Kahunas vs BridgeAthletic: price, client app and moving in, side by side.
BridgeAthletic is one of the platforms coaches have named in public discussion of the Kahunas 2.0 update. This page compares the two on what a coach who is thinking of leaving Kahunas checks: what each costs at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients, the client app, training, nutrition, check-ins, payments, the trial, branding, and what each says about moving in. Every fact comes from the vendor's own page, linked and dated.

the short answer
BridgeAthletic describes itself as strength and conditioning software, with four plans on fixed client bands. Kahunas prices per seat. Worked out from both published lists, billed monthly, Kahunas comes to USD 50 at 10 clients, USD 62.50 at 25, USD 100 at 50 and USD 150 at 100, against BridgeAthletic's USD 49, 69, 119 and 167. BridgeAthletic says it imports programs from spreadsheets, PDFs or notes. Its pages do not mention Kahunas, so ask it what it can take before you cancel anything.
What is BridgeAthletic, and is it for online coaches?
The site at bridgeathletic.com calls the product "Strength and Conditioning Software for the Digital Age" and says you can design custom programs, train in person or remotely and track performance (checked 12 November 2026). It lists five groups it serves: athletic organizations, independent trainers, gyms and clubs, tactical organizations and youth organizations.
For a coach who sells programs to individuals, the page to read is its independent trainers page. It says the platform can "Deliver online training to anyone, anywhere" and that the same app covers in-person, remote and hybrid training. It also carries the only price list we found on the site: the home page lists no prices.
Kahunas is a different shape. By its own account, Kahunas 2.0 is built around one client app installed from the coach's link in three taps, with pay-per-seat pricing (checked 12 November 2026). Both list programs, nutrition, forms and payments. They differ in how they charge.
Kahunas vs BridgeAthletic price at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients
Kahunas charges per seat: each active client and each team member is one seat, at USD 5.00 for 3 to 24 seats, USD 2.50 for 25 to 49, USD 2.00 for 50 to 99 and USD 1.50 for 100 to 199, before tax (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 12 November 2026). BridgeAthletic lists plans by client band. The table puts the nearest band that holds each client count next to the Kahunas sum.
| Clients | Kahunas sum | Kahunas a month | BridgeAthletic plan | BridgeAthletic a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 clients | 10 seats x USD 5.00 | USD 50 | Standard (up to 15 clients) | USD 49 |
| 25 clients | 25 seats x USD 2.50 | USD 62.50 | Professional, 35-client option | USD 69 |
| 50 clients | 50 seats x USD 2.00 | USD 100 | Professional, 70-client option | USD 119 |
| 100 clients | 100 seats x USD 1.50 | USD 150 | Business (100 clients, up to 10 trainers) | USD 167 |
Sources, checked 12 November 2026: kahunas.io/pricing and bridgeathletic.com/personal-trainer. The sums are our own arithmetic from the two lists, billed monthly, counting clients only.
What the table shows: BridgeAthletic is USD 1 lower at 10 clients, and Kahunas is lower at 25, 50 and 100. The gap is USD 6.50 at 25 clients, USD 19 at 50 and USD 17 at 100. The table shows four counts only, and at others the order can flip: 30 clients is USD 75 on Kahunas and USD 69 on BridgeAthletic.
Four things the table cannot show. The BridgeAthletic page says "per month" and does not say whether a yearly price differs. Professional lists "Client seat add-ons" with no price. BridgeAthletic lists one trainer on Standard and Professional and up to 10 on Business, while Kahunas counts each team member as a seat and lists team seats as a feature from 50 seats. And Kahunas unlocks features by seat count: recipes and automations start at 25 seats (see our Kahunas per-seat pricing explainer).
BridgeAthletic's Enterprise plan, for more than 100 clients, says "Contact Us for pricing", so there is no figure to compare above 100.

