Everfit vs Kahunas: the honest comparison.

A free start that scales vs per-seat pricing built for volume.

Both list a workout builder, an exercise video library, a client app, messaging, progress tracking, check-ins, and payments, so on the core checklist they overlap more than they look at first glance. The difference is how they want you to start and grow. Everfit markets itself as an all-in-one coaching platform with a genuinely generous forever-free tier for up to 5 clients, then a per-client slider on its Pro and Studio plans, which makes it easy to test with no spend and pay only as your caseload grows. For a sense of scale, Everfit's own homepage says the platform is trusted by more than 380,000 coaches (September 2026). Kahunas leans the other way, toward per-seat pricing that rewards volume, with features unlocking by seat tier and a branded client app under your own logo from 200 seats (a web app installed from your link, with no App Store or Google Play listing), at a published price rather than a separate quote. Kahunas's pricing page (checked 11 November 2026) describes its model as "Pay per active client or team member, from $5.00 down to $0.50 a seat each month, with a 14-day free trial." Neither approach is wrong. The right one depends on whether you value a free, low-commitment start with gradual scaling or a per-seat price that keeps falling as your roster grows.

This comparison is shaped by years of working alongside online coaches, rather than reading spec sheets.

Pricing: free-then-slider vs per-seat tiers.

The two tools shape cost very differently. Everfit starts at zero: its Starter tier is forever free for up to 5 active clients, with the workout builder, exercise library, progress tracking, messaging, and client and coach apps included. Beyond that, Pro scales by client count from about USD 19 per month at 5 clients up to about USD 290 per month at 300 clients on monthly billing (roughly USD 16 to USD 242 on annual billing, about a 16 percent saving), and Studio scales higher again, up to USD 430 per month at 500 clients monthly. Several pieces are paid add-ons on top of the base tier, including meal plans (about USD 33 to 39 per month), payments (about USD 8 to 9 per month), and automation. There is a 30-day free trial on paid plans with no credit card required.

Kahunas bills per seat, where a seat is an active client or a team member; you as the owner and your leads never take one, and the minimum is 3 seats. The price per seat falls as you grow: USD 5.00 a month for 3 to 24 seats, USD 2.50 for 25 to 49, USD 2.00 for 50 to 99, USD 1.50 for 100 to 199, USD 1.00 for 200 to 999 and USD 0.50 from 1,000, with yearly billing 20 percent off. Features unlock by seat tier too: recipes, automations and leads from 25 seats, team seats from 50, communities from 100 and white label from 200. If a bigger tier costs the same or less, Kahunas bills that one, so 20 clients cost USD 62.50, 60 clients USD 120 and 100 clients USD 150 a month. There is a 14-day free trial. So a coach with a large client list pays less per client on Kahunas as the list grows, where the same caseload on Everfit would sit further up the slider plus any add-ons.

The honest takeaway: do the math on your actual client count and the features you actually need. If you are at 3 clients and unsure, Everfit's free Starter is hard to beat for getting going. If you are at 60 clients, Kahunas bills USD 120 a month, and its white-label app needs 200 seats, so at least USD 200 a month. For a different model again, Coachway uses per-client pricing: EUR 69 per month for up to 5 active clients plus EUR 9 per additional active client, with your own Stripe included; you can sanity-check that math against current Coachway pricing.

The feature differences that actually matter.

