CoachVana vs Eat This Much

CoachVana combines client management, workout programming, nutrition tracking, check-ins, messaging, and payments for online coaches, personal trainers, gyms, and coaching brands. Its program builder uses drag-and-drop blocks, supersets, 13 templates, and a coach’s own exercise library. Clients can log food against calorie and macro targets using a built-in database of 404,162 foods. Coaches receive payments through their own Stripe account; CoachVana says it takes 0% commission, including on marketplace clients. Optional connections include Apple Health, Health Connect, WHOOP, Garmin, and Google Calendar, while Typeform and Jotform responses can feed leads, applications, or check-ins. The free plan includes every coaching feature for the first three active clients. When a coach reaches a fourth client, a 14-day trial can be started without a card on file. If it ends without a plan, clients beyond the first three are paused until payment is set up. The Coach plan is $29 a month for up to five clients. The service is offered to US residents and requires users to be at least 18.