Each cell is what that vendor's own page says, checked 12 November 2026. Where a page says nothing, the cell says so. We have not tested either product.
| Kahunas | BridgeAthletic | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per seat, from USD 5.00 to USD 0.50 a seat a month as seats rise | Four plans: USD 49, USD 69 or 119, USD 167 a month, and Enterprise on request |
| Client app | One web app clients install from your link in three taps | Native iOS, Android and tablet apps, it says, for in-person and remote training |
| Training | Workout builder on every plan; 1,700+ exercise videos | Program builder with 20+ parameters such as tempo and rep ranges; it says 3,000+ exercises; tablet mode for the weight room |
| Nutrition | Nutrition plans on every plan; 1.5 million+ foods with barcode scanning; recipes from 25 seats | Nutrition programming on Standard; it describes Meal Plan AI and macro auto-adjustment per client; meal scanning AI is marked beta in its help centre |
| Check-ins | Check-in forms on every plan; side-by-side check-ins in its 2.0 post | Custom forms for daily, weekly or monthly check-ins, scheduled on a cadence, with built-in graphs |
| Payments | Your own Stripe or PayPal; states 0% commission | Business hub and online payments on Standard; Stripe; says it takes no transaction fees |
| Free trial | 14 days; its FAQ says the card is taken at sign-up and nothing is charged until the trial ends | "30 Days FREE. Cancel Anytime." The page text we read does not say whether a card is needed |
| Branded app | From 200 seats: your logo and colour on the web app, own kahunas.app address | No branded client app described on the pages we read; 10 branded product pages on Professional |
| Moving in | For leaving it, it documents data copies (see below) | Imports spreadsheets, PDFs or notes; nothing found about moving from Kahunas |
Sources, checked 12 November 2026: kahunas.io/pricing, kahunas.io/blog/kahunas-2-0, kahunas.io/features/branded-app, bridgeathletic.com/personal-trainer, and BridgeAthletic's help articles on processing fees and meal scanning AI.
On payments the two sit close: each says it takes no cut, and Stripe's or PayPal's own fees apply on top. BridgeAthletic's help centre lists Stripe at 2.9% + USD 0.30 per card transaction.
On training, the two pages lead with different things. BridgeAthletic's page leads with programming detail and gym-floor tools (a tablet mode, 20+ parameters per exercise and a corrective-movement assessment) and also lists messaging, check-in forms, nutrition and payments. Kahunas's pages lead with check-ins, habits, messaging, packages and payments.
What each says about moving from Kahunas to BridgeAthletic
BridgeAthletic. Its independent trainers page says: "Migrate your programs in seconds. Import your spreadsheets, PDFs or notes. AI rebuilds them in Bridge, ready to customize and assign." Its feature list also names "AI powered workout import and program generation (beta)". Neither line mentions Kahunas or any other coaching platform, and we found no page on its site that says it moves data out of Kahunas. Its help centre describes a CSV template for adding athletes in bulk, up to 800 at a time, with first name, last name, email and team name required (bulk upload article, checked 12 November 2026).
Kahunas. Its help centre describes two copies. The owner can generate a per-client data copy: a zip with profile, check-ins, form answers, workout and nutrition logs, measurements, goals, payment records and uploaded photos. The download link works for 72 hours, and the help page says chat messages are not in the copy yet. For your own account data, "Kahunas support will prepare a copy of your account data and email download links to your sign-in email address within one month" (responding to a client data request, checked 12 November 2026). The account copy is requested with a button on the Your own data card and then prepared by Kahunas support. The help page does not describe an instant download of the whole account.
Ask BridgeAthletic in writing what it can take, and in what format, before you cancel Kahunas. Our guide on how to switch from Kahunas lists the steps on the Kahunas side.
Kahunas or BridgeAthletic: which fits which coach?
- You coach athletes and write detailed programs. BridgeAthletic is built around that, by its own description: strength and conditioning, tablet use in the weight room, tempo and rep-range parameters, a large exercise library by its count.
- You want a per-seat price that steps down as the roster grows. Kahunas lists USD 5.00 a seat at 3 to 24 seats, falling to USD 1.50 at 100 to 199 seats (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 12 November 2026). At 25, 50 and 100 clients its worked monthly total is lower than BridgeAthletic's, but not at every count in between (see the table and the note under it).
- You want a branded client app. Kahunas describes one from 200 seats. The BridgeAthletic pages we read do not describe one, and its Enterprise plan is priced on request, so ask its team.
