Kahunas vs MyStrengthBook: what each costs at 10 to 100 clients, and what you get.
MyStrengthBook is one of the platforms coaches have named in public discussion of the Kahunas 2.0 update. This page puts the two side by side on what a coach leaving Kahunas checks: price at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients, the client app, training, nutrition, check-ins, payments, the trial and what each vendor says about moving in. Every fact about the two vendors comes from their own pages, linked and checked on 12 November 2026.

the short answer
On the prices both publish, MyStrengthBook PULL is USD 3.99 per client a month and Kahunas is USD 5.00 to 0.50 per seat depending on tier, so on monthly billing MyStrengthBook costs less up to 15 clients and Kahunas costs less from 16, or from 13 if you pay Kahunas yearly (USD 62.50 against USD 99.75 at 25 clients, USD 150 against USD 399 at 100). MyStrengthBook lists a custom branded app with an optional App Store listing and a 14-day trial; Kahunas includes its branded web app from 200 seats. The MyStrengthBook pages we read do not mention importing from Kahunas, so ask it what it can bring across before you commit.

Kahunas vs MyStrengthBook price at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients.
MyStrengthBook's pricing page lists PULL, its 1-on-1 coaching product, at "$3.99 per client, per month" (checked 12 November 2026). Kahunas's pricing page lists a per-seat price that falls by tier: USD 5.00 for 3 to 24 seats, 2.50 for 25 to 49, 2.00 for 50 to 99 and 1.50 for 100 to 199, with 20% off yearly (checked 12 November 2026). Kahunas also says it bills a bigger tier when that costs the same or less. We checked that rule for each count below and it does not change the result.
| Clients | Kahunas, monthly | Kahunas, yearly (20% off) | MyStrengthBook, monthly | MyStrengthBook, yearly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 clients | USD 50.00 10 seats x 5.00 | USD 40.00 | USD 39.90 10 x 3.99 | not published |
| 25 clients | USD 62.50 25 seats x 2.50 | USD 50.00 | USD 99.75 25 x 3.99 | not published |
| 50 clients | USD 100.00 50 seats x 2.00 | USD 80.00 | USD 199.50 50 x 3.99 | not published |
| 100 clients | USD 150.00 100 seats x 1.50 | USD 120.00 | USD 399.00 100 x 3.99 | not published |
On monthly billing, MyStrengthBook costs less at 10 clients and Kahunas costs less from 16 clients up. The crossover is 16 clients: at 15 clients Kahunas bills 25 seats at USD 62.50 against USD 59.85 (15 x 3.99), and at 16 clients USD 62.50 against USD 63.84. Paid yearly, Kahunas costs less from 13 clients (USD 50.00 against USD 51.87), and at 10 clients it is USD 40.00 against USD 39.90. In USD and our own arithmetic from the two published prices. Kahunas states its prices are before tax; MyStrengthBook's page does not say whether tax is included.
What the numbers leave out. Kahunas counts team members as seats and does not count you as the owner. MyStrengthBook's page does not say what counts as a client, whether there is a minimum, or what a paused client costs, so we multiplied the listed price by the client count and nothing else. Where payments run through Stripe or PayPal, their card fees come on top.
Client app and branded app.
Kahunas says its client app installs from the coach's link in three taps, with no app store in between (Kahunas 2.0 post, updated 28 October 2026, checked 12 November 2026). Its branded app page says your logo and colour replace the Kahunas defaults from 200 clients, with no store listing, and that below 200 your clients use the same app with Kahunas branding.
MyStrengthBook describes a mobile app that clients use to log workouts. Its Powerlifting page lists a training log with last week's numbers beside it, a rest timer, automatic PR tracking, video on any set, nutrition tracking, habit check-offs, progress photos and chat (checked 12 November 2026). On branding, its PULL page lists a "Custom branded app" at the same USD 3.99 per client, and says the App Store listing is optional, at "$100/year for an Apple Developer account + $100 one-time setup fee". That is a different route from Kahunas's: a listing in the store under your name is on offer, at a stated extra cost, and it is available without a 200-client threshold, as far as the page says.
Coachway has no white-label app, which we cover below.
Training, nutrition and check-ins.
