Best Software for Intimacy Coaches: 10 Picks, Ranked for 2026

The best software for intimacy coaches is the tool that keeps a very private client relationship in one discreet place: booking, a signed coaching agreement, payment, and the practice your clients do between sessions. Intimacy coaching is mostly that in-between work. Couples try a touch exercise on Tuesday, write a reflection on Thursday, and bring what came up to the next call. So the question that decides your pick is simple: where does that between-session practice live, and how many logins does a nervous new client need to reach it?
Our pick is Coachful, because it puts booking, agreements, payments, multi-week programs with habits and check-ins, courses and a private community behind one login for you and one branded app for your clients. We make Coachful, so read our ranking with that in mind. We have tried to stay factual about the other nine tools, and each one ends with the situation where it is the better choice.
Below you will find what intimacy coaches actually need from software, an at-a-glance table, how we ranked, a section on each tool, a feature matrix, a cost table at 5, 15 and 40 clients, and a worked Coachful setup for a couples program.
What do intimacy coaches need from software?
Intimacy coaches need privacy, a clear agreement before the first session, and a structured way to deliver exercises between calls. Everything else (a website, email, a group program) sits on top of those three.
Look at how the work actually runs. A typical client journey for an intimacy coach looks something like this:
- Discovery. A person or couple finds you through a podcast, a referral or a search, reads your site and books a free consultation. Many will hesitate for weeks before booking, so a gentle lead magnet (a short guide or a reflection worksheet) matters.
- Intake and agreement. Before the first paid session you collect intake answers, explain scope, and get a signed coaching agreement. For couples, that often means two people agreeing to the same terms.
- Sessions. Usually video calls, sometimes in person. Clients rarely want reminders that say "intimacy coaching" on their lock screen, so neutral session names help.
- Between-session practice. This is where change happens: sensate-focus style exercises, communication scripts, journaling prompts, daily connection rituals and short check-ins about mood, desire or stress. If you want examples, our guide to emotional intimacy coaching exercises covers six practical options.
- Group or course work. Many intimacy coaches add a cohort program for couples, a women's circle, or a self-paced course to reach people who cannot afford ongoing 1:1 work.
- Renewal or graduation. A package ends; some clients renew, others move to a lighter membership.
Privacy and data sensitivity
Notes about someone's sex life are among the most sensitive data a coach can hold. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, data concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation is a special category of personal data under Article 9, with stricter conditions for processing (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, EUR-Lex). In practice, that means keeping notes minimal and factual, collecting only what you need at intake, getting explicit consent, and choosing software where you can export or delete a client's data on request. If you work in other countries, check the local rules with an attorney.
Scope: coaching is not therapy or medical care
Intimacy coaching supports communication, connection, confidence and pleasure. It is not diagnosis or treatment. The World Health Organization describes sexual health as physical, emotional, mental and social wellbeing in relation to sexuality, not just the absence of disease (WHO, sexual health), and that wide picture is exactly why scope matters. Refer to a doctor when a client reports pain, bleeding, erectile or arousal changes that might have a medical cause, or medication side effects. Refer to a licensed therapist or certified sex therapist when you see trauma responses, abuse, coercion, compulsive patterns, or severe anxiety or depression. The ICF Code of Ethics asks coaches to be clear about the limits of coaching and to refer when another professional is better placed (ICF Code of Ethics). Put your scope line in your agreement and on your intake form, and choose software that lets you send both before the first call.
One more practical point: none of the coaching platforms in this list, Coachful included, are built for clinical record-keeping. If you are a licensed clinician who also coaches, keep clinical notes in a clinical system.
Which intimacy coaching software is best at a glance?
How we ranked: one login for the whole client journey, between-session practice delivery, total monthly stack cost, privacy controls, and how much setup work you face (including whether someone will build it for you).

