PT Distinction Pricing Explained (2026)

What do PT Distinction's plans cost?

PT Distinction has been sold to personal trainers since 2010, and its pricing page lists three plans. Each one bundles a client allowance into the base price, then charges per extra client above that allowance. Our coaching software cost calculator prices PT Distinction against ten rivals at your own roster size.

Basic

Pro

Master

Every plan gets the same workout builder, with circuits, supersets, giant sets and 6-12-25 formats, plus an AI Meal Planner (the kind of thing you'd otherwise plan by hand with a macro calculator). Additional trainers can be added to any plan for free, which is unusual in this category.

What does PT Distinction actually cost at 10, 30 and 60 clients?

Because the overage rate drops at each plan, the plan whose base client count matches your roster is not always the cheapest one to buy. The table below shows the arithmetic for all three plans at three roster sizes, so you can see where the crossover happens.

The crossover at 10 clients is easy to miss if you only compare base prices: Basic looks like the cheaper plan at $19.90, but its $6.00 per-client rate pushes it past Pro's flat $59.90 by the time you add just seven extra clients. Master only becomes worth buying once you're paying more on Pro's overage than Master's higher base price, which happens at 38 clients.

Does PT Distinction include a branded app? Its own pages disagree.

If a branded app is why you're considering PT Distinction, do not rely on either page alone. Ask PT Distinction directly which plan actually unlocks it before you buy, since the pricing page's plan-by-plan gating is the more specific and more likely accurate of the two claims.

What costs extra on top of the plan price?

PT Distinction does not add its own markup to payments, but two costs sit outside the plan price and are easy to miss when you're only reading the pricing page.

• Stripe payments go through Zapier. PT Distinction has no native Stripe integration; it connects through Zapier automations instead. PT Distinction charges no markup on this, but Zapier itself is a paid product once you're running anything beyond its free tier, and that cost is entirely separate from your PT Distinction bill.
• The per-extra-client rate never stops. Unlike a plan with a hard client cap, PT Distinction keeps charging per extra client indefinitely on every plan. A large roster on Master still adds $1.60 per client every month with no ceiling.

The trial itself is a genuine month free, and you can cancel inside it and pay nothing. PT Distinction does not state on its pricing page whether a card is required to start.

How does PT Distinction's price compare at the same roster size?

At 30 clients, PT Distinction's cheapest option is Pro at $71.90 a month, worked out above. That sits in the middle of this category: cheaper than Trainerize Pro's $79 and Everfit's $75 at its nearest step, but more than Kahunas' flat $69 for up to 50 clients and well above Scraler Plus at $49 for up to 50 clients with no per-client fee at all.

The gap changes shape once payments are added. Kahunas and Scraler both process payments without a per-client overage complicating the total, while PT Distinction's Zapier-based Stripe path adds a separate subscription rather than a flat add-on fee. For a full field of alternatives, the Trainerize alternatives guide and the best apps for personal trainers roundup both cover more of this category.

Who is PT Distinction worth the price for?

PT Distinction suits a trainer who wants circuits, supersets and other structured workout formats plus a strong MyFitnessPal link, and who is comfortable working out the real overage cost for their specific roster before committing. It is a poor fit for anyone who wants pricing they can read once and trust, given the conflict between its own pages.

Scraler charges one flat price per tier with no per-client overage: Plus is $49/month for up to 50 active clients and Premium is $69/month for up to 100, both with workout planning and payments built in rather than routed through a third-party automation tool. Archiving someone frees up that slot at once, since only active clients count toward either cap. Coaches evaluating nutrition coaching software more broadly should weigh PT Distinction's MyFitnessPal link against that kind of native alternative.

Scraler is smaller and newer than PT Distinction, and its trial needs a card on file even though nothing is charged until it ends. Trainers weighing a branded app specifically should also read the white label fitness app guide, since that is exactly the feature PT Distinction's own pages can't agree on, and the online coaching platforms hub sets this pairing against every other vendor in the category. If PT Distinction is not the right fit either, the PT Distinction alternatives guide covers the closest rivals directly.
