7 Best Community Platforms for ADHD Coaches (2026 Guide)

The best community platforms for ADHD coaches do more than host a feed. They remind clients before the co-working call, keep the weekly plan one tap away, and let you see who has gone quiet before that client drifts out of the program. The deciding question is simple: can one login carry an ADHD client from the first free resource to the renewal conversation without asking them to juggle five apps?

Our pick is Coachful, because the community sits in the same place as booking, payments, agreements, habits, check-ins and reminders, so an ADHD client has one app to open and you have one record to read. Below we rank seven platforms by the stage of the client journey they actually cover, show what each costs at 5, 15 and 40 clients, and give you two stack recipes you can copy. We make Coachful, so we have stated our ranking criteria plainly and kept every competitor fact to what the vendors list.

What do ADHD coaches need from a community platform?

ADHD coaches need a community that lowers friction for clients who struggle with starting, remembering and returning. That means fewer logins, timely reminders, visible next steps and a private route back in after a missed week, not just a busy feed.

A typical ADHD coaching practice mixes formats that most community tools treat separately. You might run a weekly group call on planning, a few co-working or body-doubling sessions where members work quietly on camera together, 1:1 sessions for a smaller set of clients, and a library of short videos and worksheets. Some coaches work with adults, some with college students, and many with parents of children with ADHD. Each group needs a different space, and members of one group often should not see the others.

Three ADHD-specific design questions shape every choice in this guide:

• Does the platform remind people, or wait for them to remember? Many ADHD clients describe time blindness. A community that only works when someone opens it on their own will be quiet by week three.
• Is the next action visible on one screen? A feed full of posts can bury the one task that matters today. Clients benefit when their habits, check-in and next call sit together.
• Is there a private path back? Some adults with ADHD describe strong reactions to perceived criticism. A public leaderboard can motivate some members and shame others. You want both public spaces and quiet, private check-ins.

Scope line. ADHD coaching is not treatment. Coaches do not diagnose ADHD, adjust medication or treat co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety or substance use. Refer a client to a doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist when they ask about diagnosis or medication, when symptoms are getting worse, or when you see signs of a mental health crisis. The National Institute of Mental Health's ADHD overview is a useful, neutral page to share, and the ICF Code of Ethics sets out a coach's duty to refer when another professional is a better fit. Whichever platform you choose, keep clinical records in a clinical system; none of the tools here should be treated as a medical record.

What does each stage of the ADHD client journey need?

Split the journey into attract, enroll, deliver and retain, and the gaps in most community tools become obvious: they handle delivery in a group well and leave the rest to other apps.

Attract: a resource that works for a distracted reader

ADHD audiences respond to short, practical lead magnets: a one-page morning routine, a five-minute weekly reset, a "start the task" checklist. You need a landing page that delivers it, an email sequence that follows up in small doses, and ideally a social path, such as a keyword comment on Instagram that sends the resource by DM. If you are still working out where clients come from, our guide to platforms to get clients for ADHD coaches covers the channels.

Enroll: as few steps as possible between "yes" and the first call

Every extra step between interest and payment is a place an ADHD prospect can stall. The best setup is one page that books a discovery call with intake questions, sends a reminder by text, then sells the program with a payment plan and a coaching agreement signed before session one.

Deliver: structure between sessions

This is where community platforms usually shine, and where ADHD coaching asks for more than a feed. Clients need weekly goals broken into daily tasks, habits they can tick off, a short morning or evening check-in, recurring co-working calls, and a cohort space for the group. You need to see all of it per client.

Retain: catch the quiet weeks early

Drop-off in ADHD programs is rarely a clean decision to leave. It usually starts with one missed check-in. A platform that flags quiet or at-risk clients and lets you reach out privately protects both the client's progress and your renewals.

Which stages does each platform cover?

The table below maps each platform to the four stages using what each vendor documents. "Partial" means the stage is possible but relies on a second tool or a workaround.

How did we rank these community platforms?

We ranked on four things that matter most for ADHD coaching, in this order: one login for the whole client journey, between-session delivery (habits, check-ins, reminders), total stack cost once you add the tools a platform lacks, and setup effort, including whether someone will build it for you.

We did not run hands-on tests for this guide. Feature and price facts come from each vendor's own pages as listed in October 2026, and ratings are the public Trustpilot scores we saw that month. Where a vendor does not list something, we say so instead of guessing.