Vendor prices are as listed on each vendor's pricing page in October 2026, monthly billing unless noted.
How did we choose these tools?
We pictured one concrete practice and asked what it would need. Our example coach has 15 active clients: nine individuals and three couples on 12-week 1:1 packages, plus one eight-week group program for couples that runs twice a year. They take payments by card, send a coaching agreement before every first session, and want clients to log a short evening check-in and two or three connection habits each week.
For each tool we read the vendor's own pricing page and documentation and, where available, public review ratings (Trustpilot figures seen in October 2026). We did not run hands-on tests. We then asked five questions:
- Can a client book, sign, pay and practise without being sent to four different websites?
- Can you assign exercises, habits and check-ins between sessions and see who is quiet?
- What does the full stack cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients, including the extra tools you would need?
- Can you export or delete a client's data, and are session reminders discreet?
- How long until the whole thing is live, and can anyone help you build it?
Tools that only do one of these (Calendly, Acuity) still made the list, because many intimacy coaches start with a booking link and grow from there. Tools that do not fit the niche, such as pure email platforms, did not.
1. Coachful: the best all-in-one software for intimacy coaches

Coachful is a coaching platform where one subscription covers booking, payments, coaching agreements, program delivery with habits and check-ins, courses, a community, a website with funnels and email, and an AI assistant. You get one login; your clients get one app with your branding. For intimacy coaches, the deciding strength is between-session delivery: you can build a 12-week couples program with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits, and morning and evening check-ins, and see each client's status (thriving, active, quiet or at risk) at a glance.
The private journey, from booking to practice
Booking pages handle availability rules, buffers, minimum notice and time-zone detection, with two-way Google, Apple/iCloud and Outlook calendar sync. Sessions run on built-in video or auto-created Zoom, Meet or Teams links. You can add intake questions on the booking form, so a new client answers your screening questions before the consultation. Reminders go out by email, plus SMS 24 hours before and WhatsApp one hour before once messaging is enabled. Because you name your own session types, you can call a session "1:1 Session" instead of anything more revealing.
Coaching agreements with e-signature are sent before the first call and stored on the client record. This is where your scope line, confidentiality terms and referral policy belong. You can read more on the coaching contracts page.

Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account: one-time payments, subscriptions, payment plans, order bumps, coupons, refunds, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with an invoice per transaction plus manual invoices. Since August 2026 there is no Coachful platform fee on transactions; you only pay Stripe or Razorpay processing. Coachful plans are flat monthly 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).
Between sessions: habits, check-ins and goals
Programs run for as many weeks as you set, each with weekly goals, daily tasks and habits. A couple might get a "daily six-second kiss" habit, a weekly "state of us" conversation task, and an evening check-in asking how connected they felt today. Goals carry progress bars and streaks, so clients see their own momentum.

Check-ins are built as coaching flows: a welcome flow, morning and evening check-ins, weekly flows and longer journeys. You can see the library below, and every answer lands on the client record next to your notes, intake answers, tags, payments and sessions. Before a call, Michelle (the built-in AI assistant) can brief you on what the client logged since you last spoke, and it can summarize recorded sessions. Questions and planning with Michelle are included in your Coachful membership; confirmed builds and changes use AI credits.

Here is a short walkthrough of how a client journey is set up in Coachful:
What your clients see
Clients open your branded home in the Coachful app and see their next session, their program, sessions, progress and documents in one place, including any pre-session work you have assigned. Courses (modules, lessons, drip, completion tracking), downloads, videos and worksheets are delivered into that same home, so a self-paced course on desire or communication sits next to the couple's private plan.

For group work, cohort groups are created automatically when someone enrolls in a program, with a community feed, group chat, direct messages and video events. That suits an eight-week couples cohort or a women's circle where members may want to talk with each other but keep their 1:1 notes private. See group coaching software for how cohorts work.

Marketing that stays on-brand
The section-based website builder includes a blog, custom domain, SEO settings and 30 designed homepage templates, plus booking, application, lead-magnet and checkout funnels with pixel and UTM tracking. Email lists, broadcasts and multi-step sequences (triggers, delays, branching, A/B splits) let you nurture the long-hesitating reader who downloaded your free guide months ago. If you also earn ICF credentials, Coachful counts coaching hours and distinct clients against ACC, PCC and MCC thresholds and exports a client coaching log.
Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, choose "We'll build it for you" and describe what you want: a website, a funnel, a sales page, a program, a course outline, an intake form or worksheet, an email sequence, or a link-in-bio page. You can attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files such as your logo, photos, brand guide or existing copy. The Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices, and gaps are left for you to fill. A recent example: a somatic coach leaving Kajabi had their homepage and About page rebuilt and the contact form connected. Another, a menopause and midlife health coach starting from nothing, got a five-page site with every button leading to a free 20-minute consultation. The service does not cover recording videos, logo design, ad management or ongoing marketing. Read more about the free white-glove service.
Limits to know
Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA, so it is not for clinical records or insurance billing. It is GDPR-ready, and you can export a client's full data (roster, notes, check-ins, goals, habits, sessions, form responses) as a ZIP. There is no PayPal and no permanent free plan, though there is a free trial. Your client app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not under your own App Store account. There is no Oura, Fitbit, Garmin or Whoop sync, which matters only if you track sleep or cycle data from wearables.
Who it suits: intimacy and relationship coaches who deliver programs rather than one-off calls, and anyone replacing a stack of four to six tools. Our relationship coach page shows the niche setup.
2. Kajabi: strongest for courses and a paid community

