Kahunas vs QuickCoach in 2026: price at 10 to 100 clients, the free plan and what each one includes.
QuickCoach publishes a free plan. Kahunas prices per seat. This page puts the two next to each other on what a coach leaving Kahunas checks first: cost at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients, the client app, training, nutrition, check-ins, payments, the trial, the branded app and moving in. Every fact comes from each company's own pages, checked on 12 November 2026 and linked where it is used.

the short answer
QuickCoach publishes a Free plan for up to 20 active clients and Pro at USD 39 a month for unlimited clients, so its subscription is lower than Kahunas at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients (Kahunas is USD 50, 62.50, 100 and 150 a month, billed monthly). Kahunas states 0% commission on your sales and lists nutrition and barcode scanning on every plan. QuickCoach takes a 3.5% platform fee on Pro (10% on Free) when you charge clients through its Client Billing, and nutrition is a Pro feature with barcode scanning as a USD 12.99 add-on.

What does the QuickCoach free plan include, and what does it cap?
QuickCoach's plans and pricing guide (checked 12 November 2026) describes Free as "up to 20 active clients with no time limit" and "not a trial". Its home page adds "No card needed". QuickCoach says Free includes:
- The full programming and workout builder, with unlimited programs and tasks.
- Client mobile and web apps.
- Single habit tracking.
- Client Billing on your own Stripe account, at a 10% platform fee plus Stripe's fee.
- The post-plan survey, and check-ins built as plans.
The caps and gaps, as QuickCoach lists them:
- 20 active clients. Inactive clients do not count toward the limit. Per the QuickCoach FAQ, once you reach 20 active, QuickCoach locks the workspace and upgrading to Pro is the only way back in.
- No status filter and no inactive history. The roster is search-only on Free. The Active, Inactive and All filter is a Pro feature, and inactive client history is not kept.
- Pro-only features. Nutrition in client plans, multiple habits, the branded client app, branded welcome emails and plan printouts, push notifications to clients, client activity notifications, Training Insights, images on tasks and priority support.
QuickCoach's Pro features and pricing guide (updated October 23, 2026) carries the full Free vs Pro table. For a coach coming from Kahunas, the practical point is that the free tier fits a small roster doing training and simple habits. Nutrition, branding and anything past 20 clients sit on Pro.
Kahunas vs QuickCoach price at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients
Both publish enough to work this out. Kahunas lists a price per seat on kahunas.io/pricing: 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 (yearly is 20% off, so USD 4.00, 2.00, 1.60 and 1.20). A seat is an active client or a team member. QuickCoach lists Free and Pro at a flat price. These figures count clients only, in US dollars before tax. The arithmetic is ours, from the two price lists.
| Clients | Kahunas, monthly billing | Kahunas, yearly billing (per month) | QuickCoach, monthly | QuickCoach, yearly billing (per month) | How |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 clients | USD 50 | USD 40 | USD 0 (Free) | USD 0 (Free) | Kahunas: 10 seats x USD 5.00 (monthly) or USD 4.00 (yearly). QuickCoach: within the Free cap of 20. |
| 25 clients | USD 62.50 | USD 50 | USD 39 (Pro) | USD 32.50 (Pro) | Kahunas: 25 x USD 2.50, or 25 x USD 2.00 yearly. QuickCoach: over the Free cap, so Pro at USD 39, or USD 390 a year. |
| 50 clients | USD 100 | USD 80 | USD 39 (Pro) | USD 32.50 (Pro) | Kahunas: 50 x USD 2.00, or 50 x USD 1.60 yearly. QuickCoach: Pro, same price. |
| 100 clients | USD 150 | USD 120 | USD 39 (Pro) | USD 32.50 (Pro) | Kahunas: 100 x USD 1.50, or 100 x USD 1.20 yearly. QuickCoach: Pro, same price. |
On the subscription, QuickCoach is lower at every count in the table. Kahunas bills a bigger tier when it costs the same or less, and no count here is near that edge. Each side has extras the table leaves out:
- Team members. On Kahunas each non-archived team member takes a seat. Add a seat per assistant to the Kahunas figures.
- QuickCoach add-ons. Coach Workflows is USD 14.99 a month, the Nutrition Booster Pack (barcode scanning) USD 12.99 a month, and a custom website build USD 29 a month on Pro, all billed separately.
- Kahunas AI credits. Every business gets 250 a month; packs cost USD 10, 45 or 70 a month if you want more.
- Payment fees. Kahunas states 0% commission. QuickCoach Client Billing takes 10% on Free and 3.5% on Pro. Stripe's own fee applies on both.
