Kahunas alternatives for US coaches: what each one costs in dollars at 10, 25 and 50 clients, and which say they support pounds and imperial units.
Coaches in the United States ask three things when they look past Kahunas: does it bill in US dollars, will my clients see pounds and ounces, and what will 10, 25 or 50 clients cost. This page answers with each vendor's own published words, fetched on 12 November 2026. Where a vendor says nothing, we say so. For the wider list, see our Kahunas alternatives guide.

the short answer
Most Kahunas alternatives publish dollar prices. On their own pages, the monthly plan price at 10 clients runs from USD 25 on Hevy Coach to USD 69.98 on TrueCoach, with Kahunas at USD 50 (Trainerize's page text gives Pro prices only for 5 and 50 clients). Trainerize, Everfit, FitBudd and HubFit document an imperial or pounds setting for clients, Superset documents lb or kg per program, and Coachway shows lb, in, oz and cups on its US setting. Kahunas costs less per client than Coachway, so check the unit and payment details below before price decides it.
What should a US coach check in a Kahunas alternative?
Four things decide most US switches. First, the currency the vendor names. A dollar sign is not a currency statement, and several pricing pages show one without saying USD. Second, the units your clients see. If you coach in pounds, ounces, inches and cups, you need a setting that is documented, not assumed. Third, how client payments run: through your own Stripe or through the platform, and what fee sits on top. Fourth, what happens to the price when your roster grows from 10 to 25 to 50.
Kahunas published its Kahunas 2.0 update with per-seat pricing, and some coaches have said in public comments that they are comparing other platforms. That is what coaches report, and we have not verified it. Our Kahunas 2.0 explainer covers what Kahunas says the update is for. Kahunas also says existing coaches keep their current plan and price until they choose a seat plan themselves.
One limit on everything below: we fetched these pages from a server. We cannot see whether a visitor in the United States is shown different amounts or a different currency from the ones we saw. Treat the numbers as a starting point and confirm on the vendor's page before you sign up.
What do Kahunas and its alternatives cost at 10, 25 and 50 clients?
Each cell is the monthly plan price, billed monthly, that covers that many clients, as the vendor's pricing page stated on 12 November 2026. We took the lowest plan that covers the client count. Rows run from the lowest 25-client price to the highest. This is a plan-price table, not a ranking: the plans differ in what they include, and the right-hand column says where we know of a difference.
| Platform | 10 clients | 25 clients | 50 clients | What the number covers | Free tier or trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HubFit | $39 | $39 | $39 | Standard, up to 50 clients. $31 billed annually. Payments and packages start on Premium ($69, up to 100 clients). | Free plan, 2 clients. "No credit card required." |

Our arithmetic from the ladder. | 14-day trial. Kahunas says Stripe takes your card at sign-up, and its payments page says "14-day free trial, then a 3-month money-back guarantee." |
| Everfit | $29 | $75 | $95 | Pro. Its steps are 5, 10, 20, 35 and 50 clients, so 25 clients means the 35-client step. Payments add-on from $9, meal plans add-on from $39 (monthly). | Starter is free for up to 5 clients. Pro trial: "No credit card required". |
| FitBudd | $47 | $89 | $139 | Starter is $15 for 2 clients plus $4 for each extra. Pro is $79 for 20 clients plus $2 for each extra. Our arithmetic. Payments are a listed add-on. | "Try for Free" on Starter and Pro. |