If your intimacy business leans toward education (a signature course on desire, a membership with monthly live workshops), Kajabi is the most complete course-and-community platform on this list. It combines courses, communities, a website, funnels and email marketing for selling knowledge products.
As listed in October 2026, Basic is $179/month ($143/month billed annually) with 5 products, 2,500 contacts, one community and one website. Growth is $249/month and Pro is $499/month. Using Kajabi Payments in the US costs 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction on Basic; using another processor (other than PayPal) adds a 0.5 to 2% Kajabi fee on top. Trustpilot showed 3.4 from 2,347 reviews in October 2026.
The gap for intimacy coaching is the private 1:1 layer. Kajabi treats coaching as products and communities, not per-client plans, so there are no daily habits or check-ins tied to an individual couple, and agreements need a separate e-signature tool. The Basic plan also has no AI credits. If most of your income is 1:1 and couples work, you would pay a premium for features you use lightly.
Pick it over Coachful if your business is mainly a large course or membership audience and 1:1 clients are a small side line.
3. Quenza: worksheets and exercise pathways

Quenza grew up among therapists and coaches who assign structured exercises, and that heritage shows. You build activities and worksheets, string them into pathways, and send them to clients in an app where they can respond and chat with you. For an intimacy coach with a library of reflection worksheets and communication exercises, that is a natural fit.
According to its October 2026 pricing page, Spark costs $25/month for 10 clients, Growth $50/month for 250 clients, Impact $125/month for 400, and Collective $160/month for up to three professionals and 500 clients. There is a 30-day free trial with no card. Trustpilot showed 4.3 from 8 reviews.
Payments and invoicing are marked as planned, not live, and an older profile notes no scheduling or video calls. So you would add a booking tool, a payment tool, an e-signature tool and a website. That is four logins for clients to juggle in a niche where trust and simplicity matter. There are also no courses or community features.
Pick it over Coachful if you already have booking and payments sorted and only want a dedicated worksheet and exercise app to sit alongside them.
4. Mighty Networks: for large membership communities

Some intimacy coaches build a movement: a few thousand members, monthly live events, discussion spaces for different stages of relationships. Mighty Networks is built for that scale, with communities, courses and events delivered in Mighty-branded member apps.
On its October 2026 pricing page, Launch is $95/month ($79/month annual) with 3 hosts and livestreaming up to 20 hours a month for 100 attendees, and Scale is $215/month. Mighty takes a platform fee of 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale and 0.5% on Growth and Mighty Pro, plus Stripe processing. There is a 14-day trial with no card. Your own branded apps are only on the custom-priced Mighty Pro. Trustpilot showed 3.3 from 219 reviews.
For private coaching, the gaps are clear: no 1:1 scheduling, no invoicing or contracts, and no per-client habits, check-ins or private plans. A coach with 15 individual clients would still need a separate practice tool.
Pick it over Coachful if a large, active member community is the core of your business and 1:1 coaching is secondary.
5. Paperbell: simple 1:1 packages

Paperbell is an all-in-one admin tool for solo coaches who sell 1:1 packages: booking, packages, payments, contracts, a client portal and a simple website. It does the "book, sign, pay" sequence cleanly, which covers the intake half of an intimacy coach's workflow.
There is one plan at $97/month ($80.83/month annual) as listed in October 2026, with unlimited clients, sessions, files and packages, and no extra transaction fees beyond Stripe or PayPal processing. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies. An older help-center note describes a 7-day trial with the public site offline and client messaging off. Trustpilot showed 3.5 from 14 reviews.
The other half of the workflow is missing. An older profile notes no courses, community, goal or habit tracking, and no native mobile app (mobile browser only). So the between-session practice, which is where intimacy work happens, would need another tool. If you are comparing, our Paperbell alternatives page goes deeper.
Pick it over Coachful if you only run 1:1 sessions, assign practice by email or PDF, and want a single flat price with PayPal available.
6. Practice Better: practitioner-style charting