Ranking criteria: one login across attract, enroll, deliver and retain; between-session structure for ADHD clients; total monthly cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients; setup effort.

1. Coachful: the whole ADHD client journey behind one login

Coachful is a coaching platform where the community lives next to everything else an ADHD client touches: their program, habits, check-ins, sessions, payments and messages. One subscription covers booking, payments, contracts, program delivery, courses, a community, a website with funnels and email, and an AI assistant. The coach has one login; the client opens one app with your branding inside it.

For ADHD coaching, that single app is the main point. A client who has to remember a community tool, a scheduler, a course site and an email thread is being asked to do the exact executive-function work they hired you to help with. In Coachful, the feed, the next call and today's habits are in the same place.

Community spaces that match how ADHD groups actually run

The community includes a feed, group chat, direct messages and video events. When a client enrolls in a program, Coachful creates the cohort group automatically, so your eight-week "Focus and Follow-Through" cohort gets its own space without manual setup. Parents of children with ADHD can sit in one group and adult clients in another, each tied to the program they bought. Group calls and webinars run from the same place, which suits weekly planning calls and co-working sessions.

Between-session structure, not just posts

Programs run over multiple weeks with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals with progress bars and streaks. For an ADHD client, a morning check-in that asks "what is the one thing today?" and an evening one that asks "what got in the way?" often does more than another forum thread. You configure these as coaching flows and they arrive in the client's app.

Reminders are the other half. Coachful sends email reminders for sessions, plus SMS 24 hours before and WhatsApp one hour before once messaging is enabled. For clients who lose track of time, that one-hour WhatsApp nudge before a body-doubling call is the difference between attending and apologising.

Here is a short walkthrough of how check-ins are set up:

Seeing who is drifting

Each client record holds goals, check-ins, habits, notes, intake answers, tags, payments and sessions, with a status of thriving, active, quiet or at risk. When a client slips from active to quiet, you see it and can send a private direct message instead of calling them out in the group. Michelle, the built-in AI assistant, works from that live practice data and can brief you before each session, summarise recorded sessions and draft follow-up messages. Questions and planning with Michelle are included in your Coachful membership; confirmed builds and changes use AI credits.

You can also set up an AI Coach: an AI version of you that selected clients can chat with between sessions. For a client stuck at 9 pm on "where do I even start this report", that can help. Configure it carefully and keep it to coaching support, not mental health advice.

Selling and enrolling without extra tools

Booking pages handle availability, buffers, minimum notice and time-zone detection, with intake questions on booking and two-way Google, Apple and Outlook calendar sync. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account with one-time payments, subscriptions, payment plans, coupons and Apple Pay or Google Pay. Coaching agreements are e-signed before the first call and stored on the client record (more on coaching contracts). The website builder, lead-magnet funnels, email sequences, a social planner and Instagram keyword automations cover the attract stage. If you hold an ICF credential or are working toward one, Coachful counts coaching hours and clients against ACC, PCC and MCC thresholds (ICF hour tracking).

Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, the "We'll build it for you · FREE" card lets you describe what you want built: a website, a lead-magnet funnel, a program, a course outline, a check-in flow, an email sequence or a webinar page. You can attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files, such as your logo, photos and existing copy. The Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours, and leaves gaps for you instead of inventing credentials, testimonials or prices. It does not include recording your videos, logo design, ads or ongoing marketing. For an ADHD coach who knows exactly how their program should feel but keeps putting off the setup, that removes the hardest part. Read more about the free white-glove service.

Where Coachful is not the right fit

Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA, so it is not the place for clinical notes or insurance billing. It has no PayPal and no permanent free plan. The client app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not under your own App Store account. It is not a course marketplace, and it has no third-party plugins. If you need a public community of thousands of strangers with a discovery directory, a community-only tool may suit you better.

Who it suits: ADHD coaches who deliver programs rather than single sessions, solo coaches growing into a small team, and anyone replacing four to six tools. How to start: take a free trial, then request a white-glove build of your site or first program. 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). See how it maps to your niche on the Coachful for ADHD coaches page.

2. Circle: deep community structure, separate coaching back office

Circle is a dedicated community platform with courses, events, live streams and paid memberships. It suits ADHD coaches whose business is mostly a large membership, for example a paid community for adults with ADHD with themed spaces for work, home and money.

