Kahunas per-seat pricing: what a seat is, how the tier is chosen and what it means for your plan.
Kahunas now prices by seat. This page answers the questions a coach already on Kahunas has: what counts as a seat, how the price per seat is set, what each tier unlocks, what 8, 30, 60 and 120 clients cost, and whether you have to change plan. For the full price table and wider comparison, see our Kahunas pricing reference. Every Kahunas fact here is from Kahunas's own pages, checked on 11 November 2026 and linked where it is used.

the short answer
On Kahunas a seat is one active client or one non-archived team member. The price per seat falls as the seat count rises, from USD 5.00 a month at 3 to 24 seats to USD 0.50 from 1,000, with 20 percent off yearly, and Kahunas bills a bigger tier when it costs the same or less. At 8, 30, 60 and 120 clients that comes to USD 40, 75, 120 and 180 a month billed monthly. By Kahunas's own account nobody is moved automatically: existing coaches keep their current plan, price and features until they choose a seat plan themselves.

What counts as a seat on Kahunas?
Per kahunas.io/pricing (checked 11 November 2026), a seat is each active client, including clients who have not accepted their invite yet, and each team member who is not archived. The owner and leads do not take a seat. The minimum is 3 seats, so the smallest plan is USD 15 a month, or USD 12 a month billed yearly. Prices are in US dollars, before tax.
Two things follow for a working coach. Team members count: a coach with 8 clients and 2 assistants has 10 seats. And an invited client who has not signed up yet already holds a seat, so the seat count is the number you invited, not the number who log in.
Kahunas says you cannot add clients past your seat count until you move up a tier or add seats. One exception: "Clients who buy one of your packages can always join, and your seats rise to cover them at your next renewal." Kahunas also states 0 percent commission on your sales, with clients paying through your own Stripe or PayPal.
How does Kahunas choose your tier?
Your seat count sets the tier, and one price per seat applies to every seat you have. It is not a graduated rate where the first 24 seats cost one price and the next ones another. At 30 seats, all 30 are USD 2.50.
Near each tier boundary a bigger tier can cost the same or less than your own, and Kahunas covers that: "You always get the lowest price." If a bigger tier costs the same or less than your own, Kahunas bills the bigger tier. Its examples on the pricing page: 45 clients pay USD 100 for 50 seats rather than USD 112.50, and 75 clients are billed as 100 seats at USD 150. In practice, from about 40 clients up to 49 you pay the 50-seat price. The same applies at the bottom of the ladder: from 13 to 24 clients you pay the 25-seat price of USD 62.50 (Kahunas's 2.0 blog post says 13 to 24 seats never exceed USD 62.50 a month). Kahunas's pricing page suggests the bigger plan's features come with it, so check with Kahunas support if you rely on one.
| Seats | Per seat a month, monthly | Per seat a month, yearly |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 24 | USD 5.00 | USD 4.00 |
| 25 to 49 | USD 2.50 | USD 2.00 |
| 50 to 99 | USD 2.00 | USD 1.60 |
| 100 to 199 | USD 1.50 | USD 1.20 |
| 200 to 999 | USD 1.00 | USD 0.80 |
| 1,000+ | USD 0.50 | USD 0.40 |
Source: kahunas.io/pricing, checked 11 November 2026. The tier boundary near 40 clients follows from this ladder: 40 seats at USD 2.50 and 50 seats at USD 2.00 are both USD 100. The one near 13 too: 13 seats at USD 5.00 are USD 65, more than 25 seats at USD 2.50 (USD 62.50).
What unlocks at 25, 50, 100 and 200 seats?
Kahunas gates some features by tier, so your client count decides what you can use as well as what you pay. As listed on kahunas.io/pricing on 11 November 2026:
| Seats | What the tier adds |
|---|---|
| 3 to 24 | The core coaching tools: workout builder, nutrition plans, check-in forms, habit tracking, messaging, payments and packages, wearables, lab analysis, calendar, AI insights |
| 25 to 49 | Recipes, automations, leads, Zapier and Make, roadmaps |
| 50 to 99 | Crew AI assistants, priority support, team seats, exercise analysis, screen recorder |
| 100 to 199 | Education, challenges, communities |
| 200 to 999 | White label: the branded web app |
| 1,000+ | The lowest price per seat |
- At 25 seats: recipes, automations, leads, Zapier and Make, and roadmaps.