Training. Kahunas lists the workout builder on every seat tier, a 1,700+ exercise library with volume by muscle group on its homepage, and roadmaps from 25 seats. MyStrengthBook's pricing page lists an advanced program builder, advanced programming protocols, an annual planner and performance reports, and its PULL page lists automated progressions, RPE and percent-of-1RM. If your programming is built around percentages, e1RM and a year plan, check MyStrengthBook's pages for those terms and test both builders against one of your own programs.
Nutrition. Kahunas lists nutrition plans on every tier, recipes from 25 seats and meal plans "from over 1.5 million foods" on its homepage. MyStrengthBook lists nutrition tools and macro targets that differ between training and rest days. It also lists an AI Meal Plan Generator in PULL (pricing page, checked 12 November 2026); its 2 June 2026 product update introduced it as a beta.
Check-ins. Kahunas lists check-in forms on every tier, and its 2.0 post says each check-in is lined up side by side against the previous one or any earlier date you pick, with a screen-recorded reply option from 50 seats. MyStrengthBook describes automated check-ins: scheduled questionnaires that collect training videos, PRs and nutrition data and send organised reports to the coach's dashboard, plus video review tools. Both also list client chat.
Payments and free trial.
Kahunas states "0% commission on your sales": clients pay through the coach's own Stripe or PayPal account, and you pay only Stripe's or PayPal's usual fees (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 12 November 2026). MyStrengthBook's PULL feature list does not mention client payments. Automated payments appear under PUSH, which it lists as "FREE" with a "20% revenue share" and "$0 upfront". The page does not say which processor is used or what card fees apply on top, so ask before you build a payment flow on it.
Both offer a 14-day free trial. Kahunas says Stripe takes your card when you sign up and charges nothing until the trial ends. MyStrengthBook's pages show "Start free trial" and "14-day free trial" buttons and do not say whether a card is taken (checked 12 November 2026).
What each vendor says about moving in.
MyStrengthBook. We read its home, pricing, PULL and Powerlifting pages and its 8 July and 27 October 2026 product updates, plus the 2 June update, on 12 November 2026. None of them mentions Kahunas or importing from another coaching platform. The 27 October update lists an "Import from spreadsheets" tool that turns xlsx, csv, PDF or docs into programs, in private beta. What the PULL page does show is its own setup list: start your free trial, design your mobile app, build your exercise library, add custom features, invite your clients, send them a program. It may offer more help than its site says, so ask it what it can bring across.
Kahunas. Its help centre guide on client data requests (checked 12 November 2026) says that when a client asks for a copy of their data, the owner logs the request and Kahunas emails the client a link to a zip file that works for 72 hours. Kahunas says chat messages are not in that copy yet. For your own account data, support prepares a copy and emails the links within one month. For the steps on the Kahunas side, see our guide on how to switch from Kahunas.
Where Coachway fits, and where it does not.
We build Coachway, so read this section with that in mind. It is not the lowest price. On the US plan, $39 a month covers your first 5 active clients and then $4.99 for each extra, so 10 clients cost $63.95 and 100 clients $513.05. Both Kahunas and MyStrengthBook are below that at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients. Prices differ by country, and the current ones are on our pricing page.
where it fits
- Training, meal plans, food logging, check-ins and payments in one workspace. The check-in opens as one card beside the chat, with weight and ratings and their change since the last check-in, photos, answers, and a mark-as-reviewed button.
- 1,700+ library exercises with demos, and your own by upload or a YouTube link. RIR, RPE and tempo per set.
- Food logging in the client app, including an AI food log that gives an estimate the client confirms before anything is logged.
- Client app and coach dashboard in eight languages, five of them (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and German) reviewed by native-speaking coaches.
- Payments on your own Stripe account. Month to month, no lock-in, and a real person replies the same day on weekdays.
where it does not
- No white-label or custom-branded app. Your logo and brand colours go on the progress images you share, not inside the client app.
- Not the lowest price per client, as above.
- We take 2.4% per transaction on payments, plus Stripe's fees. Kahunas states 0% commission.
- No free plan. MyStrengthBook lists PUSH as free to join with a revenue share.
