Showit Pricing in 2026: Plans, Fees and What Coaches Pay

Showit pricing in October 2026 starts at $22 per month billed annually ($259 per year) or $27 billed monthly for the website-only plan. Adding a blog moves you to $27 to $49 per month, and high-traffic blog plans reach $119 to $149. Showit takes no cut of your sales, because it does not process payments at all.

That last detail is the one a coach should budget around. Showit is a website builder with hosting and an optional WordPress blog. Booking, contracts, payments, email and client delivery all come from other tools, so the subscription is rarely your full bill. We make Coachful, a coaching platform that competes for part of this budget, so weigh our recommendation with that in mind. Every Showit number below comes from what Showit lists and documents, and we have not run hands-on tests of it.

How much does Showit cost in 2026?

Showit costs $22 to $119 per month on annual billing and $27 to $149 per month on monthly billing, depending on whether you want a blog and how much traffic it gets. Most coaches will land on one of the first three plans, at $22, $27 or $39 per month billed annually.

There is no free plan. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, though during the trial you cannot connect a domain or use blogging through the WordPress admin. All prices are in US dollars. Showit's own cost article, dated September 23, 2026, lists the same prices as its pricing page.

What are all the Showit plans and prices?

Showit lists five tiers, three on its order form and two by request through support. Here is each one as listed in October 2026.

Two reading notes. Showit rounds the per-month figure on its cards, so the $22 plan is really $21.58 a month ($259 divided by 12), and the annual total is the number to put in your budget. And the savings column is our arithmetic: 12 monthly payments minus the annual total, which matches the "Save 20%" label on the page's toggle.

The per-plan blog storage figures are the least certain numbers here, because the text on Showit's pricing cards renders out of order. We cross-checked visit limits and WordPress users with Showit's help center. If storage decides your plan, confirm it with Showit first.

What does each Showit plan add?

Each step up adds blog capability rather than coaching capability. No Showit plan adds booking, payments, client records or course delivery.

Showit: $22 per month billed annually

This is the drag-and-drop website builder, hosting and an HTTPS certificate, with 20 GB of media storage. You get a contact form, which emails submissions to your account email. There is no blog. For a coach who wants a designed brochure site with a button out to a booking link, this is the whole purchase.

Showit & Basic Starter Blog: $27 per month billed annually

This adds a WordPress blog that you design in Showit, with daily blog backups stored for 30 days. The limit that matters is on plugins: Showit's wording is that "additional plugins are not permitted." You can publish articles, but you cannot add a store, a course plugin or a membership plugin. You also get one WordPress user, so a virtual assistant or writer would share your login or wait for an upgrade.

Showit & Advanced Blog: $39 per month billed annually

This is the first plan where WordPress behaves like normal WordPress. You can install any plugin, including e-commerce such as WooCommerce, and add unlimited WordPress users. It also includes free blog migration from WordPress or Squarespace, design backups every 10 minutes kept for 7 days, and FTP access on request. Any coach who wants to sell or deliver through plugins has to start here.

Showit & Advanced Blog 100K and 200K: $63 and $119 per month billed annually

These have the same features as Advanced Blog with higher traffic allowances and 30 GB of blog storage. You subscribe to Advanced Blog and then contact support, since neither appears on the order form. Above 200K visits per month, Showit asks you to contact support for custom hosting, with no published price. If your blog gets fewer than 25K visits per month, you can leave these out of your budget.

What fees does Showit charge beyond the subscription?

Showit charges no transaction fee, because it does not process payments. In Showit's words, it "doesn't take a cut of your sales." The fees you do pay sit with whichever tool takes the money.

Here is how processing shows up in practice, as an illustrative example. HoneyBook lists card processing starting at 2.9% + 25¢ as of October 2026. A $1,000 coaching package paid in one card payment would cost at least $29.25 in processing, whichever website builder sits in front of it. Showit does not change that number in either direction, which is why "no transaction fees" is true but not the same as "no fees."

What does a coach actually pay for Showit?

A working coach using Showit should expect to pay about $71 to $231 per month once the tools that do the actual coaching administration are added. The table shows three illustrative stacks using prices as listed in October 2026. Your own mix will differ, but the shape holds: the website is usually the smaller part of the bill.