- At 50 seats: the Crew AI assistants, priority support, team seats, exercise analysis and the screen recorder.
- At 100 seats: education, challenges and communities.
- At 200 seats: white label, which Kahunas describes as the branded web app (kahunas.io/features/branded-app, checked 11 November 2026).
If you rely on a gated feature, check it against your own client count, not just the price. A coach with 10 clients on the 3 to 24 tier does not get automations or recipes. From 13 clients, Kahunas's lowest-price rule bills 25 seats at USD 62.50 a month, and a coach with 45 clients is billed as 50 seats. Kahunas's pricing page suggests the bigger plan's features come with it, so check with Kahunas support before you count on one.
What Kahunas costs at 8, 30, 60 and 120 clients
We worked these out from the ladder above. Each count sits inside its tier, and the next tier up would cost more, so the lowest-price rule does not change the result. These count clients only: add a seat for each team member. Kahunas's own blog post gives examples at other counts: 5 seats USD 25, 20 seats USD 62.50 and 100 seats USD 150 (kahunas.io/blog/kahunas-2-0, checked 11 November 2026).
| Clients | A month, billed monthly | A month, billed yearly | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 clients | USD 40 | USD 32 | 8 seats at USD 5.00 (3 to 24 tier) |
| 30 clients | USD 75 | USD 60 | 30 seats at USD 2.50 (25 to 49 tier) |
| 60 clients | USD 120 | USD 96 | 60 seats at USD 2.00 (50 to 99 tier) |
| 120 clients | USD 180 | USD 144 | 120 seats at USD 1.50 (100 to 199 tier) |
One thing the numbers show: the cost per client falls as you grow, from USD 5.00 at 8 clients to USD 1.50 at 120. For more counts and a side by side with other platforms, use our Kahunas pricing breakdown.
Monthly or yearly on Kahunas
Yearly billing takes 20 percent off every seat and is billed once a year. At 30 clients that is USD 60 a month billed yearly (USD 720 a year) against USD 75 billed monthly (USD 900 a year). Per the pricing page, the timing of changes differs: moving to fewer seats, or from yearly to monthly, takes effect at the end of the period, while adding seats or switching to yearly starts straight away and you pay the difference.
The trial is 14 days, and per Kahunas's pricing FAQ the card is taken when you sign up, with the date of the first charge shown before you confirm (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 11 November 2026). On the same page, Kahunas's founder writes: "Try Kahunas for 3 months, not just 14 days. If you're not satisfied for any reason, message us in the chat and I'll personally refund you the same day." Free trials, renewals, cancellation and refunds are also covered in sections 12, 13 and 15 of Kahunas's terms for coaches (kahunas.io/trust/terms-coaches, version 1.1, checked 11 November 2026).
Did Kahunas raise its prices?
Here is exactly what Kahunas publishes. Its pricing page lists the per-seat ladder above, and its Kahunas 2.0 blog post (updated 28 October 2026) presents pay-per-seat pricing as part of the update, with "Prices checked 28 October 2026". We found no page on kahunas.io that calls the new model an increase or a decrease, and no page that lists the earlier prices, so we cannot compare old with new from Kahunas's own words, and we do not.
Whether a seat plan costs you more or less than your current plan depends on your client count, your team and which features you use. That is a sum you can do with the worked examples above and your own bill.
Some coaches have said in public comments that they worry about price changes. That is what coaches report, not something Kahunas says, and we have not verified it. Our Kahunas 2.0 explainer covers the wider update and what Kahunas says it is for.
Do existing coaches keep their current plan?
Kahunas says yes. Its pricing FAQ asks "I already use Kahunas. Does my price change?" and answers: "No. You keep your current plan, price and features until you choose a seat plan yourself on Your plan. We never move you." (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 11 November 2026.) By Kahunas's own account, then, nobody is moved to a seat plan automatically. The seat plan is something you choose, from Your plan in your account.
Two related points from Kahunas's help centre. If your clients are on the iOS or Android app, it says to switch to a seats plan first before using the new web app install, and businesses still on the legacy mobile apps keep those apps (Installing the Kahunas app, checked 11 November 2026).
If you are unsure which plan you are on, Kahunas support can confirm it for your account. If you are weighing a move, our Kahunas alternative guide compares the options, and how to switch from Kahunas walks through the steps.
