Coachway vs HubFit: which one should a fitness coach pick?
The short answer
HubFit is the better value for rosters over 15: workouts, nutrition, habits, check-ins and wearables from $39 a month, branding and Stripe payments from $69. Coachway is a Danish single plan at EUR 69 plus EUR 9 per client beyond five, with a branded app in six languages and a deeper meal planner. HubFit for scale, Coachway for small Nordic rosters.

What matters most here
Fair play first,
then the honest answer.
Coachway's 4.7 on Trustpilot with all 26 reviews at five stars and 30-minute support replies is a real achievement for a product this young, and HubFit's $39 entry tier ships more than most competitors charge $70 for.
Pick Coachway if…
- You coach in Danish, Swedish or another of the six app languages and want clients served in their own.
- You have 5 to 15 clients, where EUR 69 plus EUR 9 per extra client stays cheap.
- Meal planning matters: 1,100+ recipes with allergen filters and scaling, plus a 1,771-exercise workout builder.
- You want the branded client app included from day one rather than gated behind a higher tier.
Pick HubFit if…
- You have 20 to 100 clients: Premium at $69 covers 100, where Coachway's per-client overage runs to hundreds of euros.
- You want habits, challenges with live leaderboards and a community feed for retention.
- Your clients wear Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Oura or Fitbit and you want the data synced in.
- You want to pay in USD with published tier pricing up to 400 clients.
With CoachfulPick Coachful if…
- You coach more than workouts: programs with habits, check-ins and goals, plus booking and video calls, which neither app has.
- You want contracts, a website, funnels and email sequences on the same $49/mo with unlimited clients.
- You want a community and courses alongside 1:1 delivery.

Coaches who made the switch
I tried running my coaching business across five different apps. It was a complete waste of time and money. Then I found Coachful. It was everything I need in one platform.

Founder, Duff X Athletics
It’s the coaching platform I always wanted — it just didn’t exist yet. I have one dashboard for everything and already saved $1,300 by cancelling all the tech I had duct-taped together.
