajabi | No habits or check-ins | Courses | Not documented | Yes | Branded app advertised; plan not confirmed | Products, not client records |
| Skool | No habits or check-ins | Classroom | Not documented | Yes, gamified | Skool apps | No 1:1 records |
What does a day in Coachful's app look like for a health coaching client?
Here is an illustrative example, not a real customer: Maya, week four of a 12-week energy and sleep program.
- 6:45 a.m. Maya opens the app and answers the morning check-in: slept 6.5 hours, energy 3 of 5. She ticks "water before coffee," and her streak moves to 11 days.
- 12:30 p.m. She watches the week-four lesson on blood sugar and afternoon slumps (your lesson, dripped this week) and downloads the meal-swap worksheet.
- 3:10 p.m. She posts in the cohort feed that the afternoon walk is hard on workdays. Two members reply with their workarounds.
- 6:00 p.m. A text reminds her of tomorrow's session, 24 hours ahead.
- 9:30 p.m. The evening check-in asks about stress and screens off by 10. Her "sleep 7 hours" goal bar creeps forward.
On your side, Maya's check-ins, habits and post show on her client record. Before tomorrow's call, Michelle gives you a briefing from that live data, and you open the session already knowing the afternoon walk is the sticking point. If Maya had gone silent for three days, her status would have shifted toward quiet or at risk, and you could message her before she drifted away.
What will each app cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients?
Monthly prices as listed in October 2026, before payment processing. Add-ons and transaction fees are noted where they change the picture.
| App | 5 clients | 15 clients | 40 clients | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients | Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients | Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients | 0% platform fee; website, email and community included in your Coachful membership |
| ABC Trainerize | $25 (Pro, 5 clients) | Pro 15-client tier (price not in our data) | Pro 50-client tier (price not in our data) | Scheduling, payments, video are add-ons |
| Everfit | $0 (Starter) or $19 (Pro) | $49 (20 clients) | $95 (50 clients) | Payments, Autoflow, meal plans are add-ons |
| Mighty Networks | $95 | $95 | $95 | 2% platform fee on Launch |
| Practice Better | $35 (Starter) | $69 (Professional) | $69 (Professional) | Branding and SMS need Plus at $99 |
| Paperbell | $97 | $97 | $97 | No native app, courses or community |
| CoachAccountable | $40 | $120 (20 clients) | $250 (50 clients) | Per active client |
| Circle | $89 (annual billing) | $89 (annual billing) | $89 (annual billing) | 2% fee on Professional |
| Kajabi | $179 | $179 | $179 | 2,500 contacts, 5 products on Basic |
| Skool | $9 | $9 | $9 | 10% + 30¢ per sale on Hobby |
The sticker price is half the story. A fitness app at 15 clients plus a website builder, an email tool, a booking tool and a community app can easily cost more than one platform, and each extra tool is another login for your client. Add up your real stack before you compare.
What red flags and switching costs should you check before choosing?
The biggest risk is picking an app your clients will not open, then paying to move them twice. Check these before you commit.
- No native app for a daily-habit program. Browser portals work for booking and paying. They are a weak home for a 30-second morning check-in.
- Branding locked to the top tier. Mighty Networks, Circle and Practice Better all reserve branded apps or portal branding for higher or custom-priced plans.
- Per-client pricing on group programs. A 30-person cohort on a per-active-client plan can cost more than your margin on the program.
- Platform fees on sales. 0.5% to 10% per transaction adds up over a year of program sales.
- Incomplete exports. Ask whether messages, photos and check-in history come out when you leave. Coachful exports the full client record as a ZIP (roster, notes, check-ins, goals, habits, sessions, form responses).
- Clinical data in a coaching tool. If you hold diagnoses or treatment notes, use a clinical system with a BAA. Coachful and most tools here are coaching platforms.
- Migration effort. Moving clients means new logins, a new app download and a new habit of opening it. During Coachful onboarding, your clients, programs and content are imported for you, which removes most of the rebuild.
Specialists can compare niche picks in our guides for gut health coaches, hormone health coaches and holistic health coaches.
What is the verdict on the best app for health coaches?
For most health coaches, Coachful's client app is the strongest choice: daily habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals, program lessons, community and messages in one branded app on iPhone and Android, with the back office in the same login. Choose ABC Trainerize or Everfit if your work is mainly workout programming, Practice Better if you need charting and telehealth, Mighty Networks, Circle or Skool if a community is the whole product, and Paperbell or CoachAccountable if you coach only in sessions and a browser is enough.
Here is the short version of what Coachful is. It is a coaching platform for coaches who deliver programs, from solo practices to small teams. It covers booking, payments, agreements, programs with habits and check-ins, courses, community, a website, funnels and email. It does not handle clinical records, wearable sync or PayPal. To start, take the free trial and ask the team to build your first program or site through the free white-glove service.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best app for health coaches?
For coaches who run programs with daily habits and check-ins, Coachful's client app is our pick because it puts habits, check-ins, lessons, community and messages in one branded app on iPhone and Android. Fitness-led coaches may prefer ABC Trainerize or Everfit, and clinical practitioners may prefer Practice Better.
Does Coachful give me my own app in the App Store?
No. Clients download the Coachful app on iPhone or Android and see your branding inside it. The app is not published under your own App Store account.
Is Coachful HIPAA compliant?
No. Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a business associate agreement. Keep clinical records and insurance billing in a clinical system, and use Coachful for coaching programs, habits and check-ins.
Can clients sync a Fitbit, Garmin or Apple Watch?
Not with Coachful. There is no Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop or Oura sync, and Apple Health sync is not publicly available. Clients report steps, sleep and other numbers through habits and check-ins.
Which health coaching apps have no native mobile app?
Paperbell and CoachAccountable have no native mobile app according to older vendor profiles, so clients use a mobile browser. Circle and Mighty Networks offer branded apps only on their custom-priced top plans.
What is Coachful's free white-glove service?
It is a done-for-you build included on every plan. You describe a program, course outline, coaching flow, website, funnel or email sequence, attach references, and the Coachful team builds it in your account, usually within about 24 hours. It does not include recording videos, logo design or ongoing marketing.
How much does a health coaching client app cost?
It ranges from free tiers for a handful of clients (Everfit, Practice Better) to around $179 a month for course platforms like Kajabi, as listed in October 2026. Coachful's plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients.
Can I run group health programs and 1:1 clients in the same app?
In Coachful, yes. Group program enrollment creates a cohort with a feed and group chat automatically, while each client keeps a private record with their own habits, goals and check-ins. Community tools like Skool and Circle handle groups but not private per-client plans.
When should a health coach refer a client instead of coaching?
Refer when a client reports symptoms such as chest pain or fainting, signs of disordered eating, thoughts of self-harm, a new diagnosis, or wants to change medication. Coaching supports behavior change alongside medical care, not in place of it.