All of these exclude card processing, a domain, any Design Market template and any pop-up tool. HoneyBook's Essentials plan is shown at $49 billed yearly and $59 billed monthly, and those prices carried a discount badge when we checked its page in October 2026, so confirm them before you budget. Details are in our HoneyBook pricing breakdown, and Kajabi's and Systeme.io's have their own guides.

Look closely at the third column. Kajabi includes a website, so that stack pays for two website products. A coach at that size would be better off dropping one of them, and that is usually where the question of Showit stops being about Showit.

Coachful sits in the top row because it replaces the whole stack: booking, payments, contracts, programs with habits and check-ins, courses, a community, a website with funnels, and email, with one login for you and one branded app for your clients. Processing still applies through your own Stripe or Razorpay account, with a 0% Coachful platform fee.

What are the hidden costs and gotchas in Showit pricing?

Nothing on the pricing page is misleading, but several limits only show up in the help center. These are the ones most likely to change what a coach pays.

• Plugins are locked below Advanced Blog. If you plan to sell through WooCommerce or add any plugin, the entry price is effectively $39 per month billed annually, not $22 or $27. Showit's Basic Starter Blog allows pre-installed plugins only.
• Your design does not travel. Showit designs cannot be exported for use with another host. WordPress blog content exports as XML through Tools > Export, without media files, and you can ask support for a zip of WordPress media. Advanced Blog users can also use a backup plugin. So leaving means rebuilding the site design elsewhere, and that cost belongs in your decision today.
• The trial does not show you a live site. You cannot connect a domain or use blogging through the WordPress admin during the 14 days, so you are judging the builder, not the running blog.
• The contact form is not a CRM. Submissions email to your account email, notifications are capped at 50 per day, and stored copies are kept for 30 days. There are no client records, so anything you need to keep has to live somewhere else.
• Email marketing needs another account. Showit has no built-in email marketing. Mailchimp and other opt-in forms are embedded with code, and BDOW! handles pop-ups. See our Kit pricing guide for how one email tool charges.
• Templates may be a separate purchase. Design Market templates are sold by independent designers. Showit's pricing page does not list their prices, and we will not guess at them.
• Domain cost is on you to confirm. The plan features we reviewed list hosting and an HTTPS certificate, not domain registration. Check before you assume it is included.
• High-traffic plans are not self-serve. The 100K and 200K tiers require contacting support after you subscribe to Advanced Blog.

On reputation, Showit shows 1.8 on Trustpilot as of October 28, 2026, but that rests on just 16 reviews, so read it as a weak signal and read the individual reviews yourself. For a fuller view of what the tool does beside these costs, our Showit alternatives roundup covers the wider field.

Is Showit worth it for coaches?

Showit is worth paying for if a distinctive drag-and-drop website is what you are buying and you are content to run your coaching elsewhere. For most coaches, especially those who deliver programs, it covers too little of the job. Here is how that plays out by coach type.

The design-led solo coach with simple offers

This is Showit's best case. It is aimed at creatives, its footer lists coaching among its target industries, and its builder is drag and drop. If you sell a small number of 1:1 packages over discovery calls and your brand is a big part of the sale, $22 per month for the site is reasonable. You will still need the booking and contracts layer. Coachful is the simpler choice if you would rather not assemble that layer, because its website builder sits in the same account as your scheduling and contracts.

The coach whose marketing runs on a blog

Basic Starter Blog covers publishing, and Advanced Blog covers plugins and multiple writers. If you are weighing a pure WordPress route, our Showit vs WordPress comparison goes further. Coachful also includes a blog, custom domain and SEO settings in its website builder, though not WordPress plugins.

The new coach watching every dollar

Paying for a designed site before you have clients is hard to justify, and a separate tool for each job adds up quickly. Start with one subscription that can take a booking and a payment. Our page for new coaches covers that path. Whatever you pick, set your offer first, using the package pricing calculator.

The program, group or course coach

Showit is a weak fit here. It has no client portal, programs, habit tracking, check-ins or client app, so delivery has to live in another product and your clients get a second login. Coachful is built for this coach: multi-week programs with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits and check-ins, plus group coaching tools with cohort groups created automatically on enrollment.

