HubFit is the top Everfit alternative: meal plans, check-ins and onboarding in one app, no add-ons to stack. Here's how 5 others compare, and how to switch.

Our pick for the best Everfit alternative is HubFit, the #1 coaching app. Meal plans, check-ins, habits, training and onboarding automations live in one client app, without the add-ons that stack up on Everfit. We make HubFit, and below is why coaches leave Everfit, how five other alternatives compare, which one fits you, and how to switch.

Key takeaways

  • HubFit is the top Everfit alternative: training, nutrition, check-ins, habits and messaging in one app, with meal plans, recipes and onboarding flows in every plan.
  • On Everfit, the full meal plan and recipe book module, Autoflow automations and payments are each paid add-ons.
  • Because of those add-ons, two coaches on the same Everfit plan can pay very different amounts each month.
  • The safest switch builds first, invites a few clients second and moves payments last, so nobody is charged twice.

What is an Everfit alternative?

An Everfit alternative is another coaching platform that runs your clients' training, nutrition, check-ins and payments in place of Everfit. The right one keeps the tools you use every week in your plan, so your monthly cost doesn't climb each time you switch one on.

Why do coaches look for an Everfit alternative?

Coaches look for an Everfit alternative because several tools they use every week are add-ons on Everfit, so the bill grows as the business does. These four come up most:

  • Meal plans and recipes. Basic meal plans come with Everfit's paid plan, but the full meal plan and recipe book module is a paid add-on.
  • Automations. Autoflow, which covers day-by-day workflows and extra onboarding flows, is a metered add-on priced by the number of clients in it.
  • Payments. Taking client payments carries a monthly fee plus fees on every transaction.
  • Your own app. An app under your own name on the App Store needs Everfit's Enterprise plan, which has a client minimum.

Together, they mean two coaches on the same Everfit plan can pay very different amounts each month, depending on which add-ons they switch on.

The best Everfit alternatives, ranked

How we compared: we judged every platform on what a working coach feels each week. That means where clients log food and send check-ins, and what the tools you use cost once add-ons are counted. HubFit keeps food logging and check-ins in the same app, and its meal plans and onboarding automations come with every plan.

1. HubFit

HubFit is the top pick for coaches who want training, nutrition, check-ins, habits and payments in one app, with nothing to stitch together. It's the #1 coaching app, rated 4.9 on the App Store and Google Play, and it's free for your clients. Meal plans, 5,000+ recipes and Onboarding Flows come with every plan, so the tools you use every week don't each add a line to your bill.

Here is where the everyday tools sit on Everfit and in HubFit:

AreaEverfitHubFit
Meal plans and recipesFull module is an add-onIncluded, 5,000+ recipes
AutomationsAutoflow is a metered add-onOnboarding Flows included
PaymentsMonthly fee + transaction feesStripe's standard rate only
LeaderboardsInside the Autoflow add-onChallenges, built in
Your own appEnterprise, client minimumBranded App add-on

Payments, challenges and the AI tools come with Premium and up.

Meal plans and 5,000+ recipes, in every plan. Every plan includes the nutrition tracker with a barcode scanner, the meal plan builder and a library of 5,000+ recipes with dietary filters such as vegan, keto and gluten-free. Meal plans hold up to 10 meals, each with up to 4 options, so a client can swap oats for eggs without messaging you. If you coach nutrition, this is the add-on you stop paying for first.

Training, habits and check-ins in the same app. Clients train from 5,000+ exercise videos and tick off habits with streaks. Check-ins have 11 question types, from star ratings to photos and synced metrics. You start them from pre-built templates, and every submission lands in a review inbox, where you compare it side by side with the last one and reply with Loom video. It's the check-in workflow we cover in our guide to check-in software.