Its strength is organisation. You can split a membership into many spaces, which helps an ADHD audience that gets overwhelmed by one long feed: a "wins" space, a "stuck right now" space, a space for weekly co-working times, and a resources space. Events and live streams sit inside the platform, so recurring group calls have a home. Professional, Business and Scale plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, as listed in October 2026.

Pricing as listed in October 2026: Professional at $89 per month billed annually (3 admins, 10 moderators, 2,500 AI credits a month), Business at $199 per month billed annually, and Scale at $419 per month billed annually. Circle Plus is custom-priced. Circle takes a platform fee on payments of 2% on Professional and 1% on Business and Scale, plus Stripe processing.

The gaps show up in the deliver and retain stages for 1:1 work. Circle has no 1:1 scheduling or client management back office, and no per-client habits, check-ins or coaching plans. So the client who needs a daily check-in and a reminder before their 1:1 will be using another tool for those, and you will be reading two sets of records to know how they are doing. Branded mobile apps are only on custom-priced Circle Plus. Circle's Trustpilot score was 4.1 from 129 reviews when we checked in October 2026.

For a group-only membership with no 1:1s, those gaps matter less. For a mixed practice, add a scheduler, an e-signature tool and a check-in method, and the cost and the number of logins climb.

Pick it over Coachful if your offer is a large, membership-only community with many topic spaces, you do almost no 1:1 coaching, and you are comfortable running booking and client tracking in separate tools.

3. Mighty Networks: a member app and livestreams for bigger groups

Mighty Networks combines community, courses and events, with Mighty-branded member apps. For ADHD coaches, the appeal is that members get a phone app for the community, so the group is one tap away.

Livestreaming is built in, with allowances that scale by plan: 20 hours a month for up to 100 attendees on Launch, 30 hours for 200 on Scale, and 40 hours for 1,000 on Growth, as listed in October 2026. That covers a weekly group call and a couple of co-working blocks for a modest cohort. A 14-day free trial with no credit card required includes Growth plan features.

Pricing as listed: Launch at $95 per month or $79 per month billed annually (3 hosts, 10 moderators, 200 GB storage), Scale at $215 per month or $179 per month billed annually, and Growth at $354 per month billed annually. Mighty Pro, which gives you your own branded apps, is custom-priced. Mighty takes a platform fee of 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale and 0.5% on Growth and Mighty Pro, plus Stripe processing.

The limits for ADHD coaching sit in the same place as Circle's. Mighty Networks has no 1:1 scheduling, invoicing or contracts, and no per-client habits, check-ins or private coaching plans. A parent coaching client who needs a private weekly plan and a booked 1:1 will have that live elsewhere. The member app carries Mighty's branding unless you move to Mighty Pro. Its Trustpilot score was 3.3 from 219 reviews in October 2026.

If your model is a large group program, such as a twelve-week course for parents of children with ADHD with weekly live teaching and peer discussion, Mighty Networks handles that delivery well. Plan the enroll and retain stages in other tools from the start.

Pick it over Coachful if you run large live group programs, want generous livestream hours, and your clients need a community app but not private 1:1 plans, habits or agreements.

4. Skool: the cheapest start, with a fee that grows as you do

Skool puts a community, a classroom and a calendar in one group, with gamified leaderboards that reward posting and engagement. It is the lowest entry price in this list, which makes it popular with new ADHD coaches testing a paid group.

The single-group design is easy to understand, which matters for ADHD members: there is one feed, one classroom and one calendar. Unlimited members, courses, videos and live calls are included on both plans as listed in October 2026.

The leaderboard deserves careful thought for this audience. Points and levels give some ADHD members a dopamine-friendly reason to come back. For others, especially those prone to comparing themselves or who already feel behind, a public ranking can become another place they feel they are failing. If you choose Skool, talk about it openly with your group and frame it as optional.

Pricing as listed in October 2026: Hobby at $9 per month ($7.50 billed annually) and Pro at $99 per month ($82.50 billed annually). The fees are where costs change. Hobby charges 10% + 30¢ on all transactions; Pro charges 2.9% + 30¢ up to $899 and 3.9% + 30¢ above $900. Payments go only through Skool Payments, with weekly payouts on Wednesdays. Skool's pricing page shows "Try for free" buttons, but trial length and card terms were not stated when we checked.