Health, fitness and nutrition coaches

Showit has no workout or nutrition features. Coachful's Fitness & Nutrition pack adds a workout builder, client logging, nutrition targets and weekly check-ins, and coaches attach their own demo videos. Coaching is not medical treatment, so refer clients to a doctor or licensed clinician for diagnosis, medical concerns or disordered eating. Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and does not sign a BAA, so clinical records belong in a clinical system.

The coach with a small team

Showit's only per-person limit is WordPress users, and it has no coach seats, availability or staff roles because it has no coaching layer. Coachful's team plans add coach seats with per-coach availability and staff permissions, covered on our teams page.

How does Showit pricing compare with the alternatives?

Showit is mid-priced among website builders, and well below course platforms, but it includes less for a coach than most of them. Prices are as listed in October 2026.

Coachful: the whole client journey in one login

Coachful is a coaching platform for coaches who deliver programs, not just sessions, for solo coaches growing into a small team, and for anyone replacing 4 to 6 tools. One subscription covers booking, payments, contracts, program delivery, courses, a community, a website with funnels and email, and an AI assistant called Michelle. 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. Plans are flat and monthly, lower plans cap the number of clients, Pro is unlimited, and monthly plans cancel in one click.

Its website side is what a Showit buyer will look at first. There is a section-based builder with a blog, custom domain, SEO settings and 30 designed homepage templates, plus an Import website option. It is less freeform than a drag-and-drop canvas, and that is the honest trade: Showit gives you more layout freedom, while Coachful connects each page to booking, checkout and client records.

Here is a walkthrough of the website builder inside Coachful.

The rest of the Showit stack collapses into the same account. Booking pages have availability rules, buffers and two-way Google, Apple and Outlook calendar sync, with built-in video or auto-created Zoom, Meet and Teams links. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account, with subscriptions, payment plans and coupons. Coaching agreements with e-signature go out before the first call and stay on the client record. See how those pieces fit on our coaching software and payment software pages.

Between sessions, clients work in a branded home and app with programs, habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals with progress bars and streaks. None of the website builders on this list document habits and check-ins in what we reviewed, and for a coach selling change over several weeks it is often the main thing clients pay for.

Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create > We'll build it for you, you describe what you want built, such as a website, funnel, sales page, program or email sequence, and attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files. The Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing gets invented, so there are no fake credentials or testimonials, and gaps are left for you to fill. A leadership coach with a Squarespace renewal days away got one clean homepage with a repeated "talk with me" button, and a somatic coach leaving Kajabi had the homepage and About page rebuilt and the contact form connected. It does not include recording videos, logo design, ad management or ongoing marketing. Read more about how the white-glove service works.

What Coachful does not do matters too. It is not HIPAA-certified, has no PayPal, and offers a free trial rather than a permanent free plan. The client app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not your own App Store account. It has no third-party plugins and is not a general website builder for non-coaching sites. Coachful holds a 4.5 on Trustpilot from 21 reviews, also a small sample. To start, take the free trial and request a white-glove build of your site. Clients, programs and content are imported for you during onboarding.

Squarespace

Squarespace's Core plan costs a little more than Showit's base plan and sells services, courses and memberships natively, which Showit does not. The catch is the fee on digital content and memberships: 7% on Basic, 5% on Core, 1% on Plus and 0% on Advanced, on top of card processing, plus Acuity as a separate subscription for booking. It scores 3.5 on Trustpilot from 6,313 reviews as of October 28, 2026. Our Showit vs Squarespace comparison and Acuity pricing guide cover the details. Pick it over Coachful if you want a general site with some selling built in and do not need client delivery.

Wix

Wix Core includes Wix Bookings, and the Online Programs and Pricing Plans apps add step-by-step programs and session packages. That is more built-in coaching function than Showit at a similar price. Wix has a free site option with Wix branding and no custom domain, and its cheapest paid plan, Light, cannot accept payments, so Core is the real starting point. It scores 3.4 on Trustpilot from 29,316 reviews as of October 28, 2026. See Showit vs Wix. Pick it over Coachful if you want a general website platform and will assemble its apps yourself.