| Trainerize | See note | See note | USD 135 | Its FAQ gives Pro at USD 25 for up to 5 clients and USD 135 for up to 50. Its seat steps are 5, 15, 30 and 50 (and larger). The 15 and 30 step prices load by script and were not in the page text we read, so we left them out. Stripe payments add-on USD 10 a month, branded app USD 169 one-time. | Free plan, 1 client, "no credit card required". |
| Coachway (our product) | On the offer page | On the offer page | On the offer page | We do not print a Coachway price here, because our prices differ by country and this page is read worldwide. The switch offer page shows yours. | No free plan. Card required at sign-up. |
All sources checked 12 November 2026. For the Kahunas seat rules behind the first Kahunas row, see Kahunas per-seat pricing. The Coachway row has no amount on purpose: see the Coachway section below. Amounts shown with a $ sign are dollar amounts as printed on the vendor page; that page does not name the currency.
What do these prices leave out?
Four gaps matter for a US coach.
- Payments. Kahunas states 0% commission, with clients paying through your own Stripe or PayPal. Superset lists "Stripe + 4%" on Base and "Stripe only" on Pro. Trainerize lists Stripe payments as a USD 10 a month add-on. Everfit lists a payments add-on from $9. HubFit puts payments and packages on Premium. TrueCoach says its plans include "Free Automated Payments". Stripe's own card fees apply on top wherever you use Stripe.
- Add-ons. Trainerize lists advanced nutrition at USD 20 or USD 45 a month and a USD 169 one-time branded app. Everfit lists a meal plans add-on from $39. The table shows plan prices only.
- Feature tiers. Kahunas lists recipes, automations and leads from 25 seats, team seats from 50 and its branded web app from 200. HubFit lists custom branding from Premium. Check that the tier you price is the tier that has what you use.
- Tax. Kahunas says its prices are before tax and Trainerize says its prices are subject to applicable taxes. Others do not say. Sales tax on coaching varies by state, so ask your accountant.
Which Kahunas alternatives bill in USD and support pounds and imperial units?
This table repeats only what each vendor says on its own page. "No statement found" means we read the pages listed and did not find one. It does not mean the feature is missing. If imperial units matter to you, ask the vendor in writing before you move clients.
| Platform | Currency and payments, in its words | Pounds and imperial units |
|---|---|---|
| Kahunas | US dollars, before tax. Payments in 17 currencies through your own Stripe or PayPal, 0% commission. | We found no page that says whether clients can choose pounds or kilograms. |
| Trainerize | "All prices are in USD and subject to applicable taxes." | Yes. Its help centre: "Imperial (lbs, miles, inches, oz) or Metric (kg, km, cm, ml)". Clients can pick their own, and it converts between them. Help article updated 10 March 2026. |
| Everfit | Dollar prices on its page. The page does not name the currency. | Yes. Its help centre lets you set units per client, "Lbs to Kgs and vice versa", and says metrics "may use the Imperial or Metric unit system". Article dated 6 April 2026. |
| TrueCoach | "All prices are in USD." | Its help centre lists "measurement units" among a client's profile details when you add a client, but does not say which units. Nothing on its pricing or features page. |
| Superset | USD in its page data. Stripe fee shown as "2.9% + 30¢ per card payment", plus 4% on Base. | Its help centre says a program's default weight unit is "lb or kg", with g or oz allowed per set. It does not describe a client-side unit setting. |
| Hevy Coach | "/USD month". | Clients are coached through the Hevy app, and Hevy's help page says you can change an exercise's unit between kg and lbs there. It does not say whether a coach sets a client's units. |
| PT Distinction | USD. | No statement found on the pages we read. |
| HubFit | Dollar prices on its page. The page does not name the currency. | Yes. Its help centre says clients enter height "in metric or imperial units" and set units under Preferences in the client app. |
| FitBudd | Dollar prices on its page. The page does not name the currency. | Yes. Its help centre says clients choose a unit system in the app, "Metric, Imperial" or Custom, and the coach dashboard offers Imperial, Imperial US, Metric or Custom. |
| Coachway (our product) | Clients pay into your own Stripe account. Coachway takes 2.4% per transaction, plus Stripe's fees. | Yes. Every client sees the app in US, UK or metric units, set by you or by them. The US setting shows lb, in, oz and cups. |
TrainerStudio lists a free plan for the first 3 clients and says its prices follow the cost of living where you coach. We did not find a US-dollar plan price on the copy we fetched. My PT Hub showed euro amounts on the copy we fetched, and lists a free plan and a 30-day trial. We left both out of the cost table. Both checked 12 November 2026.
What does Kahunas offer a US coach?
Kahunas lists its prices in US dollars before tax, with a 14-day trial. Per its pricing FAQ, Stripe takes your card when you sign up and charges nothing until the trial ends (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 12 November 2026). Its payments page says "0% commission", clients paying through your own Stripe or PayPal, and "17 currencies" (kahunas.io/features/payments, checked 12 November 2026). That page also states "14-day free trial, then a 3-month money-back guarantee" (same page, checked 12 November 2026).
On price, the table above shows Kahunas at USD 50, USD 62.50 and USD 100 for 10, 25 and 50 clients, and its per-seat price falls as you add clients, from USD 5.00 to USD 2.00 a seat between 10 and 50 clients. Some coaches said in public that they liked Kahunas before the update, and Kahunas says existing coaches keep their current plan and price. If Kahunas already does what you need, you may have no reason to move.
What we could not confirm: whether Kahunas has a unit setting for pounds and imperial measures for clients. We read its pricing, payments, nutrition, workouts and check-in pages and its help centre, all on 12 November 2026, and found no statement either way. Kahunas support can answer the unit question for your account.
Where does Coachway fit for a US coach?
Coachway is built by Coachway ApS in Copenhagen, Denmark. Here is what a US coach should know, including the parts that count against us.
- Units. Every client sees the app in US, UK or metric units, set by you or by them. The US setting shows lb, in, oz and cups.
- Payments. Clients pay into your own Stripe account. Coachway takes 2.4% per transaction, plus Stripe's fees. Kahunas states 0% commission.
- Price. Kahunas costs less per client than Coachway. We print no Coachway amount on this page: our prices differ by country, and this page is read worldwide. The switch offer page shows the price for your country, so you see it before you sign up.
- What we do not have. There is no free plan and no white-label app. Your clients use the Coachway app, and your logo and brand colours go on the progress images you share, not inside the app. The sign-up takes a card.
- Contract. Month to month, no minimum term.

Kahunas alternatives for US coaches, frequently asked.
What is the best Kahunas alternative for a US coach?
It depends on what you need to keep. If you want the lowest monthly figure at 10 clients, the published prices above put Hevy Coach at USD 25, Everfit at $29 and HubFit at $39. If you want a documented imperial unit setting, Trainerize, Everfit, FitBudd and HubFit each describe one. If you want a team to move your clients and you accept a card at sign-up, that is what we offer. Checked 12 November 2026.
Which Kahunas alternatives price in US dollars?
Trainerize says "All prices are in USD", TrueCoach says "All prices are in USD", Hevy Coach shows "/USD month", PT Distinction lists USD, and Superset lists USD in its page data. HubFit, Everfit and FitBudd show dollar signs without naming the currency. My PT Hub showed euro amounts on the copy we fetched, and TrainerStudio says its prices follow the country you coach in. We fetched from a server, so a visitor in the US may see something different. Checked 12 November 2026.
Which coaching apps let clients use pounds and imperial units?
Only where the vendor says so. Trainerize documents Imperial (lbs, miles, inches, oz) or Metric (kg, km, cm, ml), and Everfit documents a lbs to kgs unit setting per client. FitBudd and HubFit document an imperial setting for clients, and Superset documents lb or kg per program. Hevy's help page says the Hevy app can switch an exercise between kg and lbs. Coachway shows lb, in, oz and cups to clients on the US setting. For Kahunas and PT Distinction we found no statement naming imperial units, and TrueCoach's help centre lists "measurement units" as a client field without naming pounds. That does not mean the feature is missing. Ask their support before you move. Checked 12 November 2026.
