Everfit vs Trainerize: Which Coaching App Should You Choose?
Everfit suits a coach who wants to start free and add paid modules such as meal plans and payments as the business grows. Trainerize suits a coach who wants Stripe payments, an AI workout builder and a cheaper path to a branded app once the roster passes about 30 clients.
- Everfit keeps a free Starter plan for up to 5 clients; Trainerize has no free tier at that size, only a $10/mo Grow plan capped at 2 clients.
- At 30 clients, Trainerize Pro is $79/mo. Everfit does not publish a price at exactly 30 clients; its nearest step is $75/mo at 35 clients.
- At 100 clients, Trainerize Pro is $225/mo and Everfit Pro is $140/mo, so Everfit is the cheaper core plan at that size.
- A branded app costs $169 one-time on Trainerize Pro, though on iOS it sits on the shared Trainerize listing; your own App Store listing needs Studio at $275 a month. On Everfit it needs an Enterprise quote with a 500-client Studio minimum.
- Everfit bundles a food journal into Pro; a full meal-plan builder on Everfit is a $39/mo add-on. Trainerize includes a meal planner with MyFitnessPal sync in its core price.
Everfit vs Trainerize price at 5, 30 and 100 clients
Both platforms price by client count rather than a flat fee, so the plan that fits changes as the roster grows. The table below uses each vendor’s own published prices rather than a straight-line estimate.
- Everfit
- Free (Starter) or $19/mo (Pro)
- Trainerize
- $25/mo (Pro)
- Everfit
- No published price at exactly 30; nearest step is $75/mo at 35 clients (Pro)
- Trainerize
- $79/mo (Pro, 30 client seats)
- Everfit
- $140/mo (Pro, 100-client step)
- Trainerize
- $225/mo (Pro, 100 client seats)
| Roster size | Everfit | Trainerize |
|---|---|---|
| 5 clients | Free (Starter) or $19/mo (Pro) | $25/mo (Pro) |
| 30 clients | No published price at exactly 30; nearest step is $75/mo at 35 clients (Pro) | $79/mo (Pro, 30 client seats) |
| 100 clients | $140/mo (Pro, 100-client step) | $225/mo (Pro, 100 client seats) |
Everfit’s Starter plan is genuinely free at 5 clients, while Trainerize’s free plan caps at a single client. Neither vendor publishes an exact price at 30 clients on the Everfit side, so treat that row as the closest published match rather than an exact one.
Both also sell a Studio tier above these numbers, though neither publishes one at 30 or 100 clients, so Pro remains the fairer comparison here. See our Trainerize pricing guide.
Workout building
Both platforms include an AI Workout Builder, so neither has a clear edge on programme generation, the same strength numbers a one rep max calculator would feed into. Everfit pairs its builder with a large exercise video library, while Trainerize pairs its with weekly progress summaries sent to the client.
For a coach who writes highly custom programmes by hand, the builder matters less than how the client experiences the plan day to day. Test both trials against your own programming style before deciding.
Nutrition
Trainerize includes a meal planner with food logging and MyFitnessPal sync as part of its core Pro price, the kind of daily target a TDEE calculator sets before logging begins. Everfit’s Pro plan includes food journaling, which covers logging but is lighter than a full meal-plan builder.
A complete meal-plan builder on Everfit is a separate add-on, on top of whatever tier you already pay. For a coach who leans heavily on nutrition coaching, that changes the real monthly cost, and is worth pricing in first.
Check-ins and habits
Everfit’s Pro plan includes forms and habit coaching, covering recurring check-ins and habit tracking in the base price. Trainerize’s published feature list centres on weekly progress summaries rather than a named check-in or habit tool.
Neither company publishes enough detail here to compare feature-for-feature, so confirm directly with each vendor if check-ins are central to your coaching model. Our own approach is covered in check-ins.
Payments
Trainerize offers Stripe payments as a flat monthly add-on on Grow and Pro, regardless of volume. Everfit’s equivalent, Payments and Packages, is also flat rather than a percentage of revenue.
Both are close enough in price that the choice comes down to which platform you already use, not the payments feature itself.
Branded app
This is where the two platforms diverge most. Trainerize sells a branded app on Pro under the shared Trainerize Apple listing, but with its own Google Play listing. A fully own-listed app on both stores needs Studio.
Everfit’s in-app branding is cheaper than Trainerize’s step, but a real white-label app on Everfit is Enterprise-only and priced by quote. For most coaches, that leaves Trainerize as the only realistic path to an app under your own name.

Who is each one for?
Everfit suits a new coach with a small roster who wants to try coaching software for free, then add meal plans and payments as revenue arrives. Its Pro plan also undercuts Trainerize's at scale.
Trainerize suits a coach who wants a meal planner and Stripe payments folded into one predictable price, plus a realistic route to a branded app well before a large Studio commitment.
If neither fits
Scraler is coaching software built around one client app, with workouts, nutrition, check-ins, habit tracking and chat from the entry plan. Premium adds Stripe payments, AI generation and a client community in the same price.
Ultimate unlocks the white-label app, with iOS under your own Apple Developer account and Android through Scraler’s own Google Play Console at no extra charge. A card starts the trial, but nothing is charged unless the account stays active. Every tier also drops an archived client from its cap right away, unlike a seat-based plan that keeps billing for one. Scraler is newer and smaller than either rival. See pricing or Best Apps for Personal Trainers.
Give clients one branded app for workouts, nutrition, check-ins and messaging, with payments and a white-label option as you grow. Fourteen free days, a card is required to start, and it stays untouched unless the trial runs out.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Everfit or Trainerize cheaper?
- It depends on roster size. At 5 clients, Everfit’s free Starter plan is cheaper than Trainerize’s $25/mo Pro plan. At 100 clients, Everfit Pro at $140/mo is cheaper than Trainerize Pro at $225/mo. Add-ons for meal plans and payments change the real cost on both sides.
- Which has a better branded app?
- Trainerize has the more realistic path: $169 one-time on Pro for an app on both stores, or your own store listing from Studio at $275/mo. Everfit’s equivalent white-label app needs an Enterprise quote and a 500-client Studio minimum, out of reach for most smaller coaching businesses.
- Does either platform charge a percentage on payments?
- Neither publishes a transaction percentage. Trainerize's Stripe add-on is $10/mo flat on Grow and Pro, and Everfit’s Payments and Packages add-on starts from $9/mo flat, both on top of the base plan.
- Can I migrate from Trainerize or Everfit to another platform?
- Most coaching platforms expect a manual rebuild. Scraler’s free switch page handles that instead, rebuilding clients, workouts and meal plans from an export of Trainerize, Everfit or another platform.
- Do Everfit and Trainerize offer free trials?
- Yes, both offer a 30 day trial with no card required. Everfit’s Starter plan also stays free permanently for up to 5 clients, whereas Trainerize’s free Basic plan is capped at 1 client.