The payment fee can change the order. QuickCoach's own example: a coach taking USD 3,000 a month through Client Billing pays USD 300 in platform fees on Free and USD 105 on Pro. At 25 clients that is USD 39 + USD 105 = USD 144 on QuickCoach Pro against USD 62.50 on Kahunas, before Stripe's fees. If you do not use Client Billing, none of this applies. Where the Pro fee overtakes the subscription gap, at monthly billing:
| Clients | Subscription gap (Kahunas minus QuickCoach Pro) | 3.5% equals the gap at |
|---|---|---|
| 25 clients | USD 62.50 - USD 39 = USD 23.50 | about USD 671 a month through Client Billing |
| 50 clients | USD 100 - USD 39 = USD 61 | about USD 1,743 a month through Client Billing |
| 100 clients | USD 150 - USD 39 = USD 111 | about USD 3,171 a month through Client Billing |
Each figure is the gap divided by 0.035, for example USD 23.50 / 0.035 = USD 671. Above that monthly revenue, QuickCoach Pro plus its fee costs more than Kahunas. For the full Kahunas ladder see our Kahunas per-seat pricing explainer.
Client app, training and nutrition compared
Client app. Kahunas says its web app installs from the coach's link in 3 taps with no store download, on every plan. That is part of the Kahunas 2.0 update. QuickCoach says its app is a progressive web app installed through the browser, with client mobile and web apps on Free (QuickCoach Pro guide). So on delivery the two are close: neither is an App Store listing.
Training. Kahunas describes a workout builder with 1,700+ exercise videos, your own videos by upload or YouTube link, and saved workouts and blocks as templates (kahunas.io/features/workouts). QuickCoach describes plans and programs built from a task library you fill yourself, with an optional import of almost 1,400 exercises that come with a video and description (import guide), plus YouTube or Vimeo links and voice notes. Its FAQ lists up to 99 program templates.
Nutrition. Kahunas lists macro targets, meal plans, food logging and a barcode scanner on every plan, over 1.5 million foods, and recipes from 25 clients (kahunas.io/features/nutrition). QuickCoach puts nutrition in Pro: food search over 2.3 million verified foods, calories and macros, photo scanning with estimated calories, and a client food log. It says barcode scanning is the only thing the USD 12.99 Nutrition Booster Pack adds. Both are checked 12 November 2026.
Check-ins and payments compared
Check-ins. Kahunas says you build a check-in form once and clients fill it in on their phone, and every answer lands in one inbox next to their last check-in, so you reply in the same place (kahunas.io/features/check-ins). QuickCoach takes a different route. Its check-ins guide says it has no separate form builder and does not need one: a check-in is a plan whose tasks are questions, each answer box takes up to 50 characters (clients can add a longer comment after they submit, and QuickCoach suggests linking a separate form for long answers), and a measurement kept as a library task builds a history. It also says the Coach Workflows add-on (USD 14.99 a month) sends a check-in in one click and writes check-in summaries.
Payments. Kahunas says clients pay through your own Stripe or PayPal and Kahunas takes 0% commission (kahunas.io/features/payments). QuickCoach says Client Billing charges clients by card through your own Stripe account, sells one-off packages or subscriptions from weekly to yearly, and has no monthly charge, with the 10% or 3.5% platform fee described above plus Stripe's fee. It is optional, and QuickCoach's Client Billing update says you can keep using bank transfer, PayPal or another billing system outside it. Client Billing itself is card payments through Stripe.
If you move payments, remember that a running subscription lives in your payment account, not in the coaching app. QuickCoach's Client Billing terms say switching it off does not cancel subscriptions already running in Stripe.
Branded app and free trial compared
Branded app. Kahunas says its branded app is included from 200 clients: your logo and brand colour on the client app, login page and coach portal, with no store listing (kahunas.io/features/branded-app). QuickCoach offers a custom-branded client app on Pro at any roster size, with your name, logo and colours, installed from the browser, plus branded welcome emails and plan printouts. If you have fewer than 200 clients and want your own name on the app, the two differ here: QuickCoach lists the branded app on Pro at any roster size, Kahunas from 200 clients.
Trial. Kahunas offers 14 days, and its pricing FAQ says Stripe takes your card at sign-up and charges nothing until the trial ends. Its feature pages add "a 3-month money-back guarantee" after the trial. QuickCoach's Free plan is not a trial and needs no card; its Pro plan has a 14-day trial. If you only want to test the product on a few clients, QuickCoach Free removes the card step. Both checked 12 November 2026.
Moving from Kahunas to QuickCoach, or the other way
Out of Kahunas. Kahunas's help centre documents a copy of each client's data as a zip file (profile, check-ins, form answers, workout and nutrition logs, measurements, goals, payment records, and uploaded photos and files), with a download link that works for 72 hours. Kahunas describes this as its process for answering a client's request for a copy of their data, and says to log a request only when a client has really asked. It says chat messages are not in the copy yet. For your own account data, it says Kahunas support prepares a copy and emails download links within one month. Our guide on how to switch from Kahunas covers the steps.
Into QuickCoach. Its FAQ says there is no native import or export of tasks and suggests importing from its own exercise library. We read no QuickCoach page about importing clients, programs or check-in history from another platform, so ask QuickCoach support what it can bring across before you commit.
Kahunas says existing coaches keep their current plan and price until they choose a seat plan themselves, so you can test a second tool alongside it. Whatever you pick, run a few real clients through it for a week before you switch the rest.
Which fits which kind of coach?
- You have 20 clients or fewer and mostly deliver training. QuickCoach says Free costs nothing and needs no card. Check that you can live without nutrition and branding.
