The 9 closest of 22, each with its real monthly cost at 50 clients and what it does that TrainHeroic does not. See all 26.
Kahunas is the closest platform that costs less and gives up nothing we verified. $69 a month at 50 clients, $5.99 less than TrainHeroic, and it adds client food logging, nutrition plans and your own app in the stores. The trade: TrainHeroic is built for strength and barbell programming only, teams and squads and selling programmes to people you don't coach and Kahunas is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
No nutrition, no scheduling, no branded app. Built for barbell sports, not general PT.
It runs $74.99 a month at 50 clients with the add-ons it forces on you included. 4 of the 22 alternatives on this site cost less than that.
What I flagged when I reviewed it, October 2024:
Ranked by how much of what we record for TrainHeroic each platform also does. TeamBuildr is the nearest, and it is $205.01 a month dearer at 50 clients. Nothing we verified is missing; the only gaps are features TrainHeroic lists and TeamBuildr does not, which is weaker evidence.
School, college and facility strength programmes. Unlimited coach seats is the standout.

Strength coaches and teams, plus the marketplace as a genuine distribution channel for selling programmes.
On this site it is the pick for strength and barbell programming only, teams and squads and selling programmes to people you don't coach. 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 TrainHeroic. 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”.