Beyond the community, Skool has no custom-domain website, funnels, email automation or public API, and no 1:1 client records, intake forms, habits or check-ins. Its Trustpilot score was 1.6 from 54 reviews in October 2026. You will need separate tools to attract, enroll and track individual clients, and a separate way to send session reminders.

Pick it over Coachful if you want to test a small, low-cost paid group before building a full practice, your members like gamified engagement, and you accept the per-transaction fees and the extra tools for everything outside the group.

5. Kajabi: a course business with a community attached

Kajabi is a course, community, website, funnel and email platform for selling knowledge products. Its fit for ADHD coaches is strongest when the main offer is a self-paced course, for example "ADHD-Friendly Time Management", and the community is the support layer around it.

Kajabi covers attract and enroll better than the pure community tools in this list: you get a website, funnels, email and checkout in one account. That suits a coach who sells a course to a large email list and adds a members-only community for questions and live Q&A.

Pricing as listed in October 2026: Basic at $179 per month or $143 per month billed annually (5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 community, 0 AI credits), Growth at $249 per month or $199 billed annually (50 products, 25,000 contacts, 1 community), and Pro at $499 per month or $399 billed annually (3 communities). On Kajabi Payments in the US, processing is 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, falling slightly on higher plans; using another processor (other than PayPal) adds a 2%, 1% or 0.5% Kajabi fee depending on plan. The standard trial is 14 days; a card is optional, and some features stay locked until a paid plan starts.

The ADHD-specific gap is daily structure. Kajabi has no habit tracking or daily client check-ins, and coaching is organised as products and communities rather than per-client plans. A client in a twelve-week program will see the course and the community, but not a personal plan with today's task and a streak. The single community on Basic and Growth also means mixing adults and parents of children with ADHD in one community unless you upgrade. Kajabi's Trustpilot score was 3.4 from 2,347 reviews in October 2026.

Compare course options in our guide to course platforms for ADHD coaches.

Pick it over Coachful if your revenue comes mostly from self-paced courses sold to a large list, the community is secondary, and you do not need per-client habits, check-ins or private plans.

6. Podia: a simple storefront that includes a community

Podia is a straightforward storefront for courses, downloads, webinars, coaching sessions and a community. For a new ADHD coach selling a few digital products, its simplicity is the attraction: fewer settings means fewer decisions to stall on.

A coach could sell a "Weekly Reset" worksheet pack, a short course on task initiation, and a monthly membership with community spaces, all from one storefront. Community spaces are included on every plan, from 25 on Mover to 100 on Shaker and unlimited on Earthquaker, as listed in October 2026. Podia offers a 14-day trial with full access and no credit card or plan selection required.

Pricing as listed: Mover at $49 per month or $42 billed annually, Shaker at $99 per month or $84 billed annually, and Earthquaker at $179 per month or $150 billed annually. Mover adds a 5% Podia transaction fee; Shaker and Earthquaker charge 0%, with Stripe or PayPal processing on top.

The limits are clear. Email subscriber allowances are small (100, 500 and 1,000 included across the three plans), which is tight for an ADHD coach building a list through a lead magnet. Podia has no mobile app and, according to older profiles, no native video calls, so group calls and co-working sessions run in a separate video tool and members follow links. There are no client habits, check-ins or per-client plans. Podia's Trustpilot score was 4.1 from 153 reviews in October 2026.

For ADHD members specifically, the lack of an app and native calls means more links to keep track of. Podia works best as a shop with a community, not as the place where weekly accountability happens.

Pick it over Coachful if you mainly sell a handful of digital products and a light community, want the simplest possible storefront, and run calls and accountability somewhere else.

7. Thinkific: course-first, with communities as an add-on layer

Thinkific is a course platform with communities, memberships and coaching or webinar products. It suits ADHD coaches who already run structured courses, such as a certification-style program for ADHD-informed educators, and want communities alongside them.

Course delivery is the strength: the Start plan includes up to 10,000 current students and one community with 10 spaces, while Grow allows three communities and Expand ten. Live community events are capped at 5 on Start. A 30-day free trial is offered on every self-serve plan, as listed in October 2026.