- You have 25 or more clients and want the lowest subscription. QuickCoach Pro at USD 39 is lower than Kahunas at every count in the table, if you are fine with the Pro feature set.
- Most of your income runs through the platform's payment tool. Kahunas, because it states 0% commission. Work out the 3.5% on QuickCoach with the table above.
- Nutrition is central and you want barcode scanning. Kahunas includes it on every plan. QuickCoach sells it as an add-on on top of Pro.
- You want your own name on the app and have fewer than 200 clients. QuickCoach Pro. Kahunas includes its branded app from 200 clients.
- You want a form-style check-in with answers in one inbox. Kahunas describes that. QuickCoach builds check-ins as plans with short answers per question and a comment box.
Where Coachway fits, and where it does not
Coachway is our own platform, so weigh this section with that in mind. We are not the lowest price in this comparison. Kahunas's published price per client is lower than ours at every client count, and QuickCoach's is lower still. We have no free plan.
Where it fits:
- Client list, chat, the check-in and the meal plan sit on one screen. A check-in lands as one card with weight, photos and answers, and the change since last time.
- Clients log food in the app: they search about 3.7 million foods, scan a barcode, or snap or type a meal and fix the AI estimate before tapping Add. Nothing logs before that.
- 1,700+ library exercises with demos, plus your own by upload or a YouTube link.
- The client app and the coach dashboard are in eight languages, with Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and German reviewed by native-speaking coaches.
- Clients pay into your own Stripe account. Coachway takes 2.4% per transaction, plus Stripe's fees. That is a fee on top of Stripe's, and Kahunas states 0% commission.
- Month to month, no lock-in.
Where it does not:
- If a free plan is the point, QuickCoach is the one to try.
- If you need your own logo inside the client app, Coachway has no white-label app. Your logo and brand colours go on the progress images you share, not inside the app. QuickCoach Pro and Kahunas (from 200 clients) offer a branded web app.
- If you want the lowest bill, Kahunas and QuickCoach both cost less than Coachway on the numbers above, and Kahunas states 0% commission.
If you are leaving Kahunas, client payment subscriptions do not move with the data. They are set up again on your own Stripe, and we tell you what can come across before anything changes. For a wider list, see our Kahunas alternatives, or the head-to-head Coachway vs QuickCoach.

Kahunas vs QuickCoach, frequently asked.
Is the QuickCoach subscription lower than Kahunas at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients?
By the published prices, yes: at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients. QuickCoach publishes a Free plan for up to 20 clients and Pro at USD 39 a month (USD 390 a year) for unlimited clients. Kahunas charges per seat: USD 50 at 10 clients, USD 62.50 at 25, USD 100 at 50 and USD 150 at 100 on monthly billing. Payments change the picture if you use QuickCoach Client Billing, which takes a 3.5% platform fee on Pro and 10% on Free, while Kahunas states 0% commission. Checked 12 November 2026.
What does the QuickCoach free plan include, and what does it cap?
QuickCoach says Free covers up to 20 active clients with no time limit, unlimited programs and tasks, and client mobile and web apps. Client Billing is available at a 10% platform fee plus Stripe's fee. Nutrition, multiple habits, branding, push notifications and Training Insights are Pro features. At 20 active clients the workspace locks until you upgrade to Pro, and inactive clients do not count toward the limit. Checked 12 November 2026.
Does QuickCoach have nutrition coaching like Kahunas?
Yes, on Pro. QuickCoach lists food search over 2.3 million verified foods, calories and macros, food photo scanning and a client food log in Pro, with barcode scanning as a separate USD 12.99 a month add-on. Kahunas lists meal plans, macro targets, food logging and its barcode scanner on every plan, says it has over 1.5 million foods, and lists recipes from 25 clients. Checked 12 November 2026.
Which one takes less from client payments?
Kahunas states 0% commission on your sales, with clients paying through your own Stripe or PayPal and only Stripe's or PayPal's usual fees on top. QuickCoach Client Billing is optional and uses your own Stripe account, with a 10% platform fee on Free or 3.5% on Pro plus Stripe's fee. Checked 12 November 2026.
Can I get a branded app on QuickCoach and on Kahunas?
Both describe a branded web app that installs from a link, not an App Store or Google Play listing. QuickCoach offers the branded client app on Pro at any roster size. Kahunas includes its branded app from 200 clients. Both are checked on 12 November 2026.
Can I move my clients from Kahunas to QuickCoach?
We found no QuickCoach page about importing clients or programs from another platform. Its FAQ says there is no native import or export of tasks and points to its own exercise library. Kahunas documents a zip copy of each client's data for client data requests (chat messages not included) and a copy of your account data from support within one month. Ask QuickCoach support what it can bring across before you commit. Checked 12 November 2026.
Is Coachway a free alternative to QuickCoach?
No. Coachway has no free plan, and its price is higher than QuickCoach's published price at the client counts compared here. It has no white-label app either. What it offers is one screen for client list, chat, check-ins and meal plans, a food log with an AI estimate the client confirms, and client payments on your own Stripe at 2.4% per transaction plus Stripe's fees.
