Kahunas vs Launchsite: price at 10 to 100 clients, client app, payments and moving in.
Launchsite is one of the platforms coaches have named in public discussion of the Kahunas 2.0 update. This page compares the two on price at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients, client app, training, nutrition, check-ins, payments, branding and what Launchsite says about moving in. Every Launchsite fact comes from its own site, linked and dated.

Disclosure: we build Coachway, which competes with both products. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Kahunas or Launchsite. We checked the facts on this page on 12 November 2026, from each company's own pages (sources). A correction or a statement can be sent to [email protected].
the short answer
Kahunas prices per seat, at USD 5.00 a seat at 10 clients and USD 1.50 a seat at 100, with 0% commission. Launchsite sells flat tiers from USD 49 a month for up to 10 clients to USD 249 for up to 300, with payments from its Pro tier. On those published prices Kahunas is lower at 25, 50 and 100 clients, by USD 67.49, 99.99 and 99 a month billed monthly. Launchsite lists a client app on the App Store and Google Play, a built-in CRM and Custom Branding at a one-time USD 299 on Base and Pro; Kahunas lists its branded web app from 200 clients.
What is Launchsite, and which one is this?
This page covers LaunchSite OS, the coaching software at launchsite-os.com. Its About page says it is operated by LaunchSite OS, LLC, that its official website is launchsite-os.com, and that LaunchSite, Launch Site and LaunchSiteOS are short forms of the same name (checked 12 November 2026). Other, unrelated businesses use similar names, so check the address before you sign up for anything.
Launchsite describes itself as coaching practice software for health, fitness and nutrition professionals. Its sign-up page calls it "the operating system for elite functional health coaching" (get started, checked 12 November 2026). It lists a CRM, training programs, meal plans, check-ins, automations, an AI workspace and community announcements in the client app.

Kahunas vs Launchsite price at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients.
The two price differently, so the only fair way to compare is to pick a client count and work out the bill. Kahunas charges per seat: one seat for each active client and each team member who is not archived, with a 3-seat minimum, and one price per seat for every seat you have (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 12 November 2026). Launchsite sells tiers with a client limit: Base up to 10 clients, Pro in two sizes up to 40 and up to 80, Elite up to 300 clients with two coaches, and Enterprise on custom pricing (launchsite-os.com/pricing, checked 12 November 2026).
The table counts clients only. Payments and invoicing start at Launchsite Pro, so the 10-client row gives Base and Pro. US dollars, before tax.
| Clients | Kahunas, monthly | Kahunas, yearly (20% off) | Launchsite, monthly | Launchsite, annual (15% off), per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10 x USD 5.00 = USD 50 | 10 x USD 4.00 = USD 40 | Base: USD 49 (no payments and invoicing). With payments, Pro Tier 1: USD 129.99 | Base: USD 41.65. Pro Tier 1: USD 110.49 |
| 25 | 25 x USD 2.50 = USD 62.50 | 25 x USD 2.00 = USD 50 | Pro Tier 1 (up to 40): USD 129.99 | USD 110.49 |
| 50 | 50 x USD 2.00 = USD 100 | 50 x USD 1.60 = USD 80 | Pro Tier 2 (up to 80): USD 199.99 | USD 169.99 |
| 100 | 100 x USD 1.50 = USD 150 | 100 x USD 1.20 = USD 120 | Elite (300 clients, 2 coaches): USD 249 | USD 211.67 |
Annual Launchsite billing is paid upfront, and Kahunas yearly is billed once a year. Kahunas's ladder is USD 5.00, 2.50, 2.00, 1.50, 1.00 and 0.50 per seat a month from 3, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 1,000 seats; our Kahunas per-seat pricing guide explains how the tier is chosen.
At 10 clients the two sit within a dollar of each other, but Launchsite's USD 49 plan leaves out payments. From 25 clients the Kahunas bill is lower on the published prices: USD 67.49 less a month at 25 clients, USD 99.99 less at 50 and USD 99 less at 100, billed monthly. Launchsite's tiers are flat inside a band, so the price stays the same from the first client in a band to the last.
Three things the table does not show. Launchsite says archived clients count toward its limit, and only permanently deleting a client frees the space; Kahunas says archived clients take no seat. Launchsite lists add-ons separately, such as Custom Branding at USD 299 one-time and a custom domain at USD 15 a month on Elite and Enterprise. And Kahunas unlocks features by seat tier: recipes, automations and leads from 25 seats, team seats from 50, communities from 100, the branded app from 200.
One note for coaches already on Kahunas. Kahunas says: "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 12 November 2026.) The numbers above are for a new plan on either side.