Three HubFit screens: a client scanning a protein bar's barcode to log it, the coach writing feedback on a client's weekly check-in in the coach app, and a recipe book of high-protein overnight oats with each recipe's calories and macros

Payments at Stripe's rate, with onboarding on purchase. You sell one-time, weekly or monthly packages through Stripe checkout, in 9 currencies, with coupons and free trials. HubFit adds no fee per transaction: you pay Stripe's standard rate and nothing more. When a client buys, their onboarding starts on its own, so the program, plan, habits and check-ins are waiting in the app the moment they pay. Our guide to payments for personal trainers covers the options in more depth.

From purchase to first workout: a coach's 12-Week Transformation package page with a Continue button to checkout and what's included, beside the client's Training tab in the app with today's Back workout and their training progress

Onboarding Flows that set every client up. An Onboarding Flow assigns a client's training program, nutrition plan, habits, check-ins and questionnaires the moment you add them or they buy. You can build as many flows as you need, one for each package or goal, and they come with every plan. For longer sequences, AutoFlow sends day-based messages, workouts and resources, on Premium and above.

Challenges with leaderboards and badges. Challenges are built in, with no automation add-on needed. Run a leaderboard or a milestone challenge from 25+ ready-made templates, track 7 metrics such as total sessions, steps or protein targets automatically, and let clients earn badges and share them to social media. Challenges are on Premium and above.

Challenges in the coach app: a 30-day step challenge leaderboard with the top three on a podium and 16 participants ranked by steps, beside a milestone challenge's badge tiers from Bronze at 10 workouts to Diamond at 50, with each client's badges earned so far

AI that saves you real time. Three AI tools come with Premium and up:

  • Workout AI builds a workout from a short description (exercise count, sets, reps, muscle focus), or formats a workout you paste in as plain text.
  • The Smart Meal Planner makes a full meal plan in seconds from 6 presets such as balanced, high protein and keto. Swap or regenerate any meal in one tap.
  • Meal AI turns a meal you describe into ingredients with macros, ready to add to a plan.

The Smart Meal Planner on a coach's desktop: a 2,000-calorie goal, the macro split presets Balanced, High Protein, Low Carb, Keto, Low Fat and Custom with High Protein selected, and a choice of 3 to 6 meals a day

Built for teams too. Several coaches can share a client, Standard coaches see only the clients assigned to them, and an activity log shows who did what. Team features are on Ultimate. Vegard Mikalsen of VM Coaching runs his coaching team on HubFit:

“I spend one to two minutes per client on a proper check-in now.”

2. Trainerize

Trainerize, part of ABC Fitness, is coaching software for personal trainers, online coaches, studios, gyms and health clubs. Coaches program from an exercise library and ready-made programs, with an AI Workout Builder on paid plans. Clients track meals in the app by scanning or searching foods, fill in check-in and onboarding forms, build habits with streaks, and join Groups and challenges. Paid plans also take appointments and classes with client self-booking.

Plans are sold by client seats, from a free plan for one client up to studio plans with hundreds of seats, and each level includes a set number of trainer seats. Meal planners, Stripe payments, video coaching, a business toolkit and FitMetrics AI are add-ons on most plans; the studio plans include the first four.

  • What to check: price the add-ons you'd use next to the plan itself, and see how clients would use it on a laptop: their web access is limited, and their calendar is only in the mobile app.

HubFit includes meal plans in every subscription, and clients see their training, nutrition, habits and metrics on the web too.

3. Kahunas

Kahunas targets online coaches and personal trainers, and pairs every plan with a live one-to-one onboarding session. Its nutrition side is in-house: a verified food database with barcodes and micronutrients, a TDEE calculator, supplement plans and meal plans you can export as a PDF. Check-ins use custom forms, compared side by side on a traffic-light check-in dashboard, and a content library holds your videos, audio files and documents.

There are three plans by client count: up to 25 clients, up to 50, then unlimited. Automations, lead-capture forms and an AI health score arrive on the middle plan, while your own branded app, team members (each a monthly fee) and the bundled extensions belong to the top plan.

  • What to check: the plan you'd need for automations. On Kahunas they start on the middle plan, and each one sends an email, push or chat message when its trigger fires.

HubFit's Onboarding Flows assign the program, nutrition plan, habits and check-ins themselves, and they come with every plan.