Practice Better was built for wellness and nutrition practitioners, so it brings charting, telehealth, scheduling, billing, programs and a client portal. Intimacy coaches who also hold a health credential, or who work alongside pelvic health or nutrition professionals, may like its clinical-style structure.
As listed in October 2026, Sprout is free for 3 clients, Starter is $35/month for 10 clients, Professional is $69/month for 300 clients, and Plus is $99/month for unlimited clients. Team is $155/month for two practitioners. Evergreen programs, portal branding, a custom URL and SMS start on Plus. Trials run 14 days (30 on Team). Trustpilot showed 3.8 from 87 reviews.
Missing for this niche: no website builder or funnel pages according to an older profile, so your marketing lives somewhere else. The interface also leans toward practitioner charting rather than coaching programs with streaks and community.
Pick it over Coachful if you want a practitioner-style chart for each client and a no-cost tier for your first three clients, and you already have a website elsewhere.
7. CoachAccountable: deep action plans per client

CoachAccountable is a long-running coaching back office: sessions, action plans, metrics, worksheets, courses, invoicing and agreements. Its action plans and metrics are detailed, which suits a coach who likes to track specific commitments week by week.
Pricing is per active client. In October 2026 the page listed Starter at $20/month for 2 active clients, Level 1 at $40/month for 5, Level 2 at $70/month for 10, Level 3 at $120/month for 20, Level 4 at $250/month for 50, and Level 5 at $400/month for 100. There is a 30-day free trial with no card. Trustpilot showed 4.8 from 47 reviews, the highest rating among the coaching tools here.
The per-client model gets expensive once you add a couples cohort, because each person counts. An older profile notes no native mobile app and no landing pages, website or marketing automation. CoachAccountable also states it is not HIPAA compliant. See our CoachAccountable alternatives roundup for more.
Pick it over Coachful if you keep a small, stable 1:1 roster, value its detailed action-plan tracking above all, and do not need a website or community.
8. Acuity Scheduling: booking with intake forms

Acuity is an appointment scheduler (owned by Squarespace) with intake forms, packages and memberships. For an intimacy coach who just needs a polished booking page with screening questions, it is a solid standalone option. Notably, a HIPAA BAA is offered on its Premium plan, which matters if you are a clinician who also coaches.
On its October 2026 pricing page, Starter is $20/month ($16 annual) with one calendar, Standard $34/month with up to six calendars, and Premium $69/month with up to 36. Text reminders start on Standard. There is a 7-day trial with no card. Trustpilot showed 3.6 from 687 reviews.
Acuity has no client portal for programs, habits, check-ins or messaging, and no courses, community, website builder or email marketing. It is one piece of a stack, not the stack.
Pick it over Coachful if you need a HIPAA BAA on your scheduler and handle everything else in a clinical system.
9. Stan Store: selling from your bio link

A lot of intimacy coaches find clients through Instagram or TikTok, where a link-in-bio storefront converts well. Stan Store lets you sell digital products, courses, memberships and paid calls from that single link.
As listed in October 2026, Creator is $29/month ($25 annual) and Creator Pro is $99/month ($79 annual). Email marketing, upsells, discount codes and affiliates are only on Creator Pro. Stan takes no fee on sales beyond Stripe or PayPal processing, and there is a 14-day trial. Trustpilot showed 4.7 from 2,205 reviews.
It is a storefront, not a coaching practice. There are no contracts, invoices or client records, and no programs with tasks, habits or check-ins. You would still need a place to deliver the coaching itself.
Pick it over Coachful if you mostly sell low-cost digital products to a social following and rarely work with clients 1:1.
10. Calendly: free booking to start

