Why coaches would switch
Where Coachsmith is different.
Training and nutrition in one place
If you coach food as well as training, you get proper meal planning instead of a second app.
Run the business, not just the program
Get paid, onboard automatically and spot clients about to churn, without stitching tools together.
Flat pricing as you grow
Pro covers unlimited clients for one price.
When to stay on TrueCoach
- You only deliver training, don't coach nutrition and want the simplest possible tool.
- You already handle payments and onboarding elsewhere and like it that way.