where kahunas is ahead
Kahunas
On the published numbers the Kahunas bill is lower from 25 clients up, and it states 0% commission with Stripe or PayPal, with archived clients taking no seat. It also states 1,700+ exercise videos (workouts) and over 1.5 million foods with barcode scanning (nutrition), both checked 12 November 2026.
Choose Kahunas if: price per client is the deciding number, you want PayPal as well as Stripe, and you do not need a branded app below 200 clients. The trade-off: some features, recipes included, unlock by seat tier, and Kahunas says its branded app installs from a link with no App Store or Google Play listing (branded app, checked 12 November 2026).
where launchsite is ahead
Launchsite
Launchsite says clients can get its app from the App Store or Google Play after the coach invites them (client experience, checked 12 November 2026). Custom Branding is a one-time USD 299 add-on on Base and Pro and included in Elite and Enterprise, where Kahunas starts its branded app at 200 clients. It lists a CRM with pipeline, booking, agreements and payment records on the client record (CRM), and Launchsite says its flat rates within each tier let you know what you pay.
Choose Launchsite if: you want a CRM and client app under one roof, a store listing for clients, and branding without a 200-client threshold, and a higher bill than Kahunas from 25 clients up is acceptable. The trade-offs: payments are not on its USD 49 plan, archived clients count toward the limit, and Elite has no free trial.
Moving from Kahunas to Launchsite: what Launchsite says and what it does not.
Launchsite's pricing FAQ is titled "Can I migrate from Everfit or TrueCoach?" Its answer: "Pro and Elite plans include self-serve migration tools. Enterprise clients receive full done-for-you data transfer handled by our team." Its Enterprise list also carries "Data migration, fully handled" (launchsite-os.com/pricing, checked 12 November 2026). Those lines name Everfit and TrueCoach. We found no Launchsite page that mentions Kahunas, so we cannot say what it can bring across from Kahunas. Ask Launchsite what comes across from Kahunas and what does not, and whether the migration tools are on the plan you would buy.
On the Kahunas side, its help centre describes a per-client data copy as a zip file, with a download link that works for 72 hours, and says chat messages are not in the copy yet. It also says Kahunas support prepares a copy of the coach's own account data and emails download links within one month (help.kahunas.app, checked 12 November 2026). Our guide on how to switch from Kahunas walks through the order of steps, whichever platform you pick.
Where Coachway fits next to Kahunas and Launchsite, and where it does not.
Where it fits. Coachway has 1,700+ exercises with demos and a meal planner that works out the macros. The client app and the coach dashboard come in eight languages, five of them reviewed by native-speaking coaches. A check-in lands as one card in the chat, with weight, ratings and photos and the change since last time, and the Power Panel keeps client list, chat, check-in and plan on one screen. Payments run on your own Stripe account, and the plan is month to month.
Where it does not. Coachway has no white-label or custom-branded client app. Your logo and colours go on the progress images you share, not inside the app. On payments, Coachway takes 2.4% per transaction plus Stripe's fees, where Kahunas states 0% commission. Kahunas costs less per client than Coachway at every client count, so if the lowest bill decides it, Kahunas wins; our pricing page has Coachway's current prices. Coachway has no free plan. Launchsite lists a CRM with pipeline, booking and agreements; this page makes no claim that Coachway matches it.
Pick Kahunas for the lower bill from 25 clients up and PayPal. Pick Launchsite for a CRM, a store listing for clients and branding at any size. Pick Coachway if eight app languages and a one-screen check-in flow matter more than a branded app.

Kahunas vs Launchsite, frequently asked.
Is Launchsite cheaper than Kahunas?
Not on the prices both publish, apart from one dollar at the smallest size. At 10 clients Kahunas is USD 50 a month and Launchsite Base is USD 49, but Base has no payments and invoicing. At 25, 50 and 100 clients Kahunas is USD 62.50, 100 and 150 against Launchsite's USD 129.99, 199.99 and 249, all billed monthly. Prices may have changed since 12 November 2026.
Does Launchsite have a free trial?
Both say 14 days. Launchsite says Base and Pro include it, that you add a card to start and are not billed until day 14, and that Elite has no free trial (launchsite-os.com/pricing). Kahunas says its trial has every feature of the plan, takes your card at sign-up and charges nothing until it ends (kahunas.io/pricing). Both checked 12 November 2026.
Which one gives my clients a branded app?
Both offer branding, on different terms. Kahunas says the branded app is included from 200 clients: your logo and colour on a web app that installs from your link, with no store listing (kahunas.io/features/branded-app). Launchsite sells Custom Branding as a one-time USD 299 unlock for Base and Pro, included in Elite and Enterprise. It also says a separately published coach app has different requirements and costs (launchsite-os.com/pricing and /client-experience). Both checked 12 November 2026.
What does Launchsite say about moving in from another platform?
Launchsite's pricing FAQ, "Can I migrate from Everfit or TrueCoach?", says Pro and Elite include self-serve migration tools and Enterprise gets done-for-you data transfer (checked 12 November 2026). It names Everfit and TrueCoach. We found no Launchsite page that mentions Kahunas, so ask it what can come across from Kahunas, and what is left behind, before you cancel anything.
Where does Coachway fit next to Kahunas and Launchsite?
Coachway fits a coach who wants a client app in eight languages, a meal planner, and check-ins and meal plans on one screen, with payments on their own Stripe account at 2.4% per transaction plus Stripe's fees. It does not fit a coach who needs a white-label or custom-branded client app, and Kahunas costs less per client at every client count. Coachway has no free plan.
