Coachable vs Helms

Coachable is a web-based program editor, team management system, and athlete dashboard for strength coaches. Its AI assistant accepts plain-English requests for program changes; coaches can review suggestions, apply them with one click, or undo them. The editor supports drag-and-drop programming, copying sessions or weeks, automatic weight calculations from percentages or RPE, and smart complexes. Coaches can assign a template to multiple athletes, with updates and recalculated weights applied to those athletes. Blueprint Builder can scaffold periodized blocks, while charts show volume, intensity, exercise distribution, and planned versus actual performance. Athletes log workouts through a mobile-friendly dashboard and submit ratings for fatigue, motivation, and performance, along with notes. Coaches can connect Stripe for subscriptions, recurring billing, refunds, and revenue analytics. The free plan is free and covers one team with up to 15 active athletes. Pro costs $20 a month, and Premium costs $145 a month; both include a 30-day free trial.
