The 9 closest of 22, each with its real monthly cost at 50 clients and what it does that Coach Catalyst does not. See all 26.
Stridist is the closest platform that costs less and gives up nothing we verified. $95 a month at 50 clients, $4 less than Coach Catalyst, and it adds client food logging. The trade: Coach Catalyst is built for habits and behaviour change and Stridist is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
No payments, no scheduling, no branded app. Programming is lighter than the specialists. The jump from $5 to $39 at 4 clients is steep.
It runs $99 a month at 50 clients with the add-ons it forces on you included. 12 of the 22 alternatives on this site cost less than that.
I reviewed Coach Catalyst and had no criticisms of it, so the reason to look at something else is price or fit, not a fault.
Ranked by how much of what we record for Coach Catalyst each platform also does. Stridist is the nearest, and it is $4 a month cheaper at 50 clients. Nothing we verified is missing; the only gaps are features Coach Catalyst lists and Stridist does not, which is weaker evidence.

Everything this site records for Coach Catalyst is also recorded for these, and they cost less at 50 clients. That is not the same as saying they are better: the last column is what Coach Catalyst is built for that they are not, and for a coach who needs that, the saving is not a saving.

On this site it is the pick for habits and behaviour change. If that is you, read the savings above and then ignore them.
Eight features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: appointment booking, client food logging, group programmes, coach seats, nutrition plans, your own app, sellable packages and taking payments. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other thirteen are read out of each vendor's own feature prose, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to Coach Catalyst. The shortlist asks 9 questions about your own roster and gives you four picks priced at your client count, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
