Short answer
Everfit is particularly compelling for coaches who want more room at the free entry point and granular paid client tiers. Trainerize is particularly compelling for online/hybrid coaches who value its broader ecosystem and are comfortable adding business, nutrition or video capabilities when needed. Neither is the universal winner: the better choice changes with your client count and must-have features.
Trainerize vs Everfit at a glance
| Area | ABC Trainerize | Everfit | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 1 coaching client | Up to 5 clients | Everfit gives a new coach more room before a paid plan. |
| Paid entry | Grow $9/mo for 2 clients; Pro starts $23/mo for 5 | Pro starts $19/mo for 5 | Compare the tier that actually covers your roster, not only the headline price. |
| Workouts | Programming, custom programs, AI workout builder on Grow+ | Workout builder, custom exercise library and client app | Both are credible workout-delivery platforms. |
| Nutrition | Basic tracking included; Advanced Nutrition is a paid add-on on Grow/Pro | Nutrition tools on Pro; additional capabilities vary by plan/add-on | Define how deep your nutrition service needs to be before comparing cost. |
| Automation | Business/engagement capabilities vary by plan and add-on | Autoflow automation add-on from $29/mo | Automation can materially change total monthly cost on either stack. |
| Payments / business tools | Stripe Integrated Payments and Business are optional add-ons on Grow/Pro | Business and payment capabilities depend on plan/features used | If payments or booking are must-haves, compare the complete setup. |
| Studios | Studio Plus starts $248/mo for 500 members/location | Studio starts $105/mo for 50 clients | These are structurally different tiers, so headline studio prices are not like-for-like. |

Pricing: compare the business you have, not the cheapest plan
Trainerize's permanent free plan covers one coaching client. Grow is $9/month for two clients, while Pro starts at $23/month for five. Everfit Starter is free for up to five clients, and its monthly Pro tiers publish $19 for 5, $29 for 10, $49 for 20, $75 for 35, $95 for 50 and $140 for 100 clients.
This makes Everfit's public pricing especially easy to model as a roster grows. Trainerize also scales through Pro client-seat tiers, but optional Advanced Nutrition, Business, Video Coaching and Stripe payments can change the total when those capabilities are required.
A $9 vs $19 comparison is the wrong comparison
Trainerize Grow at $9 covers two clients; Everfit Pro at $19 covers five. For a five-client coach, the relevant Trainerize tier is Pro 5 at $23, while Everfit also offers a five-client free Starter tier and a $19 Pro 5 tier. Your required features then determine whether the free tier is actually sufficient.
Which one fits common coaching situations?
Just starting: 1–5 clients
Lean Everfit if maximizing free client capacity is the priority. Trainerize remains attractive if its workflow/ecosystem is a stronger fit and one free client is enough while testing the business.
Growing online coach
Compare both. At 10–50 clients, roster pricing, automation and nutrition requirements matter more than the entry price. Everfit publishes granular Pro tiers; Trainerize's Pro family is designed to scale through larger seat counts.
Hybrid coaching
Lean Trainerize when its business ecosystem matches your workflow. Trainerize explicitly supports online, in-person and hybrid training; scheduling and other business functions can involve its Business add-on.
Automation-heavy operation
Model total cost before deciding. Everfit's Autoflow is a paid automation add-on; Trainerize also separates several advanced business capabilities into paid add-ons on Grow/Pro.

Compare them for my business →Workout programming and client delivery
Both products are built around delivering training remotely through coach and client apps. Trainerize includes workout programming and delivery on its free tier and adds custom client programs plus its AI Workout Builder on Grow. Everfit Starter includes its workout builder, custom exercise library, progress metrics, tasks, messaging and client/coach apps.
For most independent trainers, the decision is therefore unlikely to be “can it deliver workouts?” The more useful question is what else must sit around that workout workflow: nutrition, automated onboarding, booking, payments, groups, branding or studio operations.
Nutrition
Trainerize includes basic meal tracking and PDF meal plans, while Advanced Nutrition Coaching is a paid add-on for Grow and Pro plans. Trainerize currently lists that add-on at $20/month for Grow, Pro 5 and Pro 15, and $45/month for Pro 30 through Pro 200.
Everfit positions nutrition as part of its broader Pro coaching toolkit. If nutrition is central to what you sell rather than an occasional tracking feature, treat it as a must-have in the Finder instead of choosing on workout features alone.
Automation, booking and payments
These features are where a simple subscription comparison can become misleading. Everfit lists Autoflow automation from $29/month. Trainerize lists separate paid add-ons on Grow/Pro including Business and Stripe Integrated Payments, alongside Advanced Nutrition and Video Coaching.
That does not make either product inherently more expensive. It means the correct comparison is the complete configuration required by your business. A coach who only needs programming and messaging should not be priced as if they run automated sales, scheduling and nutrition workflows.
Branding and studios
Both vendors offer paths beyond a solo coaching setup. Trainerize offers custom branded app options and Studio Plus for established businesses; Everfit offers a separate Studio product for teams, studios and gyms. Their studio entry tiers cover very different client/member volumes, so comparing $248 with $105 without context would be misleading.
TransparentSoft verdict
Choose Everfit first to investigate when you are early-stage, want up to five clients on a permanent free tier, or value its granular public Pro pricing as your roster grows.
Choose Trainerize first to investigate when online/hybrid coaching and its wider coaching/business ecosystem align strongly with your workflow, particularly if you are comfortable configuring paid add-ons around the core platform.
Run the Finder instead of choosing from this verdict when booking, payments, nutrition, branding or budget are hard requirements. Those constraints can change the result — and can also make another platform a better fit than either Trainerize or Everfit.