4. My PT Hub

My PT Hub, from the UK, serves personal trainers, fitness coaches and nutritionists. Its nutrition tools include a food database with a barcode scanner, a macro and calorie calculator, custom meals and recipes and automated shopping lists, with MyFitnessPal sync for clients who already use it. Training runs on a workout builder with exercise videos and an AI workout tool, and the paid plans add recurring check-ins, communities with polls, and group classes and live streams.

Its pricing is three plans. The first holds 3 clients; the second removes the client limit and lets you buy extras one at a time; the third bundles every extra, including five additional trainers and an app under your own name.

  • What to check: the size of your team. Below the top plan, each extra trainer is a monthly fee, and AI check-in summaries and Zapier are paid extras too.

Team members are included on HubFit's Ultimate plan.

5. TrueCoach

TrueCoach, from Xplor Technologies, is built for personal trainers and strength coaches, with CrossFit gyms, physical therapists and university programs among its audiences. Workouts are programmed on a calendar, and saved programs can start for one client or many at any point. Clients log macros, weight and habits, record progress photos and metrics, and message you in real time, with group chats of up to 20 people.

Its three tiers go by active clients (up to 5, 20 and 50), with special pricing past that. There are no add-ons to buy and extra coaches join free, while wearables and custom branding start on the middle tier.

  • What to check: your weekly check-in and nutrition routine. TrueCoach doesn't list a native form builder, or a built-in food database, barcode scanner or recipe library; food logs come from MyFitnessPal.

HubFit puts check-in forms, a barcode food tracker and 5,000+ recipes in every plan.

6. PT Distinction

PT Distinction is UK-built software for personal trainers and hybrid and online coaches. Its nutrition side combines an AI meal planner, recipes, a photo food diary and an in-app calorie counter with barcode and AI label scanning, plus optional two-way MyFitnessPal sync. Coaches also get a program builder with a progression calculator, custom forms with e-signature, automated check-ins by email, SMS or in-app questionnaire, automated workflows, and a web portal for clients.

Each of its three plans includes a set number of clients, and every client above that adds a monthly fee. Trainers cost nothing extra, and branded apps are included on the two higher plans.

  • What to check: the cost as you sign more clients, since the extra-client fee applies every month to every client over your plan's limit.

A HubFit plan carries one price up to its client limit, and your clients use the app free.

How the 6 Everfit alternatives compare

Is Everfit a good platform for online coaches?

Are there Everfit alternatives with AI?

Yes: HubFit, our top pick, has three AI tools that come with Premium and up. Workout AI builds a workout from a short description, the Smart Meal Planner makes a full meal plan in seconds, and Meal AI turns a meal you describe into ingredients with macros.

How do you switch from Everfit to HubFit?

You can switch from Everfit in five moves, during your 14-day free trial, without leaving clients in limbo. Build first, invite second, and move payments last, so nobody is charged twice.

WhatHow it movesWhen
Check-insStart from a pre-built templateDays 1 to 2
ProgramsRebuild, or paste into Workout AIDays 1 to 3
Meal plansSmart Meal Planner or the recipesDays 2 to 4
ClientsAdd multiple clients, with a flowWeek 1
PaymentsPackages with Stripe checkoutLast
  1. Build what you use most. Set up your main check-in from a pre-built template, your top training program and one nutrition plan. Paste a program in as plain text and Workout AI formats it into a workout.
  2. Make one Onboarding Flow. Choose the program, nutrition plan, habits and check-ins every new client should get. It's the fastest way to onboard clients without repeating yourself.
  3. Bring clients over. In the Add Client window, add clients one at a time or use Add multiple clients, pick a tag and the onboarding flow, and send the login instructions now or later.
  4. Tell your clients. Send them the message below. The app is free for them.
  5. Move payments last. Create your packages with Stripe checkout so every new purchase onboards itself, then cancel the old add-ons.

After the move: the coach's client list on the web with each client's tag, last check-in and last active time, beside a client's app with their weekly and daily check-ins waiting, each with its cover photo and next due date
