how to read this
clear checks.
useful context.
This is a comparison published by Deload. We reviewed the providers’ own pricing, feature pages and help centers, and linked the supporting sources. We have not independently tested every competing feature.
- A check means included in the plan shown. Some capabilities rely on a connected service; that is stated in the cell. A feature’s depth, limits and implementation can differ.
- A partial symbol means there is a condition. Read the note for add-ons, another plan, an integration or a manual setup step. A dash means not confirmed, not unavailable.
- The spreadsheet column is a workflow, not a vendor. It assumes a spreadsheet plus tools you choose and maintain. An × means the sheet itself does not supply that capability.
- Check the current terms before buying. Prices, country support and plan inclusions can change. Payment processing, taxes, developer accounts and third-party subscriptions can add costs.
a few things
to settle first.
- Which personal trainer software is best for my business?
- Start with your roster size, how you deliver training, and the tools you need every week. Compare programming, nutrition, intake, booking and payments on the same client count, then test the client experience. A check mark confirms a capability; it does not tell you whether its workflow fits your practice.
- Which platforms offer unlimited clients?
- Deload’s announced $500 annual plan includes unlimited clients. My PT Hub Premium also lists unlimited clients. The Trainerize, Everfit, TrueCoach and PT Distinction plans shown here include 50; each has other tiers or arrangements for larger rosters. Unlimited clients does not necessarily mean unlimited coaches, storage or third-party services.
- Does the monthly price include every feature?
- Not always. The matrix identifies separate add-ons and higher-tier features. For example, Trainerize Pro charges separately for integrated payments and advanced nutrition, while Everfit charges separately for payments and Autoflow. My PT Hub Premium has separate team, branding and integration add-ons. Payment transaction fees and taxes are separate from base software prices.
- Can I use Deload today?
- Deload’s launch target is January 2027. You can explore the product previews, download free trainer resources and join the launch list now. The 60-day trial begins at launch. Paid checkout is not open yet.
- What does “not confirmed” mean?
- It means we did not establish that capability from the official sources or Deload’s launch scope. It is not a claim that the product cannot do it. Ask the provider to confirm the feature and its plan requirements before deciding.
