Hevy Coach vs ABC Trainerize

What each one actually costs

The real monthly figure at four roster sizes with the add-ons each platform forces on you included, from the same engine the shortlist quiz uses. The cheaper of the two is marked on every row.

What is actually different

• ABC Trainerize does appointment booking, client food logging, group programmes, more than one coach seat, nutrition plans, your own app in the stores, sellable packages and taking payments, and Hevy Coach does not. We checked both against their pricing pages.
• ABC Trainerize lists automations, client check-ins, intake forms, habit tracking, leaderboards, video form checks and wearable syncing where Hevy Coach does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.

I have used both

Condensed from my own reviews. Every line links to the second I said it, so you can check any of it. Prices in the table above are from this week; the videos are older and the figures in them are not.

Hevy Coach

A beautifully simple coaching platform that does exactly what it says, with a clean interface that won't overwhelm you or your clients.

• Very clean, very simple user interface that's not overwhelming like some software with too many features. 4:40
• Built by the team behind the Heavy app with over 3 million users, so they understand what people want from a coaching app. 3:13
• Includes a ready-made program library with different splits and levels, great if you're just getting started online. 7:15
• I had no criticisms of it.

ABC Trainerize

A robust, feature-rich platform that I use personally as a client and my coach has stuck with for five years.

• Having training templates is really good if you're just getting started, plus the workout builder is helpful. 1:38
• It gives you exercise videos so you don't have to record them yourself. 1:45
• I actually really like this in the gym: I open the app, start my session, log my reps and weights, and see how I'm progressing each week. 7:03
• The messaging service is a little bit clunky, not that intuitive, and not like WhatsApp or iMessage. 4:56
• A little noisy when you sign in; I do think a lot of these apps are quite heavy on their data and dashboards. 4:28
• Getting this set up will take time because creating all the template programs is a bit time-consuming to start with. 6:36
