Simply.Coach alternative

The Simply.Coach alternative without the client caps

Rated excellent onTrustpilot

Simply.Coach is a serious tool for executive and leadership coaches, with 360 assessments, stakeholder reporting, SOC2 and HIPAA claims, native mobile apps, and a 4.8 on G2 from around 146 reviews.

If you run sponsored corporate engagements, that depth is the point. Most online coaches feel the other side of it: reviewers describe feature overwhelm and a steep setup curve, and the client caps force an upgrade every time the practice grows. There is also no community, no funnels, and no marketing automation. Coachful is the simpler path: programs, habits, check-ins, booking, payments, contracts, community, courses, and a full website, with up to 20 clients from $49/mo or unlimited clients at $99/mo.

Why coaches switch

Three reasons coaches choose Coachful

20 clients for $49

Simply.Coach makes you climb from 3 to 7 to 30 clients before unlimited at $49/mo. Coachful Solo is $49/mo for up to 20 clients with every feature switched on; unlimited Pro is $99/mo.

Community, courses, and a website included

Simply.Coach has no community layer and no funnels. Coachful includes a community feed, group cohorts, video courses, funnels, email sequences, and a section-based website builder.

Simpler by design

Reviewers cite Simply.Coach’s learning curve and feature overwhelm for small practices. Coachful is opinionated for online coaches, so a program, booking page, and checkout are live in an afternoon.

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.

FAQ

All your questions, answered

What coaches ask before switching from Simply.Coach.

For online coaches who want programs, habits, community, and a website without client caps, yes. Simply.Coach is stronger for corporate engagements: 360s, stakeholder reports, coach matching, and SOC2/HIPAA paperwork. Coachful is GDPR-ready but not HIPAA-certified, so if a sponsor requires HIPAA, Simply.Coach is the better fit.

Simply.Coach solo plans are $9/mo (3 clients), $29 (7 clients), $49 (30 clients), and $69 (unlimited). Business plans are $79 to $159 per active coach. Coachful is $29/mo for up to 5 clients, $49/mo Solo for up to 20 clients, and $99/mo unlimited Pro, with a 0% platform fee. Simply.Coach does not state a transaction fee on its pricing page.

Yes. Coachful has iOS and Android client apps that show your branding, with programs, habits, check-ins, chat, community, and session booking inside. Simply.Coach also ships iOS and Android apps, so this one is a draw.

It scores 4.8 on G2 from around 146 reviews and 4.6 on Capterra, with support rated 4.9. The common complaints are the steep initial setup, feature overwhelm for small practices, client and contract caps below the Leap tier, and a trial limited to 3 clients and 10 sessions.

Yes. Simply.Coach says all data can be exported to spreadsheets. Bring the export to onboarding and we import your client list and help rebuild programs, booking pages, contracts, and payments in Coachful.
