Kahunas vs Everfit: Which Coaching App Should You Choose?
Kahunas suits a coach who wants an unlimited roster and their own app store listings under one flat fee, with no separate charge for payments. Everfit suits a coach who wants a genuinely free plan to start on, then a per-client price to grow into, and does not mind paying separately for meal plans and payments once clients need them.
- Kahunas runs three flat-fee plans: Essentials $35/mo (25 clients), Growth $69/mo (50), Ultimate $99/mo (unlimited, with your own iOS and Android store listings included).
- Everfit starts free (Starter, 5 clients), then Pro scales by client step from $19/mo (5 clients) to $290/mo (300), with Studio running $105/mo (50) to $430/mo (500).
- At 100 clients, Kahunas Ultimate is $99/mo for an unlimited roster. Everfit Pro is $140/mo for exactly 100, and keeps climbing past it.
- Everfit charges extra for meal planning (from $39/mo) and payments (from $9/mo). Kahunas includes Stripe and PayPal with no platform commission, and its Ultimate plan bundles the branded app in rather than pricing it separately.
- A real, independently listed white-label app is Enterprise-only on Everfit, and Enterprise itself needs a 500-client Studio minimum. Kahunas includes its own store listings in Ultimate at $99/mo, no minimum roster required.
Kahunas vs Everfit price at 5, 50 and 100 clients
Kahunas prices in three flat fees with generous client caps built in. Everfit prices by client step instead, so the number you pay depends on exactly where your roster sits, not just which plan you picked.
- Kahunas
- $35/mo (Essentials, 25-client cap; there is no smaller tier)
- Everfit
- Free (Starter, 5-client cap) or $19/mo (Pro, 5 clients)
- Kahunas
- $69/mo (Growth, 50-client cap)
- Everfit
- $105/mo (Studio, 50 clients; Pro's nearest published step is 35 clients at $75/mo)
- Kahunas
- $99/mo (Ultimate, unlimited clients)
- Everfit
- $140/mo (Pro, 100-client step)
| Roster size | Kahunas | Everfit |
|---|---|---|
| 5 clients | $35/mo (Essentials, 25-client cap; there is no smaller tier) | Free (Starter, 5-client cap) or $19/mo (Pro, 5 clients) |
| 50 clients | $69/mo (Growth, 50-client cap) | $105/mo (Studio, 50 clients; Pro's nearest published step is 35 clients at $75/mo) |
| 100 clients | $99/mo (Ultimate, unlimited clients) | $140/mo (Pro, 100-client step) |
The 100-client row is the clearest gap. Kahunas Ultimate covers an unlimited roster for $99 a month, while Everfit Pro charges $140 for exactly 100 and keeps rising past it, up to $290 at 300 clients. See our Everfit pricing guide for every step in full.
At the small end, Kahunas has no tier below Essentials, so a 5-client coach pays $35 a month for headroom up to 25. Everfit's free Starter plan and $19 Pro tier are both cheaper at that size, since Everfit's step pricing starts lower and grows with you instead.
Workout building
Both platforms include a 1,000+ exercise video library on their paid plans, and Everfit adds an AI Workout Builder across Pro and Studio. Kahunas does not publish an AI builder feature, so its programming stays closer to a manual, drag-and-drop workflow.
For a coach who wants AI-assisted programming, Everfit's builder is the clearer feature, useful alongside something like a one rep max calculator when setting starting loads. For everything else, the two libraries are close enough in size that the choice comes down to price and the app, not exercise count.
Nutrition
Kahunas includes a 1.6 million item food database on every plan at no extra charge, useful for setting a target with a macro calculator and logging against it, though its own help centre states it has no MyFitnessPal integration. Everfit includes food journaling on its base price too, but a real meal plan builder, assigning and tracking full plans rather than just logging food, is a separate add-on starting at $39 a month.
For a coach who wants nutrition tracking bundled in with no extra line item, Kahunas's food database is the simpler deal. For a coach who wants to actually build and assign meal plans inside the app, Everfit does that, but only once the add-on is switched on.
Payments
Kahunas takes both Stripe and PayPal with no platform commission stated anywhere in its published pricing. Everfit's Payments and Packages feature is a separate add-on starting at $9 a month, on top of either Pro or Studio.
That $9 a month is not a percentage, so it costs the same regardless of how much you actually charge clients. Still, it is a line item Kahunas simply does not have, since payments come included in every Kahunas plan already.
Branded app and store listings
This is the sharpest difference between the two. Kahunas bundles unlimited clients and your own iOS and Android store listings into one $99-a-month Ultimate plan, no separate fee and no minimum roster required. Everfit's in-app branding, your logo and colors inside the shared Everfit app, is a $75 one-time fee on Pro and Studio, but a real, independently listed white-label app needs Enterprise, and Enterprise itself requires a 500-client Studio minimum to even qualify.
For a coach who wants their own app on the store sooner rather than later, Kahunas reaches that at $99 a month with no roster threshold at all. Everfit's equivalent is realistically out of reach until a roster is already large enough to be on Studio's top tier.

Who is each one for?
Kahunas suits a coach who wants a genuinely unlimited roster under one flat fee, plus their own app store listings without a separate branding charge or a large minimum roster. It is a weaker fit for anyone who relies on MyFitnessPal, since Kahunas does not integrate with it.
Everfit suits a coach who wants to start free and grow into a per-client price, and is comfortable paying separately for meal planning and payments once clients need them. Its AI Workout Builder is also a real advantage for a coach who wants programming assistance built into every paid tier.
If neither fits
Scraler is one client app for workouts, nutrition, check-ins, habits and chat starting on the entry plan, and unlike either rival here, archiving a client takes them off the cap the same day rather than leaving them counted. Premium keeps Stripe payments inside that $69-a-month price, no add-on and no cut, plus AI generation and a client community.
Ultimate is the tier for a white-label app: iOS ships under your own Apple Developer account, Android through Scraler's Google Play Console, neither one costing extra, starting at $109 a month for 100 clients. A card is needed to open the 14 day trial, but the charge only lands if the account is still running once it closes. Scraler is smaller and newer than both Kahunas and Everfit, worth weighing against what it bundles together. See pricing or Best Apps for Personal Trainers.
One client app for workouts, nutrition, check-ins and messaging, payments folded in from Premium, a white-label option on Ultimate, and a cap that only counts clients you have not archived. Fourteen days to try it, a card needed up front, and no charge unless you are still on it once the trial closes.