Calendly is the scheduling tool many coaches start with, and its free plan (one event type, one calendar) is enough to take discovery calls on day one. Paid bookings work through your own Stripe or PayPal account.
According to its October 2026 pricing page, Standard is $10 per seat per month billed annually (monthly price not shown), with up to six calendar connections and unlimited event types. Teams is $16 per seat per month annually. Trustpilot showed 4.1 from 714 reviews.
Calendly has no client records, notes, programs, habits or check-ins, and no contracts or invoicing. Its booking questions are the only intake. It is the right tool for scheduling and nothing more. Our guide to calendar scheduling software for coaches compares it with others.
Pick it over Coachful if you are just testing demand with no-cost discovery calls and do not yet have paying clients.
How do the features compare?
Coachful is the only tool here that covers every column. Most others cover either the intake side (booking, agreements, payment) or the delivery side (exercises, courses, community), but not both.
| Tool | Booking | Payments | Agreements / e-sign | Habits and check-ins | Courses | Community | Website and funnels | Client portal or app |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Kajabi | Partial | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Quenza | No | No | No | Partial | No | No | No | Yes |
| Mighty Networks | No | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Partial | Yes |
| Paperbell | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | Partial | Yes |
| Practice Better | Yes | Yes | Partial | Partial | Partial | No | No | Yes |
| CoachAccountable | Yes | Yes | Yes | Partial | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Acuity Scheduling | Yes | Yes | Partial | No | No | No | No | No |
| Stan Store | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes | Partial | Partial | No |
| Calendly | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No |
"Partial" means the feature exists in a limited form: for example, Acuity's intake forms instead of signed agreements, CoachAccountable's action plans and metrics instead of daily habits, or a simple site instead of a full website with funnels.
What will each tool cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients?
At 15 clients, most single-purpose tools look cheap until you add the other tools they need. The table shows each vendor's own listed monthly price for the smallest plan that covers that many clients, as listed in October 2026. Processing fees (Stripe and similar) are extra everywhere.
| Tool | 5 clients | 15 clients | 40 clients | What you still need to add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients | Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients | Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients | Nothing for the core journey |
| Kajabi | $179 (Basic) | $179 | $179 | E-signature, 1:1 practice tracking |
| Quenza | $25 (Spark) | $50 (Growth) | $50 | Booking, payments, e-signature, website |
| Mighty Networks | $95 + 2% fee | $95 + 2% fee | $95 + 2% fee | Booking, contracts, 1:1 practice tool |
| Paperbell | $97 | $97 | $97 | Habits and check-ins, courses, community |
| Practice Better | $35 (Starter) | $69 (Professional) | $69 | Website and funnels; Plus ($99) for branding |
| CoachAccountable | $40 (Level 1) | $120 (Level 3) | $250 (Level 4) | Website, email, community |
| Acuity Scheduling | $20 (Starter) | $20 | $20 | Everything beyond booking |
| Stan Store | $29 (Creator) | $29 | $29 | Contracts, client records, delivery |
| Calendly | $0 to $10/seat (annual) | $10/seat (annual) | $10/seat (annual) | Everything beyond booking |
As an example of stacking: a coach on Acuity Starter ($20) plus Quenza Growth ($50) plus Stan Store Creator ($29) pays $99 a month and still has no e-signature or community, and clients log into three places. That is the stack-cost and login problem our ranking weighs most.
How would you set up an intimacy coaching practice in Coachful?
Here is a worked setup for our example coach: individual and couples 1:1 packages plus an eight-week couples cohort. You can build it yourself or ask the white-glove team to build the pieces.

- Write your scope line and agreement. Draft a coaching agreement covering confidentiality, what coaching is and is not, when you refer out, cancellation terms, and how you store and delete data. Upload it as an agreement template so it is sent for e-signature before every first session. For couples, make sure both partners have signed before the first call.
- Create a neutral free consultation. Set up a 20-minute session type with a plain name such as "Free Consultation", buffers, and minimum notice. Add three intake questions: what brings you here, whether you are working with a therapist or doctor, and whether you are joining alone or as a couple. The client experiences a calm booking page in their own time zone and a reminder that says nothing sensitive.
- Build the 1:1 offer. Create a 12-week package with a payment plan option through your Stripe account. Use a price you have worked out from your hours, costs and market rather than copying someone else's. The client pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and gets an invoice automatically.
- Build the program. Create a 12-week program with weekly goals (for example, Week 1: "Name what connection looks like for each of us"), daily tasks (a five-minute check-in conversation), and two or three habits (a daily appreciation, a weekly date). Add your own audio guides or PDF worksheets as resources. If you want a head start, Michelle can draft the program outline from your description, which you then edit.
- Add check-ins. Turn on an evening check-in with two or three short questions (how connected did you feel today, what got in the way, anything to bring to the next session). The client gets a gentle prompt in the app, answers in under a minute, and sees their streak build.
- Set up the cohort. Create the eight-week couples program as a group offer. When couples enroll, Coachful creates the cohort group automatically, with a community feed and video events for weekly live sessions. Members can chat in the group while their 1:1 data stays private.
- Publish your site and lead magnet. Pick a homepage template, add your About page and scope statement, and create a lead-magnet funnel for a free guide, followed by a short email sequence. Or use the white-glove service and send your logo, photos and existing copy.
- Review weekly. Open the client list each Monday. Anyone marked quiet or at risk gets a short personal message. Before each session, read the AI briefing and the latest check-ins.

