The best personal trainer software in 2026, ranked by what you pay at 5, 25 and 50 clients

The best personal trainer software in 2026 depends on the size of your roster and whether you want a tool that manages clients or one that also finds them. On the prices each company published today, BryksBuilt is the best value with the most included from 5 to 75 clients, TrueCoach is the most polished pick under 20, Everfit is the best pay for what you use option, PT Distinction is the best fixed price at 50, and Trainerize is the right call for a gym on ABC Fitness software.

A word on who is writing this. We build BryksBuilt. So this list does two things a vendor's list usually does not: it puts the source beside every number, read from the competitor's own pricing page on the date at the bottom, and it names the cases where you should pick someone else. Check the sources. That is what they are for.

1. BryksBuilt: best value with the most included, 5 to 75 clients

Price. Free to 5 clients forever. Starter $22.99 for 25, Growth $44.99 for 50, Scale $69.99 for 75, Unlimited $99.99 with no cap. Prices also in CAD. Annual saves up to 29 percent.

What is included. On every plan, free included: programs, check ins, meal plans with 522 recipes and self building grocery lists, messaging, progress tracking, client payments through your own Stripe at a 2 percent platform fee, and a marketplace profile inside the consumer app. On every paid plan: Bryksy (an AI assistant that drafts programs, meal plans and check in forms you approve) and the full Pro app for your own training. White label (your colour, logo and iPhone app icon) is a one time add on, $99.99 USD or $150 CAD.

Best for. Independent coaches and small teams who want one flat price that does not creep with each client, and who want the next client to come from somewhere other than their own Instagram.

Not for. Studios that need a standalone branded app under their own App Store listing, coaches who depend on a specific integration we do not have yet, or anyone who wants a decade of edge cases already handled. BryksBuilt has been live since June 2026.

2. TrueCoach: best polish under 20 clients

Price. Starter $29.98 a month for up to 5 active clients, Standard $69.98 for up to 20, Pro $164.98 for up to 50. Annual gives one or two months free. A 14 day trial, no card.

What is included. Programs, check ins, messaging, progress, free automated payments through Stripe on every plan, and a custom branded app on Standard and Pro.

Best for. A coach under 20 clients who values a mature, smooth client experience and does not mind paying for it.

Not for. Rosters that cross 20, where the next plan is $164.98. No free tier.

3. Everfit: best pay for what you use

Price. Starter is free to 5 clients forever. Pro from $19 a month ($16 annually) for 5 clients, scaling to $255 for 250. Studio from $105 for 50. Add ons: Payments and Packages from $9, Meal Plans and Recipe Books $39, Autoflow automation from $29, On Demand Collections from $25.

What is included. The base tool. Everything else is a module, which is the point.

Best for. A coach who wants a low base price and is disciplined about turning on only the modules that pay for themselves, and anyone whose business runs on automated client journeys (Autoflow is a real feature none of the others match).

Not for. A coach who wants payments and nutrition in the box; those two add ons alone are $48 a month on top of a base price that also climbs.

4. PT Distinction: best fixed price at 50

Price. Basic $19.90 for 3 clients, Pro $59.90 for 25, Master $89.90 for 50. Extra clients $6.00, $2.40 and $1.60 a month each. A one month trial. Branded apps on Pro and Master at no extra cost.

What is included. A complete coaching toolkit with branding on the two upper plans, and the cheapest overflow on the list once you pass 50.

Best for. A coach between 25 and 50 who wants one predictable number and cheap headroom.

Not for. New coaches (no free plan, and Basic is 3 clients without branding), and anyone who needs payments detailed up front; the pricing page does not cover them.

5. Trainerize: best for gyms on ABC Fitness

Price. Basic free for 1 client, Grow $10 for 2, then Pro by seat count: $25 at 5, $50 at 15, $79 at 30, $135 at 50, $180 at 75, $225 at 100 and $250 at 200. Studio Plus $275 for 500 per location. Annual saves 10 percent. Custom branded app for a $169 one time fee on Pro, included on Studio Plus and Enterprise.

What is included. A mature coaching platform inside the ABC Fitness ecosystem with a long integrations list and a standalone branded app option.

Best for. Gyms and studios already on ABC software, coaches who need a specific Trainerize integration, and operations that want their own App Store listing.

Not for. Independent coaches watching the per client price climb, or anyone paying a one time branding fee for something included elsewhere.

How to choose in five minutes

1. Count your clients a year from now, not today, and read each price at that number.
2. Decide whether branding is a must, and notice whether it is a one time fee, a tier or included.
3. Ask who holds the money when a client pays. A charge on your own Stripe is not the same as a platform payout.
4. Check for a free plan you can stand on while you migrate in batches.
5. Ask where new clients come from. For four of these five, the answer is you.

What this list leaves out

My PT Hub, Hevy Coach, Kahunas, FitBudd and Coachway all sell to the same coach. They are not ranked here because we have not read their pricing pages with the same care today, and we would rather leave a name off than guess a number. When they are added, the verification date on this page moves.