• Getting started. Everfit lets you start with a forever-free tier for up to 5 clients, which makes it a low-risk way to test the platform with real clients before paying. Kahunas lists a 14-day free trial, then paid seats from USD 15 a month (the 3-seat minimum at USD 5.00 a seat); its pricing page lists no free plan. If a no-spend start matters, Everfit has the edge, and our roundup of free tiers across coaching apps shows which other platforms offer one.
• Branded app. This is a real difference. On Everfit, custom branding (your logo and colors) is available on Pro and Studio, while a full standalone white-label app is Enterprise-only at custom pricing. On Kahunas, white label unlocks at 200 seats (USD 1.00 per seat a month, so at least USD 200 a month), no Enterprise quote required. Per Kahunas's branded app page (checked 11 November 2026), that means your logo and brand colour on the web app, your own yourname.kahunas.app address, email domain and menu, installed from your link with no App Store or Google Play listing. Below 200 seats clients get the Kahunas-branded web app. If a branded app under your own logo is the goal and you have a large roster, Kahunas reaches it at a published price; below 200 clients you would be paying for spare seats to get it (Kahunas bills 200 seats from about 134 clients, so 150 clients cost USD 200 a month).
• Nutrition. They handle nutrition differently. On Everfit, meal plans and recipe books are a paid add-on (about USD 33 to 39 per month) and a food journal sits on Pro and above, so nutrition is present but secondary to the workout-and-habit core. Kahunas builds in nutrition tracking with a large food database (its homepage advertises 1.5 million+ foods with barcode scanning, checked 11 November 2026) plus macro and micronutrient tracking. Recipes (a Recipe Builder with per-serving macros) unlock from 25 seats, and its Kahunas 2.0 post says the Moss assistant drafts meal plans from your templates for you to approve.
• Payments. On Everfit, Payments and Packages is a paid add-on (about USD 8 to 9 per month) and the underlying processor is not confirmed on its pricing page. Kahunas connects your own Stripe or PayPal and states it takes no commission on your client sales, so you keep the billing relationship. Confirm your country and processor with each provider, since neither publishes a definitive payout-country list on the pages checked.
• Workouts and habits. Both list these features. Everfit is workout-and-habit-first, with a mature workout builder, exercise library, AI-assisted programming, and habit tracking at its core. Kahunas advertises a 1,700+ exercise library with sets, supersets, and circuits, plus check-ins, habit tracking, and a content library.
• Language. Everfit's coach interface is English-only, and its client app added several languages in 2026 (French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian) but does not include the Nordic languages. Kahunas's site and help center are in English. If your clients want the app in their own language, particularly a Nordic one, check which languages each provider lists before you commit.

Which should you pick?

The decision comes down to a few honest questions: do you want a free start or a per-seat price that falls with volume, how important is a fully branded app, how central is nutrition, and what is your client count? Here is the fair way to land it.

• You want to start free and test before you spend. Everfit. Its forever-free Starter tier for up to 5 clients lets you run real clients with no commitment, and the per-client slider means you only pay more as you grow.
• You want a branded client app under your own logo at a published price. Kahunas, if your roster is large. White label unlocks at 200 seats (at least USD 200 per month) as a branded web app with no store listing, where Everfit reserves a full white-label app for Enterprise at custom pricing.
• You have a large client list. Kahunas gets cheaper per client as you grow: 60 clients cost USD 120 a month and 100 clients USD 150. On Everfit, the same caseload sits further up the Pro or Studio slider, plus any add-ons you need.
• You want built-in nutrition tracking out of the box. Kahunas includes a large food database and macro tracking in the platform (recipes from 25 seats), where Everfit charges meal plans as a paid add-on.
• You want the lowest possible entry cost. Everfit, because of the forever-free Starter tier. As you scale, run the Pro slider and add-ons against Kahunas's per-seat price to see which wins at your number.
• You want deep built-in nutrition content and a client app in your clients' own language. Coachway is a third option to look at here: training, nutrition, and check-ins in one workflow, 1,100+ recipes and 3,900+ ingredients built in, your own Stripe, and a client app in eight languages (English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch and Spanish, with the Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and German versions reviewed by native-speaking coaches).
• You are on Kahunas and thinking of moving. Coachway gives coaches leaving Kahunas a free migration, done by our team in one day. You sign up on coachway.io/kahunas/, where the checkout shows 30 days free and your price after it. Then you tell us what to move. A person on our team replies the same day on weekdays and tells you before anything changes what can move across and what you set up again: client payment subscriptions are set up again on your own Stripe.