Pricing as listed: Start at $109 per month or $82 billed annually, Grow at $219 per month or $164 billed annually, and Expand at $499 per month or $374 billed annually, with custom Plus pricing. Prices rose about 10% on August 13, 2026. Thinkific's pricing page showed euro prices from our location. Thinkific charges no transaction fee on Thinkific Payments; third-party gateways carry an extra per-plan fee that is not listed on the page. A branded mobile app is a $199 per month add-on.

For ADHD coaching, Thinkific has the same structural gaps as other course-led tools. It has no built-in 1:1 scheduling (older profiles describe external booking links), and no client habits, daily check-ins or per-client plans. The cap of five live community events on Start is tight if you run weekly co-working sessions. Its Trustpilot score was 1.8 from 868 reviews in October 2026.

Pick it over Coachful if your business is built around formal, multi-module courses for many students, community is a secondary feature, and 1:1 coaching is rare or handled elsewhere.

How do the features compare side by side?

This matrix covers the features that matter most for ADHD coaching. "Not listed" means the vendor does not document it in the sources we used.

Should you go all-in-one or assemble a stack?

For most ADHD coaches, all-in-one wins, because every extra tool is another login for your clients and another place for information to fall through. An assembled stack makes sense only when one stage, such as a very large community, matters far more than the rest.

Recipe A: all-in-one in Coachful

• Attract: website with a free "ADHD Weekly Reset" lead magnet, a three-email welcome sequence, and an Instagram automation that sends the resource when someone comments a keyword.
• Enroll: discovery-call booking with intake questions, then a program checkout with a payment plan and an e-signed agreement.
• Deliver: an eight-week program with a cohort group, weekly planning call, two co-working sessions a week, a morning and evening check-in, and three habits.
• Retain: watch the quiet and at-risk statuses each Friday and send a private message; offer a monthly maintenance membership at the end.

Monthly software cost: one plan (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), with a 0% platform fee and only Stripe or Razorpay processing on your sales.

Recipe B: assembled around a community tool

• A community platform (Circle, Mighty Networks or Skool) for the feed and group calls.
• A separate scheduler for discovery and 1:1 calls, with its own reminders.
• An e-signature tool for agreements.
• An email marketing tool for the lead magnet and nurture sequence (see our email platforms for ADHD coaches).
• A habit or check-in method, often a form or a spreadsheet you review weekly.

Each of those add-ons has its own price, which we have not included below because they vary widely. Your clients will use at least two of them.

What does each option cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients?

The table shows the community platform's listed plan price plus its own platform fee, using an illustrative example of each client paying $150 a month for a group program. Card processing is excluded except for Skool, whose listed rate is its all-in payments fee. The scheduler, e-signature and email tools in Recipe B are not included.

Two things stand out. Percentage fees grow with your practice, so Skool Hobby that looks cheapest at the start becomes the most expensive option at 40 clients in this example. And the flat course platforms look affordable only until you add the scheduler, e-signature tool and check-in method they lack.

How do you set this up step by step in Coachful?

Here is how an ADHD coach running a group program with optional 1:1s could set things up in an afternoon, or hand most of it to the white-glove team.

1. Request the build. Open Create and use the free white-glove card. Describe your program ("eight-week focus cohort for adults with ADHD, weekly planning call, two co-working sessions"), attach your logo and any existing worksheets, and ask for a website and a lead-magnet funnel.
2. Set up the program. Add weekly goals broken into two or three daily tasks. Keep tasks small and concrete: "open the document and write one sentence" beats "work on the report".
3. Add check-ins. Create a morning check-in with one question about today's priority and an evening one about what got in the way. Short is better; three questions at most.
4. Choose habits. Pick no more than three per client, such as a daily planning minute, an "evening reset", and a movement break. Streaks show progress without needing a public leaderboard.
5. Schedule recurring calls. Set up the weekly group call and co-working sessions, and turn on SMS and WhatsApp reminders once messaging is enabled.
6. Prepare enrollment. Create a discovery-call booking page with intake questions, a checkout with a payment plan, and an agreement that includes your scope line and when you refer to a clinician.
7. Open the community. The cohort group appears when clients enroll. Pin a "start here" post with the three things to do in week one, and set up a separate space for parents if you coach them.
8. Review weekly. Each Friday, check client statuses and message anyone marked quiet or at risk privately.