WordPress.com

WordPress.com allows plugin installs on every paid plan from Personal ($4 per month billed annually), whereas Showit requires Advanced Blog at $39. The trade-off is a fee on paid subscriptions and payments, from 8% on Personal down to 2% on Business and 0% on Commerce, and you do the assembly and design yourself. It scores 3.8 on Trustpilot from 4,204 reviews as of October 28, 2026. Pick it over Coachful if you want the WordPress plugin ecosystem and are comfortable maintaining it.

Kajabi

Kajabi covers courses, community, website, funnels and email, so it replaces more of the stack than Showit, at a far higher price. Basic caps you at 5 products and 2,500 contacts with 0 AI credits. It has no habit tracking or daily client check-ins, and coaching there runs through products and communities rather than per-client plans. It scores 3.4 on Trustpilot from 2,347 reviews as of October 25, 2026. Pick it over Coachful if selling courses to a large audience is the main business and 1:1 delivery is secondary.

Systeme.io

Systeme.io is the budget marketing option: a Free plan with 2,000 contacts and 3 funnels, a Startup plan at $17 per month, and 0% transaction fees on all plans. It scores 4.9 on Trustpilot from 8,696 reviews as of October 25, 2026. Community and course features are basic, and our September 2026 profile found no native 1:1 scheduling with client records, habits or check-ins, and no branded mobile app. Pick it over Coachful if funnels and email on the lowest possible budget matter more than client delivery.

How can you save money on Showit?

The biggest saving is annual billing, and the second biggest is not buying a blog tier until you will use it. Here is the full list.

1. Pay annually if you are staying. It saves $65 on the base plan and $118 on Advanced Blog each year. Wait until the trial has convinced you, since you are then committed for 12 months.
2. Start without the blog. The base plan is $259 per year against $326 for Basic Starter Blog. If you are not going to publish regularly, that $67 difference is better kept.
3. Skip Advanced Blog unless you need plugins or more users. The step from Basic Starter Blog to Advanced Blog costs $144 more per year on annual billing. Pay it only if you have a specific plugin or second WordPress user in mind.
4. Do not pay for two websites. If your course or marketing tool includes a website, as Kajabi does, check whether you still need Showit's as well.
5. Buy only the scheduling you need. HoneyBook's Scheduler starts on Essentials ($49 billed yearly). Its Starter plan at $29 plus Calendly Standard at $10 per seat billed yearly comes to $39, as listed in October 2026. Calendly's free plan covers one event type. See our Calendly pricing guide.
6. Consider a one-page site. If you only need a page with a booking link, Carrd Pro Standard is $19 per year, its cheapest tier with a custom domain, forms and embeds. It has no blog, booking or course features.
7. Add up the stack once a year. Put the whole bill in one list and use the comparison hub to see whether consolidating would beat renewing. Our coaching pricing audit guide then helps you check that your fees cover the total.

If your renewal is coming up and the list is long, that is the moment to try consolidating into one platform. Coachful's white-glove team can build your new site in your account while the old one stays live, so you can compare before you cancel anything.

Does Showit charge transaction fees?

No. Showit does not process payments and does not take a cut of your sales. Any fees come from the checkout, booking or payment tool you embed, or from the WordPress plugin you use.

Can you move a Showit site to another platform?

Is Showit good for coaches?

It suits coaches who mainly want a distinctive website and are happy running everything else in other tools. It has no client portal, programs, check-ins, CRM or email marketing. Coaches who deliver programs will usually get further with an all-in-one coaching platform such as Coachful.

Is Coachful cheaper than Showit?

It depends on what you count, so start by comparing Showit's plan table above with 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). The fairer comparison is the whole stack, since Coachful includes booking, payments, contracts, programs, email and a website in one subscription. Add up your current tools and compare that total.

What is Coachful's white-glove service?

It is a free build service on every Coachful plan. You describe what you want, such as a website, funnel, program or email sequence, attach references, and the team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. It does not include video recording, logo design, ad management or ongoing marketing.

Can Coachful replace Showit for my website?

For a coaching site, yes: it includes a section-based website builder with a blog, custom domain, SEO settings and 30 designed homepage templates. It will not match a freeform drag-and-drop canvas, and it has no third-party plugins. If layout freedom is your priority, Showit remains the stronger pure design tool.