Still building a shortlist? Our Kahunas alternatives guide covers the wider field. Whichever you pick, run real clients through a trial before you cancel the old plan.
Where Coachway fits, and where it does not
Where it fits. Coachway is built for online fitness and nutrition coaches. The library holds 1,700+ exercises with demos, you can add your own with an upload or a YouTube link, and there is a built-in recipe and ingredient library for meal plans. A check-in lands as one card in the chat with the weight change, ratings, photos and answers, and you reply in the same thread. The client app and the coach dashboard come in eight languages, with five of them reviewed by native-speaking coaches. Payments run on your own Stripe.
Where it does not. Coachway has no white-label app: your logo and colours go on the progress images you share, not inside the client app. It has no free plan. Coachway takes 2.4% per transaction on payments plus Stripe's fees, while Kahunas and BridgeAthletic each say they take no cut of their own. On price, Kahunas costs less per client than Coachway. And Coachway is not strength and conditioning software: it is built for remote fitness and nutrition coaching, not for team sport or the weight room.
If you are leaving Kahunas and your work is remote coaching with check-ins and nutrition, Coachway may be worth a look beside these two. Current prices are on our pricing page.

Kahunas vs BridgeAthletic, frequently asked.
Is BridgeAthletic cheaper than Kahunas?
At 10 clients, by USD 1, and at some counts in between. Worked out from both published lists on 12 November 2026, billed monthly and counting clients only, Kahunas is USD 50 at 10 clients, USD 62.50 at 25, USD 100 at 50 and USD 150 at 100. BridgeAthletic lists USD 49, 69, 119 and 167 for the bands that hold those counts. Between those counts it changes: at 12 clients Kahunas is USD 60 against USD 49, at 30 clients USD 75 against USD 69, and at 70 clients USD 140 against USD 119. Kahunas counts team members as seats and lists team seats as a feature from 50 seats, so a coach with assistants should check both points.
Does BridgeAthletic publish its prices?
Yes for four plans, with one exception. Its independent trainers page lists Standard at USD 49 a month for 15 clients, Professional at USD 69 for 35 clients or USD 119 for 70 clients, and Business at USD 167 for 100 clients. Enterprise, for more than 100 clients, says "Contact Us for pricing". Professional also lists "Client seat add-ons" without a price. Checked 12 November 2026.
How do Kahunas and BridgeAthletic differ for an online coach?
BridgeAthletic describes itself as strength and conditioning software with a tablet mode for the weight room, and its independent trainers page also lists remote coaching, messaging, check-in forms, nutrition programming and online payments. Kahunas lists check-ins, habits, messaging, nutrition plans and payments on every seat plan. Run the same real clients through both trials before you pay.
Can I move my clients from Kahunas to BridgeAthletic?
We found no page where BridgeAthletic describes moving data from Kahunas, so we cannot say what comes across. BridgeAthletic says you can import spreadsheets, PDFs or notes, and its help centre describes a CSV upload of up to 800 athletes. Kahunas documents a per-client data copy and a copy of your account data from its support. Ask BridgeAthletic what it can take before you cancel anything.
Do both take a cut of my client payments?
Each says it does not. Kahunas states 0% commission on your sales, with clients paying through your own Stripe or PayPal account. BridgeAthletic says in its help centre that it does not take any transaction fees and that processing fees go to Stripe, which it lists at 2.9% + USD 0.30 per card transaction. Stripe and PayPal fees still apply either way. Checked 12 November 2026.
Does either one give me my own branded client app?
Kahunas does from 200 seats: your logo and brand colour on its web app, which clients install from your link, with a kahunas.app address of your own. On the BridgeAthletic pages we read, the only branding we found was 10 branded product pages for selling programs on the Professional plan. We found no branded or white-label client app described there. Its Enterprise plan is priced on request, so ask BridgeAthletic directly. Checked 12 November 2026.
Does Coachway work for coaches leaving Kahunas?
Coachway is built for online fitness and nutrition coaches, and the offer for coaches leaving Kahunas is in the box above. Client payment subscriptions are never moved: they are set up again on your own Stripe. Coachway costs more per client than Kahunas and has no free plan and no white-label app.