For more on group formats, see group coaching platforms for ADHD coaches and our overview of group coaching software.

How do you move your ADHD community to a new platform?

Move in a planned window, keep the old space read-only for a few weeks, and give members one clear instruction instead of a list. Change is hard for many ADHD clients, so the migration itself should model the structure you teach.

• Pick a natural break. Switch between cohorts or at the start of a month, not halfway through a program.
• Export first. Download member lists, course files and worksheets from your current tool. In Coachful, clients, programs and content are imported for you during onboarding.
• Send one message with one link. Tell members where to go, what to do first and when the old space closes. Repeat it by email, in the old community and on your next call.
• Run a live "move-in" call. A 20-minute co-working session where everyone logs in together turns the move into a body-doubling exercise.
• Check payments carefully. Recurring subscriptions often need to be recreated on the new platform. Tell members exactly when the old charge stops and the new one starts.
• Keep the old space read-only. Some members will need to find an old post. Leave it visible for a few weeks before closing it.

If you are moving from a broader tool, the generic guide to the community platform for coaches and our comparison of community platforms for life coaches cover the same steps in other contexts.

Which community platform should ADHD coaches choose?

Choose Coachful if your clients need structure between sessions and you want the community, check-ins, reminders, 1:1s, payments and agreements in one app with one login. That covers most ADHD coaches who run programs. Choose Circle or Mighty Networks if you run a large group-only membership and are happy to add separate tools for 1:1 work. Skool is a low-cost way to test a small paid group, as long as you watch the per-transaction fees and think carefully about public leaderboards. Kajabi, Podia and Thinkific make sense when courses or digital products are the main business and the community is a support feature.

Whichever you choose, keep your scope clear, refer clients for diagnosis and medication questions, and keep clinical information out of your coaching platform.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best community platform for ADHD coaches?

For most ADHD coaches, Coachful is the strongest choice because the community sits alongside habits, check-ins, reminders, booking and payments in one branded app. Circle and Mighty Networks are good options for large group-only memberships. Skool is the cheapest place to test a small paid group.

Is a gamified community like Skool a good idea for ADHD clients?

It depends on the group. Points and leaderboards can motivate some ADHD members and discourage others who already feel behind. If you use them, make participation optional and offer a private way to check in as well.

Can I run body-doubling or co-working sessions on these platforms?

Yes, on any platform with live calls or events. Coachful, Circle, Mighty Networks and Skool list live calls or events, while Podia relies on a separate video tool. Whatever you choose, send a reminder before each session.

Do I need a HIPAA-compliant platform for ADHD coaching?

Coaching is not medical treatment, and Coachful is not HIPAA-certified, so do not store clinical records or diagnoses in it. If you are also a licensed clinician providing treatment, use a clinical system for that work. Check your obligations with an attorney where you practise.

What is Coachful's free white-glove service?

From Create, you describe what you want built, such as a website, funnel, program or check-in flow, and attach up to 8 links and 10 files. The Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. It does not include recording videos, logo design or ongoing marketing.

How should I separate adult clients from parents of children with ADHD?

Use separate groups or spaces tied to each program. In Coachful, a cohort group is created when a client enrolls in a program, so each program gets its own space automatically. On other platforms, create separate spaces and set access by membership.

How do I stop clients disappearing mid-program?

Use short daily check-ins, reminders before every call, and a weekly review of who has gone quiet. Reach out privately rather than in the group. Coachful marks clients as thriving, active, quiet or at risk so you can see drift early.

Which platform is cheapest for a new ADHD coach?

Skool Hobby has the lowest listed plan price at $9 per month, but its 10% + 30¢ fee on every transaction grows quickly as you add paying members. Compare total cost at your expected client count, including the extra tools you will need for booking, agreements and email.

Can I sell courses and run a community on the same platform?

Yes. Coachful, Kajabi, Podia, Thinkific, Circle and Mighty Networks all combine courses and community in some form. The difference is whether daily structure, 1:1 booking and agreements are included or need separate tools.

When should an ADHD coach refer a client elsewhere?

Refer when a client asks about diagnosis or medication, when symptoms are getting worse, or when you notice signs of depression, anxiety, substance misuse or a crisis. Coaching works alongside clinical care, not instead of it.
