TrainStead vs Everfit

Everfit charges per client. TrainStead charges per trainer.

Everfit is a capable app for online and hybrid coaches. It's genuinely good at remote coaching: a polished client app, automated check-ins, and habit and nutrition tracking to keep clients engaged between sessions. Like most coaching software, though, its plans are tiered by how many active clients you're training, so the more clients you take on, the more you pay, whether or not you've grown your team.

TrainStead runs the other way. Every plan includes unlimited clients, and you pay per trainer. Your software cost tracks your team, not how full your books are.

Here's the honest breakdown:

Pricing model

Everfit: priced by active-client tiers, so costs step up as your roster fills. TrainStead: priced per trainer, unlimited clients on every plan. (Compare current prices for your numbers, but the models don't change.) See exactly what you'd pay on our pricing page.

Who it's built for

Everfit leans toward online and hybrid coaches delivering programs through an app. TrainStead is built for a studio you run in person: scheduling, programming, client tracking, messaging, and studio-level analytics in one place, made by a trainer.

When to pick which

If you're a solo or online coach with a small, steady list, Everfit can be a fine fit. If you run a studio, add clients often, or plan to bring on another trainer, per-client pricing becomes a tax on growth, and per-trainer pricing wins the moment you scale.