- We make no claim on this page about percent-of-1RM programming or an annual planner. MyStrengthBook documents both. Test our builder against your own template before you decide.
If neither of these two is the one, our guide to Kahunas alternatives lists the wider field.

Kahunas vs MyStrengthBook, frequently asked.
How does MyStrengthBook pricing compare with Kahunas?
On the prices both publish, MyStrengthBook PULL costs USD 3.99 per client per month, and Kahunas costs USD 5.00 per seat a month from 3 to 24 seats, falling to USD 2.50 from 25, USD 2.00 from 50 and USD 1.50 from 100. At 10 clients that is USD 39.90 for MyStrengthBook against USD 50.00 for Kahunas. At 25 clients it is USD 99.75 against USD 62.50, at 50 clients USD 199.50 against USD 100.00, and at 100 clients USD 399.00 against USD 150.00. On monthly billing the break-even is 16 clients, and paid yearly Kahunas costs less from 13. All figures are monthly and in USD; Kahunas states its prices are before tax and MyStrengthBook's page does not say. Checked 12 November 2026. MyStrengthBook does not publish a yearly price, a minimum or what counts as a client.
How do payments work on MyStrengthBook and Kahunas?
MyStrengthBook's revenue share applies to PUSH and Hybrid: its pricing page lists PUSH, for selling program subscriptions, as free with a 20% revenue share, and Hybrid as USD 3.99 per client plus 20%. PULL, the 1:1 plan, is listed at USD 3.99 per client with no revenue share, and its page says "No hidden fees" (checked 12 November 2026). The PULL feature list does not mention client payments, and the pages do not say which card fees apply, so ask MyStrengthBook. Kahunas says it charges 0% commission on your sales and that clients pay through your own Stripe or PayPal account, with Stripe's or PayPal's usual fees. Coachway runs payments on your own Stripe account and takes 2.4% per transaction, plus Stripe's fees.
Does MyStrengthBook have a branded app, and does Kahunas?
MyStrengthBook's pricing page lists White Labeling in the PULL feature list, and its PULL page lists a custom branded app. Its PULL page says an App Store listing is optional and costs 100 dollars a year for an Apple Developer account plus a one-time setup fee of 100 dollars (checked 12 November 2026). Kahunas includes its branded app from 200 seats: your logo and colour on the client app, with no store listing, because the app installs from your link. Coachway has no white-label or custom-branded app: your logo and colours go on the progress images you share, not inside the client app.
Can I move my clients from Kahunas to MyStrengthBook?
We read the home, pricing, PULL and Powerlifting pages and the 2 June, 8 July and 27 October 2026 product updates on mystrengthbook.com (checked 12 November 2026). None of them mentions Kahunas or importing from another coaching platform. The 27 October update lists an "Import from spreadsheets" tool for programs, in private beta. If you want help moving, ask MyStrengthBook what it can bring across. On the Kahunas side, its help centre documents a data copy that goes to the client on request, without chat messages, and a copy of your own account data that support prepares within one month.
Does MyStrengthBook have a free trial?
Yes, its pricing and PULL pages offer a 14-day free trial (checked 12 November 2026). The pages we read do not say whether a card is taken at sign-up. Kahunas also offers 14 days, and says Stripe takes your card when you sign up and charges nothing until the trial ends.
Is MyStrengthBook only for powerlifting coaches?
No. Its site has a Powerlifting page, and its navigation also lists general fitness, bodybuilding, functional training, strongman, Olympic weightlifting, sports teams, and rehab and therapy (checked 12 November 2026). Its PULL page names online coaches, personal trainers, allied health and teams as users.
When might Coachway suit you instead?
Kahunas, MyStrengthBook and Coachway all cover training, nutrition, check-ins and client payments, so test each against your own week. Coachway may suit you if you want the check-in as one card beside the chat, an AI food log that gives the client an estimate to confirm, and the client app and coach dashboard in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch, Spanish or English. We have not checked which languages Kahunas or MyStrengthBook offer. It fits less well if you need your own branded app or the lowest price per client, and we make no claim here about percent-of-1RM programming, which MyStrengthBook documents. Coachway has no free plan and no white-label app, and it takes 2.4% per transaction on payments, plus Stripe's fees.