From the client's side, the whole experience is one link to book, one agreement to sign, one checkout, and one branded app for sessions, practice, check-ins and group work. For more niche setups, see our guides for relationship coaches and somatic and embodiment coaches.
What mistakes should intimacy coaches avoid when choosing software?
The biggest mistake is choosing tools for the sales side and leaving the between-session practice to email and PDFs. Other common mistakes:
- Storing more detail than you need. Write short, factual notes. Sensitive specifics rarely help the next session and add risk if anything is ever exposed.
- Skipping the agreement. A signed agreement with your scope line protects both you and the client, and it is the right place to explain when you will refer to a doctor or therapist. See our comparison of e-signature software for coaches if you use a separate tool.
- Revealing reminders. Session names appear in calendar invites, SMS and lock-screen notifications. Keep them neutral.
- Stacking four logins. Each extra login is a point where a hesitant client drops off. Count the tools a client must touch before choosing.
- Paying per client for group work. Per-active-client pricing can double when a couples cohort starts, because each partner counts.
- Treating coaching software as clinical software. If you diagnose or treat, you need a clinical system with the right compliance. Coaching platforms are not that.
- Ignoring exports. Check that you can export or delete a client's data when they ask. Under GDPR, that is a right your clients have.
What is our verdict?
For most intimacy coaches, Coachful is the best choice because it keeps the whole private journey, from booking and agreement to daily practice, check-ins and group work, behind one login and one branded app, with no Coachful fee on payments and a free white-glove build to get started. Kajabi and Mighty Networks are better if you are building a large course or community audience. Quenza is the strongest pure exercise tool. Paperbell and Practice Better suit coaches who mainly need clean 1:1 admin. Acuity, Stan Store and Calendly are good single pieces for a very early practice.
If you are still deciding between platforms, our related guides on the best platform for intimacy coaches and the best app for intimacy coaches look at the same niche from different angles.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for intimacy coaches?
For coaches who deliver 1:1 and couples programs, Coachful is our pick because booking, agreements, payments, habits, check-ins, courses and community share one login and one branded client app. If your business is mainly a course or membership audience, Kajabi or Mighty Networks may fit better.
Is Coachful HIPAA compliant?
No. Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA, so it is not meant for clinical records or insurance billing. It is GDPR-ready and lets you export a client's full data as a ZIP. If you are a licensed clinician, keep clinical notes in a clinical system.
How should intimacy coaches handle client privacy?
Collect only what you need, keep notes short and factual, get explicit consent in your agreement, and use neutral session names in reminders. In the EU, data about someone's sex life is special category data under GDPR Article 9, so check the rules that apply to you with an attorney.
When should an intimacy coach refer a client out?
Refer to a doctor for pain, bleeding, possible medical causes of arousal or erection changes, or medication side effects. Refer to a licensed therapist or certified sex therapist for trauma, abuse, coercion, compulsive patterns or severe mental health symptoms. State this in your agreement before the first session.
Can I run a couples program in Coachful?
Yes. You can build a multi-week program with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits and check-ins, and send a coaching agreement for e-signature before the first call. Group programs create a cohort group automatically on enrollment, with a feed, chat and video events.
What is Coachful's free white-glove service?
It is a free build service on every plan. From Create, you describe what you want built (a website, funnel, program, course outline, form or email sequence), attach up to 8 links and 10 files, and the Coachful team builds it in your account, usually within about 24 hours. It does not include video recording, logo design or ad management.
Does Coachful take a cut of my payments?
No. Since August 2026 Coachful charges no platform fee on transactions. You connect your own Stripe or Razorpay account and pay only their processing fees. Coachful does not support PayPal.
Is there a free plan for intimacy coaches?
Coachful has a free trial but no permanent free plan. Among the other tools, Practice Better has a free plan for 3 clients and Calendly has a free plan with one event type, as listed in October 2026. Both cover only part of the workflow.
Can clients use their own app with my branding?
In Coachful, clients use the Coachful app with your branding, logo and content, rather than an app published under your own App Store account. Mighty Networks offers own-branded apps only on its custom-priced Mighty Pro plan.
How do I price intimacy coaching packages?
Start from your hours per client (sessions plus time reviewing check-ins), your monthly software and business costs, and the income you need, then compare with what similar coaches in your market charge. Test the price with a few clients and adjust. Your software cost is one line in that calculation (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).
